Beautiful cabin but difficult road
The Cabin was beautiful, with beautiful views of the mountains. Very quiet at night to sleep. The internet reception is poor, only working when you are on the cabin's porch. Also, the garbage you create has to be disposed of in town; the renter(s) can not access the garbage bin due to wild animals in the area. (We did not witness any wild animals). The road leading up to the cabin is tough to access, and in inclement weather, I believe we would have been stuck at the cabin. A twisting turning road; that was difficult to maneuver on (looked more like a driveway) that was not listed on the rental page. We never tried the road in the dark because of no lights and the difficulty of accessing and maneuvering the road. We could not reach the property managers via phone. Even though beautiful, we will not rent it again.

Sandra, thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience. The listing does state that it is at the end of a winding road in the Great Smoky Mountains, but we are sorry if this caught you off guard. The rural location of this property is part of its charm but, unfortunately, it also means that wifi and cell service can occasionally be slow. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to host you again soon!

I surprised my gf with a weekend birthday getaway and it was great! We couldn’t get the fireplace to work but we still had a magical time! The view is nice and the hot tub was perfect, we even got some snow! Definitely worth renting this cute cabin!

Secluded mountain getaway
We loved our stay at this cozy cabin. The cabin was immaculate and the views were beautiful. The pictures represent the house very well - in fact I think it was even nicer than we expected! I would definitely suggest arriving before dark if possible as the road leading to the house is very steep and windy. The firepit was great and the hot tub was a very welcome respite after a long day of hiking. Our only minor issues were that we couldn't get the gas fireplace pilot to light and that we were unable to stream movies at night on the TV as there's no access to Netflix, Prime, etc. The WiFi is spotty but we were able to stream over our laptop. Other than that, everything was perfect and we would love to return.

6 night stay
The online listing mentioned nothing about the property .3 miles straight up a gravel/paved single driveway. Thankfully we brought our 4x4 truck as it rained for 5 days. The internet was spotty at best and we never asked management as I’m sure there’s nothing they could do. During our downtime, we had to purchase movies from the local grocery store due to the limited channels on the provided television service. Overall, we enjoyed the seclusion but these are a few of what we feel would increase a couples duration.

Hi Scott, we want all of our guests to rest easy when they stay with us, and we're sorry that you experienced some issues during your trip. The homeowner would like to share the following: - "Due to the cabin's location in the mountains of western North Carolina, there will be snakes, bees, mice, etc. - It's noted in our check-in instructions and the guest manual for guests to report any issues they may have during their stay to us immediately so that we can address and resolve the concern. We would have been glad to come out to the cabin and take care of any issues, but this guest did not report anything to us. - We also do quality checks before and after a guest's stay, and our housekeeper notifies us if there are any issues. During our check of the property before and after your visit, we didn't see any snakes near or in the cabin, and we haven't had any reports since your departure. Again, we wish you would've reached out during your stay. We always strive to provide an enjoyable experience for our guests."

Great mountain getaway
My husband and I stayed for a long weekend and had a great time! The cabin was cozy and clean. Wi-fi and cell service was spotty, but we didn't mind. The hot tub was wonderful. I do recommend bringing camp chairs for the fire pit as the stone benches weren't very comfortable. It is convenient to downtown Bryson City, Cherokee, and the white water rafting outfitters. I would definitely recommend this rental!

We enjoyed the location and the peacefulness of the cabin. It was great! Make sure you bring all of the necessary stuff for cooking and grilling. There wasn't much to work with as far as that's concerned. It was definitely a great getaway and we would have loved to spend more time there.

What an amazing getaway for the weekend. The pictures were exactly spot on to describe the house. Perfect for just me and my wife. Only downfall was the hot tub would not stay warm, probably a weak heat element. Highly recommend to others and will be back soon for another relaxing stay.

Great Cabin Experience
The location was outstanding, the views were quite beautiful, especially the sunsets over the mountain tops. Having a working Hot Tub added that much more to the experience. Aside from the crazy rough roadways, mildly confusing online directions, lack of streetlights and daunting mini craters in the gravel paved road to the cabin, my partner and I had so much fun.

Lovely Getaway for 2
The cabin was quaintly small, but perfect for just 2 people. The views were very nice, and there were tons of windows and natural light. We even spotted a deer near the house! The cabin was very clean and fresh without any smells (which is a great thing if you’re sensitive to scents and/or mold like me). The road was steep, but we managed. I wouldn’t go up there in the snow without 4-wheel drive. As they suggest, arrive before dark. Our visit was in December, and the outside temp got into the 20’s at night. The wall mounted heat/AC unit combined with the gas fireplace heated the open main room/kitchen/loft areas well enough if cranked all the way up, but left the bedroom and bathroom a bit chilly. The loft area provided a warm reading area with nice views. The kitchen was well supplied with non-stick pots and pans, basic items needed for baking, a coffee maker with filters and a can of Maxwell House coffee, sugar, salt, and pepper. There was also a blender, coffee/spice grinder, and tea kettle. They provided 2 dishwasher tabs, dish soap, 2 laundry tabs, 2 rolls of paper towels, and 2 rolls of TP, a tiny travel sized shampoo, conditioner and some small bar soaps. The hotub and grill both worked well. My only big complaint was the very very slow, sometimes nonexistent internet connection. I believe the internet was satellite based, and went out altogether when it was cloudy. There were 2 TVs with DirectTV, but there was no way to stream shows or connect to services such as Netflix. We had 1 bar of cell service with AT&T. There was a nice speaker system/radio/CD player on the mantle to that connected to my phone wirelessly to play music. Overall, a very good getaway.

