About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Downtown Mountain City

This house built in 1930 has been recreated with the past in mind. This quaint cottage overlooks the city and has the charm of yesteryear. A lot of time has went into the detail of the design keeping up with the needs of today but capturing the feeling of the past. Everything you need for a stay away from home. The property is located in town but its still the country.

Mountain City cabin
The cabin was cozy and easily accessible. Be aware that the 1 bedroom has a double bed with a very uncomfortable mattress (bring a memory foam if you have back/joint pain). The twin bed is located in the same bedroom and has a more comfortable mattress but is low to the floor. We loved the history of the cabin and the heating system is excellent! Kitchen and living room are spacious. No toaster.

Clean as a fiddle and in Town
What a lovely place to stay. The unit was very clean with warm heat and good layout. You are above and next to US-421, so there will be traffic noise. We are not use to traffic noise at night, and did not find this location to be an issue. The history of this house is wonderful (read story in guest book), and the location is convenient to all the Mountain City area has to offer. I would not hesitate to book this home in the future.

Property was as described and priced accordingly. You could hear traffic, however location was very convenient to everything we needed. Beds were somewhat uncomfortable. Nice big TV and WiFi worked just fine. Host information provided was very helpful. We are considering staying a month this Summer.

It was nice to have the comforts of home: living room, kitchen, laundry facilities, and a private but central location. Hosts were available and responsive when needed.

Owners provided history of the home and is beautifully decorated and clean. Close to everything you need. The owners were also very knowledgeable with resources in the area with the hurricane that came through. I’m glad that they had an opening because I had a reservation at a motel and was canceled and this home was reasonably priced and was in the area that I needed to be. Thank You Christine and Steve for all your help with resources it really helped.

Conveniently Located, Clean & Cozy
We had another great stay! This is close (walking distance) to several restaurants & town. Very clean & comfy (albeit, small) beds. Plenty of room for the dogs to run & play. There is a lot of road noise & a busy Burger King/convenient store next door and the dryer still sounds like it’s ready for takeoff, but the good (by far) exceeds those annoyances!

Rustic Home Away from Home
The property was lovely in its rustic style. Little issues than can just happen through usage. It’s very roomy. I had everything I needed. Good WiFi. Good streaming ability on the television. I would definitely use it again. The AC worked well. Nice appliances. The only thing I would change is taking a nightlight for the middle of the night bathroom visits.

When viewing the property from outside driving up, it is shocking. Looks like an abandoned cabin. That’s for tax assessment purposes. Inside is immaculate! Clean, everything you could possibly need from the kitchen to the bathroom furnished. A super place to stay. Spotlessly cleaned. Great view of the city yet close. I will always try to return.

Wonderful Rental
Wonderful, convenient location for visiting Mtn City. We were visiting family in the area. I had stayed here previously and would still recommend it today. My sister loved it. Roomy , had amenities you need - home away from home. I would recommend a toaster and a saucepan - I couldn’t find either. Neither created an issue but would have been handy. Well worth the price. Plan on staying here again. Thank you to the owners.

We stay around MC at least once a month while waiting for our forever home to be finished. We usually stay at cabins out in the woods with no one around. We’ve been skeptical to stay here b/c of the location, but are so glad we gave it a go! Read the reviews, and you won’t be surprised or disappointed.(Except in a good way!) This place is clean, modern (& historic!) and centrally located. The traffic noise bothered me quite a bit, but I’m at the “everyone shut it!’ stage of my life! Just a few things to mention…hubby & I did sleep in separate beds & it was both troublesome & comforting…lol. The dryer sounds like she’s going to blow at any time…wouldn’t want to be on the toilet when she blows! (Speaking of which, the toilet rocks to & fro…soooo.) There is so much space inside & we were surprised there were 2 bathrooms. (Helpful hint: leave the bathroom doors open if it’s chilly…otherwise…burrrr!) There was a groundhog sunning itself on the porch when we returned from lunch…it made its way under the house. So, to sum it up, would we stay here again and recommend it to a friend? Absolutely 100% YES. It’s a unique place!

Great Stay
Centrally located and convenient to the nearby area. It is on the main road so can get noisy at times. Didn’t bother us. The bed is a double so my husband slept on the twin bed. We are used to a Queen bed. Very comfortable mattress. Has most of what you need to cook and prepare meals. We would definitely stay again.
