There is plenty to entertain the kids downstairs with ping-pong, foosball, darts, and games. Outdoors, you can relax in the spa or if you are more adventurous, try hiking up to the top of the ridge behind the cabin where the property borders the USFS. Don't be surprised by the wildlife you may encounter, such as the wild turkey, deer and fox. Looking for something to do in the area? How about white water rafting on one of three nearby rivers, do a little gem mining, golfing in the mountains is awesome, or take a scenic train ride through a mountain gorge? Perhaps get a map, explore a little and go on a self-guided waterfall tour. Or why not spend a lazy afternoon on an inner tube floating down the Little Tennessee River, or for a wild inner tube ride, try the shoals of Deep Creek in nearby Bryson City? Visit the Cherokee Indian Reservation and experience a moving performance of 'Unto These Hills, performed live in their outdoor ampitheatre.

A Wonderful Place

John's Family Tallahassee, FL, USA
Review Submitted: December 1, 2008 Date of Stay: November 2008
Are you interested in a clean, spacious (seems larger than it is), isolated cabin in the woods? Would you like to get away from it all, have plenty to do and see, and not spend your life savings in the process?

Our 12-year-old played ping-pong, foosball, climbed the mountain and stayed thouroughly entertained downstairs with movies etc while “Mom” and I just relaxed on the screened porch upstairs. A gorgeous view, casual comfortable décor, and enough variety in nearby areas to keep you busy for years.

Frankly, if you’re into the hoyti toyti, personal concierge, and/or where’s the party, kind of place – I think you’ll be disappointed.

On the other hand if you’re interested in getting away, feeling comfortable in your surroundings, and having everything you could reasonably need or want from a cabin in the mountains – may we recommend Mountainview Escape.

Owner's Response: "We are so glad John and his family enjoyed their stay! We have a book in our cabin full of similar comments from guests over the years and it makes us very happy to hear people find our place in the mountains as peaceful and relaxing as we do. From the other guests that have stayed, they agree it is a great retreat and place to unwind, kick back, and enjoy the mountains!"

great mt get away

Mt family vacation Gainesville , Fl
Review Submitted: October 3, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We just got back from this mountain cabin. We had a WONDERFUL time. There was plenty of room for the 6 of us and there is lots to do in the area. Waking up to the mt scenery every morning was relaxing and a great way to start your day. If you need a place to just relax and enjoy the peace and quiet there is no better place.

Loved every minute!

Mountain Momma Springfield, Missouri
Review Submitted: August 9, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We are so sad we couldn't have stayed longer at this secluded cabin. We had a slight glitch with the cleaning service, but Joel (the owner) took care of it super fast and was very professional about everything. The view is breath-taking and we loved the screened in porch. I recommend going on a full moon if you can because the mountains were even more beautiful all lit up. The cabin is very cozy and warm and we felt even more relaxed there than at home! We don't like crowds are touristy areas and this cabin fit the bill perfectly. There is a grocery store nearby and a great little restaurant called "The Mountain Man" that we recommend. Very easy access, not to mention a beautiful drive, to Bryson City and Smoky Mountain Park. The cabin has great amenities and our son loved the foosball table. I enjoyed the big picture windows looking over the mountains first thing in the morning, in the very comfy recliner, drinking my coffee. We are definitely going back as we felt we did not get to spend enough time at the cabin. We've finally found a place that we can spend more than one day at and not get tired of it. Thank you Joel and Laurie!

Owner's Response: Laurie and I are very glad to hear you had such a good time. We agree the view is energizing no matter when you see it. When people come here they understand why we call it "Mountainview Escape". Hope to see you back soon!

An Amazing Getaway!

Review Submitted: April 28, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
WOW! This cabin exceeded all of our expectations. The view was better than I imagined it from the photos. You can't see any neighbors, the house is very well kept, well equipped with essentials to cook, game room with ping pong, darts, Foosball, the deck space and jacuzzi are also amazing. During our stay we went gem mining (Mason's Mine and Sheffield, better quality stones at Mason's), horseback riding at Chunky Gals Stable through the Nantahala National Forest (20 miles outside Franklin but an amazing ride), and visited The Factory for arcade like amusement.... Everything including groceries are between 5-25 mins away, but you enjoy the drive too with the views. We ate out once at Mountain Man for bbq, but I say grocery shop, and grill out on the deck! The owner was very nice and a pleasure renting from we would recommend this cabin to everyone and definitely go back with friends next time.

Cute Cabin

sky11 Plant City, FL
Review Submitted: January 28, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
Cute Cabin! We really enjoyed our stay and plan on returning in the future. The kids loved the hot tub and ping pong table, they played downstairs most of the time. We also went snow Tubing at Scaly Mountain which was a short drive away from the cabin. If you're looking for a place to relax and get away this is the place to go.
