While I was born in Illinois, I have also called Arizona, New Mexico and Kentucky home. I love traveling and seeing the world in my own country, as well as around the globe. I have been lucky enough to experience many careers in management, international music schools, the movie industry and finally as a Chef. I have left the daily restaurant scene for the moment to travel and work Food Festivals across the country. I love hosting and work hard to make sure my guests have a wonderful experience and that they feel welcome in their home away from home and help to make special occasions even more special. I love it when guests request special items for loved ones, whether it is wine, a cheese and meat tray, a cake, or flowers. In my free time I love to read recipes, cook, garden, travel, learn about the area and attractions. We love to hike! We are so lucky to have a wonderful area filled with so many beautiful hiking areas, waterfalls and wildlife in the truly Great Smoky Mountains. I want to make sure your vacation is memorable and relaxing and always enjoy welcoming return guests back year after year!

We value our privacy and know most of our guests do too. We don't want to be in our hot tub looking at someone else in theirs! We love the Smoky Mountains and the relaxation the mountain air brings. We chose this property because of it is quiet with all the things you need to make it a home away from home, yet still be on vacation as you sit on the covered porch and listen to the sounds of nature.

Our property has the best of both worlds! We are in a quiet, secluded area, yet just off the main Parkway. We can stay in and relax or drive the 15 minute drive to the Gatlinburg City Limits and enjoy all the sights and sounds it has to offer. We are a few short miles from the Cosby Entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which has some amazing hikes and picnic area. It is usually used by the locals, so you will find it less busy than other parts of the Park. If you want to say you have traveled the Appalachian Trail, you can do so from this entrance.
