About this property

Smokey Mountain couple's retreat

Our place is nestled in the Blue Ridge mountains on top of a mountain in a small gated community. A perfect place for lover's to get a way and forget life for awhile. The chalet is above a oversized detached garage. 1200 square ft. It has a spacious living room with a 3D TV and a nice size kitchen with custom cabinets and granite counter tops. If you like to cook like we do, there's pretty much everything you need.

The house features a master bedroom with queen sized bed. The living room has a couch with a pull out sofa sleeper. The house is totally updated with granite counter tops, high end appliances and hard wood floors.

From the rear deck, it has a spectacular 165° view East to West. Seeing over 3 states (GA, NC, TN) is just the beginning. Sunrises and sunsets are totally amazing. Inside is a bit rustic yet has elegant touches. It's not heaven, but you can see it from here.

Downtown Murphy is 12 minutes away. Harrah's Cherokee Valley casino and John C Campbell folk school is about 15 or so minutes. If you're into the outdoors look no further. There's plenty of hiking/biking trails to choose from. Fly fishing, is also a favorite amongst locals here. If you're water people, there are lakes and boat rentals available spring through fall months. Tubing is very popular at the Nantahala gorge. If you're into adventure this is a must do.

Stayed 2 nights in May 2026. Everything was super clean and the view from the deck was amazing since it was at the top of the ridge. The bed was comfortable. Easy check in and check out. We'd come back!

The place was very tastefully and completely furnished. I suspect that Pat might have had a lot to do with that :) The drive to the property involved a lot of switchbacks but that is part of being on a mountain top in the applications. We were returning North from FL and that will be an annual stop. Love the area and the mountains. Gary was there to greet us and to say goodbye other wise we were on our own. Perfect place!

This place is beautiful ! The host was amazing and thought of every little detail. It felt like we were home away from home. The home is kept in pristine condition and was very clean. The Mountain View's were the best we've ever seen! We highly recommend and plan on staying in the future!

What a beautiful piece of property! We spent 2 nights here for a friend's birthday/girls get away weekend and it was PERFECT. The views are breathtaking and it could not have been more perfect. Gary and Pat were very accommodating and responded to anything we needed right away.

This place was fantastic! Cleanliness was superb, as was the setting with beautiful mountain views. Gary was attentive and willing to help with any situation, though we really didn’t need him for anything because the place was so well organized. Everything was thoughtfully placed and the bed was super comfortable. The kitchen was up to date and had everything we needed to cook. The bathroom was spotless. Loved our stay! Hopefully will be back some day!
