Having never stayed on a mountain, I wasn't sure what to expect. This property sits at the top of Thunderbird Mountain. The road on Thunderbird Mountain is a narrow 1 way road with no guard rails and no reflectors. We were able to navigate it with no issues in our Jeep Gladiator in good weather, even though some of the turns were tight. My son affectionately called Thunderbird Mountain ... "Sketch Mountain". Flat land on a mountain top is scarce. Most houses are built on stilts in the air on the side of the mountain with no yard. We had to walk our dogs each night as the only flat area was the gravel driveway. The view from the property was AMAZING!!! It's a million dollar view. I now understand why the Smokey Mountains are called "smokey". Each night we watched the clouds dust the mountain tops. I also understand why the Blue Ridge Mountains are called "blue". The ridges of the farthest mountain peaks turned blue each night as the sun descended. Wow. Just wow. Most of our adventures took us an hour or two away from the property. We drove the curvaceous Cherohala Skyway from Robbinsville, NC to Tellico Plains, TN. We took a detour off the Cherohala Skyway to a gravel road at Stratton Gap retracing the route of an early settler named Absalom Strutton. The trek on this amazing gravel road in the valley was a hidden gem and a fantastic jeep adventure. We ventured to Bryson City to ride the Great Smokey Mountain Railway over the Nantahala Gorge. My son enjoyed the train ride most of all. Lastly, we drove to Dry Waterfalls and Bridal Veil Falls. Both were stunning. Honestly, Highway 28 to the waterfalls may have MORE curves than the Cherohala Skyway! This property was a lovely house on top of a mountain and a great base camp for our family to explore the area.

My husband and I along with my sister-in-law and German Shepard spent a week at the property. The house was exactly as advertised. It was spotless and thoughtfully stocked with all the essentials you may need during your stay. The furniture and beds were very comfortable. And the view was beautiful! Morning coffee on the deck was perfect. We enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit many evenings during our stay. The location was good.. the town of Robbinsville had a nice grocery store and a few casual restaurants. We explored Joyce Kilmer Forest, a few close by waterfalls, and the Cherohala Skyway. The Great Smoky Mountain NP is about an hour away. The ride up the mountain to the house was a little scary the first time but was no big deal after a couple trips up and down. Overall a great home base for exploring the Smoky Mountains!

We loved our week long stay, with our dogs! The place was super roomy and beautiful, all our needs were met, plus the gorgeous view from windows but mostly the huge back deck rounded it all out! Then, there were smores at the fire pit and the brand new hot tub! The owner was responsive when we had a dip in water pressure. We would love to go back!
