This property will be decorated for Christmas in mid to late November. No current pictures as the house was just built.

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

The cabin was beautiful, clean with everything we needed. What we didn’t know about was the road to get to the cabin. Slippery, bumpy and our tires would spin out even with traction turned off. My car barely made it and down

This cabin was centrally located to everything we wanted to do. Just a short drive to Cherokee, Bryson City, Dillsboro, and Sylva. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The hosts go above and beyond with stocking the necessities and extras to make the cabin feel like home. The bed was extremely comfortable. I slept great every night. The hot tub was wonderful after busy days hiking and exploring. This is the best VRBO rental I've ever booked and cannot say enough about it. I would absolutely stay in one of their properties again.

What a beautiful, clean and well stocked home!! Very convenient to all the places we went - Bryson City, Cherokee and Brevard. Spent so much time outdoors. The fire pit is lovely, and the porch was perfect for morning and evening meals.The hosts answered all my questions before and after booking, and they had the house ready and waiting when we arrived. We had a 55th bday yesterday, and they even left us balloons! How incredibly sweet!We would highly recommend staying here!And the restaurant attached to the Exxon one and a half mile down the road (WIZE GUYZ GRILLE). We picked up two meals from them to eat out on the porch. You can get firewood in the gas station too.
