About this property

Quaint, Private log cabin mountain top retreat

This is the perfect get away. Enjoy this private quiet setting with beautiful long range views. This property has a nice elevation that keeps it cool in the hot summer months. Everything you'll need is at your finger tips. It is truly a home away from home. Relax in the hot tub or take a nature walk on several trails that leads from the top of this property or just relax in the rocking chairs on the front porch and enjoy the views. You may see a stray Deer come strolling by. Dine inside or out with a large picnic table close by and a fire pit with seating all around. There is plenty to do including rafting and fly fishing at the near by river or boating at the lake.This is a true log built cabin and easily sleeps six. It has a wood burning stove along with baseboard heat, TV's, full kitchen, telephone, out door grille and all the comforts of home, just stop at the store on your way in for groceries. Perfect cabin for ALL seasons.

Home Away From Home
This property has now become our favorite. Coming from a busy area in Florida all we wanted was peace and quiet and this quaint cabin gave us just that. Dan was the perfect host checking in on us and providing us places to eat in town and making sure we stopped at the grocery store before we drove to the cabin. The drive into the cabin was epic and the hot tub was the icing on the cake. Highly recommend. Even my teenager daughter had a great time.

Slice of heaven
We really enjoyed this beautiful cabin. If you want to take a step away from your busy everyday life this is the place to stay. We loved everything about it from the hot tube to the fire pit❤️ The views are breathtaking! We have never stayed in a place so tucked away. The owners are very nice and attentive. Thank you for being a great host. We will definitely be back!

Spectacular Cabin
Shayla and Dan were amazing hosts, available to answer any questions I had and provided great information about the cabin once we arrived. The pictures really don’t do this cabin justice. Gorgeous views and literally everything we needed was available to us. It was the most peaceful away from everything trip we’ve ever been able to find. A absolute pleasure to wind down with only the distraction of birds and squirrels.

Disconnect that we needed
This is our second stay at Dan and Sheyla’s Happy Top cabin. Once in 2021 and now 2023. We enjoy the time we can disconnect and relax in the mountains. At arrival the cabin was clean and ready. Dan called via home phone to check in on us and made sure we arrived safely. Dan also made sure we had proper heat during our stay and that we were comfortable in all aspect of our stay. The cabin has 99% of all necessary equipment to make your stay with them easy. I.e pots, pans, plates, etc. Per my last advice when traveling to Happy Top - bring the food you’ll want and need for the duration of stay and you’ll be set. Nantahala outdoor Center is 40-45 mins away for a nice outdoor activity, shops and restaurants, note: Lake Ends restaurant closes for the winter season and doesn’t open back until spring so be aware of business season closures. The WiFi in the cabin is nice to have specially when checking local businesses and what to do around the area. Overall another successful stay at Happy Top. My only request is additional outdoor lighting at the fire pit area and hot tub area. Because when you’re telling scary campfire stories and start to hear things in the woods it really gets you. 😂 👻

An amazing getaway
We've stayed here once before and enjoyed it so much we decided to come back during a different season. We love the peace and quiet here and the view from the front patio is so perfect that we spent most of our time outside taking it all in. The cabin itself is perfect and has everything you could possibly need. The driveway up isn't paved, but we had no trouble driving up in my VW Golf front wheel drive. We'll definitely be staying again here in the future!
