TWO unbelievable million dollar views from this upscale mountain chalet. To the north, a view of Fontana Lake framed by GSMNP and Clingmans Dome. To the south, layers upon layers of hills and peaks of the Nantahala National Forest. No other cabin in the area has two unobstructed long-range views. Perfect for a romantic getaway, couples retreat, or family vacation. The inner beauty and functionality is only rivaled by the unique outdoor living spaces - hot tub deck, fire pit, screened-in porch... The space Our place books quickly, so don’t wait. This is not your ordinary STR. This home was built and designed as a primary residence and it shows. It will feel more like an upscale hotel than an Airbnb. It is impeccably designed with mountain views from virtually everywhere. The hot tub has an infinity pool feel as it sits perched on a brand new deck overlooking the lake, The Great Smoky Mountain Railroad, and The Great Smokies. The fire pit has a similar view in the summer and 180 degree views in the winter. Sitting on Charley Gap we are centrally located between Bryson City, Franklin, and the Nantahala Outdoor Center and nestled in a gated community of only twenty homes; you’ll have peace, serenity, and solitude. Last minute 20% off deals can be had for mid-week openings one month prior to your stay, but do you really want to take that risk? Just read our reVIEWS. Guest access The home is in a gated community so you’ll need a gate code to get in. The home sits atop a mountain - how else would you have the spectacular views? - this means the drive in does have two switchbacks. All-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive vehicle is best, but front wheel drive works if you are a confident mountain driver. The house can be accessed by a door code that changes. We will provide that prior to arrival. If you come in December, January or February you must have All-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive. Other things to note Absolutely no pets, no smoking, and no parties! Violations of any of these rules will result in the forfeiture of your entire deposit and the immediate cancellation of your booking mid trip. This is the mountains: Cell service works best on the back side of the home. We do have Wi-Fi, but it isn’t city cable or fiber optics. It’s satellite. Starlink, yes, but still satellite. We do have Dish TV as well. It is also dependent upon a clear satellite connection. The price per night here is based on our upscale home, the most amazing views around, and our proximity to all of the adventure this area offers - not Wi-Fi or cable tv. Weather We cannot control the weather. We are not responsible for any issues/power outages due to weather phenomenon. Fire bans can be implemented depending on drought conditions. If you’re staying there during a fire ban, you may not use the outdoor fire pit. Lastly, from time to time, high winds can cause trees to be downed in the area. This can make some roads impassable. When this occurs, we will do our best to help remedy the situation, however, ultimately, we are not responsible for having these trees removed unless it is specifically on our property.
