Plenty of places to explore right in our valley while you walk out trails and quiet mountain roads.

About the host

Host profile image
My husband and I are teachers who have been blessed to discover this wonderful valley!

Why they chose this property

I have been coming up here to vacation with my parents since I was a child. Now that my husband has also fallen in love with the area, we decided it was the only choice for our family vacation home! We love traveling and feel that of all the places we have been this is our very favorite place to be when we have time off. The house and the surrounding area provide everything a family might expect when they imagine vacationing in the Great Smoky Mountains.

What makes this property unique

Amazing location uniquely close to everything yet with rural seclusion.
