    Our Home Away From Home

    May 08, 2013

    My husband and I have been going to Mountain Brook for 5 years now. We got engaged there, have gone back for wedding anniversaries and other times we just want to get away from it all! The grounds are rich with foliage and nestled into the mountains, the cabins are rustic and cozy and the owners make you feel completely at home. I wouldn't stay anywhere else for my mountain getaway!

    Kick back and enjoy

    November 27, 2012

    These cabins, Circa 1930, are the original. They are quiet, quaint, and enjoyable. The best part is the owners. They treat you like family. The cabins are updated, but the fireplace and the brook running outside your bedroom makes you feel like you went back in time.

    First time Great Experience

    October 24, 2012

    Cottages are old, but so are we, so they met and exceeded what we were looking for. The cookies were great but we had to make them ourselves. On the otherhand, they provided what we needed. Personal attention and service should be a ten instead of five. Hope to return again, especially in the fall season.

    Girls weekend over Labor Day

    October 21, 2012

    My niece from SC, my sister and I from PA, met at Mountain Brook for a weekend getaway. Stayed there previously several years ago with my sister and my daughter for an entire week. The location is perfect, peaceful, and exactly what we were looking for. The views and the mountain roads are amazing. Took a day trip to Helen, GA, a beautiful drive and interesting diversion. Hope to go back again, next time we'll take the motorcycles along like we did the first time.

    Wonderful mountain getaway!

    October 20, 2012

    We were able to stay in the "romantic" cabin - and it was amazing! The owners are all three welcoming, kind and helpful. The view in mid-October was so stunning. Each morning we sat on our porch, sipping hot coffee and enjoying the splendor of the fall leaves. The fireplace was so perfect as it not only kept us warm, it was a beautiful accent to the room. Don't miss the hiking trail on the site as there are some beautiful natural things to see, and it's a nice walk without being too challenging. We had such a wonderful time, it was hard to leave to come back to Florida. But when we left - we said - we'll see you again soon!

    A night in the woods!

    October 07, 2012

    The cabin and host were just wonderful! We really enjoyed the little town of Sylva. Dog bowls and bed were provided for our Java as well. Nice back to nature experience!

    WCU Parents' Weekend 9/21-9/23/12

    September 25, 2012

    Walked into our cabin and was instantly transported to childhood memories of my great aunt's house. If cinnamon rolls had been baking in the oven, I might have begun to cry.

    Innkeeper Response
    Let us know next time and we'll have hot cinnamon rolls waiting for you - and a box of Kleenix for your tears, too!

    Weekend Get Away

    September 16, 2012

    My wife and I wanted a weekend away and we chose to visit the Cherokee NC area. We chose Mountain Brook Cottages because of it's proximity to Cherokee and the fact that they had a cottage with a sauna and a whirlpool tub. We found the cottage to be clean but the interior dated. That is not that big of a deal as we were out exploring the area all day. The staff at Mountain Brook Cottages was very friendly and helpful and offered some great suggestions on local dinning. If you are in the area and need a clean, comfortable place to stay I would recommend Mountain Brook Cottages.

    Innkeeper Response
    Yes, while it's true...some of our furnishings reflect an earlier time, less demanding time...our cleanliness really shines and we pride ourselves on our guest services. We've owned and operated Mountain Brook Cottages for more than 32 years and if there's something about our area that we don't know, we will find it out!
