In addition to the hot tub, the large screened porch has a teakwood table and chairs and comfortable furniture. The deck is great for relaxing with your loved one on the swing and enjoying the spectacular short and long range views, grilling out and dining on the umbrella table or rocking and enjoying the wonderful feeling that comes with being in the mountains.

About The Owner

Ty and I have been sharing our vacation home, Retreat in the Sky, with guests for over fourteen years. It has been fun, sometimes very challenging...but most of all...a rewarding experience. Our goal is... and has always been ....to provide a wonderful vacation experience for our guests..

The Owner purchased this cabin in 1998
Why The Owner chose Bryson City

We fell in love with Bryson City the first time we visited. It is quaint, friendly and surrounded by beautiful mountains. We found the perfect spot to build our second home. It's close to the top of Bear Cove Mountain in the Smokies. Our view is outstanding. Retreat has a privacy that is hard to describe. Our first home is three hours away and fourteen years later, with our car packed with all our stuff, heading for Bryson City and our Retreat in the Sky, we're still excited.... after all these years, we still can't wait to get there.

What makes this cabin unique

Sitting on the swing on our deck...enjoying the beautiful view...is the ultimate in relaxation. Retreat in the Sky can only be reached by driving up the private road and then you drive up some more on our paved driveway. We are not on the road so no one can see us or drive by us. So you see, we also have the ultimate in privacy. We not only have a great deck filled with flowers and a beautiful landscaped setting, We're only five minutes from Ingles Supermarket and only ten minutes from just about everywhere else.

The most exciting new activity has to be ziplining....our guests just rave about how much fun it is...take a ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway... it is unforgettable...pack a picnic lunch (picnic pack for two at Retreat for guests use) and mountain gaze, and you must go to Highlands and Cashiers (great shopping and restaurants) and visit all of the waterfalls in the area, the Biltmore Estate in Asheville is only one hour away...you should plan to spend the entire day as there is so much to see, go for a hike at the Joyce Kilmer forest or Deep Creek, visit Dollywood and stop at all the outlets on the way, Win some $$ to take home at Harrahs Casino in Cherokee and enjoy a great dinner there as well. You will NEVER run out of things to do. Or, never leave, sit on the deck at Retreat in the Sky and enjoy the privacy, the wonderful view and each other!

Notes:
What makes Retreat in the Sky so special?? Maybe it's that the road in Bear Cove is mostly paved and you don't need a 4-wheel drive vehicle to reach it, or maybe it's that it's so convenient, only a few minutes to Ingles to pick up those limes you forgot, then maybe it's because of the privacy, it sits up high on the mountain all by itself, you would never have to see or listen to any other vacationers, but then maybe it's the view, whether you're inside or out, the view is everywhere and it's beautiful, could be the hot tub; most hot tubs are outside, yours would be inside the screened porch, you could use it rain or shine... maybe it's the comfort, feather beds, pillows everywhere, maybe that's it, maybe it's having a deck AND screened porch, sometimes you could even want privacy from each other, or even maybe the outside woodburning firepit for marshmallows and fun. We love it all and we think you will too!

wonderful home in Bryson City on top of the mountain. Fabulous views, very cozy, warm home. Loved the hot tub on the screened porch. Plants everywhere. All creature comforts have been provided by the owners who take great pride in maintaining a beautiful home. If you are looking for a relaxing experience, look no further!

Owner's Response: Thank you, Kate. You were wonderful guests and we are so happy you especially enjoyed the hot tub. We like it being inside the screened porch so it's there for you to relax in all kinds of weather and you don't need to go outside. It is always a pleasure to have such special guests like yourselves that make Retreat their home away from home. Our housekeeper said not only did you take great care of Retreat but you watered all the plants and flowers. We hope you'll return someday!!

A Charming Getaway in the Sky!

I booked a stay at the Retreat in the Sky as surprise for my boyfriend's 26th birthday! When we arrived, he was speechless. The pictures of the cabin online do not do it justice! The outside is beautifully landscaped with a variety of flowers which creates a 'park-like' feel right in your front yard! Not to mention the cute firepit in the yard and the beautiful bench for a relaxing pit-stop. Every nook and cranny of the cabin is decorated perfectly. I felt right at home (and what a GORGEOUS home it was!) in the spacious, country-themed cabin. It was a great mixture of homey, romantic, country-chic. We got the best sleep of our lives in the firm 4 posted bed located in the main bedroom. I slept like a log every night and woke up to the most amazing view each morning. I won't even begin to describe it. Also note-able is the hot tub, which I soaked in on all 3 nights of our trip! The temperature was just right, the jets gave a wonderful massage, and it was the perfect size for two people. The location of the cabin is the perfect distance from just about everything- we were 15 minutes from the Nantahala Outdoor Center where we whitewater rafted and 20 minutes from Harrah's Casino where we gambled our pennies away! I can't really say enough about how wonderful our vacation was, but I can say that we will definitely be back!

