About the host
Hosted by Jeff & Diane

Hi! We are Jeff and Diane. We have 3 kids and love to travel.
Why they chose this property
We bought this place and fixed it up for our family and friends! We open our home to you so you can enjoy the peace and solitude of our little slice of earth between the Nantahala National Forest and the Smoky Mountain National Park. Step away from the hectic day to day life and enjoy the quiet and beauty of the mountains. Listen to the creek trickle or rush quickly after heavy rains in the deciduous rain forest climate. Watch the stars at night and see the Milky Way since our place is so secluded from light pollution. Watch the sun rise over the mountains (and the moon too, if you're lucky!). In the summertime, see lightning bugs like you've never seen before. The lightning bugs meet with the stars in the sky to make such a beautiful sight. When the leaves have fallen, listen to the shout of the echo in the cove across the mountains. Come breathe the mountain air.
What makes this property unique
Stay right next to Fontana Village in a peaceful setting with a beautiful view year-round on a level yard in the mountains.
