Excellent Cabin Stay

Jessica’s cabin was truly a home away from home. It was well stocked, super clean, and the views were amazing. The location being shortly outside of Bryson City offered good privacy yet was close enough to grocery stores, good hiking, and attractions. Jessica was super responsive and very helpful. Would definitely stay again. P.S. the driveway is a little steep but we managed to do it in a minivan.

Return to Hilltop Haven

This was our second trip to Hilltop Haven. Like our last experience at the cabin, the owners were quick to respond to any questions, friendly, and equipped the cabin for everything! Our teen’s especially enjoyed roasting s’mores by the fire pit, and the porch is perfect for relaxing, grilling, and outdoor dining. The cabin is comfortable, clean, and convenient to plenty of outdoor activities.

You won’t find a nicer cabin with more amenities

This is our second stay at this cabin. We love it, and our friends loved it, as well. It is hard to find a cabin that has three bedrooms and three full baths, plus a loft with a futon that turns into a queen. Also, it is spotless, and the decor is beautiful. Needless to say, the mountain views are totally awesome and the fire pit is tons of fun! This log cabin, has it all!

Incredible House

This house is as gorgeous as the views. The pictures you see are accurate. Everything is clean and well maintained. The sheets are soft, towels are fluffy and the beds are super comfy. It is off the beaten path but close to all the places you will want to go and see. If you are trying to decide - then the answer is YES! rent this place, you will not be disappointed. The extras provided by Jessica are so awesome. I will certainly rent Hilltop Haven again.

Beautiful place

The owners had some nice personal touches waiting for us. A bottle of wine, a welcome note, candies and device chargers in every room. The house was full stocked. The views once the storm cleared was amazing. The family room was a little tight for six adults but we made it work. Everything was perfect accept NO cell service. A little hard not to be able to talk to my kids. We really enjoyed our stay and would rent again. It's really close to town where we went to a brewery and shopping. Also close to hiking to beautiful falls.

Nice getaway

The house was very nice and clean. The only issues we had were when we checked in. There was not much information left behind on how to operate the hot tub or TV. Directions to local area places to eat, get groceries, etc would have been helpful due to the fact that the house is in a remote area. It was likely the time of year but most things in the NOC were closed. We would like to go back in the summer. Overall it was a good experience.

3 Happy Hilltop Haven Couples

While searching for a cabin that met all the requirements 3 couples were looking for, Hilltop Haven checked all the amenities we could every need during our visit. The best deal is having three bedrooms (2 Kings & 1 Queen) that includes three full bathrooms so each couple could have their our privacy. All of the rooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable too. Inside of the cabin was super clean, furniture in great shape, and plenty of quality kitchen items. The organized wrap around deck was our favorite place to sit and relax while taking in all the beautiful views! Also the fire pit and hot tub was a great place to fellowship too. The cabin is a short ride to Bryson City, NOC, and Cherokee. Overall we were very pleased with everything Hilltop Haven had to offer which made our visit a perfect vacation!!!

Amazing!

We had the best time at this cabin! The hosts really thought of every detail to make us extremely comfortable! Even down to the book explaining what was around us and details about the house was so nicely done. Everything was so thoughtful and beautiful! We went to the Polar Express and the house was about 15 min. from downtown Bryson City. It was perfect for us because we got the mountain feel while being close by to the city. We had the best time and can't wait to return!!

Beautiful place with super cute touches

Wow! My husband & I have stayed at many places and nothing compares to this. This is by far our favorite place we have stayed. The unique touches that Jessica put into this place shows how much of a great host she is. We walked into the place and I just kept saying wow every corner I took with the thoughtfulness. The cabin itself is well taken care of and beautiful. The wrap around porch is amazing and has great views. We came down for a week of motorcycle riding - the only downside is the driveway, we had to park all the bikes in the grass at the top of the hill and the driveway was rough with a truck & trailer but we made it work. Thank you, Jessica, for our great stay. Note: Make sure you check out the plate above the sink - personal touches like this mean the host pays attention.

Sunset Paradise

We are from Texas and typically beach vacation people...this was our first visit to the mountains of Western North Carolina and we cannot wait to return! Hilltop Haven was fantastic! Super clean, organized, stocked with quality kitchen items, beds were comfortable, rooms were big and not crowded, deck space was oversized and amazing and you cannot beat the SUNSETS! The cabin location is perfectly situated between NOC, Bryson City, Cherokee, Dillsboro, National Parks, trails everywhere and so much FISHING! We have boy/girl 15 year old twins and the NOC was a gold mine for family fun and adventure. You cannot go wrong with this cabin and Jessica has any and all the information you need to make your trip memorable and perfect!!!

Fantastic cabin

We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin getaway! Kitchen was well stocked with everything you needed to cook. Grill worked fine and had grill tools available. The deck is a 3 sided wrap around deck and was great for chilling in the evening. The firepit area was great as well, already having chairs down by it so you didn't have to carry any down. The lights were a nice touch around the fire pit. Having 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms really make this cabin stand out from the crowd. I'd stay again.
