ZEN MountainRetreatVilla•Hot Tub•FirePit•Fenced Yard•Dog-Centric•EVCharger•Games

Welcome to Country Zen Villa — Your Peaceful Smokies Escape with rare Fully Fenced Yard!

Designed for multigenerational families, dog owners, and groups seeking comfort, space, and relaxation.

Located on the quiet side of the Smokies with easy roads and no steep cliffside driving.

Country Zen Villa is a peaceful and spacious 3-level mountain retreat designed for families, dogs, and groups who want room to spread out and enjoy the Smokies together.

Enjoy mountain views from a fully enclosed wraparound deck, let kids and dogs play freely in the fenced yard, and relax in the hot tub or around the fire pit after a day exploring the national park.

Inside, the home features a beautiful wood spiral staircase connecting all levels, a fully stocked kitchen, two gas fireplaces, a movie theater room, and a game room. Every detail is designed to make group travel easy, comfortable, and memorable.

This was the perfect place for a two day getaway for my husband and me and the pups. The house is in a quiet area with a beautiful view off the front porch. The hot tub and fire pit patio are perfectly situated for enjoying the view. The pups had a blast with the super-large fenced yard. Mira has done an amazing job decorating the house, with great attention to detail. The kitchen is well stocked for any of your cooking and serving needs! Overall, our stay was comfortable and quiet, just what we wanted. Mira was very communicative and pleasant, the perfect host.
