PLEASE READ!!!
Before you pack up and head to the mountains, know that when we say mountains, we really mean it!
Dillsboro NC elevation starts at 1,975 feet. Think of this as your starting point. If you want to get a beautiful mountain view, you gotta climb some mountains. Mountain roads are typically gravel, steeper, narrower and curvier than you may be use to driving. This is all part of our charm.
We do have one big hill to get up. It is gravel. We regularly drive a Hyundai Sonata up. While AWD vehicles make everything easier they are not required. Maintain an even speed (10mph) going up and you should have no issues.

*******No refunds will be given due to weather.*****

Items NOT provided: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, bar soap, items of a personal nature. We do supply hand soap, dish soap, and starter laundry items.


Please note this is a SMOKE FREE property. Ashtray is provided outside on the porch. If the home smells of smoke, you may lose all or part of your damage deposit for additional cleaning and odor removal.

This is a DOG FRIENDLY property, however we ask that you bring a kennel for your pet if you plan to leave him/her alone at the house. We do charge a $45.00 non refundable fee for bringing your pet. If you are bringing your pet YOU MUST select the pet option. If you do not, you will receive an invoice for the pet fee. DOGS ONLY

My family and I had a great time staying at the cabin. We were so excited for our trip before Christmas and the cabin decorations were the cherry on top. What stood out to us was how clean, private, and comfortable the property was - exactly as advertised!

Mountain Heaven
The cabin was awesome, just as appeared on VRBO, beautifully decorated, all the things you need at your fingertips, loved the fire pit, the hot tub. Things that were needed was a better road to get up to cabin and more grass for my dog to be comfortable with, I was scared he was going to go straight down the mountain the wrong way, over all it was wonderful!

Perfect place for two couples
We had an issue with entry and the AC but the host was very responsive. It is the perfect place for two couples with a bedroom and bath on each side and living area in the middle. It is a little difficult to find and accurate directions are only available on Google Maps, NOT Waze! Very well stocked and equipped home.

OUTSTANDING STAY!
We're seasoned at VRBO type & have travelled across the US extensively, using rentals & have never encountered the level of cleanliness, responsiveness and accuracy that we did with Horseshoe Bend. The location was hands down the most centrally located (directly off of 74) and ease of access. While you do need 4WD & feel comfortable/have experience w/driving on a gravel drive with a considerable grade, compared to other rentals(grossly misrepresented, 30 minutes or more from a main road, not maintained at all), this, by comparison is a super highway. W/i minutes we were on the main highway and within 15 minutes of grocery shopping, 20 minutes of getting on the BRP or getting to Lake Fontana (be aware this is incredibly difficult to find & have views, which this place did.) We stayed here for 3 months and while there wasn't plethora of storage, & it's best for shorter stays, the owners went out of their way to accommodate any request or respond to an issue, which were few and far between. The cabin was fresh and clean, with a fully equipped kitchen and all the updates. Clearly the housekeeping staff did an excellent job both in turnover & maintenance as it always looked like we were the first to rent it. The attention to detail exceeded our expectations & past experiences. Despite their being other cabins, you can't really hear or see anyone so the peace and tranquility that's sought when the mountains call remains alive and well here.

Everything was perfect between the cabin and the location we highly recommend! LOTS of things to do around the area and we are so glad we read the guest book on previous recommendations of places to go :) We were celebrating my mothers-in-law 80th birthday and the hosts even had balloons waiting for her when we arrived!! Highly recommend and we will be back with more family!

Perfect get away!
Wanted to take a trip where my spouse could fish and my parents could hit the casino! This cabin checked all the boxes. Close to Cherokee. All on one level so it was perfect for my parents to stay in. Very clean and thoughtfully laid out. Everything I needed was right in this cabin! We even had a little campfire one evening! Will definitely stay again!

Peaceful, beautiful getaway
Our time at the property was everything we could have imagined. The views in the morning and in the evening were incredible & it was very quiet and peaceful our entire stay. We were able to get some golfing and biking in & saw plenty of sights. Our 2 dogs loved the cabin and getting to explore around the area. Chuck and Sandy were always quick to respond and very helpful throughout our stay. Will stay again in the future!!!
