Amazing views! Minutes to white water rafting and Bryson City

Delightful, warm living room made for comfort and enjoyment, snuggle by the fire with plush fleece and oversized couch and ottoman. Large 50” Smart, HDR, Fire, flat screen television over the fireplace mantel. Netflix, Prime, CBS and FireTV for television. Skywave for highspeed internet. Lots of windows with the amazing western view make you feel like you are outside enjoying the great outdoors from the comfort of the couch.
Open floor plan kitchen/dining has everything you need and full service to accommodate four guests. Custom made dining table for formal dining with hickory wood chairs, or sit at the granite topped island in the kitchen for a quick bite.
Let Dreamcatcher Cabin catch your dreams while you rest in the master bedroom upstairs with on-suite bath, walk-in shower and granite vanity sink. King sized custom, handmade log bed with 12” memory foam mattress. Second bedroom is on the main level with a queen sized, custom, handmade log bed and furniture. The bathroom has a pocket door for on-suite to the bedroom or open up to the public space for guests.
Outdoor features, include screened in porch with picnic table and (propane) grill. Sit on the porch and use the (propane) outdoor fire pit for evening entertaining. Hot tub on the porch has easy access thru the double sliders on the main.
The sun, stars and moon all have an amazing effect on this home. On a starry night bring your Star Walk II or Planet Finder app to see all the constellations and planets in the western sky. Just about every night there is an amazing sunset.
Lots of local attractions nearby and easy to access. Paddle at the Nantahala Outdoor Center, ride the Smoky Mountain Railroad, play at Harrah’s’ Cherokee Casino and Multi-tainment Center and much more. As you can tell from the pictures of the amazing mountain views this cabin is higher in elevation. The roads are well maintained but due to the incline and the gravel roads we do require AWD or 4WD vehicles. If this Cabin is not available check out our other property in the same community!

Beautiful home

We have stayed there many times and absolutely love the peace, and beauty at this home, and looking out over the mountains. Relaxing place with everything you need, wonderful hosts!!!Be mindful of the home being up on the mountain. If the gravel road gets washed out, it can be tricky to get up really steep grades to the home. Wonderful little break, we will be back

Wonderful cabin with amazing an view!

My husband and I vacation in this area several times each year and by far, this was our favorite cabin. While the drive is steep (the listing indicates you need 4 wheel drive and you do!), it was worth it. Definitely need plan to arrive during daylight hours for navigational purposes.Quiet evenings, starry night skies, beautiful sunrises over the mountains, and the elevation was high enough that we actually had snow on our last night! The cabin is very well maintained, management was very responsive to messaging, and we would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Mountain Retreat

This cabin and views were awesome. The only hesitation I had was the ability to control the temp in the home. The temp would not go above 68 degrees and to get it any warmer in the house we had to use the logs. This then overheated the top suite even with the fans turned in reverse to push the heat down. We tried using the Alexa to control but it wouldn't communicate with the downstairs unit. I still highly recommend this place. If that could be fixed or allow the customer to adjust, this place would be a 10/10.

Love Bryson City

We enjoyed our six day stay at Dream Catcher. The cabin was as advertised with amazing views. Wonderfully appointed and not cluttered. The October weather was perfect, a little cooler than usual but we enjoyed the cold front. The cabin was very private and secluded. Land is being prepared to build more cabins so the mountain road is getting more use which has caused ruts, AWD/4WD is necessary.

Words cannot describe how AMAZING this place is!

First, Jennifer’s communication is spectacular and her help was greatly appreciated. We arrived just one week after WNC floods from Helene! We had zero issues getting to- or staying at the property! PROS: We stay in the mountains 8-10 per year and I don’t think we will ever be able to top the views from this cabin! They were spectacular! The cabin has everything you need for your stay! The bed is comfortable and everything was spotless!! Alexa has the capability to control everything for you- which is fantastic for me because I am completely Alexa dependent in my everyday life. Kitchen has everything you need! Hot tub and fire pit were just the cherry on top! Cons: If you can really find any, the house does have ants. They do not bite, but they are very present! This may be troubling for some, we really could not care less. The Jeep showed an average of a 13 degree grade pitch coming in. Some spots higher or lower. We had zero trouble getting in and out. Like I said - I have a Jeep though. We made it up and down in 2WD. Your car should do just fine if you take your time and enjoy the ride! I really cannot say enough good things about the property! We will be saying again this winter with the kids! Thank you so much for sharing this special place with us!!

Mountain Hideaway

Beautiful property off the beaten path. The location is great and feels isolated, but still less than a 15 minute drive to Bryson City. As others have mentioned, the 4WD / AWD requirement is not a joke; we had an AWD vehicle with all terrains and still had slippage navigating the washboard section of the uphill to the cabin. Once you are there any of those concerns slip away as you enter to panoramic views of the mountains.

Beautiful and exceptional cabin! Lots of thoughtful touches. Gorgeous view. AWD a must! Would have liked directions on how to work both tvs, but we figured out how to watch the Olympics which is what we wanted. Needed better instructions for the fire bowl. Overall a fabulous vacation and cabin!

Amazing Views!

The views and the cabin are lovely! My husband and I enjoyed our five night stay very much. The hot tub was great and a welcomed respite at the end of the day. This had to be a working vacation for both of us and the wifi and cell signals were reliable throughout our stay. If you’re preparing meals in the cabin, you’ll find the kitchen well stocked with all the necessary utensils, and the gas grill worked great, too! The bed was comfy and there were plenty of linens provided. We’d gladly stay here again! A note about the access road: AWD is definitely needed! We have rented numerous cabins in the area and have found that even when AWD is recommended, it’s not often necessary. With this cabin, it’s not an option. You need AWD. The steepness of the road and the road conditions will cause your tires to spin in place without it. On more than one occasion there were vehicles reversing down the hill because they were unable to make the climb.

Cabin with fantastic views

The drive up the cabin was very steep, unpaved, uneven and precarious. We read some reviews which strongly advised 4x4 but someone suggested SUV was sufficient. We messaged the host asking for advise as we had booked a SUV car, they did not reply and are not communicative at all. It took us four attempts to get up the drive! We strongly advise 4x4 or AWD. The cabin is large, well equipped and the views are amazing. From our experience, it is better to deal with owner hosts who are responsive and helpful instead of agents who do not provide the same services.

Great property!

The cabin was very clean and had all the things you would need during your stay from the kitchen to the bathroom. The view was amazing! The only thing that was less than desirable was the water pressure. It even cut down to just a trickle (possibly due to peak times of community use) in the showers several times but it was manageable once we figured out how to handle it.
