Good to know

Leave the hotel life behind and truly settle in. Our 2BR Whittier home is designed for those who want to linger—whether you're combining remote work with mountain play, visiting family in the area, or simply desire a longer, more authentic Smoky Mountain experience. Unlike cramped accommodations where you quickly feel confined, this spacious home invites you to spread out and establish routines. Morning coffee tastes better when sipped on your private deck as mountain mist lifts through the trees. Work emails feel less intrusive when answered from a comfortable living space with reliable high-speed internet. Evenings become more relaxing when you can prepare home-cooked meals and enjoy them at a proper dining table rather than perching on a hotel bed. The house has the comfortable, lived-in quality of visiting a relative's mountain home—clean and welcoming with all necessities, but without pretentious frills. Thoughtful touches like a full-sized washer and dryer eliminate mid-stay laundromat runs, while the equipped kitchen saves both money and the fatigue of constant restaurant meals. For extended-stay guests, location becomes even more critical—and this home delivers prime access to the region's highlights: Harrah's Cherokee Casino: 9 minutes Downtown Bryson City: 10 minutes Great Smoky Mountains National Park: 17 minutes Nantahala Outdoor Center: 22 minutes Whether you're here for a two-week working retreat or a month-long mountain escape, this homey 2BR creates the perfect balance between productive days and restful evenings in one of America's most beautiful mountain regions.

Brenda’s home in the mountains of Whittier was the perfect retreat. Peaceful, quiet, and surrounded by nature, it offered a great place to relax and unwind. The location was ideal—secluded enough to feel like a true escape, yet close to everything we had planned. Check-out was a breeze too, with a simple, minimal checklist that made heading home stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

we absolutely loved our stay here. close enough to the main attractions and roads but secluded enough to peacefully sit on the porch and have a cup of coffee. Brenda was very helpful and responsive and was a fabulous host. definitely recommend staying here
