Outstanding Retreat!

We enjoyed a week at the condo, which is just perfection! The location is great, beautiful views all the way up and at the condo itself. We have rented many vacation homes, but hosts Brien and Jennifer have furnished this home so well for the six guest capacity. The dining room table seats six, the living room seats six, and the patio seats six. This is such a well thought out and impactful plus. We spent hours on the patio every day watching for bears. While we did not see any during our stay, I can’t say enough about the size of the patio and the blissful comfort of the furniture out there. I, like many, have a high stress job, and the fact I never took my work laptop out of the bag says it all. I was so relaxed and content, I got to truly unwind and enjoy the Smoky Mountain peace. The most difficult part of our stay was packing the car to go. While we were sad to leave, we are already planning our next trip to this delightful condo. It truly is a retreat!

Solid Pick

The property is equipped with everything you need ( literally everything). We loved the decor and attention to detail throughout the property. It is located in the upper portion of the mountain which was a bit nerve wrecking driving up, but it was worth the drive! The peace and quiet in this location was awesome! Jennifer was hands down one of the best host I have worked with. Our experience was great overall. My only downfall is the close proximity to neighbors, but this is not a deal breaker as the patios are very spacious. We enjoyed our stay, and I need details on the mattress in the master bedroom! It was soooo comfy!

Nice Condo

This condo was very nice and clean. We watched bears play in the back yard. Very curvy roads getting there and our gps never took us the same way twice. We enjoyed our stay very nice owners we would recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Moran

My husband and I love to travel and explore new places. We live in Louisiana and visit the Smoky Mountains as often as possible. We would love the opportunity to share the beauty of the Smoky Mountains with you and your family! We hope you’ll make as many special memories together as we have!

Why they chose this property

We purchased our vacation home because we fell in love with it as soon as we walked through the doors. We knew it would be the perfect home to create many wonderful memories with our children and grandchildren! We enjoy spending time at the three clubhouse's Chalet Village offers, playing ping pong, tennis, basketball, and swimming.
We often spend our evenings on the balcony, enjoying the mountains and relaxing in the peacefulness. Our evening highlight is seeing the Mama bear and her precious cubs come out to play. We have a wonderful time getting out and exploring the surrounding trails, parks and sights the Smoky Mountains has to offer. We’re always looking for new experiences and places to explore when we visit.