Owner's Response: Shaquera and Brandon..we cannot thank you enough for being guests at Retreat. We are so excited for you Shaquera, that you were able to surprise Brandon and that he had such a wonderful birthday! You were certainly the perfect guests and we hope you will return. Thank you too for taking your time to comment (unsolicited) and say such wonderful things. Thank you...thank you....thank you!!

Stayed here over Thanksgiving holiday 2012 (four nights). I can not imagine a more romantic, picturesque place for a couple. We fell in love again every day and night. The photos in the listing are accurate, but don't do the home justice. The views of the mountains are incredible. The sunsets are indescribable. The decor is warm and cozy, the hot tub just right, the fire pit wonderful and the opportunity to create memories of a lifetime every moment with the one you love.....priceless.

The drive to the home is very beautiful along the Great Smoky Mountain Expressway. The final mile to the home is a thrill ride...in a good way.

Bryson City is lovely. Downtown, Jimmie Macs has the best burgers anywhere. There is a large grocery store 5 mins from the home. The hiking within 10 minutes of the home is superb. An abundance of streams, waterfalls and great views. Hikes from 1/2 mile to 11 miles. Asheville is an easy 45-60 minute drive. Beautiful scenery enroute.

Dealing with the owners was easy and enjoyable. They are very attentive and have created a perfect retreat in the sky. The home was very clean and everything worked as advertised.

We will be back to discover what every season has to offer many times!!!!!

Owner's Response: Luke, and his special lady Kendal, are very lucky indeed. You just have to know that this happy couple see beauty everywhere they look. But the truth is, we were the lucky ones because we got to have them as guests at Retreat and we got to see our vacation home through their eyes. This happy couple who love life, nature, the great outdoors and each other! Thank you Luke, a million times over for your wonderful comments. Next time you and Kendal have to try the ziplining...everyone seems to love it.

We have stayed at Retreat in the Sky for our anniversary week twice, last October and this October. We have stayed in multiple cabins on the Tennessee side of the mountain and even one other on the NC side and this one is our very favorite!! First, the location is wonderful as far as being close to Bryson City, not far from other small towns, as well as close to the National Park and Blue Ridge Parkway. Second, the location is beyond wonderful as the cabin is positioned perfectly on the mountain with gorgeous views of the distant mountains, beautiful sunsets, morning clouds hanging in the mountains, etc.........stunning!! We appreciate the one way road up to the cabin and back down, as we've stayed in cabins where meeting someone on the curvy, mountainous road is not a fun experience! It's amazing to wake up, sit up in bed and see mountains for miles and miles! The cabin is clean, well furnished and creatively decorated and we feel comfortable making ourselves right at home for the week! Sandy always makes sure we made it there safely and is attentive to any questions we may have. Our week is spent hiking most every day so our main time in the cabin is from dinner time on for the night, though a rainy day would be wonderfully spent just staying at the cabin! We love the mountains and love our long day hikes and it's nice to come back to a hot tub for our weary muscles! We were happy to utilize a NC hiking, waterfall, etc book in the cabin this year that told us about a few hikes off of the Blue Ridge Parkway that we hadn't done. We are working ourselves through a "Great Smoky Mountain Hiking" book that we bring each year. We enjoy the quaintness of Bryson City and the sweet shop owners of various shops that feature NC crafts/art. We ate at the Mexican restaurant this year and enjoyed it and always enjoy "Cork and Bean", a darling coffee/wine shop! I would totally recommend this lovely cabin and it's location to anyone looking for a real get away from life and the real world and it's craziness!!! It truly is our "retreat in the sky" even if it's just for one week each year!!! Thank you Sandy and Ty!!

Retreat in the Sky is exactly that a "retreat". The location is amazing and the views are breathtaking. Josh and I had a wonderful time relaxing in your beautiful home. We will definately be planning another trip and hope to stay there again soon.
Thank you to Sandy and Ty for the wonderful directions, care and love they showed us by opening up their home to us. If you want to get away and enjoy book Retreat in the Sky.
Until next time, Kathleen and Josh
