Smoky Mountain Holiday Home with Hot Tub!

Enjoy the privacy and beauty of the Smoky Mountains in our 3 bedroom mountainside cottage. Glenglassaugh House is near the south gate of the GSMNP and offers a furnished wraparound porch, huge master suite, rooftop deck, hot tub, firepit, and more!

Our mountain cottage includes two bedrooms plus a master loft suite opening onto a rooftop deck complete with a mountain view. There is an outdoor hot tub on the porch. Downstairs, you'll find a full kitchen and stone gas fireplace. Enjoy the natural view, outdoor dining, or even watching a movie on the furnished wraparound deck.

Glenglassaugh House is nestled in the heart of the North Carolina Smokys at an elevation of approximately 2,600 feet. We're only a short drive from the county seat in Sylva, the artist haven of Dillsboro, and the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad. Excellent fishing, tubing, and horseback riding can be found for locally for the adventurous. A slightly farther drive takes you to the Casino and the gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Enjoy old world charm here in the Smoky Mountain highlands of North Carolina. The house is situated privately, with unobstructed sunrise views of the Savannah Creek valley below. We are located deep in the mountains of Western NC, some of the oldest mountains on earth. They have deep roots, and the iron in the soil has rusted over millions of years, coloring everything about the area, and that includes the fixtures of the house and the water. We do try our best to remove the harmless orange stains from anything in contact with water, like the toilet and dishwasher, but the NC character just seems to want to stick. Please also understand that the house is in a rural area and surrounded by trees. Wildlife is everywhere and despite frequent cleaning and maintenance, we cannot guarantee a wildlife free experience. Spiders, stink bugs, ladybugs, and even small creatures are endemic to the area and may make an appearance. We cannot grant refunds based on sightings of these or similar endemic flora or fauna at, in, or around the property. And please don’t feed the neighborhood bear.

Safety and security are important to us. The house is protected by a Ring alarm system, including a Ring doorbell and smart lock to assist in check in.

The house has a number of thoughtful amenities for your comfort including:
Wireless Wi-Fi
X-Box S console
Television provided by FireTV
DVD/Blu-Ray
Towel warmer near the hot tub
Gas grill
Plentiful outdoor seating on porch
Porch swing
Outdoor fire pit with seating
Keurig and drip coffee maker
Use of bathrobes
Brand name hotel size toiletries
Alarm clock with wireless phone charger
USB charging stations
Keyless entry
Ceiling fans indoors and on porch
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

We had an issue on arrival that was resolved quickly and professionally. Otherwise the cabin was clean and beautiful, with a great view from the porch. I was excited to see all the games but we didn’t have time to play them.

Relaxing Getaway

We loved this cabin! Beautiful views and the fire pit was a hit. We enjoyed 5 nights and relaxed every single day. We visited Dollywood, Bryson City, Cherokee, Maggie Valley, and Dillsboro. In Cherokee, we had to come to a complete stop because there were about 50 Elk crossing! Great trip! I would recommend this property to everyone!!

Cozy Cottage Getaway

Overall very happy with our decision to stay here. Clean, cozy and has everything you want for a fall trip. Hot tub right outside second floor bedroom with great view. Nice firepit area and east facing balcony overlooking mountains. Convenient driving distance from several nice areas such as downtown Sylva, Maggie Vally and Franklin.

Very nice mountain getaway

Very nice mountain home. The drive up the road to the house is steep like most of the homes in this area. The water is well water so they provide a PUR water filter in the fridge, which is great.

The Perfect Mountain Cabin

We had to make last minute arrangements due to a VRBO “snafu” with another property we had rented. We struck gold by finding thIs gem. The host was extremely responsive and accommodating and once we arrived we didn’t want to leave. The view from the huge , wrap around porch was nothing short of breathtaking, with plenty of seating to take it all in. The beds were all super comfy and the well stocked kitchen and very nice gas grill made it easy to want to stay in and enjoy the serenity. This will be our first choice property when we return to Sylva, hopefully soon!

A wonderful stay

The property has an incredible view. It was very clean and perfect for the two of us and our dog. The location is perfect for visiting Dillsboro and Sylva. If you have an event at Betty's Creek, this is a short drive down the mountain and up the next. We would love to stay here again.

Great Experience

The house was just as advertised. We loved the hot tub, wrap around porch with a grill and even a tv out there. Lots of seating on the porch, views were great, house was clean and well stocked. Great fireplace inside and fire pit outside. The host Mary was super helpful and very quick to respond if I had a question. Sylvia is close, 10-15 min drive with plenty of stores and restaurants. Highly recommend this property

Amazing Mountain Escape

Loved this home. Very clean and comfortable. The location was perfect for us as we wanted to explore the Great Smoky Mountains. Close to some really good restaurants. The best was the porch… drinking coffee looking at the beautiful mountains and listening to the birds. The hot tub on the upper deck was a nice touch especially after hiking all day. Highly recommend!!

Perfect Getaway to the Smokies

The house is in perfect condition, and it's probably the cleanest place I've ever rented from Vrbo. Mary, the host, was responsive and easy to reach, and she made sure everything was right. If you decide to stay in, the house has all the amenities you could want, and if you're going out, it's close to the charming towns of Sylva and Dillsboro, and just a little further, Bryson City. I think they offer much better experiences than a tourist destination like Gatlinburg. Just a word of advice, I had no problem getting to the house in August in a FWD sedan, but I imagine it's a different story during the winter, so get in touch with the host. Also, if you plan on using the hot tub, set the temp as soon as you get to the house and give it some time. Your patience will pay off :-) I'm glad I chose Glenglassaugh House for my vacation!

Just fabulous, would love to rent again!

The house is just gorgeous, and there are tons of amenities. Much more available not only on site but also specifically in the kitchen than many of the rentals we’ve stayed in before. The house is beautifully decorated as well, and very cozy. View off the front porch is amazing. We would definitely love to stay again!
