MOUNTAIN AIR (the name of our cabin) has 2 bedrooms & 2 baths and offers a secluded getaway from the hustle, bustle and bright lights of the attractions areas and the crowded cabin resorts and puts you into the Smoky Mountains. We are very private with no other cabins in sight! Yet we are still near top attractions!

Nestled at forest level in a wooded holler, Mountain Air is about immersion in the trees, not panoramic vistas — lace up your hiking boots for those.

"This has to be one of the most peaceful places on earth. This was our second stay, and we can see ourselves returning again and again." - Todd H

⏤ YOUR SAFETY MATTERS ⏤
・Smoke detectors
・CO2 detector(s)
・Fire extinguisher(s)
・Current permits and registrations

Note: there is a variety of wildlife in the area. Never approach, feed, or attempt to attract any animals.

⏤ ENHANCED CLEANING ⏤
Our housekeeping partner has always had a strict cleaning regimen that is performed after every guest stay. That is designed to increase protections for our guests and our team members. Our reviews verify that we provide a clean cabin!

・Hot Tub: Drained, cleaned/sanitized, and refilled after every guest; fresh Bromine added.

・Linens: laundered and processed in a commercial facility with temperatures that exceed those recommended for laundry operations; disinfectant added as appropriate; dried at recommended temperatures; and, packaged until put out for guests.

・We are inspected and licensed by Sevier County Fire Department.

・Being so close to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, we do occasionally get bears, bobcats, coyotes, wild turkeys, bats, snakes, scorpions, lizards, and other wildlife throughout the area, as does most of the region. Pay heed to all warnings and *NEVER* approach any wild animal.

・Our proximity to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park also brings exposure to a wide variety of insects and other critters. While we are on a comprehensive pest control regimen, we are limited in the use of some preventative measures by our location. Lady bugs are a common issue. They are harmless and considered a "beneficial species". We also see quite a few Asian beetles, which are similar to Lady bugs. As a result, you may encounter occasional insects or similar creatures in and around the cabin.

⏤ READ BEFORE YOU BOOK ⏤

Mountain Air sits at the end of a private gravel road that winds through the hills and woods and may be considered steep in areas — it's part of what makes the seclusion real. AWD or 4WD is strongly recommended year-round; low-clearance vehicles, trailers, and motorcycles are not suitable. Search #mountainair37862 to watch a drive-in video before booking — we want you to arrive confident, not surprised nor anxious.

Mountain Air's own driveway is a mix of gravel and dirt, but is generally well-maintained. We have parking for 2-3 vehicles, depending on size. Turning around involves a 3-point turn or more, again depending on vehicle size.

Please remember you will be staying in the mountains and mountain roads can be tough at times, especially if you are not used to driving in the mountains. We cannot and do not guarantee any road surface conditions, especially during Winter. Most public roads are well maintained but can be winding, steep, and/or bumpy. It is not unusual to have roadways blocked or damaged by downed trees, especially after rain/snow or high winds. You are responsible for your own transportation. We cannot provide any transportation for guests. Weather conditions can be very unpredictable, and it is your responsibility to come fully prepared. We do not refund due to weather, road conditions, or the location of the property on the mountain. If you have any doubts at all, we encourage a Travel Insurance policy.

⏤ WI-FI, PHONE, & TV SERVICES ⏤

Cellular signals are generally weak at the cabin. We offer Starlink Wi-Fi. Weather or other issues can occasionally affect their operation and performance, so plan accordingly.
