Blessed by its years, this Historic Homestead retains her glamour from 1912, while providing all the modern comforts of 2020. While we are an old, charming house, we are a new vacation home, And while we are new to North Carolina’s mountains, we celebrate years of hosting guests. From 2006-18, our Casa Tranquila, on the central Pacific coast of Costa Rica, welcomed, guided and entertained over 2
000 new, (and now) long-lasting friends from around the globe. We are so excited about our new beginning here in the Smoky Mountains. The address confirms the home was built on the "timberline" that brought logs by flue and river from the mountains. All its original wood for construction was milled right in the back yard. The relic foundation for the waterwheel still sits on the stream right outside your window. Throughout, you'll enjoy authentic hardwood floors, walnut ship lap door casings and rough cut cedar walls that still reveal the mill's saw marks. Add the claw foot bathtub, old-school, windows with counterweights and ropes, antique bronze door k***s and 2-inch plank ceilings . . .and you'll feel like Greta Garbo might visit any minute. There's even a century-old creak in the stairway. Have faith, though. You will not want for today's amities. Chef's kitchen complete with six-burner gas stove, side-by-side fridge and dishwasher. Smart TV's. Convenient mini-split air system offers warm or cold with a touch. Apple routers provide strong wi-fi in every room. Walk-in showers rival even the finest spa. While your upward mountain views are sensational, you are indeed in the "valley" of Maggie Valley. Truly, you can walk to eight of our best restaurants within 15 minutes. Shopping, street events, crafts fairs, parks, greenways, nature trails, museums are all along Soco Road . . .only 100 yards away. The Home: Every suite has a private balcony; Tin roof (for great sleeping when it rains); Large detached apartment suite for your seventh and eighth guests; Cozy solarium for conversation, cocktails, cards; Soft-flowing stream to lull you to sleep at night. We added an extra convenience especially for your outdoor dining pleasure: a huge octagonal deck next to the stream. A natural canopy of trees serves as your shade, complete with a grill and lights for nighttime dinners. Bring your bamboo fishing rod to drop into the stream while your steaks are grilling. We've thought of everything. Send an inquiry, and you and your family will be in the best of hands.
