Wake up to mountain views, sip your coffee on the covered porch, spend the day exploring Bryson City, Cherokee, or tubing the Tuckasegee River, then come home to soak in the hot tub beneath a sky full of stars.

Welcome to SunnySide Up, a cozy mountain retreat designed for couples, friends, and families looking to slow down, reconnect, and make lasting memories. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, attending a wedding, trying your luck at Harrah's Cherokee Casino, or simply escaping everyday life, you'll find everything you need right here.

Built in 2023, SunnySide Up combines the charm of a mountain cabin with the comforts of home. Our guests often tell us it's even better than they expected, and we can't wait for you to experience it for yourself.

🛏 Two Private King Suites

One of the things that makes SunnySide Up unique is that both bedrooms feature comfortable king beds with private en-suite bathrooms, making it perfect for two couples, friends traveling together, or parents who appreciate a little extra privacy.

Each suite includes:
• King bed
• Smart TV (bring your streaming passwords)
• Spacious private bathroom with large shower
• Hair dryer
• Fresh linens and towels

🍳 A Kitchen You'll Actually Enjoy Cooking In

We believe vacation kitchens should be more than a few random pots and dull knives.

That's why you'll find:

✔ Full-size appliances

✔ Dual Flex coffee maker (drip or K-Cups)

✔ Quality cookware

✔ Sharp knives

✔ Cooking utensils

✔ Dishes, glasses and serving pieces

✔ Starter coffee

✔ Basic spices and cooking essentials

Whether you're preparing breakfast before heading out or grilling steaks after a day of adventure, we've tried to think of everything.

🌅 The Porch You'll Never Want to Leave

This is where memories are made.

Start your mornings with coffee while the mountains wake up around you.

Spend the afternoon reading in a rocking chair.

End the evening with dinner outside, a soak in the hot tub, and conversations that last long after the stars come out.

You'll also enjoy:

• Large covered porch

• Mountain views

• Four-person hot tub

• Gas grill

• Fire pit with Adirondack chairs

• Marshmallow roasting sticks

A few starter pieces of firewood are provided, with additional bundles available nearby.

🐾 Dogs Are Family Too

We know vacations are better when your best friend comes along.

SunnySide Up welcomes dogs! Please be sure to select the pet option when booking so the pet fee is included. We also ask that dogs be kenneled if left alone in the cabin.

Hosted by Owners Who Care

When you stay with us, you're not booking with a large management company.

Hi! We're Chuck & Sandy.

We've been welcoming guests to the Smokies since 2018, and we genuinely love helping people discover this beautiful corner of North Carolina.

Need a restaurant recommendation

Looking for an easy waterfall hike

Want to know where the locals go

Just ask.

We're always happy to help.

Many of our guests return year after year, and nothing makes us happier than becoming part of their family traditions.

The Boring Stuff (We Tried to Make It Less Boring)

Mountain Roads

You're coming to the Smoky Mountains, so yes...there are mountains! The last stretch includes one gravel hill. It's well maintained, and most guests have no trouble in a standard vehicle. We regularly drive it in a Hyundai Sonata. Just keep a steady speed (around 10 mph), and you'll do great. We recommend arriving before dark if it's your first visit.

Bringing Your Pup

Dogs are welcome! 🐾

Please be sure to include them when booking so the pet fee is added correctly. We ask that dogs be kenneled if left alone in the cabin.

(Dogs only. Sorry...our insurance company isn't ready for vacationing llamas.)

What We Provide

We stock the cabin with many of the things you'll need:

✔ Hand soap

✔ Dish soap

✔ Starter laundry supplies

✔ A few coffee pods

✔ Basic spices

✔ Fresh linens & towels

✔ Hair dryer

You'll want to bring shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and any personal items.

Fire Pit

We'll provide a few starter pieces of firewood to get things going. Need more Every nearby grocery store and gas station carries bundles.

Marshmallow roasting sticks are waiting for you!

