This RUSTIC retreat is a wonderful escape from modern amenities and will allow you to get back to nature in a very private, magnificent mountain setting. 5000 ft elevation with 360 degree views of the Smoky Mountains. Ample hiking trails, easily accessible to Smoky Mountain National Park. After a day of hiking, relax in the hot tub or refresh in the private, rustic SPRING FED pool. The home is older, VERY RUSTIC and does not include modern amenities - no air conditioning. SPECIAL NOTE: due to the high elevation and design of the home (lots of glass), it is not suitable for small children or the elderly. The grounds include a nature trail, accompanied by a hand made rail fence, that leads to the private fish pond. The road to the house is GRAVEL but in good condition.
