We came in town for a wedding at The Vineyards at Betty’s Creek. This house was perfect. Really close to the venue. Very cozy and accessible with a normal car. It is as advertised.
My son and I came to check out WCU and had a great stay at the cabin. Only 20 minutes from the school and located up on the side of a mountain, the cabin had everything we needed, particularly some peace and quiet and a comfy bed. Would definitely come back if in the area again.

Thank you for staying with us, please come back any time !
The cabin was great. Much larger than expected. Clean. Tidy. Located well. Very kind and responsive hosts throughout the whole process. Loved the porch. It is a very bright cabin! Which is wonderful, however I am a light sleeper and very sensitive to light. Just wanted to note that here in case anyone is like me you can be prepared. For a normal person, they would probably LOVE the light. It was a wonderful place!!
Host was excellent. Didn’t wait until the last minute to provide directions and access information. This was very appreciated. Instructions were clear and concise. The cottage was spotless and roomy. About 10 easy minutes to Sylva and Dillsboro.
Everything you need is at this cabin. Super clean, quick drive to anything you’d want to do. Excellent restaurants near by. We enjoyed it stay and will be back!
The cabin was great. Location made it easy for day trips. It was truly a home away from home for our trip. Well decorated and well stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed the fire pit and the supply of wood. Communication with host was exceptional. We will be back!

Thanks for the kind words , please come back and stay with us again soon!
The cabin was as advertised. Fit the needs of our 5 person family. Roomy and quiet. Host have thought of everything; DVDs, books, toys for kids. Beds/linens were very comfortable. Very convenient to Dillsboro, Cherokee and Bryson City. Would most definitely stay here again.
We really enjoyed our short stay at this cabin. It was just what we were looking for. The view was amazing and the interior was cute and cozy. The drive up the mountain was a little scarier than we realized it would be but we quickly got used to it. It was a great spot to stay while exploring the area.
Super clean, organized, well stocked, lots of space for our stuff.Great communication with host.First time up road & driveway required really paying attention, after that it was no problem.Lovely accents to make space beautiful and comfortable.
The owners of this property have painstakingly taken into account all necessary minute details to make our stay lovely. Beautiful setting and comfortable cabin!
Very nice property with great views. Location is easy to get to, but recommend a vehicle that isn't low to the ground, it may scrape in some spots on the way up the gravel road. Would definitely stay again.
We enjoyed our stay at the property. The cabin was clean and organized. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and we appreciated all the extras around the house that made the stay easy.
Great little hideaway! Centrally located to Sylva, Franklin, Cherokee and the list goes on. We were in town looking at purchasing our own property and this was the perfect "Base of Operations"! We had a Great time!

About the host
Hosted by Brad and Brandy Middleton
We are just your normal couple from Charleston, SC that LOVE the mountains! Some of our interests are exploring, antique shopping, breweries, getting in and on the water, hiking, and live music. We have 3 kids, a freshman at C of C and 2 seniors in High School.
Why they chose this property
We always enjoyed trips to the NC Mountains with our kids in the Summer to get away from the heat of Charleston, SC. Hiking, shopping, breweries and anything having to do with getting on or in the water are some of our favorite things to do. We started to look for a small cabin in 2020 and came across this one and fell in love. Brandy decorated the cabin down to each little detail to make it feel like our home and yours. The location is perfect. It's located about 5 hours away from us, is "secluded" but so close to everything we love about the mountains. Also, Brad is a Realtor and the internet and connectivity is huge. When we drove up to the house and saw that we both had 4 bars of Verizon service which made it that much better to be able to work while away. We hope that you will fall in love as we did, come stay at LBC and see for yourself!
What makes this property unique
Privacy. Location. Stocked home like it was your own. Attractions nearby. Breweries and restaurants close. Great cell service and internet for working while on the road. Feeling of warmth. Shopping. Ease of finding and getting to the house.
