Appalachian Peak Paradise - Massive Views, Hot Tub, Fire Pit

We had such an amazing time! We definitely plan to be back, this was one of our favorite places we have had the pleasure of staying!

Appalachian was a wonderful stay. Mike was very attentive and always responded promptly.

man! this place is awesome! after enjoying the polar express, I felt like the drive to the tiptop of the mountain was so worth it. the view, hot tub on the balcony! everything. even s'more kit just incase someone forgot. a must stay when in the area!

The whole experience was a 10!! Would love to go back.

Really enjoyed our stay!

Fantastic stay! Family had a blast

Wonderful place! We had to leave in a hurry due to my daughter waking up sick.. wish we could have booked it for longer! Beautiful views.

Insanely nice place! It was the perfect location and cabin for my fiancée’s birthday. We stayed for 4 nights and had the best time! The cabin was so beautiful and clean inside and outside. The jacuzzi was incredible with gorgeous views. Mike was super on top of communication and anything we needed. Such a great host. This is probably my favorite Airbnb I have stayed at and really good value. If we go back to Bryson city, which I am sure we will, we’ll be staying here again. 10/10 recommend!

The view from the cabin was breathtaking. The host was friendly and very responsive. We had a great time, would definitely like to stay there again if the next time we are in the area.

We had a wonderful stay. The cabin was exactly like the photos.. getting there at night was a bit of a challenge just because we were unfamiliar with the area. I would recommend planning your arrival during daylight hours. With that said, waking up and walking out to the living room the next morning to see the view of colorful trees made it all worthwhile. Truly amazing place!

If you are looking for a beautiful home with stunning views then you have found it. Located at the top of the mountain you can sip the morning coffee with breathtaking views of the valley. Yes, the road up to this property is intimidating but the views are worth it. The colors of fall leaves give depth to the natural beauty before you. The house is well thought out and gorgeous in its own right. The s’mores welcome basket is a nice touch that shows the host has thought of everything. What makes this place even better is that its pup approved. Our pup loved being able to join us on this getaway. If you’ve made it this far and are reading reviews just book it, you won’t regret it.

This place was awesome! It was beautiful, surrounded by nature, and very peaceful! Everything matched the photos, very clean, and was exactly as described. Fairly close to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the Nantahala National forest, about 30 mins to an hours drive but well worth the visit. Mike was a great host, we appreciate him checking in on us during our stay. I would highly recommend this stay for anyone wanting a peaceful getaway!

环境优美，宁静。

Absolutely lovely and restful stay in a remote cabin with one of the best views I’ve ever seen!

Wonderful getaway for the weekend. The cabin was peaceful and clean. Couldn’t ask for a better weekend getaway in the mountains at this beautiful Cabin. The host was very responsive and answered any questions we had. We would definitely return to this cabin in the future.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay! It’s private, clean and has amazing views! We’ll definitely visit again!

Mike’s place was a great stay. Very clean and well stocked, good for a night in or just a short drive to Bryson City. Mike was a communicative host. Would stay again!

The place was fantastic. Great views off of the back balcony and also from the hot tub. Close drive to downtown Bryson City. Mike was very personable and texted us a nice welcome text, as well as a nice farewell text when we were checking out. Hospitable all around. We had a small issue getting the grill started, and Mike was quick to give us a solution and it ended up working perfectly for our steaks. All in all, I highly recommend Mike’s place, and we will come back to him when we visit the Smokies again.

great stay. great communication. great house. will book again in the future.

We loved our stay here! Gorgeous view, private, quiet and peaceful, which is exactly what we wanted! The cabin was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed using the hot tub overlooking the mountains. Mike was very quick with answering a few questions we had while here. We can’t wait until next year to come back to this little slice of Heaven.🩷

Mikes place is a one of a kind find - highly recommend! The cabin feels new, has so many amenities, is well decorated, spacious…the list of positives goes on. A couple notes that might be cons for some: 1) the awesome view is slightly blocked in the summer by all the green on trees and 2) it’s a drive up the mountain to get there. However, these are minor inconveniences to experience such a great cabin!

This cabin was amazing!!

Great stay overall. Beautiful home that looks brand new. Views are great and probably even better once leaves fall off in the fall and winter. It's a trek to get up there so make sure you plan ahead with meals and no more than 1 trip a day up and down the mountain but once you are there stay is spectacular. Home had everything you could need in a kitchen and amenities.

