A wonderful place to spend Christmas/new years! Our family came to ski Cataloochie and ended up spending half our time just relaxing at the cabin…the hot tub was wonderful for relaxation, the kitchen well appointed and all the beds were so comfy - even our picky tweens loved the lower level to have their own space away from mom and dad.Highly recommend for families!

Thank you for posting that beautiful photo! We are lucky to have Paul, he does an amazing job. Thank you so much for staying with Carolina Mountain Vacation Homes!
Although the cabin itself is a bit outdated, they are doing their best to keep it up to date with brand new appliances. The location is everything to this place and we enjoyed the short drive to the Smoky Mountains as well as beautiful hikes on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Bonus were the donkeys! Beautiful and kind creatures who made us feel welcome by greeting us joyfully every day we would pass them!

My husband, son, and myself stayed at the property for our annual Christmas getaway and not only was the house perfect and very accommodating, the checkin process was very smooth! The beds were very comfortable and loved chilling in the jacuzzi or playing a few games of pool. I would 100% recommend this place to stay at!

Thank you for staying with Carolina Mountain Vacation Homes, Aaron! It was a pleasure having you :)
This was a beautiful home complete with everything you'd ever need for a wonderful family vacation. The kitchen had every gadget needed to cook at home, including an outside grill. Plenty of space in all the rooms to spread out or gather together for meals. Recommendations for activities were much appreciated!

Thank you for staying with us at Carolina Mountain Vacation Homes! We hope you'll come back.
Now that I have been to the mountains I can tell it is quite an experience to live and everyone should at least try it once. In fact, one of the things that make your experience such a good one is the place you stay, and this cabin does an excellent job in welcoming you. It has everything you need and it perfectly furnished for comfort!

Thank you for staying with Carolina Mountain vacation Homes, Russ! We apologize about the small stain on the corner of the sheet. To all future guests: If you check-in and notice something please let us know immediately and we will take care of it. Paul is on-call 24/7 :)
We loved the area because the neighbors weren't too close and the house felt private but it was a close drive to lots of activities. We enjoyed this vacation so much because we were able to spend it outdoors with the kids and they had so much fun. No one was on devices or electronics except down time at night ;) We made a lot of great memories on this trip!!!! We'd love to come back!
