Set back and secluded, this wonderful mountain home is waiting for your next peaceful getaway to the trees and fresh air of Cullowhee. There is no better place to recharge and take a break, as the picturesque mountain views from the furnished deck are just the thing to allow each guest to slip right into relaxation. Bring the whole family along, including the dog, as there is something for everyone to enjoy. The chef of the group can hop into the full kitchen and show off some of their best recipes with ease while still being a part of all the action in the open living area. The kids will love the detached game room complete with ping-pong, foosball, and pool tables. When the sun starts to dip below the trees, everyone can gather around the firepit and tell old stories as the stars come out.

What's nearby:
Though you won't want to leave this private oasis, venturing out to town is a short five-mile drive to stock up on groceries or meander along the charming streets of Cullowhee.

Head five miles farther and you will find the town of Sylva offering more shopping and hiking at Pinnacle Park!

We came to see our daughter who goes to WCU. She and her roommate stayed with us. It was good for them to get away from the dorm and eat some home Cooked meals. We hiked and took in the various sites. The house is perfect for our family.

Peaceful Hidden Gem

Angel View is by far one of the best vacation rentals that we have stayed at. The house and landscaping are immaculate. All rooms of the house are spacious and the furnishings are well maintained. The kitchen is well stocked with essential cooking items. Our favorite area to stay on was the porch area to listen to the stream nearby and to watch the hummingbirds feed. We definitely will plan a return trip to Angel View!

The house served us well. It was clean and a good location. The only draw back was that it was 55 degrees when we checked in and it took awhile for house to warm up. I would suggest cleaning crew turn up heat in winter months for incoming guests.

Hidden Gem of Cullowhee, NC

The house was immaculate and exactly as pictured on the website. It was cozy and comfortable, just as we had hoped when we booked it for the weekend! We enjoyed the rustic feel of the cabin. The game room was the biggest "win" for our family and friends, as we were able to enjoy quality time with our children (ages 18-22) without having to travel to town for entertainment. We especially loved the woodburning fireplace in the living room, where we were able to make s'mores while watching movies together. We were extremely pleased with the Wi-Fi service! Our younger family members were all able to use their smartphones, and we were excited to have access to streaming services for movies and phone apps so high up in the mountains. Thanks so much!! We will definitely be booking this "hidden gem of Cullowhee" again!!

Our mountain happy place

This was my family's 4th summer visiting Angel View. This place never gets old, and I can feel my worries melt away as we approach the mountain house. The unobstructed view of the mountains is spectacular, and can be enjoyed from the front porch or main living room. I loved sitting on the porch, watching for hummingbirds, chipmunks, and other wildlife that visited. The house also has a fun game room with a pool table, Foosball, ping pong table, and board games. There is a fire pit with seating right outside the house, and we enjoyed several evenings sitting by the fire. Angel View gives you the feeling of being in the middle of nature, but is conveniently located to many attractions. We visited Asheville, Highlands, where we rode a mountain coaster, and Lake Glenville, where we rented a boat and went tubing. High Falls and Dry Falls are two of our favorite waterfalls, also within a half hour drive from the house. My family of six AND dog love this place!

Recent stay

Good: House was clean and nicely equipped. Lots of games. Plenty of room although 1 twin bed was in a large closet inside another bedroom with 1 queen and another twin bed. A little odd but worked out ok. Beautiful bathroons complete with linens and all toiletries. Close to wcu which was our main reason for staying. Also close to other destinations...public park, waterfalls, etc. Not so good: Sketchy drive to get to the house. Most people would need a utility vehicle to get there after turning off main road. I would recommend arriving during the daytime as roads and driveway are not lit. Mostly single lane drive shared with other properties and loaded with potholes dips and loose material from erosion. Dog poop throughout the yard.

Nikki's birthday getaway!

There are a few extraordinary perks here! The view was great. We loved the home providing games, including all ages. Entertainment for the entire family meant less back and forth. To me, I appreciate those thoughtful gestures. From having a supply of pantry staples to an overall clean home, minus the bedding has dog hair upstairs on bed and on bed, pillow downstairs We won't complain much. The home was a hotel with lots of activities, linen, toiletries, without the multitude of noise & elevator waits. Our family spoke highly of the details; cleaned kitchen, window sills, ceiling fans, floor, bedrooms, fully stocked with dishes, full kitchen, and the amazing view. The wraparound rocking chair porch was very comfy. The minor setback was not being able to enjoy the fire pit due to the wet wood. That maybe because of our stay, chosen dates. Did I mention the entire first floor garage was a game room? We all had fun! Thank you for your hospitality. We will return.

Wonderful Getaway, With a Few Exceptions

Beautiful home in the mountains, well stocked, lots of room for the whole family. Downside - road to home is pretty rough, take it slow. 2nd part of driveway is paved but crumbling near the house and is very steep. I dont see how they can get 3 cars parked as advertised. Front screen door does not close at all. Also, area rug just inside the front door blocks the door from opening and bunches up creating a fall hazard just inside doorway. Be aware that the front door does automatically lock, so that you don't accidentally get locked out without the code. House temp is set at 55 degrees so it takes quite a bit of time for the house to warm up. Wood burning fireplace does help considerably. However, we were only left one firestarting log, so on day 2 it was very difficult to get a fire started with the damp wood from the week's rain. Propane heater does not work in the gameroom, as many people have commented before. I would think they should have this fixed by now. We did contact Vacasa, as they are who the home is actually listed under. Not impressed at all with their response to issues. Overall, we would probably stay again but only if it was warmer. It is close to the WCU Campus and grocery store.
