Cottage rentals with a hot tub

2BR Riverfront | Hot Tub | Balcony | Firepit
We are familiar with the area so we knew exactly where the cabin was, and it was perfect. Close to town and WCU, yet right on the Tuck and peaceful. Outdoor space is excellent! Great river access right on property. Had all the basics, bathroom is tight, but the outdoor space makes it all worth it.

Creekside Cottage, 3 bed/2 bath, Hot Tub, Firepit
This home was a great value for the space. The location was a nice, remote hideaway in the mountains but still close enough to hiking trails & Cherokee. It made for a nice getaway. We also had everything we needed to cook every meal, including seasoning & cookware.

Bryson City Cottage w/ Hot Tub & Waterfall Views!
Had a great stay! Host was very helpful.

Mountain View Bryson City Home
I must say this cabin is so beautiful. Brandilynn took us on a 3 day notice and she was such a great host . Clear instructions , friendly , and very proactive . The view is beautiful and the hot tub is definitely the icing on the cake . Love the open scenery in the cabin and all the natural light . Very clean and I would 1000/10 recommend anyone to book here if you’re thinking of doing so .

3 Bedroom, 2 Bath home with mountain and lake view
Andrew was quick to respond when we reached out last minute for a short getaway and was able to accommodate a late night check in. The house was in very good condition, clean, well stocked, and full of relaxing family entertainment. The views were beautiful and the scenic area was perfect for the stress free weekend we were looking for.

Historic River Front Smoky Mountain Cottage
Great location. It is a historic home so the layout is a little weird but they did a good job of describing that. We did have an issue with the oven but they were quick to respond and did their best to rectify the issue. Other than that we loved the location. Gas stations are in walking distance. Cades cove isn’t far and neither is Gatlinburg.

Whittier Mountain Hideaway w/ Breathtaking Views
The views from the wrap around porch are breathtaking. Just wish we had been able to enjoy them longer. The inside is spacious and well appointed and very clean.

Near Hiking + Dining: Dtwn Sylva Cottage!
Our hosts were very accommodating, we arrived a little earlier than check in but they allowed us to enter anyway. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful with all our inquiries. We would definitely stay there again.

Smoky Mountain Cottage on the Cove - 6 min to WCU
I can’t express how nice this cabin is, it’s beautiful. Very nice decor and comfortable beds & furniture. The upstairs loft is so cozy! The deck was spacious and well maintained, the views of the mountains from the covered porch were pretty. Parking is easygoing, no steep driveway. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming! This cabin is not far from the main highway, makes travel easy to navigate the area and explore. The cabin is a few minutes drive from WCU, which is very convenient for anyone in town visiting their college kid. I enjoyed my stay, and I recommend this place a 100%.

Mountain Cottage w/ Views Near Tail of the Dragon!
Was a wonderful stay at the cabin. Hosts had the place perfectly set up for a visit, and we had a fantastic time, absolutely beautiful cabin and area. Only notes to future renters, be prepared for no cell service and potential wifi/power loss. First two days we were good but lost power one night due to Hurricane Helen. Didn't cause any big problems, we were perfectly comfortable and safe but check the weather before you go and if it looks a bit iffy make sure to get some non perishables when shopping. We had a fantastic time, thank you!

Peaceful 5 acres with creek! Central to WNC!
We had such a wonderful stay at this cozy mountain cabin! The home was absolutely beautiful—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully maintained. The 5 acres of land and the running creek made for such a peaceful and private getaway. Our Australian Shepherd loved having so much space to roam and especially appreciated the fenced area where she could play safely. It was the perfect spot for both relaxation and adventure. Lindsey was friendly, responsive, and made sure everything went smoothly. We’d definitely recommend staying here and hope to return ourselves soon!

Cozy Mountain Cottage *Brand New Build*
This place is beyond amazing. The attention to detail, the cleanliness, the peace, is indescribable. The bed was one of the nicest beds I've stayed in. They have gone above and beyond to make sure that everything is part of the beautiful experience. Highly recommended! Make sure your vehicle has all-wheel drive or 4x4 to go up the dirt road, it's actually fun to get up there. You will not be disappointed staying at this place!

Knotty & Nice - Mtn Views Near Tail of the Dragon
Diane was a wonderful host. Very responsive to questions. The cabin was amazing and the views were breathtaking. 10/10 would recommend ❤️

Dock Holiday House
Motorcycle trailer friendly parking which is great considering the roads in the area. I had no problem getting my truck and 10ft enclosed trailer there and parked. Great house and neighborhood. We were allowed to check in early which was awesome. The house was stocked with lots of snacks and items that you may forget or need. The layout of the house is nice for 2 separate groups as you would each have your own end of the house and bathroom. My mom stayed at the house and enjoyed the lake view while the rest of us rode motorcycles.

Cozy Lake Santeetlah Cottage with Dock & 3 Kayaks!
We loved our stay here! We had plenty of space and the view was amazing! Our host was friendly and answered any questions we had. We enjoyed our time outside on the dock, the back porch and the outside sitting area. We were able to use the kayaks and go out on the water one morning and enjoy the beautiful views. The beds and pillows were SUPER comfortable, felt like I was at home!

Bryson City Retreat: Fire Pit + Mountain Views!
Wonderful property! Front porch view is amazing with a perfect little fire place! All the rooms and bathroom were very neat and clean upon arrival! Very comfortable for 4 people! Location to different fishable streams was great along with being close to Bryson City.

Buffalo Bridge Cottage | Motorcycle Friendly Cabin
if you need quiet getaway, this is the place. The views were gorgeous, cabin exactly like the pic , town is less then 10 min, grocery store less the 5 . The small town of Bryson city is just enough and it feels like Hallmark movie. Definitely check out the polar express train . Best part was the lighting of the Christmas tree. 🎄 Thanknu for having us. we will come back for sure .

Modern 'Little Bear Cottage' At Santeetlah Lake!
Nice place near the lake. The house was very comfortable and clean. No access directly to the water but it made up for it in other ways!