Just okay
1. The neighborhood was not great. 2. No view of the mountains. 3. Bathroom curtain near shower does not cover window. The nearby cabin can see right in. 4. The Outdoor trash can was full from previous renters and had maggots. We did not bother the agents because we discovered this on July 4. We hauled off the trash except for the last day because our car was full. 5. The bed was very comfortable but the pull out was not. 6. The furniture is nice And updated as well as the appliances. It is probably time for new pots and pans. 7. This is a great place if you are an active couple who are spending a great deal of time in the outdoors. The WI-FI is slow and the cell service is poor. We contacted the agents after our stay and they never bothered to call us back.

Cute, cozy cabin!
We stayed in this cozy cabin the week of Christmas. It was the perfect size for my husband, myself and our 6 year old. It's well equipped and the interior exactly matches the photos shown here- it's adorable! Views from the porch are gorgeous! The exterior is well maintained and the grill and fire pit area are nice additions. We also enjoyed a walk to the waterfall in the "neighborhood" and loved hearing the little stream of water right outside the cabin. Several things to note: 1.) There is no way to reach local property managers (not EVOLVE) immediately or in an "emergent" situation. You are given an office number and an email address, and they respond at their earliest convenience. Given it was the week of Christmas slower response times were to be expected. 2.) The first night I contacted management (Jennifer) regarding the fireplace. The wood mantel gets hot enough to produce sap, which drips on to the table below as well as on to part of the fireplace. I was a nervous about that, as it seems that could potentially be dangerous. She said she was aware and that the property owner would be resolving the issue soon. 3.) The second evening (Dec. 23) some water started leaking from under the toilet. I reached out to Jennifer immediately via e-mail. The next morning I left a voicemail at the office and sent another e-mail. Around lunchtime I received an e-mail/text message back, notifying me that one of the managers would be coming out to the property to check it. Chester stopped by while we were out for the day and tightened the bolts. We were told to keep an eye on it and notify them if the problem persisted. The toilet kept leaking so I messaged Jennifer back on Christmas Eve. I didn't hear anything back until Thursday Dec. 26 (again, understandable due to the holiday) and was told they were hoping to get a plumber out. I never heard anything else about it. We kept a towel around it, which I had to continuously change out/wash/dry. We never received any kind of "apology" from local management regarding the inconvenience. Even though it's not their fault, empathetic customer service goes a long way. 4.) The hand towels in the kitchen are pretty dingy and could be replaced. 5.) The bathroom window by the shower needs more coverage to block out the neighboring cabin. I want to thank Ryan at EVOLVE for personally taking care of us during our trip and staying in contact with me regarding the toilet issue. His customer service was incredible!

Beautiful cabin and location. Did experience trouble with water system
The cabin is very nice and in a great location with privacy. We had a 3 night stay and didn't experience any issues until the 2nd night. Began losing water pressure and water started having a very strong sulfur smell. We were unable to get showers, so I called the number provided (Chester) and the voicemail box was full. I then emailed the address provided and decided to wait til morning to call Chester again. I was able to reach Chester and he said that it should resolve in an hour. Waited for hours with no improvement I contacted Chester again. He said he'd go check something else. This still did not improve the smell after several hours. I contacted him for a 3rd time and explained that we needed showers and even though he said the water was safe and clean we couldn't stomach the smell. He again said the problem should clear itself soon. The entire cabin had the sulfur/rotten egg smell. Very nice place to stay, but would like more follow through from the owner to resolve or check on the issue when it was going on. I was contacted once we returned home and offered a refund for the 2 nights we had the issues. Which was much appreciated for the inconvenience it we experienced.

Hi Brandi, We are happy to hear that you appreciated this beautiful cabin, but we are sorry that unfortunate plumbing issues impacted your stay. As you mentioned, the property manager reacted promptly to your situation and made several attempts to correct the problem. There are multiple homes on the same water system, and the property manager had to investigate various possibilities since the issue was only occurring in this cabin. We believe that the situation was addressed as quickly as possible, and we hope that the generous compensation provided by the homeowner made up for the inconvenience. Thank you for your review, and we hope that you keep us in kind for your future travels. Best, the Evolve Team

Perfect Mountain Getaway
My husband and I spent 3 nights at Heart of the Mountain in July and loved every minute of it. The location is great for GSMNP and Bryson City. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit each night. The road up to the cabin can be a little tricky and I was glad we didn't do it at night. Our only complaint (and it's not even a true complaint!) was there were no extra trash bags and only one extra roll of toilet paper. It would have been nice to know in advance we needed to bring some of these items with us. We would definitely stay here again!!!

Very clean and just the right size for the two of us. Our stay was short but we enjoyed the fire pit and the hot tub in the evenings. Coffee on the front deck in the mornings started our day! Would highly recommend. We've stayed at many cabins over the last 20 + years and this one definitely made our favorites list. Did I mention clean. A big deal for me!

Perfect Cabin for a Quiet Get-away.
The husband and I needed a quiet weekend in the mountains and away from all of the tourists we already deal with on a daily basis. This cabin was perfect! So nice and spacious with a great view. The hot tub felt great after a day of exploring and we were able to cook dinner in the full kitchen. Will definitely come back!

Awesome Mountain Cabin Home in WNC!
This mountain cabin is amazing and we highly recommend it! So much in a small space without feeling constricted. The furnishings and decorations are top notch - from the living and dining area, bed, kitchen accessories, appliances, etc -- you've thought of everything. Our trip was short (3 nights) so we didn't have enough time to really explore the surrounding forest area or use the hot tub, but we will definitely return when time permits. We love the location nestled up in the mountain and the close proximity to Bryson City, Nantahala, etc. This was a perfect fall getaway for my husband and I and we appreciate that you have opened your Heart of the Mountain cabin to renters!
