About this property

Serenity Comes with a View — Welcome to “Peace of the Mountain”

There's a certain calm that hits when the road fades, the trees get taller, and the mountain air settles in. Peace of the Mountain is where that feeling sticks. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath retreat is perched above Bryson City with long-range views, a bubbling hot tub, grill, and a covered deck made for slow mornings and relaxed evenings. Inside, you'll find cozy touches and everyday comforts, including a full kitchen, a stone fireplace, and plenty of space to unwind. Three private acres surround the cabin, giving you room to breathe without being far from town.

Whether you're hiking in the Nantahala, paddling Fontana Lake, casting a line in the Tuckasegee, or riding the rails with the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, this cabin is your perfect basecamp. Head into town for a meal, explore the nearby Cherokee reservation and casino, then settle back into your own quiet slice of the Smokies.

The property was beautiful and in a great location. The host was great and was very helpful and responsive to our needs. It was an enjoying relaxing stay. The communities of Bryson City and Dillsboro are courteous and friendly. The cabin is a great place to spend a week or two in the mountains. I highly recommend this property. Thanks for a great stay!

My husband, heeler and I had a great time! The cabin was on a beautiful mountain and so very cozy. The couch is so comfortable and warm in front of the fireplace. It was perfectly stocked with firewood! The overlooking porch was breathtaking and loved drinking my (well stocked) morning coffee. The pool table/air hockey table was so fun!
We had a little snow!

Peace of the Mountain--AMAZING!

My wife and I spent 5 wonderful nights in this incredible cabin. The views were beautiful and the cabin offered an amazing "peace" that only comes from mountain therapy. Enjoy the local eateries, shops and attractions. The GSR offers a great look into the past and the park is a short drive. What a vacation in an amazing getaway!

Wonderful stay!

The cabin was very clean and had a beautiful view. We were very impressed with the fully stocked kitchen. We were snowed in so we were very appreciative of the options in the kitchen. They also left a lot of firewood for us to use the wood fireplace. Neighborhood was very quiet and the driveway wasn’t too bad to get to this cabin. Overall loved it and will definitely book again!

Stunning Views!!

Our stay was absolutely magical!! Stunning views and being so close to Bryson City was wonderful. Only issues we came across was difficulty finding the cabin- we drove in circles for a while until contacting guest services who were very helpful! There were several lady bugs in the cabin that we could have done without. But other than that, it was a relaxing and enjoyable stay! 10/10 recommend!

We loved this beautiful cabin! It’s in a quiet area with a few cabins around but feels very secluded. The views are spectacular and we really loved enjoying them while sitting on the deck each day. The house was immaculately clean and was well equipped. It was also decorated nicely! Beds were comfortable too. We didn’t cook much but the kitchen was well equipped and there were plenty of extras if you plan to do so. There was even a sample of local coffee which was a nice touch! As others have mentioned, do not use GPS for getting to the cabin. The directions the host gave work much better! The drive is a bit of a challenge if you’re not used to gravel mountain roads, but after the first trip up and down, we had it figured out! Would love to stay here again in the future!

Family Getaway

This cabin was perfect for our long weekend in Bryson City. The cabin is not hard to get to and the view is amazing!! The hot tub was very clean and smelled of chlorine which as a pool owner I liked. There were some carpenter bees at the back porch which is common for the area. They are harmless and we just hung a brown paper bag filled with plastic bags to mimic a hornets nests. This scares them away! The Wi-Fi was good and our cell service worked fine! I would definitely recommend this cabin!

Great Weekend in the Mountain's

Perfect weekend in the Mountains! We booked the Polar Express with friends and decided staying in a Cabin would workout best. Cabin was about a 20 min drive to Bryson City. The cabin was very well equipped with everything you might need (keurig, smart tv, WiFi, vacuum, and lots of towels). There was one major hill/sharp turn to get up the mountain and thankful to be in a truck. There were lots of lady bugs and stink bugs, but nothing we couldn’t handle. The wood burning fireplace was great with plenty of firewood provided. View was spectacular. The kids loved getting in the hottub. We also loved all the Christmas decor! Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

We still miss it!

This was an amazing and very memorable trip. We decided to go hiking and spend some time in the nature and we chose the Peace of the Mountain house. We loved every minute of it! House is specious, beautiful views and overall great time! A few notes, none of us had any cell service on the mountain, but thankfully wi-fi in the house was good. Everything worked great, they have everything you might possibly need available in the house. The first night we left a garbage bag in the bin outside and had a visitor who ripped it apart. Still not sure who it was, but we drove the our garbage to a nearby center not to risk having it again.
