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.

PLEASE NOTE WE OFFER A 40% DISCOUNT FOR STAYS 7 OR MORE NIGHTS!!!

We had a great time on our trip and loved the stay here, with the mountain views, the trails on the property, and the livestock wandering about. If you need WiFi to survive, WCU’s campus library is a short drive down the mountain— but we suggest taking the chance to enjoy not having internet/cell service! The place was clean, family-friendly, and the hosts were ready to make you feel at home. We’d love to come back in the winter and make use of the fireplace.

Could not have enjoyed it more.Remote, quiet, inviting, relaxing.Hosts were great, beds and furniture were comfortable. Kitchen was stocked, house was clean. Everything was easy to access. 10 minute hike to the gazebo is a MUST. Take a book and water and spend the afternoon in those porch swings.

Perfect getaway with amazing hospitality!We had such a great stay. The house was beautifully kept and the location was perfect, but what really stood out was the hosts’ hospitality.

Absolutely wonderful place! Peaceful, fun, relaxing and comfortable. The house was exactly as described. Loved driving up to it everyday of our stay. The host was also very informative and helpful with our stay. The property was fun to explore and we loved the visits we received from the dogs. Viewing the stars at night was also very special. Overall we had an amazing time and were only disappointed that we had to leave. Hope to come back again.

Great host and great property! We loved giving corn dog belly rubs. He was also a great running buddy on the trails on the property. Watching the cows, donkeys and horses from porch was so relaxing. The hosts were great and easy to communicate with. Thanks again for an awesome stay. We can’t wait to be back to the mountains again soon

We've stayed in a lot of places over the years but this place was by far our favorite!! Everything from the home to the land and animals was absolutely beautiful and perfect!

Everything was absolutely perfect. The house was beautiful with an absolutely gorgeous view every morning and evenings with the sunsets. Could also not have asked for a better host! So friendly and helpful. We had the best time even my 16yr & 10yr old loved it, and that was without WiFi!! It was vice nice to be able to just relax and have family time with no way to have any interruptions. Highly highly recommend!!
