About this property

Bella's Retreat, NEW Cabin overlooking Clingman's Dome, Hot tub, Pet Friendly!

??? Bella’s Retreat | Panoramic Clingmans Dome Views & Private Hot Tub
5 Mins to Downtown Bryson City • 2 King Suites • Outdoor Firepit & Deck • Dog Friendly

Welcome to Bella’s Retreat, an elevated mountain sanctuary offering sweeping, front-row views of Clingmans Dome in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains. Perfect for family vacations, group getaways, or cozy retreats with your pups, this home pairs tranquil nature with unbeatable proximity to downtown.

Unwind in the private hot tub, sip morning coffee with a mountain breeze, or gather around the deck’s gas firepit as twilight settles over the peaks. Located just 5 minutes from downtown Bryson City’s historic Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, boutique shops, and local breweries, you are perfectly positioned for both adventure and relaxation.

? HIGHLIGHTS THAT ELEVATE YOUR STAY
Panoramic Deck & Hot Tub: Soak in the hot tub or gather around the gas firepit while enjoying iconic vistas of Clingmans Dome and starlit night skies.

Luxury Sleeping Setup: Features 2 King bedrooms and 1 Queen bedroom, offering rare dual-suite comfort for adult couples and families traveling together.

Modern Chef's Kitchen: Fully updated open-concept kitchen with brand-new appliances, flowing seamlessly into the dining and living spaces.

Cozy Great Room: Unwind by the indoor gas fireplace on plush seating after a day on the trails or river.

Dog-Friendly Living: Bring your fur babies along to experience the Smokies!

??? SLEEPING ACCOMMODATIONS (Sleeps 6)
Designed for maximum comfort and privacy across three spacious bedrooms:

Bedroom 1: Primary King Suite

Bedroom 2: Secondary King Bedroom

Bedroom 3: Queen Bedroom

?? PET POLICIES
We warmly welcome up to 2 dogs ($100 non-refundable pet fee).

To maintain a pristine home for all guests, dogs must be pre-registered, kept off furniture and beds, and safely crated when left unattended in the cabin.

?? STARTER AMENITIES INCLUDED
To help you settle in effortlessly, we provide a starter supply of:

Essentials: Trash bags, laundry detergent, dishwasher pods, paper towels, toilet paper, and toiletries.

Comforts: Starter coffee, propane for the gas grill & deck firepit, and firepit wood.

?? Guest Tip: For extended stays, we suggest picking up extra supplies at Ingles Grocery in Bryson City (open until 10 PM most of the year, with earlier winter hours).

?? TRAVEL & MOUNTAIN ACCESS
Bella’s Retreat is nestled in the scenic terrain of Western North Carolina.

Vehicle Recommendation: To easily navigate local mountain roads (a mix of pavement and gravel), we strongly recommend a 4WD/AWD vehicle with good ground clearance, particularly during winter or rainy conditions.

Planning Ahead: Smoky Mountain weather changes quickly! Please check conditions before traveling, as refunds are not provided for weather-related travel disruptions.

?? NATURE & CONSERVATION GUIDE
?? Wildlife & Bears: WNC is active bear territory! Protect local wildlife by keeping all trash secured in outdoor bins with bungee cords fastened, leaving no food in vehicles, and keeping dogs on a leash.

?? Preserving the Smokies: Help us protect our local mountain ecosystem by using water mindfully (running full washer/dishwasher loads and taking reasonable showers).

?? HOUSE NOTES
Primary guest must be 21+ to book.

I used to live in WNC years ago, and I can say this place has a top notch view of the smokies! You can maybe beat the views on a clear day at Clingman's Dome, looking back at the cabin but goodluck otherwise! Great views, very nice cabin setup, especially for when it rains. I would recommend and I would stay again. Good communication too. Thank you.

Best part of this house is the view!! Absolutely beautiful. To get that view, you do have to traverse a rather challenging gravel road. And be aware of falling walnuts from the tree hanging over the parking area.
