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 River View 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

Fall Weekend trip
The property was just as described everything was ready for us upon our arrival. We had requested to check in a bit early and the hosts Chuck and Sandy were very accommodating with our request. Unfortunately due to the storm Helene we did not arrive until late. We were comfortable at the cabin it has everything anyone would need. Everything was clean and if it hadn’t been for the devastating storm that impacted so much of the area I’m confident we would have enjoyed our stay. Because the local area was so impacted i.e. cell service, internet and numerous closings we decided it best to return home. We cant wait to book our next trip. Do not hesitate to reserve any of the host’s properties they always do their best to ensure you have everything you need or want.

Wonderful place to get away
I loved the location and set up. Everything was as described and in great condition. I enjoyed the fire pit set and there was plenty of chairs and room. There are 2 grills, one gas and one charcoal so you have options. The deck was spacious and well laid out. The bed was comfortable as well as the large recliner. The kitchen area has everything you need to prepare meals. It is in a great location. Minutes from Cherokee and about an hour to pigeon forge and Gatlinburg. I would recommend staying here and will stay again when we come back.

Riverside Rendezvous
LOVED this little cabin in the woods that was perfectly located near all the best attractions the Whittier/sylva area has to offer! Quick 5-7minute drive to the Sequoyah National golf course, 10-15 minutes to the Cherokee Harrahs Casino and much more! This cabin was clean, cozy and had EVERYTHING we needed! Check in was a breeze with keypad entry. The bed and really any of the furniture was very comfortable! Beautiful view of the river and an open airy feel with the giant sliding glass doors (views without the bugs, woohoo!). Would definitely stay here again and recommend to our friends and family.

Fantastic, cozy getaway
This house is perfect for a weekend of getting away from it all. Hiking, the casino, tubing, you name it, it's all a short car ride away from this wonderful house. With a scenic view from an elegant deck, a fantastic king size bed, and groovy living room, this house is comfortable and comforting to come home to after a day out exploring. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Perfect Getaway
We had tickets to a show at the casino and decided to make a weekend of it. I booked this cozy little home, which was just minutes away from the casino. It was the absolute perfect location for our weekend. The home was well-maintained, clean, and well stocked. The host was very responsive, answered all of our questions, and made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. We were able to bring our dog and hike the local, dog friendly trails during the day. The cabin was only minutes away from Bryson City, so we were able to spend some time in the shops, and eat a nice lunch. I can’t say enough about this rental, it was excellent!

The owners were very nice and quick to respond. Beautiful cabin, very clean, well stocked, cute decor, close to Cherokee, Bryson City and Smoky Mountains National Park. Driveway is gravel so best to not have a low sitting vehicle. Definitely wouldn't recommend motorcycles. Cute little mountain side and river view.

Took a few days off for a little R&R and a Styx concert in Cherokee, this cabin provided a great location for both. We really enjoyed our stay in this clean, well-equipped VRBO. The owners provided excellent instructions concerning the cabin's amenities and were quick to respond to all our questions. We shopped in nearby Waynesville and Bryson City, had a great lunch at Everett Street Diner. This was a 5-Star experience, we returned home happy and grateful for Chuck & Sandy's hospitality.
