The cabin was perfect for our family of 7. Plenty of beds and bathrooms, nice extra amenities like smores sticks, fire pit lighters, hot tub towels. We enjoyed the fire pit and pool table every night of our stay. Not far from the grocery and downtown only about 10 minutes. Short bumpy gravel road up but no big deal, this was one of the best most memorable stays and vacations I've had with my family!

Thank you so much for choosing Sophie’s Choice Cabin and for taking the time to share your experience. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the cabin and truly appreciate your 5‑star review. The mountain roads can definitely add a bit of adventure to the trip, and we’re glad you made the most of your time here. For clarification, we provide a towel set for the cabin’s maximum occupancy, which in this case is 12 sets. The cabin also includes a washer and dryer for added convenience if guests prefer to wash towels during longer visits. The cookie sheet is stored in the oven drawer, and we’re sorry it wasn’t easy to find during your stay. We’ll look at ways to make kitchen items even easier to locate. We truly appreciate your thoughtful comments and hope the rest of your mountain getaway was relaxing and memorable. You’re always welcome back at the cabin.

Comfortable rooms, clean and comfy beds as well. Everything you need as a family with young children was provided. The kitchen is exceptionally stocked with cooking ware, and dishes including plastic ware which I did not expect to have so I had brought my own. You won't need to bring any yourself! There was a variety of cooking supplies as well, which was a pleasant surprise since we cooked just about every meal at the cabin. Do recommend bringing a large cooking pan, the one provided is very used and unappealing to cook with. We used the electric one to make our meals. The pack and play was great, as we had a fully stuffed vehicle and it saved us room while traveling knowing we didn't have to bring one. My only suggestion is to bring a baby gate to block the stairs off so littles don't play on them, once you take your eye off of one, the other will go right up! The hot tub was much needed after a very long drive. The stress and sore muscles are melted away. Everything had directions so you could correctly use items without damaging or guess. My only complaint is the property owners visited the property during our stay, we knew because there was a pile of dog waste by a bush in the front which we thought was pretty gross, and then later was confirmed they came and had replaced the hot tub cover. Renting a cabin and having people show up while you're not there made us feel like we were being watched. Other than that, the cabin was very cozy and fit our needs for our vacation.

Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed review, Jess, including your suggestions for future guests. We’re so glad to hear the cabin was comfortable, well‑stocked, and a great fit for your family. And that the hot tub was a hit! We put a lot of care into making sure guests have everything they need, so it’s wonderful to know those touches made your stay easier. We also want future guests to know that maintenance visits are rare and always handled professionally, outdoors, and with little to no disturbance to anyone’s stay. During this reservation, the hot tub cover and cornhole bags were replaced to enhance the guest experience which was a quick exterior task that took a few minutes and did not require entering the home. No dogs were brought to the property at any point, so any waste found on the grounds was unrelated to our team. If we ever do need to come to the home during a stay, we will send a message so guests are aware. Thank you again, Jess, we’re truly glad the cabin felt cozy and met your needs for a family vacation, and we appreciate you sharing both the positives and the suggestions. You’re welcome back anytime.

Hi, I’m Sue, the host behind Elevated Stays, a curated collection of mountain homes in two of the most beautiful regions in the country — Bryson City, North Carolina and Driggs, Idaho.

What started as a log cabin in NC has grown into a multi‑state portfolio of creekfront homes, mountain‑view cabins, downtown lofts, and modern alpine townhomes. I believe great stays are built on thoughtful details — cozy porches, comfortable beds, stocked kitchens, and spaces designed for gathering. Whether you’re here for adventure, relaxation, or a little of both, I’m honored to share these special corners of the Smokies and Tetons with you.

Great travel is about connection — to nature, to adventure, and to the people you’re with. Whether you’re exploring the Great Smoky Mountains, skiing at Grand Targhee or Jackson Hole, riding the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, or watching the Tetons glow at sunset, I’m honored to provide a home that elevates your experience.

Wherever the mountains call you, I’m here to welcome you home.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this cabin because of its full log build! The cabin is truly a cabin; inside & out. The seclusion it offers with long range seasonal mountain views make this home extremely enjoyable and a true feeling of getting away from it all! We just love it and are happy to share it with you!

What makes this property unique

Total peacefulness happens when you arrive at Sophie's Choice! It lives large, warm, and cozy & gives the perfect mountain feel. We named it Sophie's Choice after our daughter.
