Experience the tranquility of the Smokey Mountains from this 15 acre retreat. You will feel as if you can reach and grab Crabtree Bald across the valley as you relax on the deck or by the fire pit. A great base to sample everything the area has to offer: hiking, fishing, skiing, antique shopping, the Cherokee Casino, and much more. It is centrally located between many popular destinations.

This case is no exception. Although I work to keep it in good shape, I have a 1-way gravel driveway that is steep and winding. >> 4WD or AWD are required all year >> Tire chains are required in the winter. A video of the driveway is available in my corresponding VRBO listing (it is under the same name and location), and will be sent to each guest after a reservation is made. Please be sure to review the video and ensure that you are comfortable with the driveway. Further Driveway Notes: >> One of my guests measured the grade with their vehicle, and it is 11 degrees through most of it, but 14 degrees on the steepest 200 foot stretch. >> There is a switchback that will require larger vehicles to stop and back up; otherwise, you cannot make the turn. At this point, I have done all I can to disclose the driveway details, and it is your responsibility to drive a vehicle that can handle our mountain road and poor weather conditions. We cannot and will not provide refunds to guests due to access issues, but will help guests in finding a solution if any issues arise, so please do not hesitate to reach out. There is enough parking space for 2-3 vehicles at a maximum; the last to arrive must be the first to leave, as there is no space for one car to drive around another. You will have the cabin to yourself; it is accessed using an electronic keypad; check-in instructions and a code will be provided during the check-in process. Other things to note >> Cell Service may be lacking, depending upon your provider. I have reception when standing on the front deck. >> The Internet is typically very fast and reliable, but may slow when weather conditions worsen (raining, cloudy, etc.), and if many devices are connected. >> Although the closest convenience store is just 3 miles away, the place can get very eerie at night for those not accustomed to solitude.
