A compact package that delivers the goods, that’s what you’ll find waiting at Overlook Nook. This small but mighty 2-bedroom, 2 bath home certainly lives up to its name and you can see it from the moment you drive in, with its majestic view “looking over” the Great Smoky Mountains just a stone’s throw away. Even though this home is located in a small family-friendly neighborhood, don’t let the simple cottage style exterior fool you. The instant you walk into its living space, you are drawn in by the attention to detail and amenities maximizing the property’s smaller footprint with eye-catching artwork and modern furnishings in a refreshing clean space.
Overlook Nook invites you to stay for a night or two but makes you want to stay much longer. Norm is not the word here, where you’ll find understated elements to make your visit more enjoyable with everything from yoga mats to granola bars, to the latest in board games and DVDs, plus an outstanding “Give a Book, Take a Book” library. Modern lighting touches and a well thought out kitchen, center island station and modern high top dining area lend to an ambiance of space functionality. Plus, its open floorplan is designed to keep conversations flowing. Always with the guest in mind. Out on the deck, a gas grill, large outdoor seating area, rockers and hot tub await. So does that amazing view. The firepit with oversized Adirondack chairs welcomes you home to sit under the stars visiting with friends.
Sleeping four adults comfortably, this home features one king primary bedroom with full bath and a second guest queen bedroom with full hallway bath with tub/shower combo. Flat screen TVs are available in each bedroom and in the living space. This home is perfect for a few nights or for a weekly or seasonal rental and includes central heat and air, full size washer, dryer, streaming cable, high speed internet, as well as an electric fireplace.
