This home is a MUST STAY! Absolutely unbelievable, incredible experience! Steph and Mike were great hosts, and ensuredall of the details are taken care of to provide a seamless stay. The views from the house are breathtaking providing the best start and to our days exploring and hiking.
We stayed here for our anniversary weekend and it was absolutely incredible. The view from every room was honestly breathtaking. We spent our nights by the fire pit, relaxed in the hot tub, and ended up playing pool downstairs for hours. The house was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed.The host was amazing, super responsive and even offered extra amenities in case we forgot anything. We already can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend this mountain retreat!
This home is the perfect mountain retreat, complete with incredible views like I haven't experienced before! It's at the top of the mountain so we chose not to make too many trips to and from town. The house is clean, organized, and stocked with anything we could need - toiletries, kitchen items, and games/activities. We had our three kids and my parents there for a trip to Polar Express, and the home provided the perfect amount of space. The host was easy to communicate with and even provided a packet of helpful info about the house and recommendations of things to do and places to visit. It was very well-thought out, and much appreciated! I'd definitely recommend Sunset Peaks to others! :)
The place was wonderful. Beautiful and well kept interior and exterior. The views off the backporch was something magical for the family and I. Sunsets were something you did not want to miss. Clean space. Clean Bathrooms. We liked the decor. The space and seating was suited for my four person family. Game room downstairs was great and it led straight to the ground patio, firepit, and jacuzzi. Essentially private location with trees surrounding the property. Only one neighboring home and it was by no means inteferring with views or experience. We went in March so the leaves were not on the trees. And we missed the snow. We can only imagine how nice it will be during the summer and fall.The drive and climb to the cabin was fine. Starts off paved then transitions to compacted gravel. If you come from flat lands, then you'll need to get acclimated to slopes. That said, we were driving a 4 door Honda Accord hybrid and it managed just fine. If you've never driven gravel roads with switchbacks, just take your time and take the turns wide enough to see where you're going. There were signs saying it too! From the main road, it was more paved then gravel. To summarize, we loved the place and would definitely go back.

About the host
Hosted by Stephanie Shifflett
Hiking, journaling, and photography are my favorite ways to slow down and notice the beauty around me. While traveling lights me up, I find that same spark in a cozy coffee shop or small-town bakery.
Now back in Virginia's wine country, I love chasing sunsets when possible - the kind that remind you that no matter where you are, their simple beauty connects us all. I look forward to welcoming guests and sharing the same light during your stay.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this area because of its kind, welcoming people and the peaceful pace of life. Everything here feels grounded in nature, from the mountain views to the sound of birds in the morning. It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down and appreciate the simple things.
What makes this property unique
Our panoramic mountain view is so stunning that even Bryson City locals pause to admire it. The sunsets light up the entire horizon, making it a moment guests never forget.
