About the host
Hosted by Christy Naumowicz
We’re a family of six who love to travel and make memories together—especially in the Smoky Mountains. After years of visiting this area (where my parents live nearby), we finally found the perfect spot to share with others.
With four kids ranging from toddler to teen, we know the value of space, comfort, and family-friendly fun. Some of our favorite nearby spots include Downtown Pizza in Murphy—an all-you-can-eat pizza and salad bar with a game room—and Harrah’s Cherokee Casino, which has a bowling alley, arcade, and food court the whole family enjoys. We also love hiking on the property, whitewater rafting nearby, and catching first-run movies at a charming, budget-friendly theater just 10 minutes away.
We hope you’ll enjoy this special place as much as we do—it’s become our family’s favorite escape.

Why they chose this property
We chose this area because it offers the perfect balance of peaceful seclusion and natural beauty while still being close to town and activities. Every visit brings something new—deer, wild turkey, and other wildlife are regular visitors. It’s a place where we can unplug, explore the outdoors, and truly slow down as a family.
What makes this property unique
What makes our property truly special is the rare sense of space, peace, and privacy—all within easy reach of town. Set on nearly 60 private acres, our home is surrounded by natural forest on multiple sides, creating a quiet mountain retreat where you can truly unplug. Guests love the long-range Smoky Mountain views, three scenic gazebos, and the feeling of being immersed in nature—without sacrificing comfort.
It’s not just the setting that stands out—it's the experience. Sip coffee with a sunrise view, watch wildlife wander by, or relax in the glass-walled nature shower off the king suite. Then, when you're ready for adventure, you're just minutes from whitewater rafting, local dining, a budget-friendly movie theater, and Harrah’s Casino and family arcade.
It’s the best of all worlds: private, peaceful, and perfectly placed for exploring everything the Smokies have to offer.
