Hilltop Hideaway

The driveway to the place is very narrow so use caution when coming or going. When we arrived, the parking was clearly labeled but the entrance you think you would use is not the entrance you do use so that was a bit confusing. When you walk in, there were lights on and it was very inviting. Everything we needed for our stay was provided-towels, a bundle of firewood, hand soap, movies, internet, laundry detergent, dish soap and detergent etc. The beds were super comfy except for the master on the one side; as soon as you lay down, you sink into a hole so it could use replaced. Only other downfall to this property is it could use a deep clean; there was a lot of pet hair on the floor and baseboards. Other than those few things, this property is absolutely beautiful. I loved all the little touches to make it feel like home. Our kids loved roasting marshmallows over the fire while watching a movie in the beautiful living room. There are sliding glass doors everywhere so there was beautiful views surrounding you all over. The internet was just upgraded and it worked great!! I would definitely stay here again the next time we visit the area! Thank you for having us!

Trip with the Grands

Just a weekend away with our grandkids. Just a perfect spot, size was just right for 4 people. Plus being dog friendly was the frosting on the cake.

absolutely not

the pictures of the place are great, however not what it looks like, you are 15-30 feet to TWO diff houses up there, there’s not a private place on any part of the porch bc of the two neighboring houses…good stay but not all what it looks like, i wanted it for privacy, felt like there were eyes on me from every angle all throughout the house. makes creepy scary noises at night all throughout the house as well.

Breathe taking

This location was sooooo breathtaking. We love the view of the mountains surrounding us. Plus this location is smack dab in the middle of pretty much everything. From Nantahala River to Fontana Lake to the Great Smoky Mountains. I wish we could’ve stay more longer. I will definitely recommend this cabin to family members and friends 100%.
