Great one bedroom property for less than some of the local hotels plus you get a full kitchen, living room, deck, and a fantastic view. We only stayed for a few days to help our son move into school, but we enjoyed our time and wish we had more time to spend there.

A true hidden gem! This cabin offers exquisite Mountain views, overlooking the quaint town of Dillsboro. Many hours spent on the covered porch enjoying the peaceful and tranquil surroundings . The cabin was well equipped with everything we needed. If you are looking for a serene mountain retreat, with stunning views and plenty of charm, this is definitely a place worth visiting.

No water pressure. No body soap in the shower, Keurig coffee machine but no Keurig pods, the deck is 20 foot from the house next-door. It looks private in the photos, but it’s not. There were so many cars in the driveway that I had to back all the way out. The bed is awful! The couch was dirty and uncomfortable.

When one reads the other reviews, it's pretty clear that this man just wanted a free stay, and he didn't get one. He is more than welcome to never return. I don't have any patience for such nonsense.

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.