Great stay. Clean and described properly

We had an amazing stay at this Mountain View Airbnb! The location was quiet, serene, and surrounded by nature—exactly what I needed for a relaxing getaway. Waking up to the panoramic mountain views every morning was an absolute highlight. The space was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen was well-equipped, and the host provided everything I needed for a smooth stay. I also appreciated the little touches like fresh coffee, local recommendations, and fast Wi-Fi.

We had the most magical stay at Mike's. It was even more beautiful than I expected. Mike was an amazing communicator and so inviting, we couldn't ask for more. The house was fully stocked and a perfect escape to the mountains. Close to everywhere we wanted to go. We had a blast at Lake Fontana, rented a little boat from a place called Almond rentals, drove to The Smokey Mountain National Park numerous times and were located close to town. The longest part is travelling up and down the mountain which took about two drives to get used to and we LOVED it. We have a front wheel dive Jeep and it was easy. I want to mention the impeccable cleanliness, ABOVE AND BEYOND. I would stay here again without hesitation - thank you MIKE!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful mountain retreat! The property is surrounded by pristine natural beauty, offering peace, privacy, and breathtaking views in every direction. Everything was spotless and immaculately maintained, with all the amenities we could possibly need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The hosts were fantastic — warm, responsive, and proactive in their communication, making the entire experience seamless. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in the Bryson City area.

Mikes place was amazing. Pretty steep hill to get up to but we had no problem in a Buick encore. The view was absolutely amazing even though you just want to cut down some trees to get an even better view. Place was super clean and had everything you need. The kitchen was absolutely amazing and had everything we need. Best Airbnb kitchen I’ve had the pleasure to cook in and I’m an executive chef so my expectations are high. There is a cabin right next to it and we could hear people but not to bad. All in all, one of the best Airbnbs I’ve stayed at. 10/10

Our family enjoyed the peaceful location and the view. The road to the top was initially intimidating, but was easy to navigate after the first trip up and well worth it for the tranquility. Check-in was easy and Mike and team communicated well. The location is great for outdoor activities, such as Fontana Lake, Nantahala, hiking trails, etc. and excursions into multiple mountain towns and Cherokee. Would stay again!

Perfect quiet space, close to downtown Bryson and out to NOC, Wildwater, and up to Cherokee. Beautiful, New Cabin, Great Layout. Everything you need for a home up on the mountain away from home is here.

Mike and Pam were remarkable. Very responsive and it was a wonderful 5 days in mountains Very clean… loved the hot tub. Very peaceful No complaints other than road was hard to navigate. Thank you Mike Will book with you next time

Great place High up the mountain, definitely an experience for a flatlander

Our extended family booked a stay with Mike at his stunning mountain cabin. He was super responsive with all our communication always answering within minutes. He was incredibly kind and very generous with accommodations. The cabin is situated very high up on the mountain side and has spectacular views. It’s very peaceful and quiet. The cabin is both rustic and modern with a beautiful interior and tons of outdoor spaces to relax and take in the view. Everything was spotless clean and very well kept. The beds were very comfortable. We will absolutely come back for another stay. We recommend Mike and his beautiful home very highly. Thank you again for such a worry free and enjoyable vacation stay.

Had a great stay! The house is awesome and everything is like the page description!!! I would definitely stay again in the future.

Absolutely gorgeous, modern yet cozy, dream home! Magical view of the Smokey mountains, you feel like your on top of the world. Spacious- upstairs loft and bed that felt private, main floor bedroom and bathroom, and downstairs bedroom with king bed, bathroom, and living room with games and a large sectional couch— the hot tub right outside on the bottom deck. Outdoor table on the top deck with a super nice grill on the top deck. Large gorgeous windows and doors. We were seriously impressed. Best Airbnb we’ve stayed in so far. Outdoor fireplace with plenty of wood. In a gated community— so we felt super safe— but the houses are far apart and definitely still felt very private and peaceful. Our sweet pup had plenty of room to run around outside. The host was very communicative, kind, flexible and quick to respond. Would definitely stay again!

My family and I recently stayed at Appalachian Peak Paradise. It truly was a paradise. The cabin is new and everything was immaculate. The beds are also very comfortable. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and quiet mountain retreat!

