Smooth, gentle slopes like Easy Way and Rabbit Hill, serviced by a beginner’s chairlift, gives you the novices the elbowroom they need to learn the basics and practice their skills. Intermediate skiers and snowboarders find plenty of action on Rock Island Run and Lower Omigosh, while seasoned experts can face the steepness found on Upper Omigosh. For skiers and snowboarders looking for a thrill our Cat Cage Terrain Park delivers with ramps, rails and boxes. At Cataloochee, everyone in the family, skiers and snowboarders, from novice to veteran, can carve a place of their own. http://www.cataloochee.com/

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 U.S. Forest Service property. 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 amphitheatre.

Other Activities: gem-mining, waterfalls, hiking, relaxing!

Golf: Several great mountain golf courses nearby

A Wonderful Place

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Dec 1, 2008
  • Stayed: Nov 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!"

What a treasure!
Joel, if you ever want to sell, we are interested!
What a peaceful, calming home.
This is our second time renting Mountain View Escape, and this time just the two of us.The kids stayed home.
We were there in October of 2011 and it is better!
The heating and cooling and internet was a great improvement.
We hope to rent again next year, with the kids, on our way to England/ Ireland/Scotland.
This will be a 3 week fishing trip, that we have been planning since Nov 2011 AND it has to include this home.
We love and live in Fairbanks, Alaska.....BUT Love this home!
It has to be in our trip, we only get out of the state once every year or two.

Joel, let us know when you are ready to sell.
We would continue to make it a blessing for others to enjoy.

The Perfect Mountain Escape!

  • Submitted: Nov 17, 2011
  • Stayed: Oct 2011
Our family are from this county in North Carolina. So, it was nice to visit family from such a peaceful, quiet and secluded home. The hottub was relaxing, the ping pong table provided laughter and the screen porch was meant for viewing the beauty around. Our trip was in October of 2011 and the leaves were as we remembered. Wish we could have stayed longer! Eat at the Dilliard House, just 7 miles south and our favorite restaurant when we lived here before. See Wayah Bald, 23 miles NW. Cherokee, Cades Cove and Pigeon Forge are great too.
Rent this house and you will be very pleased!!!!
We were!!

Perfect Getaway

  • Submitted: May 31, 2011
  • Stayed: May 2011
What an amazing cabin! We were looking for a quiet, comfortable, affordable place to stay that had a view. This place exceeded all of our expectations. The photos do not fully communicate how great this place is. It is close to town and attractions, yet its setting makes you feel like you are miles from anything. The view is spectacular, and the surroundings are so peaceful. We loved the screened porch to relax and read. The hot tub was a great way to wind down at the end of the day or to start a new one. The cabin provided everything we needed, and the game room was a nice bonus. The cabin has plenty of space and was very clean. I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a place to rent in this area.

Thank you to the owners for allowing us to stay in your cabin as part of our vacation. You were so helpful in answering all our questions ahead of time. It was a privilege to deal with you. If in the area in the future, I would love to stay here again!

perfect vacation

We spent 3 months in the cabin and ended up wishing we had stayed through September.

The cabin is "family friendly". The downstairs has a terrific complete
game room. We ran a continuing ping-pong tournament througout
the summer. Upstairs, our favorite spot was the porch and the hot tub.
which was located on the deck below. Loved the view of the
surrounding mountains so spent hours out there reading and
relaxing.

Cabin location is ideal. We were within 5 miles of 2 entrances
(N/S) to the Appalachian Trail. South of us, 25 minutes, was
awesome rafting on the Chattooga River. North of Franklin
near Bryson City, we took a zipping tour of the Nantahala
Gorge. Franklin, also, has an olympic size public swimming
pool that opens an hour early for lap swimming. We are "flatland"
people so spent a lot of time biking the Greenway, which runs
through Franklin.

We had a terrific summer. Our dilemma....so many fun activities,
too little time.
