Dillsboro NC elevation starts at 1,975 feet. Think of this as your starting point. If you want to get a beautiful mountain view, you gotta climb some mountains. Mountain roads are typically gravel, steeper, narrower and curvier than you may be use to driving. This is all part of our charm. We do have one big hill to get up. It is gravel. We regularly drive a Hyundai Sonata up. While AWD and 4X4 vehicles make everything easier they are not required. Maintain an even speed (10mph) going up and you should have no issues. \*\*\*\*\*\*\*No refunds will be given due to weather.\*\*\*\*\* Items NOT provided: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, bar soap, items of a personal nature. We do supply hand soap, dish soap, and starter laundry items. Please note this is a SMOKE FREE property. Ashtrays are provided outside on the porch. If the home smells of smoke, you may lose part or all of your damage deposit for additional cleaning & odor removal. \*\*\*\*\*This property is located off US 74 in a curve. You will hear road noise while outside. While it is not obtrusive it is noticeable, but we think the convenient location makes up for this. \*\*\*\*\*This is a DOG friendly property, however we ask that you bring a kennel for your pet if you plan on leaving him/her alone at the house. We do charge a $45 non refundable fee for bringing your pet. If you are bringing your dog YOU MUST select the pet option at checkout. If you do not it will be taken from your damage deposit.
