About this property

On the Mountain - 200 Acres of Privacy!

A Smokey Mountain Chalet on two hundred acres of private property with a million dollar view from 3,500 feet above sea level. Overlooking clouds, pastures, streams, waterfalls, ponds and forest; wake up to crisp clean mountain air filled with the sounds of nature. At night, gaze at a sky full of stars that city dwellers never see. Mother Nature at her finest awaits you here. Adjacent to Nantahala National Forest the property has over 4 miles of it's own trails for hikes, mountain bikes, horses or ATVs. Also, we have 4 spring fed streams originating on our mountain where many guests have found rubies, garnets and other gems.

The Chalet includes: a loft with a king size bed and private 1/2 bathroom upstairs; one bedroom with two twin beds downstairs next to a full bathroom; a fully equipped kitchen; a great front deck/porch; a picnic area next to a beautiful stream; outdoor fire pit; a big screen television with DVD player (bring your own movies or choose from our collection.)

Our Chalet is an excellent place to disconnect from hectic pace of our digital world and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature. Please note there is no cell phone service, cable TV or internet/WIFI due to our location in the Smokey Mountains.

Our perfect Christmas/ New Year gateway!!!

Martin and Melody, What a amazing time we had at your chalet. This is a third time coming and each time we just are so amazed. We enjoy the christmas decorations, we felt right at home. My boys enjoy riding the atv and morning walks through the trails. The weather was just perfect for our family. Thank you once again for hosting us at your charlet. A real gem in the mountain! Looking forward to our next adventure soon!

Great stay with beautiful views!

Great stay with family! Property is one of a kind, one of the most unique stays we've ever stayed at! Chalet is back to the basics with no internet and phone service at the location, really didn't miss it. It was a great stay and the host's Martin & Melody were wonderful! Thanks for everything God bless you both!

Week on the farm

Martin and Melody are wonderful hosts. The location of the Chalet is fabulous, so serene. Nice to see the cows, horses, donkeys and dogs wander around. Not having internet or cell phone wasn't too bad, watched a ton of movies and enjoyed the fire place.
