This place is a Gem! 180 degrees of Smokey Mountains to view from a very private, huge balcony/deck! No trees in the way! Better views from the back deck than you'll get from any of the Foothills Parkway over looks! Amazing!
The home is beautiful! Very nice, tasteful, thoughtful decorating. Appliances are updated and clean. The inside is bigger than you would think from looking at the outside.
We were never big fans of jacuzzi's, but the Jacuzzi that Angie has on this deck is amazing and just what my back needed after 12 hours of driving! We used it every night!
We have Verizon phones and although there is no Verizon service, we just set up our phones to use the internet calling feature and we had no issues making our receiving calls and text messages. (I have Android my wife has iPhone.)
It's about 20 minutes from Maryville where you'll find plenty of restaurants and stores to fill all your needs. The drive up to the place and down is easy if you take the Foothills Parkway. If you take Montvale-Happy Valley-Flats there are 4 Switchbacks which if you are not used to can be a small challenge at first, but once you conquer them the first time, it's not bad, and kind of fun!
The driveway is downhill, but you can do a 3 point turn around at the bottom and park it facing the road, or just back down which I did looking out the door and using mirrors. Again, once you do it, it's easy.
Angie is a wonderful, easy to contact host. She's always ready with a recommendation for restaurants, attractions, stores or whatever you need help with! The perfect host!
We WILL be coming back! And we are recommending Angie's place to everyone we know!
