About this property

Private Mountain Cabin With Loft/Hot Tub/Stream and pet friendly

Nestled in the Smoky Mountains, this private cabin with loft is perfect for couples, honeymooners and folks looking to get away. The Family Cabin is located on Howells at the Moon Farm, which is a 13 acre old tobacco farm. The master bedroom has a king size bed with luxury linens and a fireplace to set a romantic mood. The loft has two twin beds, so bring the kids for a great family getaway. PS2 and games are included. The kitchen is fully stocked, and even has spices and oil to cook up a great meal. The living area has plenty of seating and a large, flat screen TV with Roku TV and free Netflix and free Wifi. Your cabin comes with a huge front porch with rockers to soak up the sounds of nature that surrounds you in the forest. The year round hot tub and fire pit will provide plenty of hours of rest and relaxation. This property is unique; although you are tucked on the side of a mountain with plenty of privacy, you are minutes from a grocery store and all the amenities the area has to offer. We are also pet friendly and have trails on the property to walk your furry friend.

The Town of Waynesville is a great place to visit in any season. Whether one is looking to explore the mountains during their mild summers, gaze at the natural splendor of fall leaf changes, or view snow covered mountains during the winter, the town offers such vacationing for any preference. With their proximity to the natural wonders of The Great Smoky Mountains National Park as well as the famous Blue Ridge Parkway, town is truly a place of recreational opportunity. Perhaps one of the town’s greatest assets is its unique and lively Main Street, featured here on this webcam. From its local restaurants and breweries serving up local options, to its diverse stores, Waynesville offers attractions and shopping for all.

Let the Family Cabin rejuvenate your tired spirit.

Second stay here at Howell’s at The Moon Farm…we absolutely love this cabin, and the area. A short drive to Waynesville and the Maggie Valley/Cherokee area but you feel like you’re secluded by the creek at 3,000 feet. Hot tub is clean and always a PLUS!

My husband and I had the most wonderful stay at this cabin for our honeymoon! The host was incredibly kind and welcoming—she surprised us with a bottle of champagne and a candle, which made our stay feel extra special. She even made sure the hot tub was already running when we arrived so we could enjoy it right away. The cabin was spotless and absolutely perfect for our stay. The property itself is beautiful, and there was so much to do in the surrounding area. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special time and will definitely be booking again. Highly recommend!

We loved the place. I think we spent most of our stay around the fire pit. We found a place close by that gave out free firewood. I loved the hot tub and the wooded area. Can't wait to come back. Thank you for everything.

Peaceful respite

Exactly what I needed, some peace and quiet, with a very comfy bed! The check in process was very easy and just as described. It's an adorable cabin. When you have become accustomed to noise pollution, the stillness and quiet outside are remarkable. Fresh eggs for breakfast was an unexpected perk! I was there for a conference at Lake Junaluska, and this was the perfect little hideaway to come back to. Thank you!

Birthday Rest and Relaxation

This was the absolute most relaxing birthday I’ve had in 52 years! The cabin was very clean and cozy. The bed was sooo comfy I could’ve slept longer but I was excited to wake up to the hot tub and beautiful mountains! We were up from SC and the air was so much nicer in WNC! Waynesville was a great little town with great places to eat. My husband loved the beer and wings at The Boojum Brewery. We’re planning our next stay here at the farm for the fall season very soon!

About the host

Hosted by Judy Howell

Host profile image
John and Judy Howell were working for the government in the DC area, and got married in Maggie Valley. They fell in love with the area and began to look for property. They feel completely blessed to have found this beautiful slice of heaven, which they named Howells at the Moon Farm.

Why they chose this property

This property is so unique. It was an old farm and in the same family until early 2000. It's on 13 acres, surrounded by fields and forests, with mountain views. You will feel like you are in a private haven surrounded by nature, but you are in fact minutes away from towns, shopping and activities. It is, truly, the best of both worlds. This property has hiking trails, long range mountain views, mountain streams, and privacy.

What makes this property unique

From the front porch of the cabin, you can sit with a glass of wine or hot cup of coffee, and gaze at the mist in the woods and hear the leaves rustling. Just listen to the sounds of nature and watch the fireflies dance in the evening. You will forget how hectic life can be when everything here is so tranquil. The cabin is cozy and comfortable; it's charm and hominess is to be enjoyed by couples, partners, friends, honeymooners, or folks looking to get away. The bedroom is comfy and outfitted in soft, high-end bed linens. The king size bed is a Saatva, and completely luxurious. After a day spent hiking or shopping, you will look forward to snuggling up in your nest. The living room has games and cards, but also has Roku TV and wireless internet for times when you want to 'plug back in'. You will love staying here; it's like your home away from home. There are streams on the property and trails on the property , as well as our girls in the chicken coop. The property will delight you and renew your spirit. Breathe in the fresh mountain air and feel yourself relax.
