This cozy hilltop mountain home allows you to sip coffee while taking in the sights and sounds of the Smokies!

Two adorable small mountain towns are a short drive away with restaurants, festivals, breweries, wineries and dining options for all palates. If you feel like exploring the Smokies by train the Great Smoky Mountain Railway is right down the road. You could also opt to try your luck at Harrah's Casino or learn about Cherokee culture on the Cherokee Reservation. Feel like taking a hike?

Close to Andrews and family. Everything was great!

We had a wonderful stay. Everything was exactly as advertised and the view WAS awesome! The home was clean and all of the linens (and rugs) were super soft. We were a close drive to our family in Andrews and to the N.O.C. We needed to communicate prior to our visit and the owner responded quickly. The home is one level which is great if you need to be closer to children. While this is a pet friendly home, there were no pet odors... thank you for that. We would definitely recommend it and would stay here again.

Amazing View!

I had a really nice time at the MountainView Retreat. It was easy to find and very nice. The view from the front porch was amazing. We like to visit lake Nantahala, and this cabin was very close (about 20 minutes). It is also close to Andrews, Robbinsville and the Nantahala Gorge. We will definitely be back.

Clean, well-maintained, great hosts

We stayed for a 4-day weekend to enjoy the beauty and relaxed pace of the mountains. This house was a comfortable stay for hot summer days with a nice view from the front porch. It was apparent that the hosts care about the property and your stay. The fresh eggs and jam were a nice bonus and made for some nice breakfasts for the two of us. We had a couple of small issues that were addressed immediately by the hosts. The interior was clean, appliances in good repair, extra towels were welcome. The landscapers came to cut the grass while we were there and the smell of the sweet grass was heavenly. The location is easy to find and access even at night. The driveway is curving gravel on a hillside - no issue for any car, but could be tricky for a street motorcycle. There's always room for improvement. The beds were a little soft for us (but the couches were perfect). The porch swing was in the wrong place. We would stay here again and recommend it to friends.

Amazing!

We loved the house. Everything was perfect. Very clean and neat. I think the kids favorite part of the stay was the dogs. Our favorite part was the front porch with the beautiful view. Thank you for opening your rental up to us. We look forward to renting from you again. The stay made it hard for us to leave.

Great location and view

We really enjoyed our stay at Mountain View Retreat. Conveniently located close to the national forest and out of the hustle and bustle. We would definitely come back for another get away.

About the host

Hosted by Jacklyn Smith

Hello and welcome to our charming retreat atop the mountain. My name is Jacklyn Postell Smith and I am happy to be your host if you need anything during your stay. I grew up on this beautiful mountain and then moved to Charlotte NC where I teach second graders and reside with my family. I have two awesome active kids which enables me to know what parents need when they are on vacation! Peace, relaxation and plenty for the whole family to do! I also have two furbabies which also draws my attention that everyone should be able to bring all their babies on vacation! This property has been in my family for five generations! We have enjoyed the view, sound of Postell Creek, adventures of catching crawdads and salamanders, and sitting by the fire eating s'mores. We are excited to share this beautiful place with you now!

Why they chose this property

The scenery is tranquil with a spectacular mountain view. My favorite part of the property is the ability to go out on the porch with my morning coffee and take in the view of the Smokies. I also love sitting at the firepit on summer nights, listening to the babbling creek and making s'mores with my family.
