Very cute and comfortable cabin. Wonderful views. Paved road up to the driveway was a real plus! Great for me and my husband and our beagle Buttercup. The pack porch has a gate and the railings are not open so you can have your dog sit outside with you easily. Had every amenity needed -including a paper clip!!! Very close to Dillsboro by car. Cute shopping and restaurants. Instant hot water heater was appreciated. Great cabin vibe but not too “rustic”. Also appreciated that the yard and the side of the road was mowed so you could walk outside with your pet without going into tall vegetation, but you still felt like you were in the woods.
Beautiful View even in the rain!
Buttercup loved the covered porch!

Property had the best view!!! Pet friendly and very easily accessible to downtown, Cherokee, and Whittier. Just a slight side note, to no fault of the owner because we didn’t let them know, right when we walked in, there was dog poop on the rug, so it make us a little hesitant on the cleanliness side. But we’re dog people and we know it happens so we just cleaned it up and moved on! We also ended up having to search for the tv remote, which we found under the couch. It wasn’t a big deal, but was a little different having to go looking for it. Great spot for a weekend getaway though! Would recommend (:

There should not have been ANYTHING on the rug when you walked in. Our cleaning service handles things like that and making sure the remote is in place to be easily found. I'm sorry that wasn't the case here, but ordinarily everything is cleaned and organized to a high standard.

Thank you, Elijah! The weather was pretty awful, but I’m glad it didn’t totally block that view. I was staying up the hill from you this weekend, but I make it a point not to “greet” people if I’m around. 😎 I went in after you left as I had not been in the cottage since it went live two months ago, and it could not have been in better shape! I appreciate you and hope you can indeed return. Enjoy the Holidays! Phil

About the host

Hosted by Philip Brown

Host profile image
I'm an attorney from Macon, Georgia and spend most of my time there. I manage this property for other family members after we bought it from an old family friend who passed away in recent years. I enjoy the outdoors and love sports such as football, basketball and baseball. Reading, spending time with family and looking after two cats occupies most of my time away from work. I am enjoying hosting simply for the challenge of doing something different that allows others to experience locations near and dear to me and my family.

Why they chose this property

Relative seclusion, a property with meaning for my family and an incredible view across Dillsboro of miles of mountains.

What makes this property unique

The view of Dillsboro and the particular mountains that can be seen from here.
