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.

About the host

Hosted by Gary Carter

Host profile image
I am semi retired. Born/raised in Florida. Worked for the local newspaper for 33 years. I am now a volunteer fire fighter for our community. My wife is in medical billing and works from home. On our off time we hike, bike and boat. We also love to cook and do a lot of get togethers with family and friends.

Why they chose this property

During my childhood, my grandparents owned a vacation cabin deep in the woods of Franklin NC. We (me, my parents and my brothers) would travel to vacation for 2 weeks a year. There we would hike, snow ski and just explore the great outdoors that we didn't get in the big city.

What makes this property unique

This place is unique in the sense of its extreme views. Rural yet close to many parks, lakes, bars and restaurants. And being on top of a mountain has its advantages and disadvantages. With extreme views comes with extreme weather. Any time of the year is absolutely beautiful. Yet, when it rains it pours. The drive up to the chalet for some people, can be a li'l scary. Especially for those who are used to flat, straight roads. Keep in mind the roads are well paved and safe. Once you are here you'll soon forget about the drive up.
