Enjoy the spectacular views of the beautiful Tusquittee Valley to and from this family-friendly retreat that is secluded, but not remote. It’s easy to find, but really hard to leave. The comfortably furnished single-story cabin is easily accessed up gradual rise on a graded gravel road (no scary mountain climbs!). The great room with gas log fireplace is cozy enough for two, yet spacious enough to accommodate family gatherings. Guests rave about our well-equipped designer kitchen. There are two bedrooms furnished with queen beds and two baths plus a bunkroom with twin beds adjacent to one of the bedrooms. 100% cotton sheets and towels, garage, central heat/AC, Wi-Fi, satellite TV, phone, DVDs, board games and puzzles are among the amenities galore. Kick back and relax on one of two porches, enjoy s’mores on the firepit, nap in the hammock, play in the creek, float in the pond or get out and explore! Easy walking to moderately strenuous hiking is just outside the door on lovely wooded private roads and foot trails to NC and National Forest Lands. Many local/regional activities, attractions and events await! Fish Compass Creek, nearby renowned Tusquittee Creek or canoe the nearby Hiawassee River. A good grocery store, golf courses and popular Lake Chatuge with beach-front picnic areas, playground and boat launches (rentals available) are just minutes away. Clay County is a great base camp for a variety of memorable day trips: Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Joyce Kilmer National Forest, The Biltmore Estate in Asheville, rafting the Nantahalla, the Smoky Mountain Scenic Railway, etc. Tourist meccas Helen, GA, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, TN and Cherokee Casinos are all within a 1-2 hour drive. Bikers love the scenic and well-maintained roads of Clay County and the famed 'Tail of the Dragon' is just an hour away. (The property has plenty of room for your toy trailer). Mountain bikers will enjoy the nearby Jackrabbit Mountain trails that offer a variety of trails of varying challenge levels. Other rental properties within walking distance make this an ideal location for family reunions. Great for when you want to be close to friends and family, but not necessarily under the same roof... (Contact information available.) Everything you need is right here at your new 'home away from home'. Once you’ve experienced Compass Creek, you’ll want to return time and again and you just won't find a better Smoky Mountain vacation bargain!
