Welcome to Sunset Heights! Nestled in a peaceful neighborhood within the Great Smokies, you will find our new, bright and cozy studio that features breathtaking up-close mountain views and a peaceful retreat to relax and refuel. We are only a 1.5 mile hop onto I-40 that takes you 17 miles into Asheville or 15 miles to Waynesville. We are a perfect choice if you need an easy overnight rest on your long trip! Or come stay for longer and enjoy a fully furnished studio. This brand new 550 square foot studio space is located in the lower level of our home with its own private entrance.

The kitchen is stocked with a keurig and k-cups, full coffee maker with regular and decaf provided, assortment of hot teas, creamers, olive oil and some spices. Enjoy your morning coffee on your private patio and take in the sounds of neighboring donkeys, a lively rooster and various song birds. Enjoy a cup of hot tea while watching the beautiful sunset over the mountains. Relax in the hammock and enjoy listening to the sounds of crickets and tree frogs…. or take a peaceful slumber.
