Perfect for Families! Relaxing Mountain House, Gorgeous Views
About this house rental
Our High Valley House is a wonderful place that has been our family home for the last 20+ years. Love at first site is what made us buy it and will make you glad that you are here. Sit in the porch swing or hammock and take in the miles-long view, or enjoy it through the huge windows that surround the house. Better yet, join up around the fire-pit or soak in the hot tub. Easy access to a 4-lane Highway, but very secluded. Close to the NOC, whitewater, Tsali mountain biking, Appalachian Trail, Lake Fontana, Tail of the Dragon for motorcycles, Smoky Mountain National Park, and the Cherokee Casino. The house layout works great for separating the guests. The master bedroom is on the main level with a Queen bed and the jetted tub with windows to the world. Downstairs, there is the King bedroom, the Double bedroom, and a Kids room with a dual twin bed trundle. There is also a separate full bathroom and laundry downstairs. Outside exits from both ends of the downstairs give you easy access to the yard and hot tub. You can relax upstairs and put the kids and in-laws downstairs, or switch. Everyone can re-group on the main level with the open kitchen that is great for visiting and enjoying the views out the over-size windows. If you are in the area to ride your motorcycle on the amazing mountain roads, this house will make a great central base for exploring. There is a huge covered area under the front deck that you can ride into and out of. There is only a short stretch of level gravel road coming into the neighborhood, otherwise all pavement access including the driveway. Cyclists will appreciate the covered bike wash area to work on and leave their bikes Fisherman will enjoy the easy access to the Nantahala and Little Tennessee Rivers and Lake Fontana. There are great quiet walks right from the house and folks with a little adventure can even hike all the way down to the Nature Conservancy tracts of the Needmore Tract on the Little Tennessee River. All this, yet the house is very easy to access and is only 15 minutes from Bryson City. Click extra link below to see more pictures of the house and bedrooms. Keywords: House

This is our 5th or 6th time renting this property. It is always clean and well maintained. The view is incredible as we always start our day drinking coffee on the porch enjoying the sun coming up over the mountain. We usually end our day on the porch or in the hot tub watching the sun set.
The house is conveniently located to all the roads any Harley rider would want to take as well as all the surrounding cities to visit such as Bryson, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg ect.
I highly recommend High Valley.

Our family (Parents plus 23, 20, & 17 yr old) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property! There was plenty of space for us to enjoy dinner and games at the dining room table, yet our own quiet spaces to relax. The was just about everything we needed in the kitchen, and loved the open concept so that we could talk while we were cooking/cleaning up. The porch swing and hammock are perfect places to relax with a book or headphones. It was very quiet outdoors; rarely did we hear other cars or people. The view is just incredible. Be sure to look up at the night sky; so many stars to see. The owners have kept up with this house, and it is beautifully furnished. No issues with hot water or anything else during our stay. Kent even contacted us that the wifi was going to be down one of the nights we were there, and we had no issues with it. The driveway is steep, but no issues with it. There's even space for you to back into the spots at the top. All 5 of us want to go back, and I have zero reservations about booking this house again. Thank you Kent!

Had 6 adults riding street bikes. Plenty of room to hang out/sleep plus room to park our bikes plus a truck and trailer. Hard to find a cabin with this much parking.

Beautiful! The hot tub faced the beautiful views, as did the wraparound porch and the huge windows in the living room!. My family’s had a mini reunion there, and we never felt cramped, only appreciative of the spacious area and beautiful surroundings. The pictures really don’t capture how beautiful the views are. My mom already is planning to come next year!

Just what we needed for an early Christmas gathering. Prompt communication, well stocked, great location and a plenty of room for adults and children to have their own space yet also gather together as a group.

This place was perfect! The loveliest cabin tucked away at the top of a mountain with stunning views. The house was fully stocked with everything you could need. It was very clean and spacious, with a lot of room for us to all have our own space. The owners were great communicators and willing to help with anything we needed upon our arrival and throughout the stay. We felt very welcome from the moment we stepped foot onto the property.
The location was great, close to Bryson city activities, gem mining and other fun, mountainous things to do. Can’t recommend this place enough, it was perfect!

Great trip from the beginning. The directions were spot on. The house had plenty of privacy and room for the dogs to run outside. The house was spotless and Amazingly Well stocked. The kitchen had everything you need. Unbelievable attention to detail. Little things like including a discount card in the welcome book for the local grocery. Great views from the deck. Awesome sleeping accommodations. We are already planning our next vacation there in the spring.

This house and location has a tremendous amount to offer. With more than ample room and well appointed with the signature view of the mountains both inside and outside, the house should satisfy most anyone. It's located within very reasonable time an distance of the many attractions available in that are both natural and man made. We had a fabulous time.

We had a fantastic stay at the High Valley House. The view was absolutely stunning, and we were even lucky enough to have a rainbow appear over the mountains at the end of our stay. The house was very clean and provided plenty of space for group of 8. The location was also great and we enjoyed Nantahala National Forest, Great Smoky Mountain National Park, and Lake Fontana. Kent was great about communicating and making sure that we had everything that we needed. We would definitely stay there again!!

Mountain View’s inside and out. Love the swing and hammock on the covered porch along with table and chairs. Plenty of space inside with a stocked kitchen. It’s home away from home.
10-15 minutes from NOC or Bryson city. It’s our second time here and I’m sure there will be a third. It’s just tranquil…

Privacy, Peace, and a Mesmerizing View
In one sentence: This place was everything we had hoped it would be, from size and convenience to location and comfort.
We'd go back in a heartbeat.
Our host was incredibly attentive and everything was as it should be. We had ourselves (senior couple), another couple in their 20s and 30s, and a family of four. Everyone slept in a bedroom, and we could have added a couple more folks by using the loft. The two dogs were happy, too.
We're from California: the AC worked, making the humidity a lot less annoying.
Our son and daughter-in-law both graduated from culinary school; they did the bulk of the cooking and had no complaints about the kitchen. All they brought was a favorite knife.
Note: whether each of us had cell phone service depended upon our provider. Those of us with ATT were good; those with T-Mobile couldn't get a signal. The Wi-Fi setup was good and accessible throughout the house, but the bandwidth itself varied.
The house is a comfortable family place, with all the necessities, storage so you can unpack, pillows, blankets, etc. I never once heard a complaint from anyone.
We felt like we were completely alone in the forest, with an incredible view of forests and hills for miles. We went to some local attractions (worth doing) but I think we enjoyed most just exploring, hiking, and wading/swimming in the rivers.
Probably my best VRBO ever.

The High Valley House was clean, well-appointed, and had plenty of space for our group of motorcyclists. The location is ideal for convenient access to some of the best motorcycle roads in the US. Communication with the owner was fantastic.

We had a great time staying at this property!! There was plenty of space for my family if four and my sister's family of four, plus two dogs. The porch offered an amazing view and a great place to just relax!! The hot tub was a big hit being used during both the day and at night under the stars.

We had such a great time and we will definitely be back!!
