Cabin retreat-Pet Friendly, Hot tub, Wi-Fi

KristaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We had a wonderful family weekend here and made memories to last a lifetime! The cabin is charming, cozy, and just the right size for a family of 5. I had a last minute addition and Homestead Haven Realty was exceptionally quick to respond and accommodate the change. We were really looking forward to making s’mores in the fire Pitt… unfortunately the weather would not cooperate. But, we did take advantage of the many games the host provided. I would not hesitate for a moment to book this cabin again and hope to do so in the near future!

BearclawCabin : Fireplace+King Bed +MTN VIEWS!

KimberlyRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Beautiful place. The pictures don’t do it justice. The views were amazing!!! The road is very steep (which they warned us about) but it was fine during light hours. I wouldn’t have wanted to arrive at night. The place was worth it though. Also, they were very well stocked and made it easy to cook-in. It was wonderful to be able to enjoy a peaceful getaway!

*NEW* NC Mountain Escape

SumanthRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We recently stayed at this cabin with my wife and her parents during their visit, and it was an unforgettable experience. Nestled in a serene and private location, the cabin offered front-row views of the pristine Smoky Mountains. The tranquility of the setting brought us immense peace—we truly felt like we had escaped the world. Our days were filled with bonding—playing games, cooking meals together, and simply soaking in the breathtaking surroundings. One of the highlights was enjoying an outdoor fireside dinner, surrounded by nature and the crackling warmth of the fire. If you're lucky enough to catch a clear night sky, you’re in for a real treat. Stargazing here is magical, and we even spotted a meteor streaking across the sky—it was unforgettable. If you're seeking a peaceful retreat with heavenly views and no distractions, this is the place. A few tips: bring all the groceries, drinks, and essentials you’ll need, as you’ll want to settle in and enjoy the escape.
