The house is in a private community tucked away in the mountains, with neighboring farmland. Each house is several hundred feet away from the next one and is typically quiet and private. Be sure to respect neighbors’ desire for privacy and a quiet neighborhood!

Each home in the neighborhood has its private driveway and parking -- no street parking is allowed, so if you have any concerns about your vehicle fitting in the parking area, be sure to check with us ahead of time!

The best views come with a climb! The driveway is steep, but any standard vehicle will have no trouble during spring/summer/fall. By the time your stay is up, you'll be a pro coming and going! Prius? No sweat. Minivan? Absolutely. Truck? No problem. Motorcycles/vehicles with trailers? I sure hope you know what you're doing! Have concerns or questions? Just ask - we'll do our best to help you out!

Smoky Mtn Retreat July 16-19 2024
Very nice house, kids loved it. ages 9,8,6 They liked playing fuseball and the hot tub. Easy to use hot tub. Everything was spotless when we checked in. Anu is a very responsive host, messages all answered quickly 5 miles winding road to driveway takes about 10 minutes to drive it, but it is a good full 2 lane road. Driveway is steep for about 200 ft but any car can make it up. Sufficient parking for 3 cars including parking by the front door. All 3 bedrooms and fold out coach were used and a/c was fine. House has an excellent washer/dryer. The purpose of our trip was primarily to visit the Cherokee Indian Village in Cherokee NC. It is an unique learning experience for the kids. I took my kids 30 years ago, my older grandkids 10 years ago and now the younger 3. I learn more about native indian culture every time we go.

Exactly what we expected and more
We were looking for something away from the crowds and town and this was perfect. The house was spacious, clean and sucked with what we needed. Exactly as the description states and more. Anu was very responsive to my questions and made sure we had everything we needed including downloading the info since there is no phone signal. The wifi was great though. We requested a couple things be refilled and they were delivered within hours while we were out exploring. The house having 3 levels were great for our kids to each have their own space and we could all gather in the livingroom area together too. It was a short drive to Smoky mountain trails and scenic 90 min drive through the park to Pigeon Forge Gatlinburg area. There was near views from the deck and along the drive to the property.
