Whittier House | Pet Friendly Mountain Home on a Private Pond

1 Bedroom House in Whittier

Close to the Smoky Mountains National Park, Cherokee, and Bryson City. Great views of Fall foliage, and many hiking trails. The house (and our adjacent cabin, which we will also rent for an extra charge) is a couple of miles from the nearest blacktop road, on a private mountain with just a few other houses, none of them in sight. We're nestled in our own little valley with our own lake (or pond, if you insist) and a view of trees and mountain tops to take your breath away.
We see lots of wildlife including chipmunks, rabbits, squirrels - a family of flying squirrels visits our deck every evening, to take seed from the bird feeder, - bears, deer, coyotes, turkeys, possums, and raccoons. Our neighbors say they recently saw an elk.
The price listed is for the house only. Please send an inquiry if you also want to rent the cabin. We don't rent only the cabin.
Reservations are available year round, with a minimum three night rental. The house sleeps 4 comfortably: 2 people in the king-size bed in the master bedroom and two more on the queen-size sofa bed in the living room. (The cabin also sleeps 2 in a queen-size bed in the bedroom. It has a bedroom, living room kitchen, and bathroom.)
All towels and bed linens are provided. The kitchen is fully equipped with pots and pans, etc. Just bring your food.
Bill said: "It's a beautiful get-a-way in the mountains. We loved the drive up the mountain. It was SO quiet. The house has everything in it we needed. We especially loved the big windows everywhere. It almost felt like we were outside. Loved it. It was just what we needed."
Josh wrote: "Harry place was amazing. Everything was clean and the place was well-stocked with everything we needed to cook. It was very secluded and beautiful; .. The place was within very close proximity to the Great Smoky Mountains NP, which was fantastic, since we spent most of our time hiking there. We would definitely come stay at Harry’s place again!"
Greg (3 visits): "My family had an awesome vacation here. Pictures do not do it justice. My wife described it as staying in a treehouse. Harry's house had more than what we needed or expected. If you are looking for a mountain home to stay in, this is it. Super quiet! Close proximity to any adventure you care to take. Do yourself a favor and enjoy the NC mountains here!"
The house is about two miles up a steep, private, unpaved road on the mountain. Our neighbors further up the mountain have a minivan and a VW Beetle, so you don't need 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive but, if you have it, use it. There are about eleven other homes on the mountain, although none are visible from the house. You will pass some of them on the way. It's very private and it's about 10 miles to the nearest grocery store, so make sure you bring everything you think you will need.
We are adjacent to a part of the Qualla Boundary, the reservation for the Eastern Band of the Cherokee. If you drive to Bryson City (10 miles) on Old Bryson City Road (not the highway) you will pass through the reservation.
The nearby town of Whittier (5 miles) has a Post Office, a hardware store with a few groceries, and a number of churches. The Great Smoky Mountain Railroad passes through the town.
We are about 15 miles away from Cherokee, where there is a large Casino, but much closer to beautiful public areas of countryside with waterfalls, walking, canoeing and kayaking, tubing, fishing, and other enjoyable outdoor activities.

Summary: This home was the best mountain vacay rental we’ve ever stayed at. Pros (no cons): the owners communicate everything you need to know to make your arrival as seamless as possible, from advice about the drive up the mountain, to instructions on the various (and very effective) heating elements. They take a ton of pride in their home/property and it shows. And they take their role as VRBO hosts seriously. The home was spotless- I felt more comfortable and at home there than any other rental. Every amenity you could ever need in a pinch was available including basic food items and all things dog related. Firepit/wood, grill, 2 car garage to unload out of the elements. We mostly didn’t have cell service just at the house, but that’s expected and had no impact on our comfort since the WiFi worked flawlessly. Comfortable living room furniture with cable TV and Netflix. We hooked our laptop up to the TV to watch stuff from other streaming services. The 8ish min. drive up/down the mountain shouldn’t be a deterrant. Intimidating the first time (esp. at night), but you get comfortable with it fast and the road is in perfect condition. We did it with and w/o 4WD. It feels like you have the mountain to yourselves, but the light from nearby homes shining through the trees at night remind you that you’re not alone and help is close should you ever need it. The view was stunningly serene. The house is all windows so you’re always reminded of the beauty surrounding you. It’s perfection!
