Why they chose this property
From the moment I stepped onto this land, I knew it was special. Tucked away on 16 private acres in the Smoky Mountains, this property offers a peaceful escape that feels like your own hidden retreat. But what truly captured me were the views—once I saw the panoramic mountain scenery stretching out in every direction, I knew I had to share it with others.
Whether it’s sipping coffee on the porch as the morning fog rolls through the valleys, watching the sunset paint the ridges in shades of gold, or gazing up at a sky full of stars completely untouched by city lights, every moment here feels magical.
I created this tiny home getaway so guests could enjoy that same sense of wonder—whether you’re unwinding on the deck, stargazing by the fire pit, or simply soaking in the quiet beauty of nature all around you.

What makes this property unique
This retreat combines the charm of a modern tiny home with the rare luxury of wide-open mountain views on 16 private acres. Unlike many cabins tucked tightly into wooded areas, here you’ll have both privacy and a panoramic Smoky Mountain backdrop that feels endless.
The property was designed with comfort and simplicity in mind—modern kitchen with butcher block counters, a cozy living space, and thoughtful touches throughout—all while being just minutes from Waynesville, Maggie Valley, and the Blue Ridge Parkway.
What truly sets it apart is the experience: stargazing under crystal-clear skies, sipping coffee while the morning fog drifts over the valley, or gathering around the fire pit with views that rival any in the region. It’s the perfect balance of seclusion, modern comfort, and breathtaking natural beauty.