👶 Little Travelers

Pack 'n Play and high chair available upon request. Just let us know before you arrive.

Smoke-Free Cabin

Smoking or vaping inside the cabin isn't permitted. Ashtrays are available outside on the porch. This is strictly enforced.

Road Noise

SunnySide Up is conveniently located just off US-74, making it easy to get to all the area's attractions. While you'll occasionally hear traffic when you're outside, the surrounding trees provide privacy, and most guests feel the convenience is well worth it.

Winter Weather

Mountain weather can change quickly. Please keep an eye on the forecast before traveling. Because weather is beyond anyone's control, we strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance if winter travel is planned.

We can't wait to welcome you to SunnySide Up.

Unwind. Recharge. Repeat.

    If I could rate this cabin 10 stars, I would! This was our first Christmas experience trip with our 6-year-old son and two dogs, and we stayed the weekend before Christmas. Our main purpose for the trip was the Polar Express Train Ride in Bryson City, and the cabin’s location was perfect—only about a 10-minute drive. It was super easy to get to, yet just far enough away that it still felt private and secluded.From the very beginning, Chuck and Sandy were wonderful to work with. Their communication was excellent—they provided clear directions, detailed information about the cabin, and great recommendations for groceries, dining, and things to do.When we arrived, the cabin was beautifully decorated for Christmas, both inside and out. It was absolutely adorable and made the experience feel extra special. The location was peaceful and incredibly relaxing. The hot tub was fantastic, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches like provided towels and robes.The cabin was spotless and very well maintained. Every room, including the bathrooms, was decorated for Christmas. There were plenty of board and card games for family time, and each bedroom had its own flat-screen TV. The fire pit was perfect for making s’mores and unwinding in the evenings.We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and would absolutely return!

We also loved how it was truly dog friendly with amenities for our fur child. Easy check in and check out and great communication by host. We will definitely stay again in our future trips to Bryson City.

    We were in town for a gymnastics meet hosted at the Cherokee casino and chose this cabin for our extended weekend stay. The drive to Cherokee and other surrounding towns from the cabin was a breeze. We drove a smaller car and had no issues getting up the driveway. The cabin itself was clean, spacious and overall great! The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking utensils, the beds were comfortable and there was plenty of seating on the large living room couch. My kids enjoyed the large selection of DVD’s and found it a fun challenge to only watch DVD’s and not use any streaming services (although the TV’s were fully equipped with all streaming services)The views from the back porch are just incredible!! Watching the sun rise over the top of the mountain from the hot tub was one of the highlights of my weekend. We can’t wait to book this cabin again for our next family mountain vacation!

    We absolutely loved our stay here! It was perfect for getting away and relaxing. Everything was clean and new and well decorated. The couch and bed were incredibly comfortable! The hot tub and firepit were key components in our relaxing long weekend. We were able to tuck away and reconnect with each other outside of our usually very busy lives. We rarely went out and just enjoyed the space and each other's company. It will forever be one of favorite trips and the memories it holds are so dear to us. I highly recommend for a getaway trip. The highway noise was a bit loud, but it was constant and made almost a white noise effect, so it wasn't a bother. The views you get from the front porch/fire pit area with the cabins position on the mountain compensate for it completely.

    My wife and I traveled in on Wednesday, September 25 in pouring rain for our daughters wedding that Saturday at The Parker Mill, And although the drive is straight up a hill and a little challenging, The house was beautiful & as advertised. From the 26th on ,most of you know what happened to Western Carolina, Losing Internet and phone service or something this generation is not used to ,however this house had power the entire time. It made sitting in the hot tub at night and the pouring rain a little more enjoyable. Nothing hurricane Helene gave us could take away from this house and its Beauty . we had to leave a day early, just to make sure we can get out, but would love to come back here when the weather is beautiful. Sidenote, my daughter did get married and the wedding went on just with half the Guest not able to make it
