Wonderful location!

Vickie and Eric have put together a wonderful retreat! The thoughtfulness that went into this cabin is without peer! Having had a vacation rental ourselves, we look at everything with a critical eye. The cabin is spectacularly clean! Quality furnishings and bedding. Very well stocked kitchen. The decor fits perfectly with the home. The IR grill was used extensively. The only drawback to this cabin is that my wife and I are not there more often! Perfectly located with Dillsboro, Franklin, Bryson City, Sylva and Cherokee within easy driving distance. Plenty of fantastic places to eat as well. To top it off, we had the pleasure to meet Vickie and Eric, you will not meet a more gracious and kind couple. My final thought is that "if its not in that cabin, you dont need it". Make your reservation with confidence.

Beautiful and Clean!

I must tell you about Cozy Lil’ cabin as it was spectacular— inside and out. We stay in the mountains about twice a year and their cabin is located in a perfect spot for all things Mountain. It has to be the cleanest, best decorated, and is stocked better than any VRBO we’ve stayed in. And it was decorated for Christmas including Christmas lights and a beautifully decorated Christmas tree. Seriously, it seemed like everything was done above and beyond to make our stay as wonderful as it could possibly be (and it was). The kitchen is stocked just like home! The beds are adjustable and the mattresses are super comfortable ( in fact my girlfriend slept in the loft bed and says that will be the next mattress she purchases). Communication with Vickie was responsive and easy. Oh- and another thing- the water pressure was awesome! Thank you Vickie and Eric—we will definitely be returning!

Super clean, great communication, excellent location that felt "away from it all" but was only minutes from restaurants etc., all the amenities, welcome basket of snacks and info about local attractions. I can't say enough good things about the property and the hosts, and we hope to stay there again soon.

Cozy, comfortable cabin in a beautiful setting

We loved our stay at this cabin. The owners have made it so very cozy and welcoming - so many great details for guests like the fire pit and smore makings, brochures about the area, everything you need in the kitchen, etc. We will probably stay here again when we're in the area! Great location. This is not meant as a negative at all, but I do want to note for future guests that if you're a light sleeper, you might want to bring a white noise speaker or something because the cabin does make some creaking noises, especially if someone is staying upstairs. Just the nature of wood cabins really, but my husband is a light sleeper and needed white noise to help him sleep. Beds and living room furniture were extremely comfortable. Great front porch for enjoying the scenery and the sound of the little creek across the street. Highly recommend!

This was our first experience with renting a cabin versus a hotel stay. Vickie and Eric had everything ready at the cottage when we arrived, from a gift basket to little notes around the cabin. Very relaxing, and we wanted for nothing. Everything was clean, neat and ready. The only “down side” was having to pack up and leave the little slice of heaven that they provided. Will absolutely stay again.

Nice mountain getaway

My wife and I were very pleased with this cabin in the mountains. Loved sitting on the porch for morning coffee. Quiet area in the woods. The cabin was clean, and was as described. Beautifully appointed. We appreciated the goody basket Vickie left for us. Although we had little reason to contact her, as there were no issues, communication was great. Check-in was simple, and Vickie gave clear instructions. We appreciated suggestions she sent for things to see and do. Over all, it was a perfect getaway to the mountains for us. We would go there again.

Amazing stay!

My husband and I, along with our daughter in law's parents, booked the cabin for a long weekend to visit our children who live nearby. The cabin could not have been more perfect! We travel a lot, and this is the cleanest property I have ever stayed in. Vickie and Eric take great pride in the property and were responsive to every question. The cabin is fully stocked with everything you could need and we were greeted with a basket full of goodies when we arrived. Beds are comfortable, there's a nice fire pit, and best of all was the large front porch for everyone to hang out together. I would highly recommend, and we can't wait to come back for another visit!

About the host

Host profile image
My husband, Eric has been coming to these beautiful mountains all his life. We bought the “Cozy Lil’ Cabin” and stayed here every chance we got, visiting from our home in Maryland. We love all there is to do here, from sampling the numerous restaurants and micro breweries in the area to enjoying white water rafting, zip-lining, hiking, fly fishing and taking in the natural beauty of the Great Smoky Mtns. Some of our favorites are visiting Dry Falls, Bust your Butt Falls and Slippery Rock. We decided to build our retirement home nearby in these beautiful Smoky mountains and hope others will enjoy our “Cozy Lil’ Cabin” as much as we have.

Why they chose this property

The Lil’ Cabin has a fully covered front porch with table and chairs as well as 4 rocking chairs with views and relaxing sounds of a nearby trout stream. Lil’ Cabin is easily accessible by vehicle and has ample parking. Cabin has stairs and/or handicap ramp for ease of entry into home. Once inside, enjoy a fully equipped kitchen with an open floor concept. * We've just added a guest pantry (next to the kitchen) for your convenience.* There is Direct TV in the living room as well as both bedrooms and has a convenient stacked washer and dryer. There is a bdrm with a queen bed and full bath on 1st floor with access to kitchen and living room (for those with issues with stairs) and a loft bdrm with queen bed and full bath on the 2nd floor. *We've added a gas log fireplace in the living room.*
Enjoy a gas bar-b-que on site as well as a fire pit area that has lights that automatically come on at dark and go off automatically after a few hours (wood and fire starter provided). Relax on the large covered front porch with a cold drink (courtesy of the rustic cooler on front porch) or take in a game of “ring toss” located there. Lock boxes are located at the front as well as the back door - same combination. This cabin is quiet, comfortable and well furnished to ensure a relaxing visit. Owners are nearby and readily available to assist with any questions you may have.
