The cabin was great. Location made it easy for day trips. It was truly a home away from home for our trip. Well decorated and well stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed the fire pit and the supply of wood. Communication with host was exceptional. We will be back!

Great Place to Stay

The cabin was as advertised. Fit the needs of our 5 person family. Roomy and quiet. Host have thought of everything; DVDs, books, toys for kids. Beds/linens were very comfortable. Very convenient to Dillsboro, Cherokee and Bryson City. Would most definitely stay here again.

Nice property

Very nice property with great views. Location is easy to get to, but recommend a vehicle that isn't low to the ground, it may scrape in some spots on the way up the gravel road. Would definitely stay again.

Gorgeous Mountain Views

Great location, great views, great times. We’ve stayed at many vrbo rental cabins over the years. Some of which are a bit of a hike to get up to. This cabin was perfectly located and was not hard to get to either. There was always a little park next to creek right down the road. Which was perfect for two restless kiddos after a 12 hour road trip. The cabin was still cutely decorated for Christmas. The beds and pillows were comfy. The only thing we were little weary about was the dining chairs. They are not suitable for larger guests. Other than that- truly amazing time and amazing cabin! Thank you

Great Mountain Getaway

This is a great property for a quiet stay in the mountains! Easy access to Sylva, Cullowhee, Franklin, Byrson City, and a fun drive up the parkway to get to Gatlinburg without getting on the interstate!Property was very clean and well stocked with cooking supplies, games/movies, linens and everything! Bed was very comfortable, A/C worked well and the ceiling fans were nice for sleeping. Wi-Fi worked well and there's soaps in the showers. If you're a coffee person they have a Kurig and some coffee pods already there. If you have a type you like, just bring your own pods.Great porch view to enjoy morning coffee...feels like its just you and the mountains!Part of the road to get to the property is unpaved but it is not as bad as some posts make it sound like. As long as you don't have a compact car you should be fine! Parts are steep, but once you do it the first time you know what to expect and its really not bad.

Great cabin in the mountains!

We really enjoyed our short stay at this cabin. It was just what we were looking for. The view was amazing and the interior was cute and cozy. The drive up the mountain was a little scarier than we realized it would be but we quickly got used to it. It was a great spot to stay while exploring the area.

It’s fine

It’s a cute cabin. Porch is very nice. It was good for a work trip and not having to pay for it myself. A bit scary last mile up the mountain buts that’s a personal problem lol. It could definitely benefit from having a facelift. No tvs in the bedrooms is a big bummer for us who go to sleep with one on. Hot water runs out very quickly so make sure to time out showers between people with extra time. Master bed is hard as the floor, master shower has poor water pressure and needs new sliding doors. Water pressure in 2nd bath is good. Bring paper towels as they were not supplied and if you want better than 1/2 ply toilet paper you may want to bring your own.

Disliked: Communication
The cabin is precious and scenery beautiful but we had no way to get in touch with the property manager or owners about issues. We had no sheets for the pullout bed, it stuck and would not fold back in and the power went out for over 12 hrs. These are minor things and we made do BUT no one returned our calls. One person called back and said they no longer worked for the rental company. Very frustrating and scary. If there was a serious issue there was no way to contact anyone. The owners left a note saying don't hesitate to contact but no email or phone number to do so. My emails from VRBO left a number for the owners but that was the person who no longer worked for them.

Family around the fire

This was the perfect place to stay and spend evenings around the fire. We loved that there was enough wood provided for multiple evenings, roasting marshmallows on the provided sticks, and space for five to sit around chatting. With two bedrooms and bath, the family had what was needed for the evening. Suggestion is to have one more red chair for the firepit--assume it recently needed to be replaced and just hadn't been yet :) Thanks to you and the property manager for being quick to respond during and after the rental process.

About the host

Hosted by Brad and Brandy Middleton

Host profile image
We are just your normal couple from Charleston, SC that LOVE the mountains! Some of our interests are exploring, antique shopping, breweries, getting in and on the water, hiking, and live music. We have 3 kids, a freshman at C of C and 2 seniors in High School.

Why they chose this property

We always enjoyed trips to the NC Mountains with our kids in the Summer to get away from the heat of Charleston, SC. Hiking, shopping, breweries and anything having to do with getting on or in the water are some of our favorite things to do. We started to look for a small cabin in 2020 and came across this one and fell in love. Brandy decorated the cabin down to each little detail to make it feel like our home and yours. The location is perfect. It's located about 5 hours away from us, is "secluded" but so close to everything we love about the mountains. Also, Brad is a Realtor and the internet and connectivity is huge. When we drove up to the house and saw that we both had 4 bars of Verizon service which made it that much better to be able to work while away. We hope that you will fall in love as we did, come stay at LBC and see for yourself!

What makes this property unique

Privacy. Location. Stocked home like it was your own. Attractions nearby. Breweries and restaurants close. Great cell service and internet for working while on the road. Feeling of warmth. Shopping. Ease of finding and getting to the house.
