Moose Creek Lodge

  • Summary:

    Dog-friendly Log Cabin with Private Deck, Firepit, Foosball



    The Space:

    Nestled in the Smoky Mountains, Moose Creek Lodge is a gorgeous log cabin with all the on-site amenities you've been hoping for. Boasting two levels of comfort and relaxation, this home is dressed with Native American decor & rustic furniture in the den. An outdoor firepit and deck are available for enjoying the cool evenings while toasting marshmallows with the kids. Speaking of the little ones, they'll love playing in the creek while the adults catch up over glasses of delicious wine.



    The home is also dog-friendly with a fenced in yard and gates on the front porch, so you can bring every member of the family to play. This home has three bedrooms on the first level. The first bedroom has a queen-size bed and access to the porch, the second has a twin-over-double bunk, and the third has a twin bunk. Upstairs, the main bedroom has a king-size bed, a comfy sitting area, and an en-suite bathroom.



    What’s nearby: This home is in the charming town of Sylva in the Great Smoky Mountains. It is in a quiet location just 10-minutes from dining and shopping. You will be near many options for exploring the outdoors with hiking, biking, and river rafting nearby. Pick up all the bait and tackle you need for today's fishing adventure at places like Tuckaseegee Fly Shop and Dream Catcher's Fishing. Things to know: Limited WiFi Full kitchen Dog-friendly (One dog max) Gravel road with a mild incline (not motorcycle accessible) Limited cell service and GPS 4WD/traction may be required in winter Please use the internet sparingly as the home is only allotted 30 gigs per month

Our stay at Moose Creek

The home was nice and had lots of space. We felt that it was time for some updates. As older folks, we felt that the upper entry could use some stone and step leveling to make it easier to get up on the porch. The road is narrow and very winding but accessible if you take slowly. Overall a good stay

Perfect getaway to unplug, relax, & unwind

This cabin was perfect for our family! 8 of us plus 1 dog! There was plenty of space for everyone to hang out! Plenty cookware, linens, and towels!! The kids had a blast playing in the creek finding craw dads and salamanders! If you’re looking for somewhere to just relax let go and let the kids play outdoors worry free this is your spot! No cell service was the wifi worked great for us! We will definitely be returning!!

Great house for large family

The cabin is large, plenty of room. Definitely needs some updates on lighting and shower fixtures. The hot tub needs maintenance, and different heating source needed downstairs. Property management/cleaning management also definitely needs improvement. This is a pet friendly house and it shows.

Quiet getaway weekend

The location is perfect for secluded quiet time. The road to get to the cabin can be a little difficult depending upon the vehicle you drive. The cabin is spectacular with lodge feel. Beautifully decorated and space for people toget away and spread out. Cell service is obsolete. WiFi is the only option for service but even then some cellular service is un obtainable. The hot tub was a great addition to the location. The beds are firm and the headboard in the lower bedroom can be difficult for some. The cleanliness of the cabin was spectacular. All the amenities that you need including a K cup coffee pot is provid I I love you, but you’re gonna have to slow down a little bit and give my meds time to. ed, but it’s not listed in the details.

Systemic issues need correction

Yes, we enjoyed our vacation because I have a great family. No - although the house is situated in a pleasant spot, convenient to area attractions (Cherokee), with wonderful neighbors (thank you Janice! and Rodney!) - we cannot recommend staying at the Lodge unless the owner makes important changes. We did not have A/C because the system is broken and needs to be fully replaced. There is no landline and no cell service anywhere in the neighborhood. Internet is limited and would not allow VOIP calls from cell phones. The washing machine circuit was not functional and I had to wash laundry in the sink. The room with twin bunk beds is not a bedroom since there is no egress window. We took all of our trash home because the garbage cans were filled up and trash was not collected on schedule. After our stay, I corrected the Google Maps location on behalf of the owners, because initially we got stuck down the wrong driveway. These are only the top issues of a 17 point list. After spending the vacation and several days afterwards chatting with VACASA, we did gratefully receive a partial refund. But the discount, nice lodge porch, and a bed for each family member, was not sufficient to make up for the systemic issues that need correction and that likely were present/known to VACASA prior to our arrival.

This property was great. The only issue we had was that sounds travel really easy from the upstairs living area to the bedrooms downstairs.

Great Family Getaway!

This was the perfect location to reconnect as a family. Time was spent walking the hills, doing puzzles, playing games, relaxing In the hot tub, and laughing by the campfire. The home had everything we needed to make it our home away from home, Thank you, Moose Creek Lodge owners and property managers!

If you’re looking for a rustic place where no one will bother you, this is your place. While the place can use some updates and repairs, it is very clean and comfortable. There is plenty of wildlife in the area, and if so chose, you can completely go off grid with the world as there is not any cell signal. There is WiFi that is available. Hot tub fits 4 comfortably. A small stream adds to the nature feel with the clean running water. The community road can be daunting though as it is has steep hills and is gravel, so be prepared and having a higher profile vehicle is necessary, not a lower riding car

Neat place to stay

At first it was challenging to navigate but once we did it the first time we were fine. Overall the property was nice and cozy. Issues were handled. Would stay again!
