A-Frame on Private Mountaintop with Long Range Views

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.

[Please Read the "Guest Access" Section Before Booking]

A great base to sample everything the area has to offer: hiking, fishing, skiing, antique shopping, bowling (Cherokee Casino), and much more. It is centrally located between many popular destinations --

Lake Junaluska: 15 mi
Hot Springs: 16 mi
Maggie Valley: 22 mi
Chattahoochee Ski Area: 27 mi

Guest Access:

As I have often been told: "You have to earn that view". 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 for access issues, but will help 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.

True Mountain Escape
This property has become our favorite mountain getaway cabin! It provided the peace and tranquility we were looking for. The cabin was very clean and the host provided great communication, including instructions about the lengthy driveway. We absolutely loved the road to get to the cabin, it really allows you to feel in the middle of nowhere + the views are spectacular! Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to truly escape reality for a bit. We look forward to booking another trip here!

Great place
Super comfortable private cabin with wonderful views. The driveway is much steeper than it looks so if you don’t have 4 wheel drive you are definitely not going to make it up. Overall the place was perfect for a nice little getaway.

Weekend Anniversary Getaway
The cabin was great. Secluded. Quiet. Beautiful. Everything we were hoping for to get some R&R. I was initially hesitant about the driveway and the single window air conditioning unit for the whole cabin. I was able to make the drive with minimal effort in my all-wheel drive 4-cylinder Rav-4, and the window AC unit performed well to cool the entire cabin. We did experience a storm that knocked out the wifi, but it performed well up to that point. Unfortunately, with the storms and general haziness, we weren't able to do any star gazing, but I'm sure in the fall that it is breathtaking. The cabin exceeded our expectations. The cabin was VERY clean, and also to our surprise comes equipped with many items just in case you forget yours and don't want to make it back down the mountain (fans, chargers, first aid etc...). We hope to go back at some point!

Stunning, Cozy Cabin
My husband and I stayed in this absolutely beautiful cabin for almost week in July and we loved every minute of it. We spent mornings and evenings just sitting in the hot tub watching the clouds move through the mountains and listening to the birds. The cabin was very clean, had all the cooking appliances you'd need with some available spices, plenty of extra blankets, great internet connection, and even had some games too! Actual cell phone connection was spotty, but expected given the rural location needed for just stunning mountain views. Definitely pay attention to the driveway instructions (you will be given plenty of extra info with pictures and videos) and take your time; if able, arrive during the day and bring your 4WD/AWD. We are already planning our trip back. While there, we visited Asheville, Gatlinburg, and Big Creek Trail Springs. I would be cautious about bringing larger pet friends; the stairs are smaller and could be a little steep and tricky for big dogs. Overall, it was the perfect retreat to get away from work and the stress of life. Could not give a higher recommendation.

Excellent getaway
Most people comment on the driveway. I grew up in the mountains, so it really did not bother us that much. I actually made it out in our truck without having to back up in one of the very sharp curves. The view is absolutely unbelievable. The house is extremely comfortable and has everything you would need. It is so unique and beautiful, this place is a dream getaway. My sister traveled with us and she stayed upstairs in the main suite. My husband and I slept in the bunkbeds downstairs. Those bunkbeds were absolutely incredibly comfortable. The room was very dark and we got some excellent sleep. The hot tub was super clean and in perfect working order. Thank you for letting us share your home.