The serenity this cabin offers is amazing. It’s a modern twist of your typical cabin done with great taste. The drive up to the cabin is beautiful and although it may seem a bit hairy for newbies, it’s perfectly fine. I always think, if the construction vehicles were able to get up to construct, then a regular vehicle should be fine; with some caution on turns for possible oncoming cars. The cabin offers everything you need for a comfortable stay. All the beds are super comfortable and the cabin comfortably accommodates a party of 6 adults. The drive to the bottom of mountain is about 10 minutes from cabin and another 10 minutes or so to downtown Bryson City. The hosts were amazing as they were always available for any questions we had. Highly recommend.

So much better than I expected!! The location is beautiful and so peaceful. Looking forward to coming back ♥️♥️

It was a great stay we enjoyed our time in the cabin. Would definitely recommend and would love to come back

Very Beautiful scenery, The cabin had a beautiful layout with beautiful decor and furniture. The highlight is the jacuzzi overlooking the view. It was so relaxing. The hosts are super friendly and communicate well. This place is on top of the mountain so don’t let the drive scare you. It’s mostly paved most of the way up and goes to gravel when you get to the driveway of the house. I would suggest going during the day if you can because the turns are easier to see, but we had driven up in the evening and it was fine. The views of this house is one of the most spectacular I have ever seen. The sunrises and sunsets!

We had a wonderful stay at Mike's place and are already looking forward to returning for a longer visit. The home was spotless, thoughtfully appointed, and tastefully designed—comfortable without feeling overdone. We loved that firewood and a starter log were ready for use, even though we didn’t get a chance to enjoy a fire this time. The hot tub was exceptionally clean and easy to operate, and the architecture and overall design were beautiful and inviting.

This place is a fabulous escape from the world. After the first trip up the driveway, it’s much less scary. Beautiful views, quiet, 15 minutes from town, quaint and friendly people downtown.

Amazing scenery! The house is immaculate. Bryson City offers several options for shopping and dining… the antique stores are some of the best I’ve visited (and that says a lot)… the gift shops are super unique and fun as well… there are many dining options. Although the cabin may seem remote at first sight, it’s actually really private while being in close proximity to anything you may need. The best part of our stay was watching the dawn and the dusk over the mountains. ❤️

Absolutely stunning views. If you are looking for a quiet and private place to relax with family away from the crowds, this is the stay you need to book. Place looked brand new and upscale. Takes a bit of a steep drive up the hill, and would recommend a 4x4 if traveling during winter or bad weather. We loved the drive in our wrangler, and it was part of the experience for us. We were glad we didn’t plan too many places to visit during the stay, so could spend a lot of time at the cabin. Highly recommend.

This was by far the best air bnb I’ve ever stayed at. The place was so clean it was amazing. The views. The hot tub all amazing. Mike was an extremely awesome host. Very responsive. Very helpful and very kind. This place 100/100

Had a last minute trip to get out of town for Spring Break and found this cabin available and enjoyed our stay. Short drive to Bryson City and the Great Smokey Mountain Railroad as well as visiting Cherokee and the nearby parks. The cabin was great, the drive up the mountain was easily obtainable in our vehicle and made the views worthwhile. The scenic hot tub overlooking the area was peaceful and the firepit with smores provided was a nice touch, very appreciative for the opportunity to stay.

This is a neat cabin! A few things to be aware of: the house is fairly close to another property, such that we could hear/see them when they were on their own back deck. In summer this may be less of an issue w tree coverage, but to be in such a /remote hilltop and yet still have 'neighbors' was disappointing. Also, the cabin is so new that it didn't feel quite finished. Only 1 closet which was FILLED w/ boxes of unassembled furniture. No towel rack in main bath. No night stands/bedside lamps, so impossible to read in bed. These may be remedied in the near future but we didn't have anywhere to put our clothes/suitcases and had to live out of bags on the floor which was disappointing. On plus side, the hottub is AMAZING, the two floors were wonderful (options!), and it was squeaky clean. Be careful on loft level stairs-- the stairs go up past the handrail and I took a tumble down them. Also, the road up is not for the faint of heart (but very doable in our Camry).

Great cabin and was as advertised. Be ready for a trek up the mountain, but it is worth it. Just secluded enough and has wonderful views. Host was very responsive with any questions. Definitely would recommend.

