About this cabin rental
Whatever the season, Retreat in the Sky has something very special to
offer.
Whether you're sport enthusiasts wanting to be located in the hub of all the Smoky Mountain activities... or first or second time honeymooners, celebrating your wedding anniversary or birthday and hoping for that very special place... or vacationers/seniors looking for rest and relaxation.
We offer a fire log burning fireplace, a large deck with a swing to enjoy the beautiful view and an outdoor fire pit for those wonderful campfires (and we supply the wood). Retreat is centrally located for ALL of the Smoky Mountain activities!! We offer a great location. Just minutes to Bryson City, the Gateway to the Smokies... the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad... Fontana Lake, a beautiful mountain lake where you can swim, fish, and rent a pontoon boat for half or the entire day... the Nantahala Outdoor Center for whitewater rafting, ziplining, horseback riding, biking, and fun restaurants... Cherokee, you can try your luck at Harrah’s Casino... Deep Creek for tubing, hiking and picnicking.
Bear Cove Circle is probably steeper and curvier than what you’re used to. Our driveway is steep with a sharp turn but paved and you do not need a 4 wheel drive vehicle. We ask our guests to exercise caution with snow and ice and make plans to wait for melting to occur. Consider this part of the charm of being in the mountains.
But...if you're looking for complete seclusion, getting totally away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life...and doing nothing more than relaxing, reading a good book and enjoying being alone together...You will love Retreat in the Sky...the view is majestic and the only neighbors are the birds and occasional wild turkeys that come to visit..

8 / 10Excellent·May 2026
This property was comfortable, well equipped and there was an amazing view. The location offered many choices for outdoor activities and dining. We would probably stay here again.

Our host, Sandy, was super! She was very responsive and thoughtful. We didn’t have any issues but she made sure we were aware of the carpenter bees (we’re familiar and know they don’t bother people), made sure we made it in ok, and when I had a question at checkout, she was easy to get ahold of. She told us in advance that her driveway was pretty steep, and she wasn’t kidding! We live in the mountains but we were sure happy we followed her recommendation to drive the vehicle with 4 wheel drive. The views from the porch made the steep driveway worth it , though - gorgeous!

You could search high and low but you will not find a place with more privacy or that beats this million dollar view! Everything else is icing on the cake. Stop looking and book this place!!
