Quiet 2-bedroom mountain cabin overlooking Shady Valley

Sitting at 3,300 ft of elevation in the East Tennessee mountains, this isn't your average getaway. It's a quiet retreat on a dead-end road, destined for those who enjoy mountain breezes and watching the sun rise over a misty valley six hundred feet below.

Originally built as a tiny home, the structure has been thoughtfully expanded to 550 square feet to create a more welcoming space. The one-acre fenced in yard works for dogs or kids, though very little of it is level. The front porch has attachment points for leashes, making it perfect for the dogs to be outside, but able to move under the porch into the shade should the temperature warrant.

Speaking of the temperature, the summers here are very nice, and we'll average a handful of days each year that reach 90 degrees. In general in the summer, we are 10 degrees cooler during the day than down in Bristol or Kingsport.

One of the best features of this elevation is the ability to sit on the porch and truly enjoy the view. Thanks to the consistent breezes and cooler temperatures, bugs are not generally an issue.

We've updated everything but the utility room/closet. However, the washer and dryer are available, though we'd ask that you use the non-perfumed detergent provided if you need to wash something. This helps us ensure that we keep strong odors minimized, to be considerate of the needs of a broad range of guests.

Outside the house, you may also use the fenced-in yard, including a disc-golf putting setup (2 baskets) and a fire-pit with Adirondack chairs. Be careful walking about, since portions of the property are steep or covered in long grass/weeds.

If you are pulling a boat or other trailer, let us know so we can provide further instructions, since the driveway is an in-and-out, and not a drive-thru.

We recommend a 4WD or AWD vehicle for winter. Getting up here isn't difficult, but the road can be challenging to descend until it has been plowed. We usually get 30 inches or so each winter (though a single snowfall only lasts a few days).
