Self check-in

Check yourself in with the lockbox.
This mountain retreat offers a beautiful, secluded setting that is well-situated to explore the Smokies. Perfect for couples, it features two bedroom suites, a large porch with short-range mountain views, the sound of a cascading creek, creek-side seating, hot tub, outside fire pit, fully equipped kitchen, propane grill, and fast wifi. It is well-situated between the lovely towns of Sylva (10 mins), Cherokee (20 mins), and Bryson City (25 mins) in close proximity to the Smoky Mtn National Park.

The space
The house is nestled into the trees on the side of a ridgeline at 3,000 feet elevation. There are neighboring houses, but with large lots and lots of trees, it feels secluded and private. The only traffic on the road are the occupants of the other homes. We own the lot on the other side of the road, which offers creek access.

The main floor is the upper level. You'll ascend a wooden staircase to get there. You enter in the center of the house, which is the living area. There are two bedrooms on opposite sides of the floor with ensuite baths. Each bedroom also has its own door to the porch. One bedroom has a king-sized bed. The other has a queen and twin beds. In between the two bedrooms is a large living/dining area, a well-stocked kitchen, and a laundry room with a half bath make up the rest of the main floor. There is a desk for those that need to get some work done.

The porch is large and has two swings, two rocking chairs, and a seating area. As you sit on the porch, you'll enjoy a beautiful, short-range mountain view to the West. The ridge you will see in front of you is part of Sheepback Mountain. If you're there at sunset and twilight, you'll see the sunset colors over the ridge. You'll hear the wind blowing through the leaves and the sound of water in the cascading creek down at the road. It's beautiful and peaceful, and our guests can't get enough of it.

On the ground floor near the staircase, you'll find two grills. One is propane. The other charcoal. On the deck on the ground floor, you'll find the hot tub. While the view is not as grand as the upstairs porch, it's still a nice view, and it's a lovely setting with the trees in front of you.

If you walk to the southside of the house, you'll find a fire pit with plenty of seating. You'll have trees on three sides of you, and the house on the other. You have privacy, but you can also see the short-range mountain views to the West.

If you walk down our driveway and turn right and walk thirty yards, you'll see a wooden staircase descending to the creek. We own this lot and have built this staircase and deck for our guests' use. You'll find some seating to enjoy the sights and sounds of the beautiful, cascading creek. It's lovely!

Guest access
The garage is off limits.

Other things to note
Cell service is limited here in the mountains. We do have a cell signal booster. If you find that is still not sufficient, we suggest turning on wifi calling in your phone settings.

The house has a well. The water is probably the best you've ever tasted.

Neighborhood highlights

The home is located in the Dick's Creek Community. It's well-situated to explore the towns an sites of Western NC. It's just a short drive to Cherokee (Casino, waterfalls, National Park), Bryson City (Smoky Mountain Railroad, Deep Creek), Blue Ridge Parkway, and Sylva (shopping, night life, WCU). There are hiking, biking, and floating options nearby as well.

Once you turn off the Smoky Mountain Highway (Highway 74), you'll enjoy the lovely approach that follows the creek through the forested canyon into the mountains. The community is made up of custom, single-family homes. It's very quiet, and there is very little traffic. You'll gain altitude as you approach the house. It's roughly 8 minutes from the highway and sits at 3,000 feet of elevation.
