Why Margaret D'Onofrio chose Smoky Mountains
I fell in love with this property because of its unique location, the beauty and tranquility of the outdoors and the magnificent views from every room. The post and beam home has been built with amazing care and attention to detail. Since I purchased it in late 2012, it has new furnishings throughout and updated landscaping and new seating in all outdoor areas. Come see for yourself why Buttercup Haven is a special place.

Fantastic experience at Buttercup Haven
My family of six had a wonderful stay at Buttercup haven. The home was immaculate when we arrived and the host made everything easy for arrival and departure. The setting is spectacular with terrific views from both sides of the main floor and the hot tub. The home is beautifully furnished and is very comfortable, particularly the well appointed kitchen. This has to be one of the best short term rental experiences in this part of the country and we hope to experience it again.
Beautiful Property with all the comforts of home. Great layout for a ladies weekend getaway.
Kitchen is very well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Bedrooms are very comfortable. Lots of space for playing card games, reading or taking in the views. Sunrise and sunsets were unbelievable during our stay.
Amazing panoramic views, very spacious, well appointed and kitchen has every gadget ever made!
Our family loved this property! It is extremely cozy, secure, spacious, private and has more comforts than home. We will most certainly rent this beautiful home again! We cooked every night and the kitchen was every cook's dream! We can't wait to come back!
10 STAR RATING
How blessed you are to have found this piece of property over looking GODS beautiful creation.
To have been able to build this beautiful home and furnish it as nice as you have done.
All of us were in awe as we walked through the front door, and to think that you allow people to vacation there in such comfortable surroundings. I could go on and on about how nice your home is but it is just what the other 5 star ratings have said and more. God willing
I can come again for a visit. Thanks ever so much. MILLIE & PAUL
Excellent home with fabulous views. Owner provided all the small details to make it a real pleasure.
My family had a great time spending a long weekend at Buttercup Haven. All the details were taken care of in a thoughtful way in advance, from providing access codes to having a huge selection of books and current DVDs on hand. The home is beautifully designed with architectural materials and situated at a secluded ridge-top location providing miles of mountain views. TVs and DVD players are everywhere and Wifi worked seamlessly for all our devices. The furniture and accessories are first-rate, including luxurious Ralph Lauren bedding. There are multiple outdoor spaces, including a hot tub and a covered swing that's ideal for lazy napping. But the star of the show is the balcony looking west. We spent a lot of time there just relaxing and enjoying the view. We can't wait to go back.
A beautiful, comfortable well appointed home
I'm losing track but I think this is our 4th time to stay at Buttercup. As you can probably tell it's our favorite place to stay. We love this beautiful home which comfortably accommodated the whole family (10 in all). This home has many exceptional attributes, from the wonderful deck with its awesome view to the exceptionally well appointed kitchen and dining areas. We're already planing our next stay!
