About this property

Cozy A-frame cabin in the woods! - Hot tub, wifi, firepit, creek, hiking trail!

Are you looking for a mountain getaway that offers peace and tranquility, but is still close to all the action in the Smokies? Come stay a while at the Little Cove Cabin and find what you've been looking for!

Tucked away in a little cove in the woods, you can relax on the large front porch and watch the abundant wildlife around you or swing in the hammock in the front yard while listening to the babbling brook near by. Wild turkeys, raccoons, rabbits, foxes, coyotes, and even an occasional catamount and black bear have all been seen here!

Relax on the large front porch, or fish for rainbow and speckled trout in the bold creek just down the road. In the evenings, you can roast marshmallows at the fire pit where you can sometimes hear an old Barred Owl hooting in the trees nearby. Take a long stroll up the East Fork creek where 100+ year old farm houses, grazing horses and cattle, and rustic old barns and silos whisper the stories from a bye gone era.

Newly renovated, this romantic little A-Frame log cabin has all the modern comforts of home while maintaining the rustic nostalgia of a cozy little cabin in the woods! The cabin has a queen-sized bed in the downstairs bedroom and a second queen-sized bed in the loft bedroom. A fully equipped kitchen and separate laundry room have everything you will need for your stay. The cabin also has high speed wireless internet access throughout and a flat screen HDTV with Spectrum TV programming. Outside, there is a gas grill, dining table and plenty of seating for enjoying meals outside. Also, our 6 person hot tub is perfect for a relaxing soak after a long day of fun in the mountains. There is also a short hiking trail behind the cabin that leads to a romantic little spot to sit and relax near a mountain stream. It's also a great place to walk the dog and enjoy the wild rhododendron and mountain laurel that cover the banks along the trail.

Conveniently located only 10 minutes from the charming town of historic Dillsboro and 15-20 minutes from Sylva, Franklin, and Western Carolina University. The towns of Cherokee and Waynesville are just a 30 minute or less drive away.

If your looking for a cozy place to relax, decompress, and get back to nature, you will find everything you're looking for in the Little Cove!

*We now have FULLY PAVED road access!

Everything was exactly as advertised.. very cozy and homey. We loved the bear decoration and the location was everything. The hot tub was hot enough but personally I would have preferred it to be a bit hotter. Absolutely loved the fireplace. The only thing I wish there was a tv in every room if we would have brought the kids with us. And I wish there was a walkout porch for upstairs room. Overall it was a wonderful and memorable experience that we will forever cherish. I highly recommend this place and we will definitely be coming back with the family

Quiet getaway

My wife and I traveled to Sylva to visit our daughter and her family. We wanted to try something different, so we rented this quaint cabin on the side of a hill surrounded by a forest, thus there was quiet solitude which we greatly enjoyed. The cabin was nice and spacious. The hot tub was a nice bonus. The location is convenient to Sylva and surrounding areas. We will stay again soon!

Peaceful!

This was my 1st VRBO experience & it was exactly what I had hoped for! I wanted a pet friendly cabin in the woods, away from the hustle & bustle. It was clean, quiet, somewhat disconnected- the wifi worked fine for my phone, I never used the tv. It had all the essentials I needed, the hot tub was easy to use & next to a creek was just a cherry on top. Really enjoyed my visit here.

Loved the cabin, location and the owners were wonderful. We had a lovely time sitting in the hot tub, around the fire pit, and even along the little creek on the side for morning coffee. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely would stay again. Perfect little cabin in the woods. Thank you

About the host

Hosted by Kimberly Gray

Host profile image
My husband and I live and work in Sylva and are busy parents to our 4 children. My husband works for the phone company and I am a potter that enjoys playing in the mud all day. We feel very blessed to be able to live and raise our children in these beautiful mountains.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in my family for over 100 years. Growing up in Maryland, I have many fond childhood memories of my family's regular visits to the mountains and staying in the Little Cove. Playing in the woods and catching crawdads in the creek with my brother were some of my favorite things to do.

Originally built in the 1970's, the aging Little Cove cabin was in need of some serious TLC. As a result, my husband and I began a 2 year 'rebuild'. The result was a brand new home with the nostalgic charm of an old mountain A-Frame cabin. We are proud of the hard-work and love we've poured into this cabin and hope that many families will now make special memories of their own in the Little Cove.

What makes this property unique

Wooded, surrounded by nature and its sounds and wildlife! Private mountain stream, walking trail, firepit, hot tub, and much more!
