About this property

Nestled in the Smoky Mountains, this private cabin with loft is perfect for couples, honeymooners and folks looking to get away. The Family Cabin is located on Howells at the Moon Farm, which is a 13 acre old tobacco farm. The master bedroom has a king size bed with luxury linens and a fireplace to set a romantic mood. The loft has two twin beds, so bring the kids for a great family getaway. PS2 and games are included. The kitchen is fully stocked, and even has spices and oil to cook up a great meal. The living area has plenty of seating and a large, flat screen TV with Roku TV and free Netflix and free Wifi. Your cabin comes with a huge front porch with rockers to soak up the sounds of nature that surrounds you in the forest. The year round hot tub and fire pit will provide plenty of hours of rest and relaxation. This property is unique; although you are tucked on the side of a mountain with plenty of privacy, you are minutes from a grocery store and all the amenities the area has to offer. We are also pet friendly and have trails on the property to walk your furry friend.

The Town of Waynesville is a great place to visit in any season. Whether one is looking to explore the mountains during their mild summers, gaze at the natural splendor of fall leaf changes, or view snow covered mountains during the winter, the town offers such vacationing for any preference. With their proximity to the natural wonders of The Great Smoky Mountains National Park as well as the famous Blue Ridge Parkway, town is truly a place of recreational opportunity. Perhaps one of the town’s greatest assets is its unique and lively Main Street, featured here on this webcam. From its local restaurants and breweries serving up local options, to its diverse stores, Waynesville offers attractions and shopping for all.

Let the Family Cabin rejuvenate your tired spirit.

Perfect Winter Retreat

Our time at the cabin was a quiet winter getaway! It had more than enough room for the two of us plus our 2 year-old Labrador. The location is close enough for a day trip to either Cherokee or Asheville, plus exploring downtown Waynesville. The grounds are well kept, and the hiking area around the property is great for a quick walk with the pup. The host was always available for any questions or concerns (though we had zero issues on our trip). We will definitely be back for future excursions!

Nice little getaway

The cabin is sweet, but the hot tub made the trip special. We were disappointed in the cabin's size -- much smaller than we thought it would be, and the shower is tiny. All in all, it's the perfect place for younger folks who plan to be out hiking and exploring all day and just coming back to the cabin to sleep. No regrets.

Cozy and Quiet

We loved every moment we spent at this cute cabin. Hot tub was wonderful and kitchen had everything I needed to cook everything I wanted. The gifted eggs from the girls at the “Chick Inn” were thoughtful and delicious! We ended up having to leave early due to a family emergency, but I look forward to going back as soon as I am able. Judith was very nice, was there when we needed her and very very kind about our situation!

Perfect little cabin

The cabin was perfect for our getaway. My wife and I visit the area as often as possible to go out and explore the mountains so we don't need huge cabins with all kinds of extras. This cabin was perfect. After a long day of driving the hot tub is awesome and the bed puts you to sleep quickly and you wake well rested, ready for another mountain morning. We even had a day to sit at the cabin this time and that was great just listening to nature in the forrest right at the cabin door step. Bunch of turkeys even stopped in to say hi lol. I'd read, in other reviews, about difficulty parking and getting back out in larger vehicles. I can say that was not an issue. I drive a lifted Ram 1500 crew cab truck and had no problem accessing the cabin or turning around in the parking area. All in all it was a great cabin and experience with the owners. Would highly reccomend to the vacationing explorers like my wife and I. We are already planning our return next year for our anniversary again. Thank you again for the wonderful experience.

Wonderful place to stay

My friend and I lived staying here. The cabin was spotless. Everything was comfortable. Location was ideal. My only notes would be that be aware the drive to the cabin is a bit steep, but my miniSUV did fine; and the stairs to the loft are pretty steep, so young legs are required. I will make every effort to stay here again in the future!!

A peaceful stay close to lots of activity!

My husband, 5 year old daughter, and I stayed here for our Spring Break. It was a perfect and private location, with plenty to do around the cabin! Our daughter loved the loft and enjoyed playing around the cabin outside. We enjoyed the hot tub and the fire pit. We had everything we needed to make meals, and enjoyed watching movies together at night. There was lots of good hiking in the area, and we had a great day trip to Asheville. The town of Waynesville is fun as well. We drove up to a lookout spot on the Blue Ridge Parkway for incredible star gazing. A very restful and peaceful spot that is close to fun activities. Grocery stores are also super close. Perfect for a getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Judy Howell

John and Judy Howell were working for the government in the DC area, and got married in Maggie Valley. They fell in love with the area and began to look for property. They feel completely blessed to have found this beautiful slice of heaven, which they named Howells at the Moon Farm.

Why they chose this property

This property is so unique. It was an old farm and in the same family until early 2000. It's on 13 acres, surrounded by fields and forests, with mountain views. You will feel like you are in a private haven surrounded by nature, but you are in fact minutes away from towns, shopping and activities. It is, truly, the best of both worlds. This property has hiking trails, long range mountain views, mountain streams, and privacy.

What makes this property unique

From the front porch of the cabin, you can sit with a glass of wine or hot cup of coffee, and gaze at the mist in the woods and hear the leaves rustling. Just listen to the sounds of nature and watch the fireflies dance in the evening. You will forget how hectic life can be when everything here is so tranquil. The cabin is cozy and comfortable; it's charm and hominess is to be enjoyed by couples, partners, friends, honeymooners, or folks looking to get away. The bedroom is comfy and outfitted in soft, high-end bed linens. The king size bed is a Saatva, and completely luxurious. After a day spent hiking or shopping, you will look forward to snuggling up in your nest. The living room has games and cards, but also has Roku TV, free Netflix and wireless internet for times when you want to 'plug back in'. You will love staying here; it's like your home away from home. There are streams on the property and trails on the property , as well as our girls and rooster Henry in our chicken coop. The property will delight you and renew your spirit. Breathe in the fresh mountain air and feel yourself relax.
