About this property

Updated mountain view cabin with vaulted ceilings, large deck, & chef's kitchen

  • Summary:

    Rocky Top Retreat



    The Space:

    A secluded North Carolina getaway, this updated cabin overlooks stunning mountain vistas! A true focal point of the cabin is its expansive deck, furnished with rockers. HOA requires that all guests be related, otherwise no more than 4 individuals are permitted at one time.



    Inside, you'll immediately feel at home amidst the warm wood finishes, vaulted ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows. The living room is a perfect spot to cozy up for stories, stargazing sessions, and board game nights. Fully equipped for all of your cooking needs, the chef's kitchen displays granite countertops, a center island, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances. When it comes time to eat, gather around the formal dining table and indulge in all of your delicious dishes. Off the kitchen, you'll even have access to a separate laundry room.



    With five thoughtfully appointed bedrooms spread across three levels, this spacious retreat offers plenty of room and privacy for families and groups traveling together. The main-level primary suite provides a peaceful and comfortable escape, featuring elegant décor, private access to the deck, and a spacious en suite bathroom with both a walk-in shower and a large jetted soaking tub. On the lower level, you’ll find two private bedrooms, each furnished with a queen bed and its own en suite bathroom—ideal for guests who appreciate having their own space and amenities. The upper level features two additional bedrooms, each with a private bathroom. One bedroom offers two double beds, while the other is perfect for younger guests or families, with a twin-over-twin bunk bed and an additional twin trundle bed.



    Central air conditioning keeps the home comfortable throughout the seasons, while Wi-Fi and a Pack ’n Play add extra convenience for your stay.



    Nearby, all-season adventure can be found at Sapphire Valley Resort, Turtleback Falls, Gorges State Park, Old Edwards Club, and Whitewater Falls.

Rocky Top Retreat

Lovely, spacious home 2 miles into a subdivision with a private gate. Well appointed large kitchen. Two large seating areas inside plus outside covered seating. Comfortable bedrooms with private bathrooms for each. Located close to Panthertown Valley with numerous trails(waterfalls) for hiking/biking. We did not use the club facilities. We did notice as we were leaving that there is a public restaurant/lookout on property.

The view of the river was amazing and the sound was so tranquil. The hot tub was so relaxing after spending the day exploring the adorable downtown areas of Sylva and Dillsboro. There were so many amazing restaurants to choose from in such a small area!
