Romantic Getaway! Hot Tub & Mountain Views, King Bed

Wake up to mountain views, spend the day exploring the Smokies, then come home to relax in the hot tub beneath a sky full of stars. Hot Cocoa is a cozy retreat designed for couples, anniversaries, honeymooners, and anyone looking to slow down for a few days.



Featuring a comfortable king bedroom, oversized shower, fully stocked kitchen, private hot tub with robes and slippers, fire pit with twinkle lights, and a large covered porch, you'll have everything you need for a memorable stay.



Dog friendly and conveniently located just minutes from Cherokee, Bryson City, Harrah's Cherokee Casino, hiking, waterfalls, tubing, and the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad.



**Unwind. Recharge. Repeat.**



Some vacations are filled with schedules.



This isn't one of them.



Wake up slowly with coffee on the covered porch as the mountains come to life around you. Spend the day exploring waterfalls, hiking trails, tubing the Tuckasegee River, or wandering the shops of Bryson City and Cherokee. Then return to your private cabin, light a fire, slip into the hot tub, and watch the stars appear overhead.



Welcome to **Hot Cocoa**, a cozy mountain retreat thoughtfully designed for two. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, honeymoon, birthday, attending a wedding, trying your luck at Harrah's Cherokee Casino, or simply escaping everyday life, you'll find everything you need to relax and reconnect.



Guests consistently tell us the cabin is even better than they expected. From the oversized shower and comfortable king bed to the well-stocked kitchen and thoughtful extras, we've created the kind of place we'd want to stay ourselves.



Rest and Relax

The spacious bedroom features a comfortable king-size bed with soft linens, cozy pillows, a Smart TV, and sliding glass doors that open directly onto the covered porch.



The bathroom features a large walk-in shower with plenty of room to get ready for the day or freshen up after hiking, sightseeing, or exploring the area.



🍳 A Kitchen You'll Actually Enjoy Cooking In



Vacation meals should be easy.



Our kitchen is stocked with:



✔ Full-size appliances



✔ Dual Flex coffee maker (drip or K-Cups)



✔ Starter coffee



✔ Sharp knives



✔ Quality cookware



✔ Cooking utensils



✔ Dishes, glasses, and serving pieces



✔ Basic spices and cooking essentials



Whether you're making breakfast before heading out or grilling dinner after a day of hiking, you'll find everything you need.



🛋 Cozy Evenings In

After a day of exploring the mountains, settle into the oversized sofa, stream your favorite shows, or simply enjoy a quiet evening together. Sometimes the best part of vacation is having nowhere else to be.

Bring your streaming passwords and make yourself at home.



🌅 Your Favorite Spot Might Be the Porch



Many of our guests tell us the porch quickly becomes their favorite place.



Start the morning with coffee and mountain views, spend the afternoon relaxing in a rocking chair, then end the day soaking in the private hot tub or gathering around the fire pit beneath the twinkle lights.



You'll enjoy:



• Large covered porch



• Mountain views



• Four-person hot tub



• Robes & slippers



• Gas grill



• Outdoor dining



• Fire pit with Adirondack chairs



• Marshmallow roasting sticks



A few starter pieces of firewood are provided, with additional bundles available nearby.



🐾 Dogs Are Family Too



We know vacations are better when your best friend comes along.



Hot Cocoa welcomes dogs! Please be sure to select the pet option when booking so the pet fee is included. We also ask that dogs be kenneled if left alone in the cabin.



📍 Close to Everything



You'll enjoy peaceful mountain surroundings while being close to many of Western North Carolina's most popular attractions.



• Harrah's Cherokee Casino – 8 miles



• Great Smoky Mountains Railroad – 11 miles



• Deep Creek tubing, waterfalls & hiking – 12.5 miles



• Parker Mill Wedding Venue – 1.2 miles



• Western Carolina University – 13 miles



• Bryson City



• Cherokee



• Sylva



• Dillsboro



Whether you're here to explore or simply relax, Hot Cocoa is the perfect home base.



Hosted by Owners Who Care



When you stay with us, you're not booking with a large management company.



The Boring Stuff (We Tried to Make It Less Boring)



Mountain roads are part of the adventure! The final stretch includes one well-maintained gravel hill. We regularly drive it in a Hyundai Sonata, and most guests have no trouble in a standard vehicle. We recommend arriving before dark if it's your first visit.



Dogs are welcome! Please include them when booking so the pet fee is added correctly. We ask that dogs be kenneled if left alone.



We provide hand soap, dish soap, starter laundry supplies, coffee, basic spices, fresh linens, towels, robes, slippers, and a hair dryer. Please bring your own shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and personal items.



Smoking or vaping is not permitted inside the cabin. Ashtrays are provided outside.



Hot Cocoa is conveniently located just off US-74, making it easy to reach Bryson City, Cherokee, and the area's top attractions. Because the cabin sits farther back from the road, outside road noise is typically minimal and only occasionally noticeable. Most guests appreciate the easy access and peaceful setting.



Mountain weather can change quickly, so we recommend purchasing travel insurance if traveling during winter months.



High Chair and Pack and Play available UPON REQUEST.



Decorated for Christmas around Mid-November



We can't wait to welcome you to Hot Cocoa.

This cabin was centrally located to everything we wanted to do. Just a short drive to Cherokee, Bryson City, Dillsboro, and Sylva. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The hosts go above and beyond with stocking the necessities and extras to make the cabin feel like home. The bed was extremely comfortable. I slept great every night. The hot tub was wonderful after busy days hiking and exploring. This is the best VRBO rental I've ever booked and cannot say enough about it. I would absolutely stay in one of their properties again.

What a beautiful, clean and well stocked home!! Very convenient to all the places we went - Bryson City, Cherokee and Brevard. Spent so much time outdoors. The fire pit is lovely, and the porch was perfect for morning and evening meals.The hosts answered all my questions before and after booking, and they had the house ready and waiting when we arrived. We had a 55th bday yesterday, and they even left us balloons! How incredibly sweet!We would highly recommend staying here!And the restaurant attached to the Exxon one and a half mile down the road (WIZE GUYZ GRILLE). We picked up two meals from them to eat out on the porch. You can get firewood in the gas station too.
