The yard itself is a rare find in the Smokies — flat, spacious, and fully enclosed with classic split-rail fencing.

For longer stays, you may wish to bring additional supplies based on your needs. There’s a Dollar General just 5 minutes away, and an Ingles grocery store 15 minutes away for anything extra.
Our neighborhood includes both full-time residents and part-time residents, so we kindly ask that you respect quiet hours after 10 p.m. Outdoor noise should be kept to a minimum, and parties are not permitted.
Please limit parking to four full-sized vehicles or up to six smaller vehicles. The property is unsuitable for large trailers, RVs, or boats (small trailers are generally OK). While the road is well-maintained, it is narrow. Please drive slowly and do not block the road when parking.
For your security, we have two exterior-only security cameras. These cameras are positioned to protect your privacy while providing protection for when the cabin is unoccupied. They are not actively monitored.
Finally, while we maintain the property with regular pest control, mountain life comes with visitors. You might see the occasional bug, bird, or critter — and yes, ladybugs too. If you know how to get rid of them, let us know ;) It's all part of the charm of staying in the Smokies!
