Smokey Mountain couple's retreat

Our place is nestled in the Blue Ridge mountains on top of a mountain in a small gated community. A perfect place for lover's to get a way and forget life for awhile. The chalet is above a oversized detached garage. 1200 square ft. It has a spacious living room with a 3D TV and a nice size kitchen with custom cabinets and granite counter tops. If you like to cook like we do, there's pretty much everything you need.

The house features a master bedroom with queen sized bed. The living room has a couch with a pull out sofa sleeper. The house is totally updated with granite counter tops, high end appliances and hard wood floors.

From the rear deck, it has a spectacular 165° view East to West. Seeing over 3 states (GA, NC, TN) is just the beginning. Sunrises and sunsets are totally amazing. Inside is a bit rustic yet has elegant touches. It's not heaven, but you can see it from here.

Downtown Murphy is 12 minutes away. Harrah's Cherokee Valley casino and John C Campbell folk school is about 15 or so minutes. If you're into the outdoors look no further. There's plenty of hiking/biking trails to choose from. Fly fishing, is also a favorite amongst locals here. If you're water people, there are lakes and boat rentals available spring through fall months. Tubing is huge at the Nantahala gorge. If you're into adventure this is a must do.

Million Dollar View w/ great hosts
The hosts, Pat and Gary has their act together. Nice place, clean, just right in the furniture and amenities, instructions and and directions are perfect (just read them and follow as they are perfect, don't use your dash mounted GPS as you will be driving on a wash outed private drive way.) Will stay again. Make plans to get up early and watch the sunrise. It changes and we'll worth it.

Great view of Mtns
Love the early morning and evening views and birds singing. Home was comfortable, clean, homey with everything you might need. Beautifully landscaped. Loved the large American flag waving high on the Mtn.Close to several antique/flea markets if u enjoy that like we do. Thanks for allowing us to enjoy your great place.

A Little Piece of Heaven
This property was everything it says and so much more. The views are spectacular…I watched the sun rise and set. Viewing the clouds at the lower elevations was beautiful and Pat informed me they call it “mountain meringue”! Pat and Gary are the kindest, friendliest hosts I’ve met and I’ve rented many cabins/chalets! I would recommend this amazing place to anyone. Everything you would possibly need is provided and it was immaculate! Murphy is a quiet, quaint town close to so many things to do and see! Hoping to return. Pat and Gary…”thank you” doesn’t seem like enough!
