Topton cabin rentals

We really enjoyed our stay at The Listening Place. It is in a great location…quiet yet convenient and close to the lake. The cabin is outfitted with the things needed to accommodate a short or long stay…just bring yourself and your food and you’re set!

This property has now become our favorite. Coming from a busy area in Florida all we wanted was peace and quiet and this quaint cabin gave us just that. Dan was the perfect host checking in on us and providing us places to eat in town and making sure we stopped at the grocery store before we drove to the cabin. The drive into the cabin was epic and the hot tub was the icing on the cake. Highly recommend. Even my teenager daughter had a great time.

Can’t say enough about the property and the owner. The cabin was just what I wanted for my girlfriend’s 40th birthday get away. You are about 15 mins from a main road. You overlook the lake and at night it is just the sound of nature. We had some issues that the owner took care of promptly and we had great communication. Probably the cleanest VRBO/home stay I have had in a very long time. So many times it seems like the cleaning fee is an excuse to get extra money but in this place you can tell it is put to use. Things to know: Verizon service was 0. The WiFi is satellite so there are restrictions on downloads and streaming. I was able to work from the cabin over VPN but Teams meetings was a bit sketchy. The cabin is 1.5miles down a dirt road which if you have a low car can take some effort. The driveway is steep and cars will need some speed to get up it but we have a Malibu and I never worried it wasn’t going to make it after the first time. I highly recommend downloading the map of the area on Google. Take your time and read the road signs don’t rely completely on GPS.

We loved the house and the location. It was beautiful, clean, and comfortable with tons of amenities. Our only complaint is the gps coordinates on Apple Maps takes you further up the drive to the second cabin. This is the first cabin to the left when you turn off the main road NOT the second cabin.

I had booked a cabin for The week after Christmas and for Newyears in Gatlinburg TN. The property owner messaged me 2 days before we were to leave that there was a problem and it had to be canceled. I was then scrambling to find a cabin in the mountains for my girlfriend and her 7 year old son and me.. I came across this as there was very little available. We got there and it was beautiful as we pulled up. Just as we wanted in the mountains. I was unloading the car and she comes out screaming there's no wifi.!! Lol. It was priceless the look on thier face. I must have over looked that part! We had no phone service, no tablets to get on, fb,social media, or cable/ Satelite.. We spent 4 nights totally off the grid as we called it. We had the best time! It was a blessing. My son never asked for his tablet, I couldn't check my work emails, or have any customers calling me. It was awesome! We built fires , made stores, looked at the beautiful stars, hiked and spent real time with each other. No worries, no deadlines to worry about. I suggest everyone do this with their family. My 7 year old said he liked it better than going to the beach. It was a pleasant surprise and we will definitely be back. Thank you for that experience !

11 of us from Florida (ages 12-71; including 5 teens) spent Thanksgiving here and really enjoyed our down time. We weren’t sure that the weather would be suitable for kayaking and canoeing but it was! We enjoyed going over to the little island and just paddling around our side of the lake. The water level is way down so it is tricky and muddy to get the boats to the water edge, but it didn’t stop us. We had plenty of room to spread out and enjoyed the fireplaces and firepit too. Kitchen has everything you need, we cooked Thanksgiving dinner here for everyone. I loved sitting on the deck with my coffee in the morning. What everyone else has said is true and explained in the listing-it’s a tricky driveway and the roads in are winding. It’s not a quick trip to town so plan your trips accordingly. We did go to the Nantahala Outdoor Center and have lunch at Riversend which was really good. We also made a trip to Ingles in Andrews for groceries. For coffee drinkers, the coffee pot is a regular drip one, so bring ground not pods. That’s always my first question. The game room was fun for the teens especially with basketball, ping pong, foozeball and air hockey. It was a lovely home and we’d love to visit again in the summer and take full advantage of the lake!

It was adventure driving the road to get there gps forget it. Printing off the directions will help . Stay left to you see lazy bear lodge then turn right, then stay left . Beautiful place.
