Spend your mornings sipping coffee on the deck as the sun rises over the mountains.

Picture this: someone's making pancakes in the full kitchen while the kids challenge each other to Pac-Man in the game room. Two of you are on the deck with coffee, watching the mountains emerge from morning mist. By afternoon, the teenagers have hiked to a hidden waterfall, and everyone reconvenes for a mountain sunset. That night, everyone gathers around the fire pit under stars you forgot existed. This is Tuck'd Inn — where every generation finds their own perfect mountain moment. The kind of place everyone wants to come back to next year.

Thank you for your kind review, it means a lot! :) We hope you'll come back!
Beverly went out of her way to make sure our stay was enjoyable. The house was as described with plenty of activities. Would highly recommend staying here.
This is such a beautiful property and Beverly & Michael are wonderful hosts. There is so much to do at the cabin for all ages. It is a wonderful place to relax and watch nature.
Excellent hosts! Outstanding, well-equipped cabin, everything from cutting boards to games! Everything we hoped for in a getaway and more!

Thank you for your great review, Jeff!
Unfortunately, I spoke to VRBO after communicating with you, and they stated that they cannot change the amount of stars once they are submitted by a guest (even though you meant to choose 5).
So... you will just have to come back and stay again! 😉
This property was perfect for our group of 5 adults and one teenager. The views of the mountains are incredible and the house was well stocked, comfortable, and had lots of fun activities. The hosts checked in several times to make sure our stay was going well. We loved our stay here and would return again!
We had an amazing stay!! The mountain views were absolutely stunning and the cabin had everything you could need and forgot to pack! The owners were very communicative and checked in on us every step of the way! So greatful for the family time 😊

Thank you Cathy! I am so happy that you were able to enjoy kayaking with a beautiful mountain backdrop! :)
This was our second year staying at this property as we enjoyed it so much the first time! The views from the porch are stunning and plenty of hammocks and outdoor seating to relax and enjoy the mountains. The house has a lot of fun amenities like ping pong, foosball, and other games to keep teens/younger kids entertained. The three main bedrooms are spread out on different floors allowing space and privacy for our group. The host is very warm and welcoming and checked in with us several times throughout the week to make sure all was good with our stay. This is an excellent home for a family vacation!

Thank you so much, Amanda! We’re honored you chose to stay with us again and are so glad your family enjoyed your time in the mountains! Hope to welcome you back next year! 🌄
We had a wonderful time. The owners were attentive to anything we needed and wonderful to work with. They thought of everything to keep all ages happy from ping pong to games along with a fire pit and beautiful views. It made our time there feel like a second home. Thank you!
Beverly and Michael's cabin was the perfect stay for our trip to the mountains. It completely exceeded our expectations! Stunning views, clean, well stocked and plenty of options for our families to do if we didn't want to leave the cabin. Centrally located between quaint little cities and beautiful hikes of all kinds. Beverly was a joy to interact with! We would love to stay here again in the future.

Thank you for being terrific guests, Heather! We would love to host you again in the future! :-)
What a great cabin to stay in! The view was gorgeous. The cabin was exceptional. The hosts did all they could to make our stay great. The first two days we did not venture out from the cabin due to rain, but we had plenty of board games to keep us entertained. The wrap-around porch was fantastic! I would highly recommend a stay in the cabin. Will not regret your decision to stay here.

Thank you so much, Charles! You were terrific guests!
Amazing mountain view from many places inside the house and on the deck. The owners are very responsive and put a lot of thought into making the stay memorable. Indoor/outdoor games, fire pit, swings, basketball hoop, plenty to do at the house when you're not out and about. When you are out, there is great hiking and a number of really cool mountain towns to eat, shop and adventure in. We had a blast staying at Tuck'd In.
This is the perfect getaway cabin. Beverly thought of everything and was an exceptional host. The cabin is just as described with everything from outdoor games, board games, hammocks, and beautiful scenery. It was very well stocked and very comfy and cozy. Home away from home. Highly recommend!
The property was perfect! Gorgeous views, fully stocked and super comfortable. We had the best time playing games, watching movies, and enjoying the views. Wonderful nearby towns. We drove to Waynesville to cut down our Christmas tree and enjoyed shopping and food in Highlands. Highly recommend!
The cabin was positively as represented, and more! Everything you need to entertain family and friends... and the views are beyond description. Our Hosts were clear and concise in their communications with us and checked in on us after check-in and during the stay. Love this place and plan on finding an opportunity to return.

Thank you Ralph! 💯agree about the views, they never get old!
We look forward to your return!
This property is an amazing escape. If you want to just get away and do nothing, this is the place to do it. The property is beautiful and serene. You can hang out in hammocks or swings all day, play games- indoors and out, sit by the magical firepit, and the view of the stars from the driveway are incredible. It is a great location for day hikes and a short distance to quaint towns with delicious food.
This property is hands down amazing! It’s so clean and breathtakingly beautiful. They covered all the details in making memories with your family. The waterfalls 20 min away were the best experiences ever!!! This home is a must see and such hospitable hosts!!!! We will be back over and over for sure.

