We really enjoyed this beautiful cabin. If you want to take a step away from your busy everyday life this is the place to stay. We loved everything about it from the hot tube to the fire pit❤️ The views are breathtaking! We have never stayed in a place so tucked away. The owners are very nice and attentive. Thank you for being a great host. We will definitely be back!

Shayla and Dan were amazing hosts, available to answer any questions I had and provided great information about the cabin once we arrived. The pictures really don’t do this cabin justice. Gorgeous views and literally everything we needed was available to us. It was the most peaceful away from everything trip we’ve ever been able to find. A absolute pleasure to wind down with only the distraction of birds and squirrels.

This is our second stay at Dan and Sheyla’s Happy Top cabin. Once in 2021 and now 2023. We enjoy the time we can disconnect and relax in the mountains. At arrival the cabin was clean and ready. Dan called via home phone to check in on us and made sure we arrived safely. Dan also made sure we had proper heat during our stay and that we were comfortable in all aspect of our stay. The cabin has 99% of all necessary equipment to make your stay with them easy. I.e pots, pans, plates, etc. Per my last advice when traveling to Happy Top - bring the food you’ll want and need for the duration of stay and you’ll be set. Nantahala outdoor Center is 40-45 mins away for a nice outdoor activity, shops and restaurants, note: Lake Ends restaurant closes for the winter season and doesn’t open back until spring so be aware of business season closures. The WiFi in the cabin is nice to have specially when checking local businesses and what to do around the area. Overall another successful stay at Happy Top. My only request is additional outdoor lighting at the fire pit area and hot tub area. Because when you’re telling scary campfire stories and start to hear things in the woods it really gets you. 😂 👻

We've stayed here once before and enjoyed it so much we decided to come back during a different season. We love the peace and quiet here and the view from the front patio is so perfect that we spent most of our time outside taking it all in. The cabin itself is perfect and has everything you could possibly need. The driveway up isn't paved, but we had no trouble driving up in my VW Golf front wheel drive. We'll definitely be staying again here in the future!

This cabin has become a new Favorite for our Mountain retreats. It was very well appointed with all the items of home and great attention to detail. Although the leaves are still on the trees; it has great views from the property. It is a close drive to some many various recreational spots which we were able to access and enjoy. We carried our two dogs and they both love the place also. I actually had an issue connected with the TV satellite, so I made a call to the owner. He answered immediately and graciously helped me through the process; problem solved. My partner and I were amazed at how clean and well kept the whole area around Nanatahalla is. Having stayed in vacation cabins across the Appalachian Mountains for over 30 years; this place is truly at the very top of the list.

I cannot say enough about this clean, quaint, cozy, everything mountain-wonderful, true log cabin. The hosts were more than welcoming and were very attentive during our stay. It was a nice touch for them to call the house phone to welcome us and also tell us goodbye, very personable and I enjoyed chatting with Dan. The cabin was perfect, the view was perfect, so many wonderful things in nature to do around you. We had no issue with the driveway and our average-sized SUV is not 4 wheel drive. It is nothing more than a narrow, dirt road leading to the most perfect cabin! You will not be let down choosing this property for your mountain getaway. Everything that you will possibly need is at your fingertips, as the hosts thought of everything! We look forward to coming back very soon! Thanks Dan and Sheyla!

I cannot say enough positive things about this rental. The cabin is cozy and comfortable. The kitchen is stocked. The bed is comfortable. The owners are friendly and easy to get ahold of. The location is the absolute best part. The cabin is secluded and quiet. We left the windows open day and night and enjoyed the mountain air and natural sounds. The views are beautiful. We barely scratched the surface on the many hiking trails nearby. We will most definitely rent this cabin again if given the opportunity!

We’ve been doing this for years. It was our 46 anniversary. By far the best cottage we’ve rented. We both enjoyed the sunrises and sunsets. Watching the birds and the squirrels and chipmunks listening to. listening to the owls. The cabin, on arrival was very very clean. You felt like you were at home as you were entered the cabin, well supplied with everything that you might need when you enjoy the campfires . Although it rained with a covered porch. it was very pleasant.we will definitely stay again .
