About this property

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.

Harley Ride through the mountians

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.

Quiet, spaceous and a beautiful view

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!

Comfortable cabin

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.

Clean, spacious, with views even better than the pictures.

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!
