HOT TUB, Swimming/Fishing Lake, Mountain Views
The Happy Appalachian
The Happy Appalachian mountain cabin on Birch Trail is overlooking Tobacco Branch Valley and a beautiful mountain lake. Take in the view from the deck or enjoy a wood burning fire or a soak in the hot tub while relaxing from the day’s adventure. It is only minutes to Lake Fontana, Nantahala whitewater rafting, Tsali mountain bike trail system, Cataloochee Ski Area, the famous Dragons Tail motorway, Harrah’s Casino, Smoky Mountain National Park and the quaint mountain town of Bryson City.
This Tobacco branch retreat has 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths with all the amenities you need to feel right at home, including a full kitchen and a gas grill. Three TVs and an XBox One with several games for all ages are perfect for relaxing day in. Rental includes access to the community lake with dock and pavilion, excellent for fishing and swimming.
The owners of the Happy Appalachian welcome bikers, however there is about 1/4 of a mile of gravel road, with an incline, to get to the cabin. In addition, the paved driveway is fairly steep.

Great experience
Everything was as stated and the stay was great. Location is perfect in my opinion, just out of several sites that took 20min at most to get to. The views were very nice and peaceful from the cabin. The driveway is a little challenging but not an issue.
Would stay here again.

Relaxing Getaway
We had a lovely stay. The cabin was close to everything we wanted to see. We took advantage of all there was to do in the short week we were there. Smoky Mtn Railroad Moonshine train, ziplining at Nantahala Gorge and boat rental at Almond Marina. We loved the hot tub at the cabin and relaxing top deck. Driveway a little tricky.

Beautiful mountain retreat!
My roommates, partner, & I had the pleasure of staying at this cabin for a short weekend getaway while attending the Classic Hondas on the Dragon event earlier this month & I wish every day since then that I could be back there! The rooms were coz & we loved the amenities (hot tub & propane fire table for s'mores) & enjoyed the common areas a great deal. Brooke, the host, was incredibly kind & communicative throughout & before our stay about any information we needed & I truly appreciated it so much! Hopefully, we'll be able to book again for next year's trip 😉

The hot tub was okay, we had to add water, it was so low. The cabin was cute, old for sure, but definitely needs a cleaning. There were spiders webs everywhere. The last morning a spider crawled across my husband's face while still laying in the bed. Investigated, the whole under the bed,spider webs galore! Same in windows.The washing machine doesn't work, either. Overall was an okay experience. We made due and made it work.

Police women get away
I was very disappointed in the cabin it was nothing that I seen on line. We are all police women you gets away once a year to the mountains. We try to stay in different areas each year. The parking was horrible, when trying to get luggage in. It was a lot smaller than we thought it would be. And there was not enough toilet paper for 6 females!! But we made the best of it. Thanks for sharing your space with us. !!!

3 Night Stay
Our stay started out with not being able to get into the cabin because of a lock malfunction, but once inside we found a pretty nice little cabin although not the cleanest we have visited in the past, it has issues that needs to be addressed like some pretty week looking boards on the deck, grill has to be light by hand, no ac in the living room area, not enough bathroom supplies, no dish towels or dish clothes that we found, had a couple bathroom flushing issues, could not get the washer to work, it filled with water but that's all it would do. I rate the cabin itself a 8 out of ten and the amenities maybe a 6 out of ten, although we had a great time just visiting with family.

Not bad, but has little issues
The house was gorgeous, and a great location! However, the house had a musty smell on arrival, the coffee pot needs to be replaced, the grill turn on switch was not working, the Wi-Fi password was different than the one provided, no cabin book to reference, not really any views due to the beautiful trees, and the neighbors were very unfriendly. Make sure you have four wheel drive for the driveway. Getting in and out was questionable the first day, but easier to achieve after the initial shock…lol. Overall the stay was amazing! The hot tub and fishing at the private lake was an enjoyable treat, and the views to all the locations were absolutely stunning!!!!

Peaceful and fun family time
The Happy Appalachian was just what we were looking for. It was peaceful, relaxing and restful. My kids enjoyed fishing and swimming in the private lake. The neighbors that we ran into were very, very welcoming and friendly. There was plenty of space for our family of 6 to spread out. The hot tub was lovely.
Several of the reviews mentioned that the cabin was in need of a good cleaning. We thought the cabin was as expected for a rustic cabin on a dirt road. All of the appliances worked for us as well.
The cabin was about 40 minutes from the southern end of Smoky Mountain NP. We were surprised by the distance but very grateful for the peaceful area especially after driving through the craziness of Gatlinburg.
Overall a great stay.