The cabin was perfect! The views were breathtaking and it exceeded our expectations! Looking forward to staying there again in the future!

The house was absolutely stunning! The views were exceptional and the host was extremely friendly. Plan on recommending this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway!

cabin had AMAZING views. mike was kind enough to give us clear instructions on how to access the cabin. my tesla was able to make it up and down the mountain easily, however i dont recommend getting into the area late at night as it gets very dark and the turns going up may be hard to see. other than that the cabin was beautiful with up to date appliances and plenty of space. would definitely stay again!

Great place and Mike is very accommodating. I look forward to our next visit

All I have to say is beautiful, breathtaking and marvelous. The views of this place is absolutely amazing. It’s on the top of the mountain on the edge. The hot tub is the best part just sitting there watching the view sipping some wine. The place was so clean inside and felt right at home. Mike checked in couple days before to send me a list of amenities and things to do. He texted me and checked in throughout the stay to see if we needed anything and to make sure we made it safe. Definitely worth coming back again. Loved it here!

Mikes place exceeded our expectations!! Absolutely gorgeous. One of the best b&be we ever stayed at

This cabin has beautiful views., and the interior is pristine with modern touches. I wish we could have stayed longer!

Great cabin! New and very clean. Well built. Nice host! Responds and helps if needed! Was great!

We have found our go-to mountain getaway. I’m from Colorado and this made me feel right at home. It is clean, organized, well decorated but minimalist, and private. You’re literally on top of the mountain, moonlight and stars, and the Smokey mountains put on a show all day. A great cabin to bring your pups along as well! Nice walk around the mountain with the pups or hikes nearby. Mike was extremely helpful and responsive to any questions I had. He is incredibly hospitable!

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The views were immaculate, and the cabin was exceptionally well-kept and spotless. The owner was incredibly kind and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed for a perfect getaway. Highly recommend!

El lugar fue maravilloso para relajarse y estar en paz , con una vista fascinante. Sin duda volveremos !!!!

The home and view are unbelievable. Beds and furniture are all very comfortable. The hot tub works perfect and has a beautiful view as well. Mike was great. Super nice and very responsive. Would love to stay here again.

Thoroughly enjoyed our time in Bryson city, will definitely be back in the near future

The cabin was nicely appointed with great views of the mountains, a nice hot tub, clean, and met our needs. The drive to the cabin was a bit harrowing as the road was one lane wide with two way traffic and a few blind curves on the drive up and down the mountain.

Wonderful cabin! Clean and beautiful views. The instructions were very clear! Definitely recommend and would come back!

Lovely spot in the mountains. I imagine when the trees are full of color it is like being in a painting. I love the winter views as well. While not colorful, you can see for miles and the night sky is amazing.

Can’t say enough good things about this cabin and Mike as a host. Would highly recommend!

Me and my family as well our little dog stay in Appalachian Peak Paradise , the house was so dreamy, just like it is described. The views are so worthy you get to see the mountains as well sunrise and sunset , Mike was really helpful and efficient, we lead us through everything so we can have a pleasant stay House was really clean and peaceful 100% recommend for your getaway! Hopefully we will get back soon !

Amazing crew, has absolutely no issues, and would stay there again in a heartbeat!

An awesome new cabin with everything we needed for a family break.

Beautiful cabin! Looking forward to booking again in the future.

We booked this cabing for a couple of days and it was amazing.The views and tranquility of the cabin made us feel one with nature. The house is very clean and the smell of the wood cabin makes the mountain experience complete.The host is very accommodating and goes out of their way to help you with any you need.I will defenetly come back to this mounrain oasis.

My family and I stayed at Appalachian Peak Paradise for one night and it was perfect! It is an absolutely beautiful, brand new cabin at the top of the mountain with spectacular views! The cabin was spacious, with comfortable furniture and beds, and it was spotless. Prior to our stay, Mike answered any question we had right away, and during our stay he let us know he was available should anything come up. It was a short drive to The Polar Express, which was our reason for this visit. We spent the evening back at the cabin, eating dinner and enjoying the amazing view. My parents and my in-laws joined us for this trip, and we all agreed that we will definitely be staying here again. Thank you Mike for having such a beautiful place to stay, and for being an accommodating host!
