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. Ashtrays are provided outside on the porch. If the home smells of smoke, you may lose part or all of your damage deposit for additional cleaning & odor removal.

*****This property is located off US 74 in a curve. You will hear road noise while outside. While it is not obtrusive it is noticeable, but we think the convenient location makes up for this.

*****This is a pet friendly property, however we ask that you bring a kennel for your pet if you plan on leaving him/her alone at the house. We do charge a $45 non refundable fee for bringing your pet. If you are bringing your pet YOU MUST select the pet option at checkout. If you do not it will be taken from your damage deposit.

Delightful stay
The reason for our stay at Twin Peaks was to attend the WCU spring commencement ceremony in Cullowhee, NC. The cabin was very convenient to WCU, extremely comfortable and practically brand new. In addition, the property manager was super responsive to questions we had before heading to the cabin. Overall, we had an absolutely wonderful experience at Twin Peaks!

Great little getaway!
The house was perfect and very cozy for my wife and I with our two pups! Kitchen had everything we needed and the bed was excellent. The location is perfectly placed on a beautiful mountainside, 10 minutes from Cherokee/casino and 10 minutes from Bryson City. We will be returning for sure😁

my wife & I enjoyed the peace away from home. very cozy home with a nice view. quiet. has all of the necessities in-home. slight struggle for me personally because i chose to drive my mustang up instead of renting something that could get us up the hill better (lol) but we managed & lesson learned.😂

Cozy Cabin in Great Location
Overall the cabin was well stocked, clean, and comfortable for two. Location adjacent to Cherokee, Maggie Valley, Franklin, and the Smokies made for short commutes to big adventures. Pros- clean, affordable, great location, well stocked, comfortable king bed, easy check in, pet friendly. Cons- No closet, no blinds for picture windows, lady bugs (lots in house), driveway is crazy (other easier parking available). The Pros far out weighted any Cons and we would definitely stay there again.

We love this cabin!
Traveling with two dogs is often a struggle, and finding a place to stay that is dog friendly AND clean, adorable, and well stocked was a dream come true. If I could give six stars for communication with the hosts I would. Chuck and Sandy worked with us on a scheduling mix up (my fault) we were able to enjoy a much needed weekend getaway. Everything about our stay exceeded expectations. Thank you!
