Otto, NC Mountain Family Cabin w/breathtaking view, sleeps 10 access to river

Get some R &R at The Mountain Star. Be prepared for the jaw dropping view from the spacious deck and main level living area of this newly renovated cabin in Otto. Cabin sleeps 10, with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, gas fireplace, fire pit, huge wraparound deck, fully stocked kitchen, game room and lots of amenities. 2 King size, 1 queen, 1 full & two twin beds. Ample parking. Secure, secluded peaceful surroundings with wifi and large screen smart tv's. Property has access to a river and hiking.

As you cross the creek, and make your way up the drive to the large lodge style cabin I suggest taking in a big deep breath of the fresh mountain air, and be prepared to be in awe of the blooming mountain laurel in late spring, the hydrangeas in early summer and views as far as the eyes can see in both directions.

As you enter the front door you will be amazed at the massive wide open space inside. In front of you a vaulted ceiling with stone fireplace and large screen television, spacious cozy living room to your left, and dining table with kitchen bar to your right, along with a newly renovated kitchen stocked with brand new stainless appliances. Take it all in with walls and walls of windows so you don't miss a moment of that Mountain View. This main upper floor has a two newly remodeled and updated bathrooms, along with a King Bedroom, a Queen Bedroom that has its own balcony deck, and a bedroom with two twin tent beds. Multiple doors on this floor lead to the massive deck with outdoor dining, grill, and seating from different vantage points. Take a minute grab a seat and rock your worries away.

Downstairs to the bottom floor you will enter a grand suite with large screen tv, a couch, bar table with seating, a small coffee bar kitchenette with coffee maker and mini fridge, 2 beds, one king size and one full size, and a full bathroom. This floor is also available with step free entry from driveway.

Downstairs you will also find the newly converted fun space with combo game table, comfy reclining sofa with large screen tv, and bar table for hanging out and enjoying time spent with family or friends. The laundry room is also attached to the game room and available for use during your stay.

Enjoy the amazing mountain air and the great outdoors with lots of great spaces available for your enjoyment. We have provided a guide map for where you can hike as guests staying at the Mountain Star and where you can enjoy a little splash or picnic along the Little Tennessee river both right here on the property. Or sit back and relax on the deck where you can rock away all of your cares and listen to the birds sing.

In the back, on the bottom floor an outdoor space for your use and enjoyment, a fire pit with seating for everyone, with s'more's, stories and solitude on those refreshing crisp evenings we have here in the mountains.

You will get the R & R you need at Mountain Star.

Great Location and views. This property is located on a perfect spot with a mountain to yourself to enjoy and desconect. It is close to many attractions and conveniently near by stores and restaurants. I would recommend this rental to anyone who wants to enjoy the beautiful scenery and quiet. The only reason I did not give 5 stari is because the overall maintenance of the Cabin is not good. Some minor issues but nothing that prevented us from having a great time. IMHO it needs a facelift in term if furniture and overall maintenance but other than that I strongly recommend this property.

This is a beautiful and clean home. We had great communication with the host. However, if you need a handicap accessible home to the main floor, this home has access only to downstairs. This was not clear to me when I booked the home.

Great Property

We had a wonderful time visiting. The house fit our large family well. It was comfortable and had plenty of space for us all to enjoy. The kitchen had all that we needed to cook large family meals. The deck views were beautiful! We enjoyed walking the property, which has nice walking trails. It was easy to reach the host, who quickly addressed any questions we had.We will return!

I rented the house for my daughter’s wedding so we could all be together as a family, sons from Michigan and Missouri came. We stayed Friday night after the wedding rehearsal and left fairly early Saturday for the wedding which was about 10-12 minutes away. When we got back to the house after all the wedding celebration with the bride and groom the power was out. We gathered our things and left! My niece, one of the bridesmaids for the wedding got up to go to the bath on Friday night and because the doors are close together, she opened the wrong door and tumbled down the stairs. She had a slight concussion and bruises. If it had been an older person, it could have been much worse! This definitely needs to be addressed by the homeowner! Feedback and compensation is expected!

Family Christmas Vacation

This is probably the best equipped VRBO we have ever stayed in! If you have children, they will love their bedroom and all the things that go with it. We loved hanging out at the firepit and in the large family area with wall to wall windows. There were 8 of us staying and we had plenty of room for everyone. We would definitely recommend this property to families. Having a washer and dryer, 3 bathrooms, a cool downstairs living area and gameroom was great too!

We were 9 woman in the cabin this past weekend. Wow!! The views from 3 sides of windows. Spectacular. Furnishings were lovely, mattresses were comfortable. Appliances all worked, and the addition of coffee pods, creamer, treats, and trash bags were a welcome addition. I highly recommend for your next trip.

Beautiful property!

We really enjoyed our stay. This is a beautiful property surrounded by nature! It had everything we needed. The host thought of everything and everyone to make this a positive experience. There were hair dryers in every bathroom, baby and kids stuff in the kid's room. There was a gaming /play room. The kitchen that all all the appliances we needed. Our dog didn't get to come on this trip, but if he had, the host had thought of him too. The binder with attraction/ restaurant recommendaions was very useful. We enjoyed our trip to the various falls and towns nearby. We would reserve this property again.

Nature Oasis

Whether exploring the trails and creek on the property or the beautiful waterfalls and lookouts in the area, this was a beautiful and peaceful place to relax and enjoy time with family. The accommodations were wonderful with every modern convenience but sat perfectly at the top of the mountain secluded from the hustle and bustle of the fun mountain towns. It is a wonderful location to be able to rest and relax but still closely located to the towns, restaurants, shopping and attractions in the area.

Beautiful cabin

We had a wonderful family Thanksgiving at this cabin. The hilltop location was beautiful and the cabin itself was lovely. We had small children with us and could tell the host had put thought into what would make the stay easier when traveling with children. Would definitely stay there again if we found ourselves in Otto in the future.

Best experience ever

I jokingly told my family I wanted to leave a bad review just so this place is always available when we want to return… and we will return. We plan on making this place our yearly vacation spot. The pictures don’t do this place justice. We felt so safe at the house as you have to cross a private gated drive to access property. Bonus which we did not expect is the amount of property this house sits on. If you’re a nature lover this is your spot. Lots of walking trails, winding creek and waterfalls, access to large creek for fishing… this place has it all. Only slight negative is you can hear the sound of the highway at the house. It didn’t bother us at all, but if you are looking for complete seclusion that might be only draw back.

Beautiful views and great location

The cabin was on gorgeous property with amazing views. The main floor was well equipped and comfortable. However, for 3 women to stay in the basement, it was a bit cumbersome getting ready. The beds and space was great, but the bathroom was tiny with one small mirror and sink and no plug outlet. Trying to put on make up and fix hair was quite challenging in the basement. I think the coffee bar would be better served if there was a mirror & better lighting (the light kept turning off). Also, hooks on the wall for towels to dry, coats, purses and a bench to place suitcases would be nice. and/or piece of furniture with drawers for clothes. But other than that, it was a lovely place to stay and very well maintained.
