Mountain Top Cabin with a View that is Centrally Located in Western Carolina.

Juke Cabin is great place to relax or be adventurous in the mountains of western North Carolina. Our porch offers an incredible view where you can relax on the outdoor sofa or rock in the rocking chairs. The porch is kid/dog friendly with a gate enclosure to prevent sneaking off! Meals can be enjoyed on the porch table or inside on the dining room table. Enjoy the indoor fireplace on a chilly night or outside at the firepit on summer evenings. The kitchen has been fully renovated with all new appliances and granite countertops. The kitchen cabinets an antique "wormy chestnut" that were made locally over 50 years ago and have been restored to maintain the mountaintop cabin feel.

Juke Cabin is centrally located between Cherokee and Asheville, North Carolina. Hiking can be done nearby in the Great Smokey Mountains or Blue Ridge Parkway. Countless waterfalls are located nearby including Dry Falls, Mingo Falls, Looking Glass Falls, High Falls, Turtleback Fall and Rainbow Falls. Visit nearby Dillsboro or Sylva to grab a meal or drink at a local brewery after shopping at the local artist galleries. Jump on the train in Dillsboro and ride it through the Great Smokey Mountains to Bryson City. Visit nearby Cherokee, NC where you can visit the Cherokee Indian Village, see elk, watch the play Unto These Hills (an outdoor drama retailing the Trail of Tears), or try your luck at Harrah's Cherokee Casino. Take a day trip exploring the Great Smokey Mountains and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Kayaking, tubing and white water rafting are just a short trip down the mountain in Dillsboro or in Bryson City. Ziplining is a fun adventure close to Juke Cabin too. There are several gem mining locations nearby that is always fun for the kids. Asheville is just an hour away. We are happy to offer suggestions on things to do that involve kids, dogs, grandparents or families.

Or, just sit on the porch with a glass of wine or cup of coffee while enjoying the view to recharge your batteries!

We have enjoyed our cabin for over 16 years with babies, kids, teenagers, grandparents and dogs. We can offer a variety of suggestions on places to see, visit, eat and hike for any age group - with our without dogs too!

The juke cabin was adorable, quaint and comfy. The view off the back porch was beautiful. We kept taking pictures. Michele, the host was very responsive. We would love to return sometime and recommend it for a mtn. get away. We took the train ride out of Bryson City on The Great Smokey Mtn. Train. It was a fun excursion for the day. Dillsboro and Sylva have quaint little shops and restaurants for a day of shopping and sightseeing.

This is such a great property! The cabin is so inviting and woodsy - just what you want in the mountains. It was very clean! You would never know it's dog-friendly because it's so clean. The back porch is such a nice, comfortable place to hang out with lots of seating and awesome view. The host is super nice, helpful and attentive. We have no complaints. It was a wonderful mountain get-away.

Michelle was a great host. She checked on us before we got there and even called to provide some last minute information about the heat. The view from the back porch is gorgeous and the house had everything we needed. My family enjoyed the stay. Michelle provides great directions up to the house as it is not on a state maintained road. The first time you go to the house go when you have some daylight as Michelle recommends.

Absolutely stunning views! The porch was our favorite spot - great for a.m. coffee, and sooo incredibly serene! We could hear the leaves dropping from the trees! The cabin itself was very pretty, very clean, cozy feel but still spacious. Kitchen roomy and well-equipped. We didn’t get to use the firepit - outdoor space was so inviting, but it was a bit too cool at night for us to sit outside our last night there. Instead, we used the fireplace, which was heavenly! Upstairs king in loft was the only bed used and VERY comfy! Doggies loved the place, too! The gravel road up to the cabin was intimidating for my hubs the 1st time, and he was uncertain about my rental choice! LOL! But after that 1st time, he was fine with it and, in fact, wants to return to Juke cabin! (We drove a Subaru Outback and just took it slow - no problem!) Michelle was a fabulous host and VERY responsive! Extremely easy check-in process, too! Thank you so very much for sharing your amazing cabin! Absolute BEST rental we’ve stayed at in the 16 years we’ve been visiting the Smokies!

The name of the cabin does this place an absolute justice. It does feel heavenly in the clouds.We absolutely enjoyed the stay. Cabin has a wonderful view. Has couple of games for us to play. The patio was our favorite place to hand out. My dog absolutely enjoyed roaming outside the cabin. It is a thrilling ride at night to the cabin. I would suggest to reach while the sun it out. The host is an absolutely amazing person. She is kind and supportive. I left some things at the cabin. She offered to mail it to me.

Our stay in this cozy moutain home was perfect. The mountaun view is breath taking from the porch and the house is well stocked with everything you could need from; cooking, games, tvs, comfortable furninure, and laundry. The drive up the moutain is an adventure and confirms that you truly found a place to get away from everyday life and enjoy nature. The host does an excellent job of keeping in touch with you and is very responsive if you need any assistance. We loved spending time here.

Beautiful spot with great views

The house has, by far, the most beautiful landscaping of any house we've ever stayed. Communication with host was great. WAY off the beaten track, the road to the house is challenging at first and you need to pay attention to the directions. Great mountain views from porch. House, while not luxurious, is clean, well equipped and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay.

Absolutely Fantastic!!!

The only thing that could have made our stay better was if it were longer! The cabin was even better than advertised, secluded, quiet and very homey. Michelle was outstanding from the start, and squeezed in the third leg of our honeymoon tour on relatively short notice. Everything you could think of was provided, and if you bought enough groceries you would never even need to leave the cabin (we did anyways though, and the local shops and restaurants were delightful). My wife is in love with it and can't wait to go back, and neither can I. Literally the best VRBO/AirB&B we've ever stayed in! start, and

Beautiful Mountain Oasis

Traveling to the cabin: It's a climb up to the cabin, but honestly, the road isn't bad as far as mountain roads go. There are no intense switchbacks and the road, though bumpy, curves gently. We were in a Hyundai Tucson and had no issues. Slow and steady and you will be just fine. Location: So easy to get to from the highway. It's a short journey to town to get groceries. About 1 1/2 hour journey through the national park to get to Dollywood, about an hour to get to Asheville. The property: I booked the cabin for the beautiful garden. The fire pit area was so nice with the market lights overhead (and has some yellow lady slippers blooming around it! We used the wildflower book provided by the owner to identify some flowers which was fun) The cabin: Is SO peaceful and quiet. The porch is heaven and you can listen to a symphony of birds. The furniture is comfy, as are the beds. The kitchen is stocked for simple meals. The hot water LASTS (and feels so good after a hike). The towels are fluffy. The games are fun to play (we played DogStax every night at the table) and the books provided are fun to peruse. The TV is satellite and worked great. The Wifi didn't want to cooperate during our visit, so it might not be best if you are booking to WFH, but we enjoyed the cabin so much, it became hardly missed. I highly recommend booking if you need some rest, peace and beauty.

Loved our stay

I chose this for the Mountain View, and it fulfilled that expectation perfectly. The porch is awesome filled with comfy furniture to relax and enjoy the view. I liked the privacy and the serenity of the location. The host is very responsive and helpful. We only went out to eat one day during our stay and enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, using the grill, and eating at the table with the gorgeous views. Beyond that, I loved this section of North Carolina. We will definitely be coming back next year. Lots of hiking and waterfalls in the surrounding area. The Great Smokey Mountain Railroad in Bryson is easy to get to and well worth the ride to the Nantahala Gorge.
