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 DOG 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. DOGS ONLY

What a lovely time we had! The owners thought of everything in setting up the property. Every detail made our vacation more special. Little things, like providing firestarters for the firepit and towels for cleaning up any messes, made the whole stay more comfortable and convenient. We loved the hot tub and the adorable decor. We felt like the property was secluded and private while knowing that we had support from Chuck and Sandy if we had needed it. I highly recommend this property.

This was a lovely, well-thought-out property. It was central to everything we wanted to do, yet private making it the perfect place to relax after running and gunning all day. The driveway is, in fact, steep; but we got in and out in a VW Jetta. Just takes a little brass :) We will definitely check here first when we come back next year.

We had a wonderful stay at Twin Peaks. From start to finish everything was excellent. The hosts Chuck n Sandy provide exceptional accommodations and they are always available if you need anything. Communication is top notch. I think we have now stayed at all but one of the cabins we keep coming back because we can trust that everything will be as promised. Don’t hesitate staying at any of the properties,they are clean, the views are fantastic and the hosts provide everything you need to have a fantastic time. I find the mountains so peaceful and beautiful . It’s always nice just to sit outside on the deck and unwind and take in the view. Our two papillons loved exploring they were truly fascinated with the lizard they saw.

Beautiful, Peaceful and Just What We Needed

This cabin and the property is absolutely beautiful. Everything is just like the pictures. And it is immaculate (very important to me). Celebrating my 60th birthday I wanted something secluded and peaceful yet close to the exploring I wanted to do. My husband and I enjoyed this quality time together and our trip very much. Most of all, we enjoyed our morning coffee and our evenings after a day of adventure at the cabin and it's peaceful surroundings. I look forward to going back.

Beautiful secluded cabin

This cabin is well-stocked, very clean, and in a.good location. Be aware though the concrete drive to it is very steep and trailering to it is not an option, BUT there is a nice sized area cloae to it where you can teailer and load/unload. We tool our slingshot and Chevy Colorado to the cabin and it was fine. All amenities listed are as stated or better. We had a great time and would visit again!

What a lovely cabin

This may be the tidiest place we’ve ever stayed. It is a cute, comfortable A-frame cabin that has everything you need - including a hot tub! - for a nice and relaxing stay. We’ve stayed in a lot of VRBO properties and I believe this is the first that has a fully loaded spice rack. That and the grill and a very nice deck will give you an opportunity to make and enjoy a fine meal. We would absolutely stay here again! The very short road to the cabin is a bit rough but the cabin driveway is paved so getting your stuff in and out of the cabin will be easy. We highly recommend this home!
