About this property

Mountain High - Cozy Mountain Home

Mountain High is a three-bed, two-bath cabin that accommodates up to six individuals. The two-story cabin has a paved driveway with parking for 2-3 cars, central heat and a/c, WIFi, and an outdoor gas grill on the open porch with a serene wooded view. The master bedroom on the main level houses a queen-sized bed, while the two guest bedrooms upstairs respectively house a queen-sized bed and two full-sized beds. The home is perfect for families, as the owner has stocked up on board games and DVDs, and the smart TV has ROKU and a Bluetooth soundbar.

Mountain High cabin sits perched amidst the tall maples, poplars, and oaks of the Dillsboro Villas Community, just minutes away from the historic town of Dillsboro, home to the Tuckaseegee River, where you can tube, raft, fish or kayak. Enjoy craft shops and dining, day trips, antiquing, or train rides. Rest assured that when your day is done and you're ready to relax, you can do so in relative seclusion, and still enjoy close proximity to your favorite excursions.

The home has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, the carpet was stained and dirty, walls are scuffed everywhere, and many doors were dirty on and around the handles. The kitchen was clean. Sheets need to be replaced and the deck needs to be power washed - it’s a bit slippery. Again, lots of potential, but we will not be back.

I will also be sure to pass your recommendation regarding the deck to the homeowner. With any luck we will be able to show you our standard five star customer service experience in the future.

Fantastic cabin in the Smoky Mountains

This cabin is perfectly equipped. Super comfortable and clean. The beds are comfy. My husband and I both worked remotely for a few days while there and the wifi was strong and steady. the team is super attentive and responsive. Our fire place wasn't working and someone came out to re light the pilot so fast.This is a gem of a mountain getaway cabin and we loved it so much we already re-booked!

Great getaway cabin

Great stay in fantastic location

This home was in the perfect location for us. Both Dillsboro and Sylva are beautiful little towns full of the greatest people. The team at Sundog were also so great to work with. They were quick to respond and made sure our needs were priority. We cannot wait to return in the spring or summer for more fun. Management Response: Thank you for your feedback!

Mountain High did not disappoint

Mountain High was a great experience. We were in town for a wedding. It was close to the venue which made it very convenient. The house was clean and had great amenities. The drive up the hill, especially the first time was a bit of a challenge, even in our 2019 Toyota Highlander. Thankfully we were given a head's up prior to arrival about the three tight switchback turns. It was a great choice for the five of us. Management Response: Thank you for your feedback! We would be happy to host you again sometime!

Cabin access could be better

The cabin itself was clean, the beds were comfortable, and was home was spacious. The front porch is in desperate need of a cleaning, there were a lot of cob webs. The road access to get to the cabin is what will keep me front renting again, it is a way lane road that is very filled with curves and a steep incline. The parking area is also very tight if more than two cars are parked there, turning a vehicle around is also difficult. Since the road is one lane and a tight fit a U-Haul truck (front another rental cabin) got stuck in front of our cabin we were unable to access the cabin until very late Thursday night.

Nice but needs some TLC

Couple things. The road up is not for the faint of heart. It’s STEEEEEEP, narrow and has several 180 deg switchbacks. It’d be tough in inclement weather, I’m glad I took it in the daylight the first trip. You need good brakes and I’d recommend against a manual transmission The deck railing is very wobbly. It needs replaced for safety. The interior needs paint badly. The sheets and beds were clean as were the bathrooms. Some dust in the corners

Gorgeous home! Issues with management

House was perfect for our needs! Drive was a bit crazy but home was 10000% with it! Directions got us there with no issue! We love this area and the house location was perfectly nestled near Cherokee, Sylva and Dillon! Our issues were with house keeping being late and sitting outside when we showed up and after a long trip the last thing our kids wanted to do was wait in the car even another hour. The washing machine leaking which was kinda a bummer as we couldn't do laundry luckily it was a short trip. And the tv missing a remote so having to shuffle the roku into the living area and losing the sound bar since there was no longer a plug for it and the fireplace wouldn't work. Kitchen had EVERYTHING you may need which was great! There was a vacuum available for any small messes which is a must with little kids.

Weekend Getaway

Mountain High was a very good rental with all the comforts of home and we enjoyed the space and seclusion being just a short distance from town and activities, but as with the other reviews for this cabin there are a few items would be renters may want to know regarding this property. Item one, the road/driveway to the cabin is paved and very steep with switchbacks but not very long. There is room for parking about four vehicles but you have to back out of the driveway and go up to the turnaround to head out of the property. If you have just one vehicle you can turn around in the parking area of the cabin, but this, and the backing option, is not ideal for beginner drivers or the vision impaired. Item two, the water source for the cabin must be well water and definitely has the smell of sulphur in it and was not pleasant for bathing or common uses. We used bottled water for drinking, brushing teeth, making coffee, etc. but the smell was a little strong when washing hands or showering. Not sure if the driveway or the parking can be made any better but there is technology available for getting rid of the unpleasant water smell. The cabin is fairly priced based on comparisons for size, beds, etc. Not a bad stay just had to deal with a few things you should not have too when paying this rate for lodging.

Never Again Will We Stay Here

The rental agency didn't send the information until the day we were to check in, and didn't send it until after we had left. The directions were a PDF attachment that could not be accessed from my phone. When we inquired about a folder or notebook with the instructions in it, the response was that there wasn't one at the rental house because of COVID. If COVID is the concern , why is this place so dirty? Accessing the directions required extra effort on our part since we had to locate a computer to log in from to review the directions (which were written for multiple houses so not all applied). When we arrived.... there were dirty dishes in dishwasher from previous renter; trash in kitchen garbage can from previous renter; coffee maker still had grounds in it, dog hair and dirt/crumbs all over LR coffee table (had to clean it before playing a game). A window blind in the bedroom was broken - cord was frayed - so it wouldn't close properly. The sofa smelled like dogs. The carpet has stains in many places. The shower curtain is moldy. Dirt/grime has collected along the baseboards where they meet the carpet - it needs a good vacuum with the vacuum crevice attachment. No dining table - just a narrow bar height table that cannot seat all four of us without moving the sofa (spare stools would need to be placed in the walkway behind the sofa) so two people sat with their plates in their laps. Very odd layout. Road/driveway is super narrow and "on the edge" - it's wide enough for only one car and there is no shoulder. If you encounter another vechicle coming toward you, someone has to back up until you reach a driveway to pull in to. The road is very steep with several bends. One bend is so sharp you may have to do a 3 point turn to get around it depending on the size of your vehicle (Mini Cooper vs Ford Escape). Definitely won't be staying here again.

The confirmation email which was sent to you on 7/31 does inform you of our current remote check-in policy and the informative email does include the fact that directions are sent on the morning of arrival. The directions sent to you included information/directions only for the home you rented, as we do not send information for any other homes. In regard to the issues experienced during your stay, we are available by phone 7 days a week and a member of our team would have been more than happy to assist you with any in house issues and/or concerns. Thank you for your feedback, Lori!

A place to lay your head

The rental rate for the property fits it’s condition but to pay the same amount in a cleaning fee equal to a 2 night stay is ridiculous. I did not allow my younger child on the deck because the rail is about to fall off especially if you leaned too hard, the water had a very foul odor. Unfortunately I would not rent this cabin again however it serves its purpose in proximity to the location of the family reunion
