Plott Mountain Home-Amazing views @ 4,100 feet!!!

The only negative is the steep narrow road to the cabin.

My husband and our two year old daughter had a great time staying at this cabin! The views are awesome, and the cabin is spacious and clean. Sitting on the cabin's porch at sunset is so relaxing! There is a full kitchen with a stove top, oven, dishwasher, microwave, and full-size fridge, so we ate many of our meals at the cabin. There is a washer and dryer on the premises and the wifi worked well, both of which helped make traveling with a young child easier! We had no issues driving on the road up to the cabin, but we stayed here in August, when there isn't any snow and daylight lasts until 9pm. I didn't think it was any harder to drive up to than any other property I've accessed at the top of a mountain though. The cabin is close to the Blueridge Parkway, and we enjoyed the short, scenic drive to hike Waterrock Knob and stop at different vistas along the parkway. We also drove up to The Swag Inn for a packed picnic lunch, which was a little pricey, and some good hiking. Since we hiked with a two year old, we only took short hikes, but the cabin offers access to many great trails in the area. Waynesville is very cute, and we recommend eating at Sweet Onion or Birchwood, both delicious and good for kids. Its also very close to the cabin, and so its easy to stock up on food and other provisions.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Mountain House! It was well-equipped and immaculately clean when we arrived. The views were magical - in clear weather, you have a view straight across the valley. Then one morning the clouds sat in the valley below, leaving only the tops of the mountains in view, like islands in the sky. Another night we watched cloud to cloud lightning that was over South Carolina like it was a show just for us.

There was awesome wildlife on the mountain - we saw a bear several hundred yards down the driveway on our way home one evening, groundhogs, chipmunks and so many birds.

The host does an excellent job communicating, and it was the perfect location for adventures we wanted to have in both Asheville and Bryson City. We packed in visits to two breweries, tubing, the Biltmore, three hikes, and waterfalls all over the place.

Overall, great accommodations for our party of seven.

We would definitely go back and rent the house again.

This cabin was in great shape. Very Private. Fantastic view. Had most everything you needed in the kitchen. Plenty of parking. Plenty of garage space for the bikes! Didn't understand the balcony as there was no door to access it, although that didn't affect our experience. :)
