    This short getaway for my husband and I was magnificent thanks to the beautiful cabin, peaceful surroundings and unique town in Silva. The trip up the mountain was a thrill and there are so many cool shops and bookstores in downtown Silva, it was hard to decide whether to stay in or venture out! Communication with Lisa was incredible - she was quick to reply, informative, and so warm and pleasant. We will definitely be back!

    A great place to stay to experience a “high up mountain” Log Cabin. The owner is very attentive to all the little details of this house rental which is appreciated.. There is no dishwasher or washer & dryer as part of an updated and nice kitchen but the overall value of the rental minimizes this if you are a short term house guest. If you want to experience 3600 feet up and into the mountains you will love this rental. Owner is very responsive to text messages. When you leave your stay here, you will appreciate being away from it all!!! (Do suggest keeping the gas barbecue new and a bigger updated version such as a Weber GS2) If the outdoor fire pit is permitted in the County it would be helpful to offer a supply of logs at a reasonable cost. The pit needs new up dated chairs and the rocks fixed.

The peacefulness of the area and the great view accentuate the loveliness of the cabin. The hosts are always great and easy to communicate with.

    A top notch mountain cabin! The owner has thought of everything and organized it all beautifully. The almost 2 mile curvy mountain road had my flat lander husband in dismay at first but the road is very well maintained and is worth the drive up to this cabin! Comfy beds. Cozy living room with electric fireplace. Lots of good seating on the porch. Highly recommend this mountain get-away!

    Where do I begin? The cabin from the outside looks fantastic but wait until you get inside. As you enter the kitchen, you will find everything you need to have a nice, cozy dinner at the cabin. All of the cabinets are clearly labeled to find pots, utensils, Al foil, wine glasses, wine bottle opener, coffee cups and more! For the coffee drinkers, there is a Keurig with pods (or bring your own) and 12 cup coffee maker. This is a well-stocked kitchen. You do not have to bring anything. Stop by the Food Lion for any groceries before heading up to the cabin. If the living room is a bit cool, start the electric fireplace to warm up. There are two bedrooms, one king and queen. The beds are very comfortable, and the room is very dark for a great night's sleep. The front porch is awesome! If you are an early riser you can watch the sun come up over the smoky mountains, just gorgeous. You may see a trough below the porch. That is for the resident Tom turkey that stops by for breakfast. Cracked corn is provided in the freezer for the cabin's feathered guest's breakfast. Afterward, watch the chipmunk work away at gathering food. In the evening, start a fire in the fire pit and make some s'mores, yum. This was a very relaxing vacation and Lisa and Chuck Ware are fantastic! Thank you for sharing this beautiful cabin in the woods of the smoky mountains. It was wonderful. In conclusion, we loved our visit and will come back again. We highly recommend staying here.

    After driving up the mountain (which I don't want to even think about having to do after dark), we arrived at the rustic log cabin. It was situated perfectly with a beautiful view from the porch as well as the master bedroom king size bed. All the furniture was very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. Host Lisa was very helpful and provided us information in a timely manner. I would recommend this cabin to anyone wanting to connect with nature and disconnect from everything else.

    A beautifully rustic cabin, a large porch with rocking chairs, a fabulous view of the mountains, rope lighting on the porch at night, a firepit with a supply of wood, a grill and a picnic table. A large number of TV channels and DVDs, an electric fireplace with many choices for flame colors, a Keurig coffee maker plus a regular coffee maker, a microwave, an air fryer, a good sized stove, even a large supply of popcorn for popping in the refrigerator/freezer, and all the dishes, utensils, and spices you might need. Comfortable beds and AC or heat as needed. All in all a wonderful place to stay! We suggest you make a reservation. You won't be disappointed. Mark & Esther

    This was a beautiful location to relax for a weekend. The cabin itself is charming, offering anything you might need or want, and many items we didn’t think to bring with us. The hosts are welcoming and easy to communicate with throughout the entire stay, from registering and check-in, to conversation during our stay and follow-up as we left. Loved the natural setting including the view from the front porch, the multitude of hummingbird visits, the butterflies, chipmunks, and the turkey feeding at the trough(feed provided). We would definitely come back or recommend to our friends when traveling in that area. While the road up to the cabin is nerve-racking the first time, the location was convenient to visit Cherokee and the surrounding activities and we traveled up and down everyday.
