Top Shining Rock Wilderness Hotel Reviews

Riverside Cabin with Hot Tub and firepit pet Friendly

8/10 Good

"Very spacious and clean and lots of incidentals in the kitchen (much appreciated!) Primary bed - very comfortable. We only had a few hiccups— couldn’t get in the door at first (completely my fault) contacted owner and she responded quickly. We couldn’t get the fireplace to work - tried the remote, but it didn’t work. We ended up leaving early because of that."

Cozy mountain cabin bordering national forest

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was as described and exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend this cabin. Wish it was closer to our home base."

Cold Mountain View Cabin

10/10 Excellent

"We had the best stay! It was a beautiful property and the cabin was so cozy. It was comfortable and exactly what we wanted for our honeymoon. The location was pretty central for is since we bounced around to see different things. The resident dog was an extra added perk when he was outside. He would come visit and nap a bit. He never bothered our dog. We plan to come back again for sure! We saw the host a few times and she was always a pleasure to talk to."

Cozy Log Cabin Getaway Waynesville, Smokey Mountains, Blue ridge Parkway

10/10 Excellent

"Great cabin - very clean and cozy. Host was easy to communicate with and pleasant. A perfect place to relax and unwind, but close to Waynesville, Maggie Valley, and Asheville, Blue Ridge Parkway, and more for activities and sightseeing."

Rocky Face Retreat Luxury Rental

10/10 Excellent

"We searched for months looking for a secluded property that would sleep 10-12. We first looked near Pigeon Forge and Sevierville. Those prices were outrageous for what we were looking for. I then found the Rocky Face for a much more reasonable rate. The house was perfect as long as you don't mind the last 1/2 mile. Clean, we'll maintained, and stocked with everything you need to just bring your suitcases."

Asheville Mountain Views Cabin on River - Bluehead Waters - Sleeps 6

8/10 Good

"This place is so close to being great! First of all the good. The location is fantastic. It is right on the river and surrounded by a couple of streams as well. Made for a great place to stroll or to sit and read a book in the afternoon. There is also lots of great hiking within 30 minutes. Sliding Rock is about 35 minutes from this house. Kitchen is well stocked, TVs and internet were great, and beds were comfortable. Firepit with lots of firewood on the property. Close to Waynesville, which had lots of good places to eat. House is quite spacious as well. Three bedrooms on upper floor and basically two large living areas. The bad - as the other reviewers said, the water smells like metal. REALLY smells like metal. The house provided plenty of bottled drinking water, but it was bad enough that nobody wanted to take a shower by the end of our three night stay there. I did not read the reviews enough to catch this detail before we left. Lots of cobwebs and dust - but chalked this up to it being so deep in the woods. Washer was out of order when we were there also, which was quite annoying as we had planned to have that ability when we packed for the trip. Overall a great place with tons of potential if you can get over the smell of metal in the water."

Pet-Friendly Creekside | Relax in the Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"If you want to completely relax and shut things off this is the place. Not far from great places to eat nice golf courses. The town of waynesville is a great place to vist.cant wait for my next visit."

Springdale Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second visit to Springdale and we loved every minute of it! The views are spectacular, they have the nicest staff and the food at the Rocky Face Tavern is amazing! We will definitely be back soon!"

Crazy Daisy - Fireplace, Near Blue Ridge Pkwy

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean cabin, definitely a great place to stay"
