Mountain Views• 2 King Suites Hot Tub Dog Friendly

Wake up to mountain views, sip your coffee on the covered porch, spend the day exploring Bryson City, Cherokee, or tubing the Tuckasegee River, then come home to soak in the hot tub beneath a sky full of stars.

Welcome to SunnySide Up, a cozy mountain retreat designed for couples, friends, and families looking to slow down, reconnect, and make lasting memories. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, attending a wedding, trying your luck at Harrah's Cherokee Casino, or simply escaping everyday life, you'll find everything you need right here.

Built in 2023, SunnySide Up combines the charm of a mountain cabin with the comforts of home. Our guests often tell us it's even better than they expected, and we can't wait for you to experience it for yourself.

🛏 Two Private King Suites

One of the things that makes SunnySide Up unique is that both bedrooms feature comfortable king beds with private en-suite bathrooms, making it perfect for two couples, friends traveling together, or parents who appreciate a little extra privacy.

Each suite includes:
• King bed
• Smart TV (bring your streaming passwords)
• Spacious private bathroom with large shower
• Hair dryer
• Fresh linens and towels

🍳 A Kitchen You'll Actually Enjoy Cooking In

We believe vacation kitchens should be more than a few random pots and dull knives.

That's why you'll find:

✔ Full-size appliances

✔ Dual Flex coffee maker (drip or K-Cups)

✔ Quality cookware

✔ Sharp knives

✔ Cooking utensils

✔ Dishes, glasses and serving pieces

✔ Starter coffee

✔ Basic spices and cooking essentials

Whether you're preparing breakfast before heading out or grilling steaks after a day of adventure, we've tried to think of everything.

🌅 The Porch You'll Never Want to Leave

This is where memories are made.

Start your mornings with coffee while the mountains wake up around you.

Spend the afternoon reading in a rocking chair.

End the evening with dinner outside, a soak in the hot tub, and conversations that last long after the stars come out.

You'll also enjoy:

• Large covered porch

• Mountain views

• Four-person hot tub

• Gas grill

• Fire pit with Adirondack chairs

• Marshmallow roasting sticks

A few starter pieces of firewood are provided, with additional bundles available nearby.

SunnySide Up welcomes dogs! Please be sure to select the pet option when booking so the pet fee is included. We also ask that dogs be kenneled if left alone in the cabin.

Hosted by Owners Who Care

When you stay with us, you're not booking with a large management company.

Hi! We're Chuck & Sandy.

We've been welcoming guests to the Smokies since 2018, and we genuinely love helping people discover this beautiful corner of North Carolina.

Need a restaurant recommendation?

Looking for an easy waterfall hike?

Want to know where the locals go?

Just ask.

We're always happy to help.

Many of our guests return year after year, and nothing makes us happier than becoming part of their family traditions.

The Boring Stuff (We Tried to Make It Less Boring)

Mountain Roads

You're coming to the Smoky Mountains, so yes...there are mountains! The last stretch includes one gravel hill. It's well maintained, and most guests have no trouble in a standard vehicle. We regularly drive it in a Hyundai Sonata. Just keep a steady speed (around 10 mph), and you'll do great. We recommend arriving before dark if it's your first visit.

Bringing Your Pup?

Dogs are welcome! 🐾

Please be sure to include them when booking so the pet fee is added correctly. We ask that dogs be kenneled if left alone in the cabin.

(Dogs only. Sorry...our insurance company isn't ready for vacationing llamas.)

What We Provide

We stock the cabin with many of the things you'll need:

✔ Hand soap

✔ Dish soap

✔ Starter laundry supplies

✔ A few coffee pods

✔ Basic spices

✔ Fresh linens & towels

✔ Hair dryer

You'll want to bring shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and any personal items.

Fire Pit

We'll provide a few starter pieces of firewood to get things going. Need more? Every nearby grocery store and gas station carries bundles.

Marshmallow roasting sticks are waiting for you!

👶 Little Travelers

Pack 'n Play and high chair available upon request. Just let us know before you arrive.

Smoke-Free Cabin

Smoking or vaping inside the cabin isn't permitted. Ashtrays are available outside on the porch. This is strictly enforced.

Road Noise

SunnySide Up is conveniently located just off US-74, making it easy to get to all the area's attractions. While you'll occasionally hear traffic when you're outside, the surrounding trees provide privacy, and most guests feel the convenience is well worth it.

Winter Weather

Mountain weather can change quickly. Please keep an eye on the forecast before traveling. Because weather is beyond anyone's control, we strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance if winter travel is planned.

We can't wait to welcome you to SunnySide Up.
