This year it came back in her lungs. She took a couple of weeks off from treatment to give her body a break and relax. This cabin provided the most perfect place for her to rest and enjoy the mountain air. Not to mention my father and I are lovers of the mountains as well. Dan and Shayla were the perfect hosts, great commutation and very kind. The cabin was beautifully decorated and clean. We had a fabulous stay. ##### Terri C.

Clean and stocked with some essentials. Firewood available for the fire place and fire pit. Be prepared to get groceries before you arrive as this cabin is very remote. We had no cell service for 8 miles surrounding the cabin. Getting inside was a little difficult as the key pad didn’t work and no cell service. We had to drive back out many miles to call and get the key code. Owners were wonderful. If you want to get off the grid and get away, this is your place. ##### Scott C.

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! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Miranda S. 23 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Miranda S.

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. ##### shannon s.

The cabin is cozy and comfortable. The kitchen is stocked. The bed is comfortable. The owners are friendly and easy to get ahold of. The location is the absolute best part. The cabin is secluded and quiet. We left the windows open day and night and enjoyed the mountain air and natural sounds. The views are beautiful. We barely scratched the surface on the many hiking trails nearby. We will most definitely rent this cabin again if given the opportunity! ##### LeAnn M.

If your looking for simple, peace, and privacy this is your place. Very easy to work with owners whom always are open for questions. Dont freak out with no AC. I am a florida boy and several years ago I stayed in the summer and saw no AC. Just open the windows and let the mountain do its job. They have a few fans and its more than comfortable in the evenings. Prettiest road in western NC is Wayah road which you take if going west off the mountain. Bryson city, Murphy, Cherokee, Franklin, Dillsboro is all relatively close. Great cabin! ##### Ken I.

It was our 46 anniversary. By far the best cottage we’ve rented. We both enjoyed the sunrises and sunsets. Watching the birds and the squirrels and chipmunks listening to. listening to the owls. The cabin, on arrival was very very clean. You felt like you were at home as you were entered the cabin, well supplied with everything that you might need when you enjoy the campfires . Although it rained with a covered porch. it was very pleasant.we will definitely stay again . ##### Roger D.

Plenty of room and well equipped. They are very responsive and will assist immediately if needed. We will be back. Driveway is intense with some treacherous parts. We used our 4 wheel drive, so just be aware. You could not have low lying vehicle or tall vehicle due to tree branches. It was part of the adventure, but very helpful to have our Jeep. ##### Traci M.

This cabin has become a new Favorite for our Mountain retreats. It was very well appointed with all the items of home and great attention to detail. Although the leaves are still on the trees; it has great views from the property. It is a close drive to some many various recreational spots which we were able to access and enjoy. We carried our two dogs and they both love the place also. I actually had an issue connected with the TV satellite, so I made a call to the owner. He answered immediately and graciously helped me through the process; problem solved. My partner and I were amazed at how clean and well kept the whole area around Nanatahalla is. Having stayed in vacation cabins across the Appalachian Mountains for over 30 years; this place is truly at the very top of the list. ##### Charles B. S. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### V Y., Kennesaw 26 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Mountain Tranquility I cannot say enough about this clean, quaint, cozy, everything mountain-wonderful, true log cabin. The hosts were more than welcoming and were very attentive during our stay. It was a nice touch for them to call the house phone to welcome us and also tell us goodbye, very personable and I enjoyed chatting with Dan. The cabin was perfect, the view was perfect, so many wonderful things in nature to do around you. We had no issue with the driveway and our average-sized SUV is not 4 wheel drive. It is nothing more than a narrow, dirt road leading to the most perfect cabin! You will not be let down choosing this property for your mountain getaway. Everything that you will possibly need is at your fingertips, as the hosts thought of everything! We look forward to coming back very soon! Thanks Dan and Sheyla! ##### V Y. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff M. 10 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for peace, quiet, and seclusion My wife and I were looking for a place to have a quiet and secluded retreat to celebrate our 30th anniversary. This was the perfect place for just that! The location is very remote, yet also close to many hiking trails, and other outdoor activities. We went to dinner in Bryson City one evening, which was not too far away. The cabin is very clean and stocked with plenty of dishes, small appliances, linens, towels, blankets, etc. All major appliances were in great working condition. The TV's in the living areas and bedroom are hooked up with DirectTV, but they were rarely used as we spent most of the time on the porch soaking in the amazing views and listening to the chattering birds. The hot tub was in perfect working condition and was greatly appreciated after a morning of hiking and for an evening soak. We were nervous about the driveway at first based on other reviews, but our Odyssey minivan made it up with no problems. Put it in low gear, take it slow and easy, and enjoy the climb as it takes you deeper and deeper into the woods with a wonderful refuge at the top of the road. It was easy and fun each time we traversed it after that! It is difficult to put into words the feelings of isolation, peace and calm that we felt during our stay. We didn't want to leave and we definitely want to return. If you are looking for a place to escape the stress of everyday life and relax surrounded by nature’s peace and quiet, this is the place! ##### Jeff M.

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. 😂 👻 ##### Jay P.
