Wonderful location!
Vickie and Eric have put together a wonderful retreat! The thoughtfulness that went into this cabin is without peer! Having had a vacation rental ourselves, we look at everything with a critical eye. The cabin is spectacularly clean! Quality furnishings and bedding. Very well stocked kitchen. The decor fits perfectly with the home. The IR grill was used extensively. The only drawback to this cabin is that my wife and I are not there more often! Perfectly located with Dillsboro, Franklin, Bryson City, Sylva and Cherokee within easy driving distance. Plenty of fantastic places to eat as well. To top it off, we had the pleasure to meet Vickie and Eric, you will not meet a more gracious and kind couple. My final thought is that "if its not in that cabin, you dont need it". Make your reservation with confidence.

Beautiful and Clean!
I must tell you about Cozy Lil’ cabin as it was spectacular— inside and out. We stay in the mountains about twice a year and their cabin is located in a perfect spot for all things Mountain. It has to be the cleanest, best decorated, and is stocked better than any VRBO we’ve stayed in. And it was decorated for Christmas including Christmas lights and a beautifully decorated Christmas tree. Seriously, it seemed like everything was done above and beyond to make our stay as wonderful as it could possibly be (and it was).
The kitchen is stocked just like home! The beds are adjustable and the mattresses are super comfortable ( in fact my girlfriend slept in the loft bed and says that will be the next mattress she purchases).
Communication with Vickie was responsive and easy. Oh- and another thing- the water pressure was awesome!
Thank you Vickie and Eric—we will definitely be returning!

Cutest cabin!
We loved this cozy cabin! All the little details made us feel right at home. Vickie was very thorough with all the instructions and our welcome basket was such a nice touch. We will definitely recommend and maybe even stay again if we’re in the same area!
Super clean, great communication, excellent location that felt "away from it all" but was only minutes from restaurants etc., all the amenities, welcome basket of snacks and info about local attractions. I can't say enough good things about the property and the hosts, and we hope to stay there again soon.

Cozy, comfortable cabin in a beautiful setting
We loved our stay at this cabin. The owners have made it so very cozy and welcoming - so many great details for guests like the fire pit and smore makings, brochures about the area, everything you need in the kitchen, etc. We will probably stay here again when we're in the area! Great location. This is not meant as a negative at all, but I do want to note for future guests that if you're a light sleeper, you might want to bring a white noise speaker or something because the cabin does make some creaking noises, especially if someone is staying upstairs. Just the nature of wood cabins really, but my husband is a light sleeper and needed white noise to help him sleep. Beds and living room furniture were extremely comfortable. Great front porch for enjoying the scenery and the sound of the little creek across the street. Highly recommend!
