About this property

Cozy mountain cabin with amazing views, year round hot tub and pet friendly

The mountain log cabin is a beautiful retreat. From the deep porch, you have lovely long range mountain views and can watch the sunrise with a mug of coffee. It's in a wooded, peaceful setting surrounded by nature, yet close to nearby activities and shopping. This is a one bedroom, one bath, cozy cabin. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots/pans, dishware, etc. A fire pit and year round hot tub adds to the comfort of your retreat. The comfy bed has ultra-soft linens and towels, and the cabin has plush robes for your nights in front of the fire pit or after a nice soak in the hot tub. We also have Roku, free Netflix, a DVR and a radio/CD player and free wifi for your enjoyment. Sit on your porch and listen to the sounds of nature, watch the wildlife, or see the beauty of the mountains change color throughout the day. In the evening, you will spot rabbits, turkeys and ground hogs, as well as the fireflies dancing in the grass. Enjoy the onset of dusk with a glass of wine in front of a crackling fire. We are pet friendly and have trails on the property for walking your furry friend.

The Town of Waynesville is a great place to visit in any season. Whether one is looking to explore the mountains,, gaze at the natural splendor of fall leaf changes, or view snow covered mountains during the winter, the town offers such vacationing for any preference. With its proximity to the natural wonders of The Great Smoky Mountains National Park as well as the famous Blue Ridge Parkway, the town is truly a place of recreational opportunity. Perhaps one of the town’s greatest assets is its unique and lively Main Street. From its local restaurants and breweries serving up local options, to its diverse stores, Waynesville offers attractions and shopping for all.

Let the Dream Cabin and it's private, peaceful setting rejuvenate you.

Cozy cabin

Love the Smoky Mountains and this cabin allowed us to travel all over on our motorcycle. We did have to trailer it on and off the mountain due to gravel road. Close to town. Great restaurants. Big comfortable bed. My husband loved the jacuzzi.

Relaxing, comfortable stay

Our stay was excellent. We enjoyed everything about the cabin. It has everything you could ask for- cooking essentials, comfy furniture, porch w/mountain views, fire pit...it has it all. And the property is beautifully maintained. We saw bunnies, wild turkey, and a groundhog (we think). The short trail behind the cabin was especially nice to explore with our dogs. We would stay again!

Best Stay Ever

Great cabin, super comfortably king bed, very private, super clean. All the kitchen supplies you would need (we cooked the entire stay) even supplied 1 dozen fresh farm eggs. Really good coffee (not a Keurig but a real coffee pot). Very pet friendly. Definitely one of our favorite places we have stayed at.

Cozy Mountain Stay!

I was solo traveling with my dog and Judy’s place was great. Convenient to town, hiking and the National Park. The cabin was cozy and safe! Even got eggs from the onsite chickens. Only thing I will mention, is there are a two cabins on the property and the other one is close to this cabin. You do get the noise of their comings and goings. Overall, very much enjoyed my stay and will be back!

We love this property and the area. The cabin is cozy and so clean. The porch is so nice and faces a beautiful mountain with lovely views of the woods. The owners are right there and help whenever needed. Don’t forget the hot tub that makes the place complete.

Beautiful location

We stayed for a weekend for a family wedding and didn't want to do the hotel thing. We also had 2 labs. We were in dream cabin -- it's exactly as pictured but the views are better than expected. The dogs loved the area to play fetch. It was easy parking and turn around. The hot tub was to die for - sitting in the tub and looking out over the valley was just what the mind and body needed! Communication was swift with the homeowner. Thank you for a great stay!

Perfect little dream cabin

The Dream Cabin was wonderful. It was very clean and cozy, perfectly spacious for two people and our dog. The hot tub was running and the heat was on when we got there. The fresh eggs were very much appreciated. The king bed and the heater in the bedroom made for a great nights sleep after a long day of sight-seeing. I loved that this cabin is very centralized and a few minutes from town but it’s in a very private quiet location surrounded by trees so you can escape all the noise at the end of the day. We will definitely be back next year! Thank you for being such great hosts!

About the host

Hosted by Judy Howell

Host profile image
John and Judy Howell were working for the government in the DC area, and got married in narby Maggie Valley, NC. They fell in love with the area and began to look for property. They feel completely blessed to have found this beautiful slice of heaven, which they named Howells at the Moon Farm.

Why they chose this property

This property is so unique. It was an old farm and in the same family for a hundred years until early 2000. It's on 13 acres, surrounded by fields and forests, with spectacular mountain views. You will feel like you are isolated in nature, but you are in fact minutes away from towns, shopping and activities. It is, truly, the best of both worlds. This property has hiking trails, long range mountain views, mountain streams, and privacy.

What makes this property unique

From the front porch of the cabin, you can sit with a glass of wine or hot cup of coffee, and gaze at the mist in the fields or the spectacular view of the mountains. Listen to the sounds of nature and watch the fireflies dance in the evening. You will forget how hectic life can be when everything here is so tranquil. The cabin is cozy and comfortable; it's charm and hominess are to be enjoyed by couples, partners, friends,
honeymooners, and folks looking to get away. The bed is comfy, outfitted in soft bed linens. After a day spent hiking or shopping, you will look forward to snuggling up in your nest. The living room has games and cards, but also has Roku TV, free Netflix and Wi-Fi
for times when you want to 'plug back in'. You will love staying here; it's like your home away from home. The property will delight you and renew your spirit.
