Deer Ridge - 3 BR, 3 BA, Hot Tub, Firepit

Get that top of the world feeling from the moment you arrive at Deer Ridge. Just a short distance from the main road in Jonathan Valley and perfect for motorcycles, this cozy three bedroom, three bath cabin sits perfectly nestled atop the ridgeline. You can just feel the world fall away as you draw that first breath of cool mountain air. You’ll want to spend every minute you can in the oversized rockers outside, whether it’s looking out over the majestic view by the propane firepit or reading your favorite book, the perfect place for a morning cup of coffee or an evening glass of wine. Just a few short steps away is a brand new five-person hot tub where you can spend the evening talking about the day’s adventures.

From the moment you step inside, feel instantly refreshed as warm sunlight fills the home’s main living space with its floor to ceiling windows. An open floor plan combines large living area, dining and kitchen space that opens to a spacious loft located on the second floor. The large stone wood burning fireplace with its hand-hewn mantle decorates one wall of this area finished out with a large flat screen TV, complete with any DVD imaginable. The dining room takes in the beautiful view across the deck to the mountain ranges beyond. Private and secluded yet only minutes from downtown Maggie Valley, this home offers convenience while enjoying the best the Great Smoky Mountains has to offer.

Adjacent to the living area is the main floor king bedroom with its own private access to the side deck complete with rockers and table for late night conversations under the stars. The master king bath with tub and shower are also accessed by the living space as well. Moving upstairs to the loft area, find your place on the overstuffed couch looking out through windows over the mountaintops, perfect for reading time on those rainy days. The queen bedroom with accompanying full bath is located adjacent to the loft area and boasts beautiful views of its own. Bathroom access is available via both the loft and upper-level bedroom. Tucked away downstairs on the lower floor you will find the additional queen bedroom and bath. Adjacent to the third bedroom is the garage man cave area complete with washer/dryer laundry area and card table. Central heat and air, high speed Wi-Fi, gas and charcoal grill, hot tub, propane firepit as well as garage use complete this wonderful home.
