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.

Important Notes

• A $250 security deposit hold will be placed on your card 3 days before arrival

• Personal toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, etc.) are not provided, but starter soaps and laundry items are.
Pack and Play or High Chair available on REQUEST

✨ 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.

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!

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.

Beautiful little retreat

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.

What can I say about this cabin that hasn't already been said at least 10 times over. The drive up to the cabin from the highway is intimating the 1st time, so I suggest that you arrive during daylight hours. After that its a piece of cake or pie... The cabin is extremely well appointed with almost every detail being very well thought out. Although screens for the slider doors would be nice when the weather is cooler. The owners are extremely quick to answer questions. All in all we had a very pleasant stay with simple check in and check out procedures. Would definitely stay at any of Chucks cabins again... 10/10
