PLEASE READ!!!
Before you pack up and head to the mountains, know that when we say mountains, we really mean it!
Dillsboro NC elevation starts at 1,975 feet. Think of this as your starting point. If you want to get a beautiful mountain view, you gotta climb some mountains. Mountain roads are typically gravel, steeper, narrower and curvier than you may be use to driving. This is all part of our charm.
We do have one big hill to get up. It is gravel. We regularly drive a Hyundai Sonata up. While AWD vehicles make everything easier they are not required. Maintain an even speed (10mph) going up and you should have no issues.
*******No refunds will be given due to weather.*****
Items NOT provided: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, bar soap, items of a personal nature. We do supply hand soap, dish soap, and starter laundry items.
Please note this is a SMOKE FREE property. Ashtray is provided outside on the porch. If the home smells of smoke, you may lose all or part of your damage deposit for additional cleaning and odor removal.
This is a DOG FRIENDLY property, however we ask that you bring a kennel for your pet if you plan to leave him/her alone at the house. We do charge a $45.00 non refundable fee for bringing your pet. If you are bringing your pet YOU MUST select the pet option. If you do not, you will receive an invoice for the pet fee. DOGS ONLY

We're seasoned at VRBO type & have travelled across the US extensively, using rentals & have never encountered the level of cleanliness, responsiveness and accuracy that we did with Horseshoe Bend. The location was hands down the most centrally located (directly off of 74) and ease of access. While you do need 4WD & feel comfortable/have experience w/driving on a gravel drive with a considerable grade, compared to other rentals(grossly misrepresented, 30 minutes or more from a main road, not maintained at all), this, by comparison is a super highway. W/i minutes we were on the main highway and within 15 minutes of grocery shopping, 20 minutes of getting on the BRP or getting to Lake Fontana (be aware this is incredibly difficult to find & have views, which this place did.) We stayed here for 3 months and while there wasn't plethora of storage, & it's best for shorter stays, the owners went out of their way to accommodate any request or respond to an issue, which were few and far between. The cabin was fresh and clean, with a fully equipped kitchen and all the updates. Clearly the housekeeping staff did an excellent job both in turnover & maintenance as it always looked like we were the first to rent it. The attention to detail exceeded our expectations & past experiences. Despite their being other cabins, you can't really hear or see anyone so the peace and tranquility that's sought when the mountains call remains alive and well here.

Everything was perfect between the cabin and the location we highly recommend! LOTS of things to do around the area and we are so glad we read the guest book on previous recommendations of places to go :) We were celebrating my mothers-in-law 80th birthday and the hosts even had balloons waiting for her when we arrived!! Highly recommend and we will be back with more family!

Wanted to take a trip where my spouse could fish and my parents could hit the casino! This cabin checked all the boxes. Close to Cherokee. All on one level so it was perfect for my parents to stay in. Very clean and thoughtfully laid out. Everything I needed was right in this cabin! We even had a little campfire one evening! Will definitely stay again!

Our time at the property was everything we could have imagined. The views in the morning and in the evening were incredible & it was very quiet and peaceful our entire stay. We were able to get some golfing and biking in & saw plenty of sights. Our 2 dogs loved the cabin and getting to explore around the area. Chuck and Sandy were always quick to respond and very helpful throughout our stay. Will stay again in the future!!!

In comparing this property to all the others we've stayed in this one by all means is the best. The location was magnificent. Sitting high up on the mountain we sat out on the rockers until nightfall watching the clouds form around the far mountain. The setup in this cabin was perfect for our two couples as they are identical king bedrooms with the most comfortable beds possible. Chuck and Sandy knew how to make your vacation trouble free as there is everything you needed right in place. When it was time to come indoors we just lit the fireplace and kicked back. When we travel to this area again will make sure to stay here.

From the booking of the property to the end of our visit everything was great! The cabin was absolutely perfect and they had supplied anything you could think of. The view was beautiful and very peaceful. When we walked in we will pleasantly surprised by the decor and all the Christmas decorations. I will day that it was perfect size for 2 couples but would be tight with anymore people. We visited Sylva, Bryson City, Fillsbiri and Cherokee and very short drive to each area. We will definitely stay here again. The only negative thing was the gravel road coming in because it would have been better with truck or SUV because steep in places and narrow but only negative thing I could say. Love, Love, Love it and will stay here again when we come back to ride Polar Express!!!!

This is the 2nd property of Chuck and Sandy's we've stayed in. If we could give 6 stars we would. Horshoe Bend offers privacy and peacefulness coupled with convenience. All the comforts of home with a rustic country cabin vibe and close to all the shopping and activities we come to western NC for. But the very best part for us was sitting on the huge covered porch morning and evening looking at the view! We never get tired of it. It was a delightful respite from the heat at our home in SC and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute!

Communication with Charles was great. We had minor issue with coffee maker and he immediately brought us a new one! Nice place for 2 couples to get away.

The property was exactly what I was looking for. It was close by to Harrah’s, which was where we primarily spent our time for an event there. A perfect distance away from everything. It was quiet at night too! However, the hosts also provide plenty of games/amenities to entertain yourself for the weekend at the cabin. Overall an amazing stay from my parents, partner, and myself.
The gravel road is no joke, but my little Ford Fiesta made it up okay.

We loved this cabin! It is located close to Cherokee, Bryson City, and GSMNP. We really liked that each room had a full bathroom with an awesome shower. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and the living area was nice and cozy! It has a terrific view and a steep road to the cabin, but we had no problems getting there. We were there to do a little hiking and fly fishing, and coming back to Horseshoe Bend Cabin was a great way to end our day. We also brought our dog, as it is a dog-welcoming cabin. We hope to be back soon!

We came up for the weekend for my husbands 40th birthday and had such a wonderful time. The host even left balloons out for his birthday when we arrived which was a nice surprise. The cabin was very clean and organized and the fire pit was great for a chilly evening.
It’s close enough to dillsboro for shopping and food (best bbq I’ve ever had there) and close to the casino if you’re looking to give away some money like we did.
We will defiantly be back for another weekend trip!

We go up to this area twice a year. This property is by far the best we have stayed at. Has Dish Network Smart TVs everything u need it's there. Beautiful view. Wish there was a dresser or shelf to put clothes away in but no big deal. Thank you for amazing stay and probably be back if it's available. 😀

Cabin was full of bugs, lights out in the kitchen making cooking impossible, ice maker is still not working, and no gas for gas grill. But it is a new cabin with lots of maintenance issues!