Mountain Vacation
It was just lovely being in the mountains and having such nice views of the lake.
I had no response from the contact person after repeated tries (messaged and called). The home is in general disrepair … screens broke or torn, carpet old, deck boards starting to rot, windows dirty, leaky sinks, toilet kept running after flush, dryer didn’t work, hot tub felt slimy …. it’s really too bad because it’s such a great location … so close to all the most beautiful places on earth.

Long weekend with friends
This home was the perfect size for our weekend with another couple, and the location was great. The property has so much potential that doesn’t seem to be taken advantage of. Upon arrival, we had issues with the door lock, when I contacted the host about my husband replacing it, she was contacting the property manager, and we never heard back. The house seemed clean enough, but there were cobwebs in lots of places, and lots of lightbulbs out, a leaky faucet in one bathroom, and several deck boards are rotting. The driveway offers it’s own challenges, especially with a friend with a bum knee…
We did enjoy the view of the ducks in the pond. Would definitely not say we wouldn’t stay here again. Just wish the owners would bring this charming cottage up to its full potential!

Rustic mountain hime
This rustic home in the woods had plenty of space for our family of six. We loved reading out on the deck, and my husband caught several fish in the pond below. The hot tub was nice, and there is a washer and dryer in the attached garage. The narrow gravel roads and steep driveway were a little tricky, but we managed with a minivan.
We did have an issue that came up with the house (due to previous tenants not following the rules.) Brooke was quick to respond and work out a solution that we found satisfactory.
This house has games, books, movies, and a guitar as well as dishes and cookware. If you're staying more than a weekend, you'll want to bring extra toilet paper and soap.

Could’ve been better
The location is great, we have stayed in this neighborhood before. Relaxing in the hot tub after long days of hiking was amazing! The cabin could use a good cleaning, some updating and new appliances. The dryer was not working when we were there. We reached out to the host through the app, phone calls & texts and received no response. We also called the local guy that was listed as a contact and he said he hasn’t worked on the property in 2-3 years. Not having a dryer for a week was not fun. There was no where to hang clothing and not many hangers. Because of the lack of response I cannot recommend this rental.
Pros:
Very quiet neighborhood
Plenty of space for the family to hang out
Bedroom and bathroom on every level
New hot tub
Cons:
Needs a good spring cleaning
Beds not the greatest
Appliances need to be replaced
This property is so close to being a top rental. It is decorated adorably, the couch is super comfy, the split space is awesome.

Not what was expected or paid for.
The cabin could be great. But very dirty upon arrival. I thought perhaps the handful of poor reviews were just people nitpicking as they sometimes do. However immediately noticed the beds had been slept in with all linens on the floor and dirty. It looks like it hasn’t been vacuumed in ages. There were dishes in the sink. There were food crumbs all over the floor in the kitchen. Found two cockroaches. Amongst many other bugs. When messaging them about the dirty linens to see where we could find clean ones so we could get to bed after our 12.5 hour drive, we never received a response from host. I give two stars because the property could be very nice. It’s a beautiful home in a beautiful quiet location in need of some real good TLC. But spending good money and getting shafted on a clean place is insane. I paid a cleaning fee for the filthiest place I have ever stayed. Hopefully the host gets it together and doesn’t continue pocketing renters cleaning fees and never cleaning a thing. I understand sometimes things come up and happen, but this level of not caring about guests and cleanliness is unacceptable.

Excellent getaway
We arrived late in the evening and the drive up in the dark was kinda scary, but the directions were excellent. The cabin is absolutely everything advertised. It was myself, my mom, my daughter and son and his gf there for my moms 72 birthday. Just a 4 day getaway. The 3 separate floors worked great! We used the hot tub every night and ventured out into town (which was much closer than I thought, only 10 or 15 minutes) for groceries. We also traveled the blue ridge parkway and enjoyed a night in with a fire and board games. Everything we needed was provided. The only issue was regulating the temperature. The giant (amazing) windows make the main floor a little cold when it's cold outside. Also the trash was a little confusing. The guest book says one thing and the sign in the kitchen says another. Overall, I would not only rent this cabin again, but we loved it so much we joked about wondering if it was for sale.
