Romantic Getaway! Hot Tub & Mountain Views, King Bed

Wake up to mountain views, spend the day exploring the Smokies, then come home to relax in the hot tub beneath a sky full of stars. Hot Cocoa is a cozy retreat designed for couples, anniversaries, honeymooners, and anyone looking to slow down for a few days.

Featuring a comfortable king bedroom, oversized shower, fully stocked kitchen, private hot tub with robes and slippers, fire pit with twinkle lights, and a large covered porch, you'll have everything you need for a memorable stay.

Dog friendly and conveniently located just minutes from Cherokee, Bryson City, Harrah's Cherokee Casino, hiking, waterfalls, tubing, and the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad.

**Unwind. Recharge. Repeat.**

Some vacations are filled with schedules.

This isn't one of them.

Wake up slowly with coffee on the covered porch as the mountains come to life around you. Spend the day exploring waterfalls, hiking trails, tubing the Tuckasegee River, or wandering the shops of Bryson City and Cherokee. Then return to your private cabin, light a fire, slip into the hot tub, and watch the stars appear overhead.

Welcome to **Hot Cocoa**, a cozy mountain retreat thoughtfully designed for two. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, honeymoon, birthday, attending a wedding, trying your luck at Harrah's Cherokee Casino, or simply escaping everyday life, you'll find everything you need to relax and reconnect.

Guests consistently tell us the cabin is even better than they expected. From the oversized shower and comfortable king bed to the well-stocked kitchen and thoughtful extras, we've created the kind of place we'd want to stay ourselves.

Rest and Relax
The spacious bedroom features a comfortable king-size bed with soft linens, cozy pillows, a Smart TV, and sliding glass doors that open directly onto the covered porch.

The bathroom features a large walk-in shower with plenty of room to get ready for the day or freshen up after hiking, sightseeing, or exploring the area.

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

Mountain roads are part of the adventure! The final stretch includes one well-maintained gravel hill. We regularly drive it in a Hyundai Sonata, and most guests have no trouble in a standard vehicle. We recommend arriving before dark if it's your first visit.

Dogs are welcome! Please include them when booking so the pet fee is added correctly. We ask that dogs be kenneled if left alone.

We provide hand soap, dish soap, starter laundry supplies, coffee, basic spices, fresh linens, towels, robes, slippers, and a hair dryer. Please bring your own shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and personal items.

Smoking or vaping is not permitted inside the cabin. Ashtrays are provided outside.

Hot Cocoa is conveniently located just off US-74, making it easy to reach Bryson City, Cherokee, and the area's top attractions. Because the cabin sits farther back from the road, outside road noise is typically minimal and only occasionally noticeable. Most guests appreciate the easy access and peaceful setting.

Mountain weather can change quickly, so we recommend purchasing travel insurance if traveling during winter months.

High Chair and Pack and Play available UPON REQUEST.

Decorated for Christmas around Mid-November

We can't wait to welcome you to Hot Cocoa.
