This thoughtfully designed home was built with sustainability in mind and in harmony with its natural surroundings.

Our rural retreat is shared with nature and local wildlife. Deer families often wander the property, alongside a variety of bird species and native West Coast plants that can be enjoyed throughout the seasons. We also have two friendly family dogs who happily welcome pats and treats from guests. In addition, we run a small bee farm, Smoky Mountain Apiary, allowing guests to enjoy fresh local honey upon arrival—a sweet taste of the area’s natural harvest. (Our bees are currently off-property foraging at nearby farms.)

This private outdoor sanctuary features a sauna, cold plunge, and a large fire bowl with comfortable seating, where guests can relax and enjoy complimentary tea. The space also includes a Wellness & Workshop Dome, ideal for meditation and self-guided practices.

Idyllic and lovely!
This was an absolutely amazing, peaceful and lovely stay! The route to get here was a little winding and long, but we were rewarded with the most stunning views and clean, comfortable, and modern suite at the top. Delightful amenities and little touches awaited us and we thoroughly enjoyed the few days we spent here. I could go on and on about this stay and all the positives, but suffice it to say, it was all things wonderful and delightful! The highest recommendation for our hosts and without a doubt we would stay here again. (Make sure you pick up some of their honey...it's delicious and we gifted it to family on our return. Everyone has enjoyed it and said its some of the best honey they've ever had!)

Wonderful stay
We had a wonderful stay at Smoky Mountain retreat. The suite was clean, comfortable, and cozy. Nicky and Rob are great hosts and very prompt. We loved the views at sunrise and sunset, and enjoyed spending time at the patio.
