About this property

Mountain High - Cozy Mountain Home

Mountain High is a three-bed, two-bath cabin that accommodates up to six individuals. The two-story cabin has a paved driveway with parking for 2-3 cars, central heat and a/c, WIFi, and an outdoor gas grill on the open porch with a serene wooded view. The master bedroom on the main level houses a queen-sized bed, while the two guest bedrooms upstairs respectively house a queen-sized bed and two full-sized beds. The home is perfect for families, as the owner has stocked up on board games and DVDs, and the smart TV has ROKU and a Bluetooth soundbar.

Mountain High cabin sits perched amidst the tall maples, poplars, and oaks of the Dillsboro Villas Community, just minutes away from the historic town of Dillsboro, home to the Tuckaseegee River, where you can tube, raft, fish or kayak. Enjoy craft shops and dining, day trips, antiquing, or train rides. Rest assured that when your day is done and you're ready to relax, you can do so in relative seclusion, and still enjoy close proximity to your favorite excursions.

Great stay in fantastic location

This home was in the perfect location for us. Both Dillsboro and Sylva are beautiful little towns full of the greatest people. The team at Sundog were also so great to work with. They were quick to respond and made sure our needs were priority. We cannot wait to return in the spring or summer for more fun. Management Response: Thank you for your feedback! We would be happy to host you again!

Mountain High did not disappoint

Mountain High was a great experience. We were in town for a wedding. It was close to the venue which made it very convenient. The house was clean and had great amenities. The drive up the hill, especially the first time was a bit of a challenge, even in our 2019 Toyota Highlander. Thankfully we were given a head's up prior to arrival about the three tight switchback turns. It was a great choice for the five of us. Management Response: Thank you for your feedback! We would be happy to host you again sometime!

Cabin access could be better

The cabin itself was clean, the beds were comfortable, and was home was spacious. The front porch is in desperate need of a cleaning, there were a lot of cob webs. The road access to get to the cabin is what will keep me front renting again, it is a way lane road that is very filled with curves and a steep incline. The parking area is also very tight if more than two cars are parked there, turning a vehicle around is also difficult. Since the road is one lane and a tight fit a U-Haul truck (front another rental cabin) got stuck in front of our cabin we were unable to access the cabin until very late Thursday night.

Nice but needs some TLC

Couple things. The road up is not for the faint of heart. It’s STEEEEEEP, narrow and has several 180 deg switchbacks. It’d be tough in inclement weather, I’m glad I took it in the daylight the first trip. You need good brakes and I’d recommend against a manual transmission The deck railing is very wobbly. It needs replaced for safety. The interior needs paint badly. The sheets and beds were clean as were the bathrooms. Some dust in the corners

Gorgeous home! Issues with management

House was perfect for our needs! Drive was a bit crazy but home was 10000% with it! Directions got us there with no issue! We love this area and the house location was perfectly nestled near Cherokee, Sylva and Dillon! Our issues were with house keeping being late and sitting outside when we showed up and after a long trip the last thing our kids wanted to do was wait in the car even another hour. The washing machine leaking which was kinda a bummer as we couldn't do laundry luckily it was a short trip. And the tv missing a remote so having to shuffle the roku into the living area and losing the sound bar since there was no longer a plug for it and the fireplace wouldn't work. Kitchen had EVERYTHING you may need which was great! There was a vacuum available for any small messes which is a must with little kids.

Never Again Will We Stay Here

The rental agency didn't send the information until the day we were to check in, and didn't send it until after we had left. The directions were a PDF attachment that could not be accessed from my phone. When we inquired about a folder or notebook with the instructions in it, the response was that there wasn't one at the rental house because of COVID. If COVID is the concern , why is this place so dirty? Accessing the directions required extra effort on our part since we had to locate a computer to log in from to review the directions (which were written for multiple houses so not all applied). When we arrived.... there were dirty dishes in dishwasher from previous renter; trash in kitchen garbage can from previous renter; coffee maker still had grounds in it, dog hair and dirt/crumbs all over LR coffee table (had to clean it before playing a game). A window blind in the bedroom was broken - cord was frayed - so it wouldn't close properly. The sofa smelled like dogs. The carpet has stains in many places. The shower curtain is moldy. Dirt/grime has collected along the baseboards where they meet the carpet - it needs a good vacuum with the vacuum crevice attachment. No dining table - just a narrow bar height table that cannot seat all four of us without moving the sofa (spare stools would need to be placed in the walkway behind the sofa) so two people sat with their plates in their laps. Very odd layout. Road/driveway is super narrow and "on the edge" - it's wide enough for only one car and there is no shoulder. If you encounter another vechicle coming toward you, someone has to back up until you reach a driveway to pull in to. The road is very steep with several bends. One bend is so sharp you may have to do a 3 point turn to get around it depending on the size of your vehicle (Mini Cooper vs Ford Escape). Definitely won't be staying here again.

A place to lay your head

The rental rate for the property fits it’s condition but to pay the same amount in a cleaning fee equal to a 2 night stay is ridiculous. I did not allow my younger child on the deck because the rail is about to fall off especially if you leaned too hard, the water had a very foul odor. Unfortunately I would not rent this cabin again however it serves its purpose in proximity to the location of the family reunion

Nice Place To Stay

We really enjoyed our stay here. We were in Sylva for my brother's wedding and it was exactly what we needed. Everything was clean and orderly, and it was well stocked with towels, toiletries, etc. The driveway was a little intimidating, but overall a really nice place to stay!

Mountain High

The house is nice and clean. Wasn’t hard to find. We are used to mountain primitive roads, so we didn’t find this the dive to the house bad, it’s paved. As stated in other reviews the highway noise is disappointing. It’s not so loud that it kept us from sleeping, but it did over whelm the sounds of nature. Being nature lovers we were disappointed. We were not able to use the WiFi, the login information we were provided did not match the service. We requested assistance but it was not resolved, we were not provided a password. The agreement and instructions for check in and check out are extensive, confusing and contradictory. We were given instructions to cycle the dish washer but when we opened the door, it was full of water. We avoided using much of the house, as the cleaning instructions and potential extra fees were unsettling. We vacation in the area often, this was our least favorite place to stay, but not because of the house isn’t nice, we just didn’t feel comfortable. We didn’t feel like we got what we paid for, you pay a hefty cleaning fee but are expected to clean before you leave. Or just try not to disturb anything which is what we did. We were told no laundry service, but given instructions to wash kitchen towels. After seeing the dishwasher full of water we just didn’t use anything that you’re expected to wash in the washer so don’t know if it’s operational.

Short Weekend

The property looked exactly as described and the reviews regarding the steep drive were accurate. We could hear a lot of noise from trucks on the highway below, but not too disturbing. The property was very clean and comfortable and well suited for our family. We came to visit our WCU students and wanted a place to relax and just visit. This property offered just that and the location near Dillsboro was exactly what we wanted. The property management was extremely helpful and communicated well regarding an issues with the internet. We could never get the internet to work and therefore no television but we did manage. The only major complaint is the water. It was loaded with sulfur and produced an awful smell and taste. We did go back out and purchase more bottled water for making coffee and other things. I wish we had been made aware of this. Overall great property and experience.

Great location

We were 30 minutes from so many activities. The house was in good shape and allowed us to bring a dog. A washer and drier would be really nice to have. It has a long steep driveway, not a big deal, but expect it. Kitchen isn’t big, but has enough to make do. We had a minor plumbing maintenance issue after hours and it was handled immediately by the staff. Excellent service. I happily recommend this rental.
