Cabin Features
Gourmet Kitchen
The fully equipped kitchen boasts granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and everything you need to cook like a proâincluding a gas range and stainless vent hood. This is no standard rental kitchen; itâs what we call a chefâs kitchen. From essential cookware to thoughtful extras like kabob skewers, weâve included everything to make you feel at home. A gas grill with a full propane tank and spare is ready for your outdoor BBQ favorites.
Great Room & Entertainment
The open-concept great room combines comfort and style with mountain-modern décor, hardwood floors, and a towering stone fireplace that doubles as a centerpiece for both the living area and the adjoining rec room. Relax on the leather sofa and loveseat, enjoy the HD flat-screen TV with DirecTV, or listen to your favorite tunes through the high-fidelity sound system.
Just steps away, the rec room features a pool table surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the breathtaking mountain scenery. From here, walk out to the patios or follow the boardwalk deck to a private elevated area with a fire pit and hot tub, perfectly positioned for soaking in the panoramic views.

Important Notice: Road Conditions in the Smoky Mountains

These small actions help preserve our natural resources and keep the mountains pristine for future visitors.

Only run the dishwasher when it's full.

Thank you for understanding, and we look forward to your visit!
Attention: Active Wildlife in the Area
Our area of WNC is currently experiencing increased wildlife activity, particularly from bears. While itĂąâŹâąs a privilege to share our environment with these magnificent creatures, itĂąâŹâąs essential that we all take precautions to ensure our safety and theirs.
Please follow these guidelines:
Secure all food and garbage: Bears are attracted to strong smells. Do not leave food in your car and reattach bungee cords to trash can lids every time.
Be aware of your surroundings: Stay alert, especially during dawn and dusk when wildlife is most active.
Avoid close encounters: If you see a bear or other wildlife, maintain a safe distance and do not approach.
Travel in groups: When possible, hike or explore with others, and make noise to alert animals of your presence. Keep dogs leashed at all times.
Your cooperation is crucial in maintaining a safe and harmonious environment for everyone. Thank you for your attention and care.
