About this property

Private Mountain Cabin With Loft/Hot Tub/Stream and pet friendly

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.

A Hidden Piece of Heaven
This is our 3rd or 4th time staying here and we love it every time. It is a tiny cabin so make sure if this is your first time looking at this cabin that you read all the information, however dont let the little things keep you from staying here. It is our favorite place to stay at ever and we never want to leave when we stay there. Judy is very good with communicating and making the little special touches even more memorable. We always look forward to our next stay!

Amazing hide away
The cabin is exactly as it is listed. I see some posting about the size. It is small. But that is clear in the listing. Don't take stars from the owners because you can't read. It was perfect. The location was amazing. It's a 10 out of 10. We will be back. Thank you for an amazing get away. The turkeys were a special treat.

Cute and Cozy
This property is really cute and we enjoyed the fresh eggs! It was a little small (which it does say in the description) and we had some trouble finding spots for our suitcases and other paraphernalia. It was conveniently located and we didn't need a 4-wheel drive like so many properties in the area.

Our Favorite Place
We love this tiny cabin!! This is the only cabin we have stayed at more than once because we just love it and we cant wait to go back. We love the seclusion of the cabin, the creek, the land, the chickens and kitty cat, we love the towns nearby, the antique shops, the flea markets, the local restaurants and Mrs. Judy is absolutely wonderful to work with and is always great to respond. Thank you for an amazing weekend getaway for our 15 Year Anniversary and we cant wait to come back....soon!!!! Ben and Kerrie

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.

About the host

Hosted by Judy Howell

Host profile image
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.
