Welcome to The Chickadee Nest Retreat / Hot Tub WiFi

5 star property on other platforms! We aim to make sure all guests have an amazing stay!

This home was thoughtfully decorated and supplied. It’s super inviting and has all the luxuries of home. The owners have tried to think of everything to ensure that guests have a memorable stay. The views from upstairs and downstairs are breathtaking!

Description
Newly remodeled and completed in October 2023 with custom finishes, The Chickadee Nest Retreat is a 4 bedroom, 2 bath cabin nestled on a hilltop overlooking a valley with breathtaking views! All bedrooms and gameroom also have their own TV! All new luxury linens and bedding. All the furniture is new and the dining room table has seating for 8. This beautiful home is the perfect spot for couples or large families to escape and recharge! Come home after a long day of adventures and relax in the 5-person hot tub. The hot tub patio allows for star gazing and sunset watching! The upstairs deck is covered and has several seating choices for a perfect spot to enjoy your coffee or a beverage! Access to the cabin is gravel, well maintained and right up to the front door. No need for a 4-wheel drive vehicle. Chickadee Nest Retreat is only 4 miles to downtown Franklin, 19 miles to Sylva, 24 miles to Bryson City, and 35 miles to Cherokee. If you are flying into the local airport on Airport Road, the front door is less than 3 minutes away. The possibilities of fun are endless. Show off your cooking skills both indoors and out. The Chickadee Nest Retreat has a spacious kitchen with stainless steel appliances and is stocked with various cookware for the chef in you to enjoy. If it’s BBQ you prefer, there’s a fire pit and BBQ area just outside below the deck with a gas BBQ grille (propane always included), Adirondack chairs and a high-top pub table for outdoor dining in the fresh mountain air. The property has speedy WiFi, but it may be weak or limited at times since the property is in a rural area. We welcome your furry friends and there is a strict NO SMOKING policy inside the home. We ask that you dispose of your tobacco trash in a water bottle! This cleanup is easy and reduces the risk of fire!

Upstairs host a king bedroom, queen bedroom, kitchen, living room, bath with stand in custom tile shower. Downstairs you will find a queen bedroom, one set of bunks bedroom with toys for the kids, a full bath with tub, washer/dryer, pool table and game room area with a large 55 inch TV. The hot tub is located on porch with coverage and is private. The fire pit allows for gathering and roasting on those cool nights! Don’t worry, your furry family members will enjoy their time and have plenty of space to roam. We do require that all animals are accompanied by their owners on a leash at all times when outside.

Ladies annual getaway

There was 8 of us ladies ranging from 25 to 83. My sisters and i take our mother on a vacation trip to mountains every year. This year we stayed at The Chicadee. The place was great met all of our needs. We did have an issue with the washing machine and had to run to the laundromat to wash towels. Talked to Mandee who was very helpful and apologetic. We rode the train at the Great Smokey Mountains Railroad and had a great time. Highly recommended. Also some of our group went white water rafting, did some shopping and exploring. Had a blast and highly recommend The Chicadee as a place to stay..

So much fun and this gorgeous cabin

The cabin is great Very spacious and beautifully decorated. The popcorn bar and numerous seasonings were a big hit with everyone. The cabin is laid out so Kids can have the downstairs area With board games, Television, play area with plenty of toys and A private hot tub overlooking the beautiful mountains. We visited waterfalls, fish for trout, cooked on the outside grills And visited a local area that had swimming, outdoor games and a huge pond loaded with trout. Plenty of room for parking and a very private location and it was dog friendly. This is probably the best cabin we have ever stayed at in the mountains. I would highly recommend this cabin for families traveling with children or just adults. The upstairs porch has beautiful views and was a great place to play cards in the evenings and have our coffee first thing in the morning!!
