Family vacation

We were so pleased with our stay at Mountain Vista. The views from the loft, living room and porch were absolutely beautiful. It was so wonderful sitting on the porch in the mornings and evenings enjoying all the sights and sounds of nature. The house was immaculate and had every amenity our family could ever need. There are so many fun things to do around the area. Mr. Jim was so accommodating and a true pleasure to book with. The little gallery in the valley is so cute with so many neat local art to look at and purchase. We look forward to booking here again for our next family trip!

Great place to stay

Wonderful. Beautiful views. Quiet and without a lot of traffic. Deck view was great. If you wanted a breeze or to get out of the breeze you had the option of back or side deck. Enjoyed sitting by fire pit watching the stars. Cabin was very clean and layout of all rooms was very convenient. Upstairs bathroom off the master bedroom was very convenient. Would stay there again. Owner extremely nice and helpful. Kitchen has anything you might need.

Cabin in the on the mountain

At first I didn't understand the logic behind the Master bedroom being in the loft, until I saw the views you get to wake up to!!!! The cabin is beautiful. Fully stocked, clean and nicely decorated. The views are spectacular. We enjoyed the fire pit with plenty of supplied wood and the charcoal grill. The bed was very comfortable. We spent most of our time on the deck watching the birds and enjoying the views and stars. There were 2 things I was disappointed with; this is not the last house on the lane anymore and the new house is just a stones throw away with full view of the deck. And there are dogs, many, that live in the valley below somewhere that bark constantly. I am not talking a bark here and there but constant loud barking all day and night. This made for a less then peaceful stay. The owner Jim is super great and very responsive. He is very knowledge of the area, grew up there, and has lots of great suggestions for things to do.

Beautiful and great location

The cabin was beautiful, super clean, and comfortable. We slept well in the King sized loft and enjoyed the recliner for afternoon naps. ; ) My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay. We did use our 4 wheel drive for the gravel drive up to the cabin as it is very steep and narrow. That said the location was perfect for us. In 10 min we could be lakeside with our Kayak or on the mountain bike trails at the Tsali trail head. A 25 minute drive had us in downtown Bryson City in one direction and Fontana Dam in the other.

Beautiful view

The view of the mountains was gorgeous and the property was so clean. Everything needed for cooking a meal, relaxing by the fire pit, watching a movie, or playing cornhole was provided. I would highly recommend this cabin for those that want a clean, quality cabin with a fantastic view. FYI The road to the cabin is gravel. While well maintained it did provide a challenge on a motorcycle and with a larger motorcycle trailer. Despite that We greatly enjoyed our stay.

Mountain Cabin Dream Come True!

Immediately upon stepping into the cabin you feel at home. Everything is clean, cozy and welcoming. We wanted to stay forever. Anything that you can think of that you may need the owners have provided and from top to bottom to the gorgeous deck you will find rest and relaxation. This was our second year in a row to stay in this dream cabin and the surrounding area is just as beautiful, pristine and full of activities. We highly recommend this cabin rental.

Perfect get-away cabin; surrounded by trees.

This cabin was an excellent base camp for visiting the area attractions. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived. It had been recently updated, so everything was in good condition. The kitchen was unusually well equipped; plenty of dishes, utensils, and appliances. It was well equipped outside too; lots of patio chairs, firewood, power outlets, good parking area, etc. Be aware that there is no AT&T cell signal at the cabin (as of summer 2021). The nearest places we found a signal were the top of Mission Mountain Rd., Stecoah Gap, and Almond. It's the last house on Pickett Trail, so it was very secluded. It was quiet too, other than the birds, crickets, and some dogs in the neighborhood. The view of the mountains from the porch was excellent. Some of the listing photos show views of neighboring houses and 'downtown' Stecoah, but those must be drone photos, we couldn't see any of that from the cabin. Be sure to check out the Nantahala Outdoors Center and the Stecoah Arts Center - it's a nice little gallery housed in a beautiful building. A visit to Bryson City (highly recommend Everett Street Diner) makes for a nice afternoon too. Jim was very responsive, he always got back to us promptly, and when a thunderstorm knocked out the satellite box, he had it replaced the same afternoon we called him.

A little trip to Paradise!

Booked this Beautiful getaway for a week and turned out to be one of the best decisions of the year! Was kind of our honeymoon and everything was perfect! Easy to find, easy access to a beautiful, secluded, paradise in the Smokey Mountains! Stecoah valley is centrally located on Highway 28 which is a perfect pre- ride to the Tail of the Dragon. Road is awesome, and the scenery second to none. Down the road is Bryson City, another wonderful experience only a few miles up the road. Easy access to the Foothills Parkway, and even closer to Charohala Skyway, which is a cycling road second to none! I highly recommend renting this property for any occasion, and Jim is a very knowledgeable and accommodating host that makes sure you have the best time you can have while in the Smokies! And the house? Inside and out, the perfect getaway for a couple, or a place the whole family will enjoy!

Awesome cabin and great location! Everything you could want and need. Enjoyed the fire pit every night and enjoying the great outdoors. Perfect location and road wasn’t bad at all! Only downfall is no WiFi. We have ATT which is not NC friendly, apparently Verizon is. It was nice to be away from cellular devices but not so good for location and directions but everything else out weighed that! Def would love to stay there again!! And the owner Jim is awesome as well! Thank you Jim for sharing your piece of heaven with my family!

We Love Mountain Vista!

Our stay at Mountain Vista was excellent. The home is kept very clean and tidy, and had everything we needed for our stay. The views over Stecoah Valley are amazing, and the star gazing in the evenings was spectacular. It is really quiet there, with the exception of the roosters crowing, a few dogs barking, and the church bells ringing below - all charming. The gravel road leading up the mountain is easy to navigate and clearly marked with signs. We visited in the spring, so weather was changing fast. We used both the indoor fireplace and outdoor firepit. It was great to have the washer/dryer after hiking in the rain a day or two. We were also happy to find puzzles, games and a few videos to keep us entertained in the rain. We had one issue with a water line stoppage, but Jim was quick to respond and provide the help we needed. Jim also provided terrific directions and tips leading up to the trip. From this location we were able to explore Fontana Dam and surrounds, Yellow Creek Falls, Bryson City, the Road to Nowhere, Deep Creek, Tsali Recreational Area, Nantahala Gorge and various other sites in the Smoky Mountain NP. We rode horses at Smokemount Stables and had a blast (first time for kids). We found the visitor center in Bryson City to be an excellent source of ideas and helpful info. (People so NICE there. too!) We all agreed that this was one of the nicest places we've stayed. The owners clearly put thought into providing what would be needed without going over the top. We appreciated that they even left extra masks, sanitizer and wipes for us during these Covid times. This was a wonderful home-away-from-home for us, and served us well as a base to explore the beauty of western North Carolina.
