Welcome to The Toasted Marshmallow, a sweet little mountain hideaway where relaxing comes naturally and the stars really show off at night. If your idea of a perfect getaway includes soaking in a hot tub under the open sky, roasting marshmallows by the fire, and waking up to cool mountain air… congratulations. You just found your cabin.
This charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath mountain retreat is tucked peacefully into the hillside and makes the perfect place to relax after a day of adventure. Whether you're here for waterfalls, casinos, hiking trails, or simply doing absolutely nothing in a hot tub, this cabin delivers the full Smoky Mountain experience.

A Friendly Mountain Heads-Up
When we say mountains… we really mean mountains.
Dillsboro starts around 1,975 ft elevation, and mountain roads are often gravel, curvy, and a bit steeper than city roads. It’s all part of the charm.
There is one larger gravel hill on the way to the cabin. We regularly drive a Hyundai Sonata up it without issue. Just keep a steady 10 mph pace going up and you should be fine. AWD can help but is not required.
If your vehicle has traction control, turning it off while climbing can help.
