Get in touch with nature right out the front door by taking a walk along miles and miles of secluded hiking trails that lead into the Smoky Mountains National Park. If you're hoping to see elk, you may get the opportunity as there have been many sightings of herds that live in the surrounding wilderness. This is your chance to escape and connect with nature, but without sacrificing comfort for your family and friends. Everyone will be begging to come back to Blue Ridge Barkway - even your dog! 

**This home is located only 15 minutes from the Cataloochee Ski Area 

Important Property Notes
• Seasonal Gas Fireplaces are not operational between Memorial Day and Labor Day. 
• No Mountain Discovery Pass  
Please note that Blue Ridge Barkway does NOT include the Mountain Discovery Pass (the included Biltmore Ticket, Skiing Pass, or other seasonal activities). We hope that you enjoy the low rental prices and beautiful views, even though these gifts are not included at this property.
• 4WD or AWD Required 
Often the best views in WNC are the hardest to get to. The property you are staying at requires a 4WD or AWD vehicle to access year round due to the steep driveway. Please ensure that your vehicle is properly equipped and the 4WD/AWD feature is engaged before attempting to access the property. Vehicles that are not equipped with this feature may incur service charges for towing if they get stuck, or for repairs to the driveway necessitated by a 2WD vehicle spinning for traction. Please ensure your vehicle has sufficient clearance as well (i.e. SUV, Truck, or raised sedan). Low-clearance vehicles with 4WD/AWD are not recommended. For the extra effort, however, you are rewarded with seclusion, beauty, and a lot of fun just getting there!
• Travel Insurance Recommended
During the winter months we ask you to please consider CSA Travel Insurance to protect your vacation investment from potential winter weather events that could prevent access to the home. 
• Limited Internet
This property has extremely limited internet service. Please note that it cannot be used for video calling, transferring files, or streaming music or movies. The internet service is only available for basic web browsing and checking emails.• Noise Ordinance
Blue Ridge Barkway is located in a quiet community where noise travels at night. This home is under a noise ordinance between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. and has a very low noise tolerance. It is not suitable for groups that are looking for late nights of celebration on the back deck. The good news is that we have many properties that offer seclusion, so if moving indoors at 10 p.m. is an inconvenience for you, please give us a call and we will help you find the perfect property to match your needs!
