Retreat in the Sky….For All Those Special Occasions!….

Retreat in the Sky….For All Those Special Occasions!….Our guests love the privacy at Retreat-and also love being only 8 minutes from the town of Bryson City.Recent guests wrote in our guest book…. “Walking into Retreat is like walking into a big warm hug”. In addition to the view of miles of mountains with gorgeous sunsets , what makes Retreat in the Sky so special is the screened porch with hot tub inside. That means you can enjoy the hot tub rain or shine, anytime of year. It also means you’re safe from bugs and outside critters.Whether you’re sport enthusiasts wanting to be located in the hub of all the Smoky Mountain activities… or first or second time honeymooners, celebrating your wedding anniversary or birthday and hoping for that very special place… or vacationers/seniors looking for rest and relaxation at an incredibly beautiful vacation home….we offer it all…..Sitting close to the top of Bear Cove Mountain, our guests enjoy our privatelocation…in the very heart of the Smoky Mountains. We offer a fire log burning fireplace, a large deck with a swing to enjoy the beautiful view and an outdoor fire pit for those wonderful campfires (and we supply the wood).Retreat is centrally located for ALL of the Smoky Mountain activities!! We offer a great location. Just minutes to Bryson City, the Gateway to the Smokies… the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad… Fontana Lake, a beautiful mountain lake where you can swim, fish, and rent a pontoon boat for half or the entire day… the Nantahala Outdoor Center for whitewater rafting, ziplining, horseback riding, biking, and fun restaurants… Cherokee, you can try your luck at Harrah’s Casino… Deep Creek for tubing, hiking, and picnics…the Smoky Mountain Country Club which is a beautiful mountain course and open to the public….the Blue Ridge Parkway…where is there a more beautiful drive??? And maybe best of all… Ingles Supermarket is only five minutes away.Bryson City has an elevation of 1,752 feet. Consider this your starting point as the elevation in Bear Cove is much higher. Bear Cove Road is probably steeper and curvier than what you’re used to. Our driveway is steep with a sharp turn but paved and you do not need a 4 wheel drive vehicle. We ask our guests to exercise caution with snow and ice and make plans to wait for melting to occur. Consider this part of the charm of being in the mountains.But…if you’re looking for complete seclusion, getting totally away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life…and doing nothing more than relaxing, reading a good book and enjoying being alone together…You will love Retreat in the Sky…the view is majestic and the only neighbors are the birds and occasional wild turkeys that come to visit..ADDITIONAL RENTAL INFORMATION:* Check-In after 3:00 pm and Check-out by 10:00 am.* Unlimited free WiFi* No smoking in house (and no exceptions!).
