Cabin was exactly as described. Clean, cozy and well equipped kitchen with a gas fireplace inside. Fire pit outside complete with proper firewood and plenty of seating. Hot tub, picnic table, rocking chairs on the deck with a view to die for. Hostess promptly answered all our questions and made our stay phenomenal.

We stayed in this area to explore a little more of North Carolina. It turned out great. We were a few minutes from a grocery store. One day we spent time wondering around Bryson City and inter tubing in Deep creek just north of town. The following day we went fishing on White Oak Creek. Relaxing in the hot tub at the end of the day was great - watching the sunset with a view of the mountains from the tub was fantastic. Overall, a really wonderful vacation with the family.

Cozy tree house cabin in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood! Loved seeing the sunset on the deck with my husband and dog every evening. My dog enjoyed looking out the loft window. It was nice having a fenced in deck. Fantastic Mountain View’s! Can’t wait to come back again.

After visiting Gatlinburg on day 3 of our stay, I am sooo glad we stayed far away. This is much more about a getaway in the mountains. If you are looking for the touristy stuff of PF and Gatlinburg this is not for you. The drive to GSM isn’t that bad. About an hour to the major hikes. But there is so much to do in the Nantalahala Forest and the surrounding areas that are overshadowed by GSM that are just as great. Perfect location to drive the Tail of the dragon and go White water rafting. The house is nice…the pictures make it seem a bit bigger than it is, but it is the perfect size for a family of 6. Our group is all older than 16. Shelby is very responsive though we didn’t really have any issues.

My wife and I had a wonderful time during our stay in Almond N.C.. The home was well maintained and was nestled in a private wooded area. We hope to return in the near future.

Wonderful experience. The view from the deck is beautiful. This quaint house is situated perfectly between Robbinsville and Bryson City/Cherokee. Plenty of beautiful scenery while hiking, white water rafting or ziplineing. Great time overall. I highly recommend.

Loved the cabin and it’s peacefulness. Only issue was that could only get one channel on Dish die to trees blocking

This place is amazing as is Michelle, everything was clean and the house is so perfect for family and friends. Close to the action in Bryson city and Cherokee but secluded enough to have your privacy. Will definitely visit this property again!

House is located in a quiet area. Very close to Tsali and NOC. 20 mins to Ingles/Bryson City. Well stocked and very clean!

Original house was inaccessible due to ice and snow. Called owner. She was FANTASTIC. Luckily she had 2 other properties right up the way. We stayed in one the entire vaycay. Enjoyed the scenery, solitude and hospitality she afforded us.

This is a wonderful vacation property for those who want to enjoy some quiet time and get away from hustle and bustle. The only challenge of any sort is that this community is serviced by what appears to be old but maintained logging roads, but no issues were encountered either coming or going. The area itself is extremely quiet and is a few miles from the nearest store (Dollar General and a BP convenience store.) The Ingles supermarket is 8 miles away in Bryson City. The house itself has plenty of nooks and crannies, plus there's individual spaces (the living room, loft, and library) that have their own unique character. The home was clean and well appointed with linens, towels, paper products, and hand/dish soap provided. The cookware provided is very good and all appliances functioned properly. Simply a great little place to stay and get away from it all!!!

Overall great little cottage. Constructive criticism only, we had a great stay. Overall was pretty clean, realized after only a few minutes that the floor was a little dirty. White socks turned brown, no biggie. Communication let me down. If you are looking for a smallish cottage with a really neat layout, than this is a great spot for you. Isolated location is great for spending time in the outdoor space. Once again overall had a wonderful experience at the hoot 🦉.

Remote location in a hillside. Be prepared for off roading if you are on a motorcycle. The quietness is worth the trek in. Cabin was fully stocked with essential needs. Place was tidy but needed deep cleaning.

Friends for 50+ years absolutely enjoyed a wonderful and relaxing time at the Hoot Owl. Even a full day of rain was no bother since the loft area with awesome views was such a comfortable space and our go-to hangout. There isn't much "useable" yard, especially for the dogs, but there is an open space across the road for the dogs to romp and play ball. The small lake is beautiful. Unfortunately the time of year was not temperate enough to swim, but the dogs sure had a good time. Hoot Owl is a wonderful little getaway. Highly recommended!

Nos encanto, lo único el sofá cama del family estaba demasiado sucio.

Third time here. It’s a great getaway.

Enjoy our stay.Had a awesome time!!love the location and the cabin!!

This is a beautiful cabin! It was very clean and decorated nicely. We enjoyed the hot tub, the loft/sun room, and the reading nook. The kitchen was stocked well. The owner had good communication as well. Highly recommend this rental!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Hoot Owl Hideaway. We had a small issue with the fireplace gas running out but Shelby got it fixed quickly and before we left. It was really nice to have the fireplace working, great ambiance. The cabin was comfortable for us and the hot tub was really nice! Overall a lovely trip!

Hoot Owl Hideway was the perfect setting to view the fall foliage in Western Carolina. The cabin located within 15 to 30 minutes of Bryson City, Fontana, Murphy, Smokey Mountain National Park and Nantahala Outdoor Recreation Area. We found endless opportunities for hiking and sightseeing, with spectacular views of mountains and waterfalls each day. One of the highlights of the trip was renting a pontoon boat on Lake Fontana and spending the day on the water. Hoot Owl Hideway provided all the comforts of home. Beautiful secluded area. Truly enjoyed the hot tub, outdoor fire pit, and indoor gas fireplace. Bedding was very comfortable and the cabin is well decorated, clean, and fully stocked for all your needs. This is our 3rd fall trip to North Carolina to see the fall color changes. This was far and above our best trip. The lodging at the Hoot Owl Hideway was definitely a large part of the reason. Thank you some much Michelle.

We enjoyed our stay at Hoot Owl Hideway. Upon arrival, everything was as described and a very clean cabin. It was a perfect size for a couple but only a one man kitchen. Bed was comfy and we loved the hot tub. Everything was functional, no snafu’s. The deck was peaceful and secluded. The drive in is a little tricky though we managed pulling a trailer with bike. Follow directions given you and it’s the best route in. For us, this is a centralized location not far in any direction from many National Parks, beautiful waterfalls, winding mountain roads, Cherohala skyway, Blue ridge parkway, Tail of the Dragon 🐉....Supurb bike 🏍 riding...318 miles in 11 miles. I totally recommend this cabin...no issues or negatives at all. Thank you Shelby for a great place!!!
