Mountain View Orchard & Cider House Cafe
When it comes to Marc and Stephanie Cots, growing a business and living in a small town is what they know and love. The story starts over ten years ago when Marc visited the area with his motorcycle friends and fell in love with the mountains of Georgia and Tennessee. After meeting Stephanie and bringing her to the mountains, the couple pictured a life for themselves in the small town of McCaysville — as owners of The Cider House and Mountain View Orchard.

Marc and Stephanie want to raise their family in a small town, and they have a vision — making The Cider House and Mountain View Orchard the best kept secret in the mountains. Leaving the hustle and bustle of south Florida behind, they relocated to the peaceful mountainside orchard, where they are gradually making improvements and updates to the Cider House Cafe and Mountain View Orchard, owned by Joe and Mary Jo Dickey for over 50 years.  Visit them soon at the Cider House!
