PLEASE READ!
Before you pack up and head to the mountains, know that when we say mountains, we really mean it! Dillsboro NC elevation starts at 1,975 feet. Think of this as your starting point. If you want to get a beautiful mountain view, you gotta climb some mountains. Mountain roads are typically gravel, steeper, narrower and curvier than you may be use to driving. This is all part of our charm. We do have one big hill to get up. It is gravel. We regularly drive a Hyundai Sonata up. While AWD vehicles make everything easier they are not required. Maintain an even speed (10mph) going up and you should have no issues.
*******No refunds will be given due to weather.*****
Items NOT provided: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, bar soap, items of a personal nature. We do supply hand soap, dish soap, and starter laundry items.
Please note this is a SMOKE FREE property. Ashtrays are provided outside on the porch. If the home smells of smoke, you may lose part or all of your damage deposit for additional cleaning & odor removal.
*****This property is located off US 74 in a curve. You will hear road noise while outside. While it is not obtrusive it is noticeable, but we think the convenient location makes up for this.
*****This is a DOG friendly property, however we ask that you bring a kennel for your pet if you plan on leaving him/her alone at the house. We do charge a $45 non refundable fee for bringing your pet. If you are bringing your pet YOU MUST select the pet option at checkout. If you do not it will be taken from your damage deposit. DOGS ONLY

Our weekend away for our anniversary was perfect. The cabin was clean and very comfortable. Really everything about it was wonderful from the coziness of the cabin to the location. We’ll definitely recommend this place to others.
We absolutely loved this cabin. It was exactly what we needed to unwind and relax. And being able to have peace of mind and bring our fur babies was a huge bonus. We will definitely book again.
Amazing stay, beautiful view, so many thoughtful perks (firestarter/lighter/wood for fire pit), towels/robes for the hot tub, etc. Great communication and the perfect setup for a birthday/engagement celebration. Would 100% come back and stay again.
It was the perfect spot for a romantic get away. Our dog loved the freedom to roam around and smell everything. We couldnt have asked for a better set up! And that bed, sucked us right in!

Thank you for the great review of Horseshoe Bend! Come back anytime!
Absolutely a wonderful location! Plenty of attention to detail in cleanliness, amenities, and decor. The deck with the hot tub and the yard with the great firepit were quite enjoyable.
Awesome stay, very nice, comfortable and quiet... Just an amazing place to get away and relax. The only problem was I wished I could've stayed longer will book again.
Loved our stay. We enjoyed the hot tub and short drive to the casino. Unfortunately we did not have time to use the fire pit but the twinkle lights around it looked super cozy!! Kitchen was well equipped & we were able to cook some meals at the house. Super secluded property tucked away perfectly. The hosts were attentive to messages & made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Will definitely be back.
Perfect Cabin Getaway — We Didn’t Want to Leave! A snow storm sent us home earlier than expected. However, our stay at this cabin was everything we hoped for and more. From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into our own private retreat. The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully stocked with all the essentials (and then some). You can tell the owners put real care into making guests feel welcome. Communication with the host was excellent throughout our stay. They were friendly, responsive, and made check‑in and check‑out effortless.We’re already talking about when we can come back. If you’re looking for a relaxing, cozy, and memorable getaway, this cabin is an absolute gem.
This cabin was just what we needed to unwind and relax. The thoughts put into each room,the porch and fire pit area made this place special! The host were quick to respond and check in/out was a breeze. Exploring the different small towns close by and seeing the elk and views were amazing!
We have stayed at Hot Cocoa for the last 2 years for our anniversary and we plan on spending many more there. We love it here!