Beverly was an amazing host and the house was awesome!
Beverly the host was beyond accommodating and an amazing host. The house was exactly like it’s portrayed and more. We have four kids there was so much to do a lot more than expected. The views were spectacular. Sitting on the porch in the morning drinking coffee and taking in the views was one of our favorite things to do! We had and amazing family vacation!!!
This property is the perfect isolated mountain getaway with an incredible view and excellent amenities. There were an abundance of fun games for us to play, reliable WiFi, awesome firepit with firewood provided, and comfortable beds. The driveway is VERY sharp and steep, but it is a private drive so you feel quite safe and secluded. Our host was reliably communicative giving clear instructions for check in and check out. Beware if booking over a weekend that they will expect you to haul all of your trash out with you. A bit out of the way from things to do in the area, but the mountain view paired with the birds and pretty flowers around the property make it so you don’t want to leave anyways! Highly recommend this property.

Hi Timothy,
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed the peaceful setting, beautiful views, and all the little touches like the games, firewood, and comfy beds. It sounds like you really embraced the mountain getaway experience!
The driveway is somewhat steep, but it’s fully paved, which makes it accessible for all vehicles—and many guests have shared that the drive adds to the adventure and makes arriving feel even more special.
We understand the location may feel a bit out of the way, but that’s part of what makes a mountain stay so relaxing—surrounded by nature and away from the crowds. In the mountains, a 20- to 30-minute drive to restaurants, hiking trails, or shops is pretty standard, and we make sure the location is clearly shown on the VRBO map so guests can plan ahead.
Thanks also for mentioning the trash policy. Since there’s no residential pickup in our rural area, guests drop trash and recyclables at the nearby convenience center (SRC) which is right along the route out. Because the SRC is closed on Sundays, we simply ask Sunday checkout guests to drop off what they can on Saturday.
Thank you again for recommending Tuck’d Inn! :)
Tuck’d Inn was set up so that everyone (three generations) could enjoy the beauty of the mountains with plenty to do right there on the property. The wrap around porch offered a beautiful area for outdoor meals, the rocking chairs were great for quiet moments at the beginning or ending of each day and the porch and rounds swings as well as the hammock's provided lots of fun for the kiddos. The games, corn hole and fire pit all added to the fun.
Having three separate levels for bedrooms allowed for quiet and restful sleep. The kitchen provided all that we needed for making meals. Beverly, one of the hosts was excellent at keeping in touch and getting back if we had any questions.
Hands down, this cabin was a wonderful experience and getaway!
Very clean. Beds were comfortable. The view was amazing! Not only from the porch but from inside as well. All the essentials were provided but there is a Dollar General about 10 minutes away. Even on rainy days we had plenty to do. Communication was a real plus! We were checked on at least once a day. Any questions we had were answered very quickly. Be sure to read and understand all the details provided. We highly recommend staying here.

Thank you so much for the positive review and recommendation! Having the Dollar General less than 10 minutes away IS fantastic! I'm so glad that you found our Welcome Book helpful! You and your family were a pleasure, and we look forward to hosting you again! 😊
This is by far the best cabin we have ever stayed in! The views are spectacular, the location is perfect, and the place is immaculate! Communication with the property owners is excellent, check in and check out - effortless, and the amount of activities in the cabin and out is abundant. We played basketball, ping pong, and board games, had movie nights, enjoyed the swings and the gorgeous views on both decks, visited the near by Bear Lake and Lake Glenville and enjoyed day trips to many nearby waterfalls. I highly recommend renting a boat and enjoying a ride on Lake Glenville as well as visiting the picnic area and sandy beach at the same location. Our company included children ages 3 to 16 and everyone had something fun to do and enjoyed the stay! Best part of it all - the cabin is exceptionally clean and there are no bugs :)
Do not miss your opportunity to book this place and have the best vacation!

About the host
Hosted by Beverly Garside
We are empty-nesters who have always loved the mountains and the area. We plan to move here permanently when we retire. We love sports, hiking, and just being in nature. We fell in love with this home the moment we saw it, and we envision many happy times for family and friend get-togethers here! It is TOO special not to share!
Why they chose this property
We chose this home because of the fantastic wrap-around porches, beautiful floor-to-ceiling pine wood (with the wood smell!), and COZY seclusion with amazing mountain views from multiple levels! We feel like we are in our own "Tuck'd Inn" paradise! The babbling creek and beautiful birds were an added bonus! 😊
What makes this property unique
The WRAP-AROUND porches with spectacular mountain VIEWS! Privacy! A bedroom & bathroom on every level! Made out of all wood - love the smell! Paved roads and driveway! The stone steps leading from the lower to the upper driveway! The landscaping! Multiple levels and a huge yard to "spread out"!
