Escape to the mountains and rest without distraction. This home is the perfect place for a family reunion, holiday, or just to get away from it all. Surrounded by trees, this home sits half way up a mountain with a beautiful view of the Nantahala mountains and a valley down below. Sip coffee in a rocking chair at sunrise on the wide wrap around deck and toast the sunset in the evening. The sunroom glassed in porch is the perfect place for a candlelight dinner, game of dominoes, or just to relax with a good book.
Need entertainment? Gatlinburg is 60 miles away. Asheville is 70 miles. Robbinsville, the setting for the movie Nell, starring Jodi Foster, is the closest town being only 14 miles. Great location with easy access and ample parking for vehicles, boats and trailers. Approximately 15 to 20 minutes drive to Tsali Recreation Area for mountain biking and horseback riding trails, Fontana Lake and Dam, Lake Santeetlah and Appalachian Trail. Close to trout streams, Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest, Cherokee, Dillsboro, Great Smoky Mountain Railway.
You will hardly know you have any neighbors. This mountain side retreat is nestled in the woods with a view of trees, sky, and mountains. The home is situated at the end of the "Tail of the Dragon" which is a popular motorcycle thrill ride. We have a private driveway with ample room for 3 or more cars. There is also a very large detached two car garage with room to store one of your vehicles. A huge wrap around porch is great all day, always providing shade. There is a large glassed/screened in porch with a table for eating dinner or playing games. We also have satellite TV upstairs and downstairs. There is a gas burning fireplace upstairs and a wood burning fireplace downstairs.
The movie Nell was filmed in nearby Robbinsville. Nantahala Outdoor center is about 15 miles away where you can whitewater raft or canoe. Lots of ruby mines are around which is one of the favorite things our kids like to do. White water rafting is a huge activity to do there. Nantahala Outdoor center is a big draw.

Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2004
Hello! My name is Ann and we've been going to our mountain home since 1997. It belonged to my in-laws and when they decided to sell, we bought it from them in 2004. We absolutely love it in the mountains. The locals are so kind and laid back. We live in the city, but can't wait to get away from the day to day world of "life" and escape to our "No Worries" retreat.

“What a blessing having had the opportunity to visit your beautiful home here in NC. These past five days have been exhilarating and I can’t wait until next year. Thanks again and know that you and your family have a gift from God here at Tuskeegee and you are special for sharing.” The Mitchell Family “Thank you so much for allowing us to visit your home. It is beautiful here and it was great to get away and relax” Heather “Your home is a lovely retreat from the hustle and bustle we impose upon ourselves during the holidays. My favorite spot was the porch or sunroom. The view was spectacular and a great place for moving conversation conversation with the creator. The home allows for tv viewing, while others quietly read a book and yet others played a game. Very well planned. Our thanks to you for a week filled with family fun and comfort. Everything we might have needed you supplied. The towels, bed linens, etc. Everything was was neat and clean” The Ponderspikes “We had sunset drinks with our friends on the porch and listened to the critters.” The Comeaux “This was our first family vacation and it couldn’t have been nicer. We are packed and no one really wants to leave. I guess that is the way you know it was a successful vacation.” The Barnes “I have particularly enjoyed the sounds-tires crunching on the gravel drive, rain sprinkly softly through the trees, the frogs croaking and the creak of a guenuine bonafide screen door. One morning a pair of pileated woodpeckers dined on the dead limbs of the oak.” The Richardsons “Thank you so much for letting us stay at your wonderful place. The area is exceptional, especially the nearby “Dragon’s Tail”, which is amazing. You truly have a nice hideaway.” The Lassiters “I love the peace and quiet and remoteness of the area. I also love the sunroom in the late evening. Thanks for sharing this wonderful place with us.” Steve “I love your cabin” Laney, age 4 “Your hospitality was seen throughout the weekend” The Foxes
