Summary:

Dog-friendly home with WiFi, private W&D, grill, hot tub, firepit



The Space:

Nestled away within over 50 acres of woodland near golf, parks, and museums, this secluded jewel is perfect for families and groups looking to get away to the mountains. Light up the firepit, or enjoy the wide view from the private deck. Peace and quiet come easily here! Two different living areas means that everyone will have space to relax. The downstairs bedroom now includes a twin bed with a pullout trundle, as well as a mini fridge and coffee station.



The ping pong table is located downstairs as well. The semi-open full kitchen features a breakfast bar with seating for three guests and plenty of full-size appliances to help you put together delicious meals. You'll love relaxing in the private hot tub after a day of adventure, and you can also cook out on the private gas grill!



Enjoy the sounds of the creek from the back deck, surrounded by the deep quiet of the woods. THINGS TO KNOW

    Great Getaway

    I wasn’t thrilled with the road leading up to the house but once up there found the place to be exactly as described….tranquil and very comfortable. Loved the kitchen and open concept.

    Great house once you’re there.

    This house has everything you need once you get there but the getting there is the hard part. Winding, narrow unpaved mountain road. You need four wheel drive to access the portion leading to the “driveway”. Great outdoor wrap around patio and comfortable furnishings in living room and master bedroom (we only used master as it was just me and my husband). Very spacious set up for more people though. Great set up for our dogs.

    Gorgeous views and relaxing stay

    This home has amazing views. You are on top of the Mountain so yes the driveway was long and mountainous but we had no issues in our SUV. Clean and comfortable stay. Temps were so much cooler. We had an amazing tranquil stay. If looking for a place to enjoy nature and the quiet this is it.

    Awesome Visit

    The location is off the beaten path. The driveway was an adventure but that's what made it cool. The location is about 40 minutes from some of the more major hiking opportunities if that's what you're into. Great space for hanging out, cooking, and enjoying family time.

    My mother traveled with us & she’s an over the top clean freak. She commented on how clean everything was upon entering the cabin. So it was definitely clean. Loved the privacy & enjoyed the Mountain views from the hot tub. We had a great stay!

    I would not recommend this house

    Until they update the house with linen, fix the dishwasher and dryer, put some more gravel on the road up and clean the trees that can scratch your car. It was definitely not ready for us to check in, but it has potential. I'd say stay away for now until they can update some things.

    a relaxing weekend!!

    i adored staying here over the weekend!! came up and was immediately relaxed walking into this cozy home. my family and i had a fun time relaxing in the living room together playing games and watching tv. the house is super close to dillsboro, but which has amazing food and shops! i was even able to get through a couple of my books, and reading in the porch with an amazing view is something else!

    Review about my stay

    Very nice house. The pictures of the property were accurate. Our stay was very enjoyable with beautiful views. The only downfall about the house is the internet was spotty and you needed to leave the house to make a phone call. The bed in the downstairs bedroom was quite uncomfortable, but overall we would definitely go back.

    Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
    House was clean and stocked well. The hot tub was a winner for my husband. The gas grill had to be lite with a lighter or it wouldnt light. The wrap around porch was nice for the dogs with gates to each end but one had nothing so we had to make shift a barrier for our pets not to escape. The road was narrow, rain ruts and scratched up our GMC 3500 Denali pickup truck from overgrowth of shrubs not being trimmed. We left 3 days early due to weather conditions and uncertainty of the travel back down the mountain. It was TO QUIET FOR US. IT WAS A ERIE QUIET. We only saw 1 bird and one squirrel. We wont be returning.

    Private, Relaxing, Peaceful, Super Dog-friendly

    This is our first time travelling with our rescue pup (3 year old lab/pit mix) and it was amazing. The house is 100% dog friendly with a gated deck area, a nice dog run, and a large crate already set up for dogs that are crate trained. Our pup enjoyed plenty of time to run around, fetch sticks, and generally exhaust himself hiking around the property with us. Our only quibble is that the gas tanks on the grill were empty and we had been looking forward to grilling a few meals while we were there. But highly recommend this property and we hope to come back again to enjoy it.

    Wonderfully relaxing and fun

    We enjoyed our weekend getaway. Went on the great Smokey mountain railway super fun time. Shopped downtown. So many great hole in the wall places to eat. House was clean and spacious. We didn’t have issues with wifi. Able to use phones and laptop but cell service was slow. Which we expect when going to the mountains so not huge deal for us. Will definitely be back

    VERY SECLUDED!

    Your description of the driveway is not complete. You need to let folks know parts of the road (one way only) is washed out in places. If you are to come up on another vehicle someone has to back out and there are no turn around places. ONLY for people who want to get away and not leave for the weekend. I will not go back.

    Nice property.

    Nice property with amazing views. The property was clean with comfortable furnishings. The property is remote but for the privacy the drive was not bad at all( I have had a lot harder, Narrow but not steep). The only reason I don't give a 5 star is there are a couple of thing that could be updated. The TVs( they don't support all Apps, Youtube TV) and the Heating and AC. The heat worked well( not sure about the ac) But there are different types of Propane heaters and baseboard heaters in different rooms.

    Nice Visit

    The house was very roomy. We loved the privacy and the porch the best. I do want to say that the driveway is something that needs to be noted. The neighbors that live on the property line have put no trespassing signs up everywhere. These signs make you feel every uncomfortable as you drive the long, narrow driveway! With nowhere to turn around you have to keep driving no matter the level of discomfort. Just keep driving to the top. We will go back!

    We had a great time at this location. It was comfortable with many spaces to relax, a great kitchen, and very comfortable beds. We loved the hot tub - it was isolated but not covered by any tress, which was nice. It did get hot with there being no AC - but it was manageable since it was May. I don't know how it'd be in the dead of summer though. WiFi and cell service worked fine for me. The only time there was an issue was when Netflix was playing on the tv and I was trying to download a show on my iPad. But once I paused Netflix the download worked fine.
