Welcome to your Smoky Mountain retreat in Cherokee, North Carolina. This spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath home was recently renovated to provide modern comfort while still embracing the natural beauty that surrounds it. Set in a private wooded area, the property offers both seclusion and convenience, making it an ideal choice for families, groups, and anyone looking to enjoy a peaceful mountain getaway. Inside, you’ll find a thoughtfully designed home with plenty of space to relax. Each bedroom is furnished with a comfortable queen bed and a flat-screen TV, giving every guest their own cozy retreat. The living areas are bright and inviting, perfect for gathering together after a day of exploring. The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals, whether you’re cooking a hearty breakfast before a hike or dinner to share around the table. The home is equipped with free high-speed Starlink internet, so you can stream, work remotely, or stay connected during your stay. Central heating and cooling keep the space comfortable year-round, and laundry facilities are available for guest use. The property’s renovation brought fresh finishes, modern touches, and a warm, welcoming style that blends perfectly with its natural surroundings. Step outside and you’ll be surrounded by the quiet of the woods, with plenty of room to unwind. While the property feels tucked away, it’s only minutes from top attractions. Harrah’s Cherokee Casino is just six minutes away, the Blue Ridge Parkway can be reached in about 15 minutes, and the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park is only 20 minutes from the home. Guests also appreciate being within the Qualla Boundary, where adults can enjoy the unique experience of legal cannabis use in a beautiful mountain setting. Pets are welcome too—dogs only, with a maximum of two per stay (small pet fee applies). Whether you’re here for adventure, relaxation, or a mix of both, this renovated mountain home offers the perfect base for you!
I’m Andrew, your host, and I’m proud to share my home with travelers who want a comfortable and memorable stay in the heart of the Smoky Mountains. As a lifelong resident of Cherokee and an enrolled member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI), I have a deep connection to this land and community. I know these mountains, rivers, and trails well, and I enjoy helping guests discover the best of our area—whether that’s a hidden waterfall, a scenic overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway, or a family-friendly activity in Cherokee. Hospitality has always been important to me. I want every guest to feel welcome, at ease, and taken care of from the moment they arrive. I believe a great stay is about more than just clean sheets and a roof over your head—it’s about feeling at home, even when you’re far from home. That’s why I focus on the small details: clear check-in instructions, a well-stocked and thoughtfully maintained home, and quick responses whenever you need assistance. The entire property was recently renovated, so you can enjoy modern comfort while still being surrounded by the natural beauty of the Smokies. When I’m not hosting, I enjoy spending time with my family and exploring the outdoors. I’m passionate about this community, my culture, and proud to call this place home. I also enjoy meeting people from all over the world and hearing their stories. Hosting gives me the chance to share what makes our mountains and heritage so special, while also learning from the people who come to visit. I understand that every guest is different—some people want a quiet, private retreat while others prefer recommendations and conversation. I’m happy to give you as much space or support as you need. Whether you’re here for adventure, relaxation, or a bit of both, I’ll do my best to make sure your stay is smooth and enjoyable. Thank you for considering my home for your trip. I look forward to welcoming you.

The neighborhood offers a unique balance of peaceful mountain seclusion and convenient access to local attractions, making it an ideal base for travelers of all kinds. Just three minutes away is Santa’s Land Fun Park & Zoo, a favorite for families with children and a must-visit during the warmer months. Harrah’s Cherokee Casino is only six minutes from the home, offering entertainment, dining, and nightlife. For nature lovers, the Blue Ridge Parkway is about 15 minutes away, with some of the most scenic drives in the country, and the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park is just 20 minutes from your doorstep, providing quick access to trails, waterfalls, and wildlife. Guests interested in the area’s cannabis-friendly culture will appreciate being only four minutes from the Great Smoky Cannabis Company dispensary, located right here within the Qualla Boundary. The neighborhood itself is quiet and surrounded by forest, creating a sense of privacy and relaxation. Guests often enjoy the peace of the mountains after a busy day of sightseeing. At the same time, you’re never far from essentials—restaurants, grocery stores, and shops in Cherokee are all within easy reach. As a community, Cherokee is rich with culture and tradition. Visitors can explore the Museum of the Cherokee People, the Oconaluftee Indian Village, and seasonal events that celebrate the heritage of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. The area is also known for its trout fishing, river tubing, and family-friendly outdoor activities. This part of the Smokies is welcoming year-round. Spring and summer bring lush greenery, autumn offers vibrant mountain colors, and winter provides crisp mountain air and a slower pace. No matter the season, Cherokee offers something special to discover just minutes from your doorstep.
