Whittier Woods Retreat. Smokies, Bryson City. Pet-friendly, Family Get-A-Way. | House in Whittier

ABOUT THE HOUSE + PROPERTY:
Located on the “quiet” side of the Smokies, Whittier Woods Retreat is a 2,000 sq. ft.house with sweeping mountain views and just 15 minutes from the entrance of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Spend your time relaxing on the covered deck as you take in the majestic mountain views and sunrises, roasting marshmallows around the fit pit, enjoying family style meals around the large table, cooking together in the fully stocked kitchen, playing games from our collection of lawn and board games, reading a book and sipping an early morning beverage in the coffee nook. Nearby, you can also explore the local, small towns and magical national park or Blue Ridge Parkway trails.
With a modern-meets-classic design, our recently renovated house maintains a classic feel with a beautiful stone fireplace and pine walls, balanced with a modern style and amenities to meet your needs.
The two levels of space are perfect for a family with kids, a family with grandparents, two families sharing the upstairs/downstairs space, or simply a group who would like their own separate spaces. This space is also ideal for groups in town for weddings or family gatherings.
Put the kids to bed early and still enjoy the living room, kitchen, deck and mountain views. Enjoy reading or relaxing in the two cozy reading chairs while staying warm by the gas logs from the indoor stone fireplace. This property provides a secluded feel and is located at the end of a private road separate from the surrounding neighbors. The spacious, flat yard is perfect for dogs and kids alike to play, and the tucked away fire pit area offers the opportunity to stargaze in a clear, non-light interfered setting. Located on just under six acres, this property offers a unique, tucked away feel, and yet offers easy access to many popular amenities and local attractions.
The upstairs master bedroom has a king-sized bed. The downstairs bedroom has a queen bed, and the third bedroom has three full sized beds. There is also a separate space with a queen pull-out sofa. Both upstairs and downstairs include separate entertainment areas, each with 55” TVs. Downstairs also includes a foosball table and a table for playing games or teleworking.
