About this property
Pet/Biker Friendly House on Horseshoe Hill. Minutes to the NOC and Bryson City
This house was built by my father and the craftsmanship is what sets it apart from most rentals. You will find numerous natural elements integrated throughtout that were sourced from the land surrounding the house. I provide every amenity imaginable and then some. There is a Wii console with an array of games and numerous board games for family fun. Both bedrooms have ROKU T.V.s with Hulu, Paramount + and Peacock included. Master has two Queen beds with a dual sink tub /shower combo. Main floor has a Queen bed and a step in handicap shower with 3 saftey bars and seats. Large kitchen has an island with extra sink and every 'kithen gadget' needed to make cooking an ease. Back porch offers a charcoal grill, 6 person spa, overlooks a man made pond/waterfall and faces 3 miles of forest. There is also a firepit with Adirondack chairs, a outdoor table and hammock nearby. The outdoor living space is lit with fariy lights when the sun goes down. There is also a ladder ball, bean bag toss game for outdoor fun. Fully paved access and a 4WD is not needed. Only 2 miles from the 28/74 Hwy split at Fontanta lake where there is access for swimming and other water activities. 10 min from the Nantahala Outdoor Center for white water rafting. 15 min from the Smoky Mountain Railway in Bryson City. $50 Pet Fee per dog per stay. Limit 2 dogs unless prior approval is given.

About the host
Hosted by Trena Merendino
Born and raised in Fl and started spending Summers in Bryson City when I was a young teen.
Why they chose this property
My parents bought the little red cabin next door ( the one I live in) in the early 80's. When my parents fled Fl my father built thier forever home on the same land.
What makes this property unique
Not only have I been told this house feels like home, but the peacefulness of the area yet being close to everything it what makes it the perfect Smoky Mountain getaway.
