About this property
Your Cozy Smoky Mtn Basecamp for Adventure (and S’mores) Hot Tub,• 2 Kings
Welcome to The Toasted Marshmallow, a sweet little mountain hideaway where relaxing comes naturally and the stars really show off at night. If your idea of a perfect getaway includes soaking in a hot tub under the open sky, roasting marshmallows by the fire, and waking up to cool mountain air… congratulations. You just found your cabin.
This charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath mountain retreat is tucked peacefully into the hillside and makes the perfect place to relax after a day of adventure. Whether you're here for waterfalls, casinos, hiking trails, or simply doing absolutely nothing in a hot tub, this cabin delivers the full Smoky Mountain experience.
The Perfect Basecamp for Exploring the Smokies
One of the best things about The Toasted Marshmallow is its location. You're close to some of the most loved mountain towns and outdoor adventures in Western North Carolina.
Nearby favorites include:
• Bryson City – charming downtown shops, restaurants, the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, and tubing along the river • Cherokee – home of Harrah’s Casino, cultural attractions, elk viewing, and access to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park • Dillsboro – a quaint little town known for its artisan shops, breweries, and small-town charm • Sylva – a beautiful mountain town with great restaurants, breweries, and one of the most photographed courthouses in the region
Outdoor lovers will have plenty to keep them busy:
🏔 Waterfalls 🥾 Hiking trails 🚣 Kayaking & tubing ⛳ Golf courses 🌲 Endless mountain views and fresh air
After a day of exploring, coming back to the cabin feels like the reward.
What You’ll Love About the Cabin Two King Bedrooms
No one gets the “lesser bedroom.” Both rooms feature comfortable king-size beds, soft linens, and Smart TVs for winding down after a day of adventure.
Fully Equipped Kitchen
The large eat-in kitchen comes stocked with cookware, dishes, and utensils so you can cook as much (or as little) as you like.
Coffee lovers are covered with both a traditional coffee maker and a Keurig, plus starter coffee to get your morning started right.
Cozy Living Room
The spacious living area features a large Smart TV, Blu-ray player, and an electric fireplace that creates the perfect cozy atmosphere after a day outside.
Bathroom
One full bathroom with a shower (no tub).
Outdoor Relaxation Mode Fire Pit with Twinkle Lights
When the sun goes down, the magic starts. Gather around the fire pit under soft twinkle lights, roast marshmallows, tell stories, or just enjoy the quiet mountain night.
Hot Tub Under the Stars
The 4-person hot tub sits outside near the fire pit, right on the ground and open to the sky. No roof, no ceiling… just warm water, cool mountain air, and a sky full of stars.
We even provide robes and slippers so you can fully lean into vacation mode.
Porch with Mountain Air
Enjoy meals or morning coffee outside while soaking up the peaceful mountain setting.
Dog Friendly
Your four-legged travel companion is welcome here!
🐾 Dogs allowed with a $45 non-refundable fee
Please be sure to select the pet option during checkout.
Extra Cabin Perks
• Smart TVs in both bedrooms and the living room • Blu-ray DVD players for movie nights • All linens and towels provided • Plenty of parking • Traveling with friends or family? We have 6 other cabins nearby so everyone can stay close.
A Friendly Mountain Heads-Up
When we say mountains… we really mean mountains.
Dillsboro starts around 1,975 ft elevation, and mountain roads are often gravel, curvy, and a bit steeper than city roads. It’s all part of the charm.
There is one larger gravel hill on the way to the cabin. We regularly drive a Hyundai Sonata up it without issue. Just keep a steady 10 mph pace going up and you should be fine. AWD can help but is not required.
If your vehicle has traction control, turning it off while climbing can help.

✨ In short: Adventure all day in Bryson City, Cherokee, Dillsboro, and Sylva… then come home to a bubbling hot tub, a glowing fire pit, and the quiet magic of the Smoky Mountains.
The Toasted Marshmallow is the kind of place guests book once… and start planning their return before they leave.

The Toasted Marshmallow was great as always! We’ve stayed in this and other cabins several times and are never disappointed! The cabin is always super clean and stocked with everything (and more) you need for a perfect stay! The views are spectacular!
Lovely cabin with gorgeous views. This cabin was full of all the amenities you need for your stay, there are so many quaint little details that make this place really special, and it was clean; just as pictured. We especially loved the hot tub and sitting on the porch in the morning taking in the views! Plus the host was great! They provided detailed instructions and were very responsive. Would definitely book again. Thank you!

Our favorite place
We love this cabin we have stayed here several times. Cozy warm clean and always inviting. We love the patio off the bedroom and living room and the stars in the sky while in the hot tub
This was the perfect spot with a great view! You felt secluded yet close to everything! It had everything we needed for our 2 kids. The hot tub was a huge hit for my 3 year old. The hosts were super attentive and gave great recommendations. I would definitely stay here again!

Thank you for the great review. We are thrilled everyone enjoyed their time at Toasted Marshmallow, Come back anytime!
The Hot tub temp was too low when we got there. Starting at 88 degrees it was not ready till the next day of our short stay. Having no bathroom soap is pretty much unforgivable. Having no wine opener was a bummer. The bed in the bedroom with the sliding glass door is not the most comfortable we've come across at a VRBO.

We are sorry that the hot tub was not up to temp when you checked in. We had it cleaned and sanitized later in the day then we had hoped. We do apologize for that. We do not advertise that we supply body soap or other items of a personal nature and we specify those items in our listing info. We do supply a lot of items (hand soap, dish soap, marshmallow sticks, firestarter, laundry supplies, extra paper towels and toilet paper) If we had know the wine opener was missing we would have had one dropped off. We have guests who break or take items home with them on occasion and don't always tell us. A quick text or call would have easily fixed that. We try to pick a mattress firmness that will appeal to the masses but sometimes it just doesn't work for a person. We hope you otherwise enjoyed the area.
Love the location, though the drive to get up there would be much better handled by an SUV than our hybrid sedan. Centrally located to a lot of the little towns and activities, we did the Scenic Railway ride and white water rafting out of Bryson City, gem mining in Cherokee, and relaxed in the hot tub, made a campfire and cooked s'mores, and played games at the cabin. Very comfortable, perfect for two people and the WiFi was actually pretty good for streaming our favorite show.
Cute little house with everything you'd need to get away for a few days. The view is beautiful, not far from Cherokee and Sylva. Just the right size for our 2 dogs and our son. No complaints would recommend for sure.
Great vacation time, super clean cabin, great location, that’s what we wanted, host of the property- super directions and was replying right away!!!!
Highly recommend this cabin!!!

We had a wonderful time the view from the cabin is amazing. It is always very peaceful there one can just sit for hours on the deck and enjoy the view. Thanks to the hosts for another wonderful stay.
