Serenity Retreat-Peaceful, Pet-Friendly, Escape

Welcome to Serenity Retreat! This cozy cottage is perfect for a relaxing Great Smoky Mountain escape.

Located in beautiful Maggie Valley, this lovely home offers year round Mountain View’s and is surrounded by nature. Local wildlife such as elk, deer, and turkeys regularly stroll by. With a gas log fireplace, WiFi, cable tv, and a fire pit, the cottage has everything you need for a wonderful getaway, while also being convenient to area attractions such as the Blue Ridge Parkway and Cherokee.

Serenity Retreat is a lovely, peaceful cottage with everything you need for a fantastic mountain vacation.

When you arrive at the house, you’ll find parking in driveway for two vehicles. You can access the cottage either by ramp or by a small flight of stairs. Upon opening the front door, you’ll be greeted by a wonderful open floor plan with a spacious kitchen, plenty of comfortable seating, and a gas fireplace. There is also a washer and dryer for our
guests to use in the front hall closet by the door.

Travel to the left of the living area, and you’ll find a spacious master suite with an adjacent sitting area and full size futon perfect for an extra guest or little one. This bedroom also has an attached full bath and walk in closet. A comfy king size bed and large screen tv complete the space so you can relax and unwind and enjoy the mountains.

The cottage has a split floor plan, so back across the living room is a hall bath and second bedroom with two twin size beds and plenty of board games.

As you travel back through the living room, you’ll find a spacious dining area with a family size table and chairs so guests can enjoy meals and make memories together.

Off the dining room, you can travel outside and enjoy the Mountain View from a rocking chair on the back deck. This area also overlooks the backyard and has a gas grill for guests to use as well.

From the deck, you can journey down the backyard path to a wonderful fire pit area with plenty of seating to roast marshmallows or enjoy a glass of wine.
