Blue Nest Mountain Retreat

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Nestled in a quiet community in the mountains of western North Carolina, this multi-level home is the perfect place to relax and unwind while taking in the spectacular views of the Nantahala Forest.

Ideally located for outdoor recreation, you’ll find premier rafting, kayaking, and mountain biking directly at your fingertips. Rockhound Ridge Gem Mine, Peoples Golf, and Smoky Mountain River Adventures are all located within a 20-mile radius. Spend a day mining for beautiful gemstones, playing a leisurely round of golf in a picturesque something, or experiencing the thrill of whitewater rafting. Smoky Mountain National Park and the Appalachian Trail provide world-class hiking and breathtaking views. The nearby towns of Sylva, Franklin, and Cherokee offer dining, shopping, and antique hunting.

Step into this mountain hideaway and be greeted by sun-soaked, wood-panelled interiors and open-concept living areas with high ceilings. Snuggle up on the sofa to stream your favorite movies or get cozy with a cup of cocoa by the wood-burning fireplace. A well-appointed kitchen boasts modern appliances and plenty of storage space for effortless meal preparation. Gather for home-cooked meals at the spacious dining table and then break out the board games. Even better, challenge your family and friends to a pool tournament. The vast outdoor living space feels luxurious with comfy furniture, an outdoor grill, and a hot tub on the upper deck. Host a summertime barbecue, sway in the hammock with a favorite book, or indulge in a rejuvenating soak under the stars. The extravagant features and rustic charm of this alpine paradise will create vacation memories to last a lifetime.

Additional amenities we love in this home include central air conditioning, access to electric vehicle charging, and a private washer/dryer for those packing light.
