Extraordinary views come with this peaceful and wonderful house where beauty surrounds you and and can be enjoyed any season of the year.

The ground level (first) floor boasts a recreation/family room space with a foosball table, fireplace, one bedroom and a large full bathroom. Large screen TV and DVD player, along with a large selection of DVD movies, a foosball table, and multiple family games for all ages are available for guest use. Starlink internet access for streaming to the TVs is in place, and is also available for personal devices if your service isn't available. Verizon cell phone works well up here, others carriers not so much. A large sectional sofa in the room faces a cozy warm gas fireplace and can accommodate 2 additional sleeping arrangements to the queen bed in the nearby bedroom. This family room is the access point to inside the house from both the driveway and the attached garage, in which there is a ping pong table and both a washing machine and dryer.

The second floor (main) level, with a 20 foot open ceiling and extraordinary mountain views, has another gas fireplace in the main open floor plan living room/dining room containing 2 zero gravity reclining sofas and recliner for extra guest sleeping arrangements, a large coffee/breakfast bar with both a Keurig and regular coffee maker and toaster, and an adjoining fully equipped kitchen with electric stovetop, separate oven, dishwasher and refrigerator. Kitchen has all pots, pans, baking, dishes, utensils, glasses, etc. a family would need for preparing all meals. There is a large deck outside the kitchen entry on this floor that has a propane BBQ and an outdoor seating/eating table with a gas tabletop firepit available for guests to use. Great for outside eating with the BBQ pit right there, viewing the mountains in background, as well as family card games and just relaxing in the comfortable space.

A super large and comfortable master king bedroom with high-end bedding has mountain-facing, floor to ceiling window views, screened porch access, and a private ensuite bathroom containing a luxurious soaking tub and separate tiled shower. Also on this level is the second nicely appointed queen bedroom and the third full bathroom with a tile shower.

A starter supply of kitchen and bath paper products and small amenities will be supplied at the beginning of guest stays. Guests only need to bring their own food and personal toiletries. There is a full service Ingles grocery store about a 10 minute drive from house.

Outside enjoy both screen enclosed and open deck areas on both the first and second floors, with Adirondack chairs and glider and other guest seating, which you will not want to leave for the long range mountain views and incredible sunrises & sunsets!

There are many destinations nearby including boating (boat rentals available) on Lake Santeetlah and Lake Fontana, fishing, visiting Nantahala National Forest, white-water rafting, canoeing, kayaking , mountain biking, horse-back riding, nature walks and hiking. There are also several day (short) trips from the house, including Tail of the Dragon, Fontana Dam [the highest dam east of the Rockies] Cherohala Skyway, hiking trails at Huckleberry Knob, Twenty Mile Trail, and the Appalachian Trail, Bryson City (with the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad - Polar Express and Nantahala Gorge Excursions on steam & diesel trains), Smoky Mountain National Park, Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, and Harrah's Casinos in Murphy and Cherokee, NC.

House can be accessed without a four wheel drive. The road leading up and the driveway are paved all the way up. One fairly sharp turn at the base of the driveway from the road may require one slight backup adjustment before heading up the drive for larger vehicles such as pickup up trucks/SUVs. We have a video to send to confirmed guests describing the ride up and assist with being comfortable with that ride prior to arrival. Located on a mountainside, it is a fairly steep and narrow ride up to the house, and we do cannot accommodate trailers in the house driveway (please contact host to discuss questions/options on this at a location just down from house), and do recommend guests arrive their first night before dark to get acquainted with the ride up . As we are motorcyclists ourselves, we are motorcycle friendly for experienced riders, but do not recommend riding double up the steep driveway.
