absolutely outstanding view!

My girlfriend and I chose the late-October dates that we did because we wanted to see fall colors in the mountains. We weren't disappointed! The view from the deck is outstanding and we were delighted to watch the colors change all week. The cabin itself is clean, spacious, and comes with everything we needed for our stay.

Amazing Views

Life has a way of happening and despite the numerous curveballs that came up before/during our trip the communication with Lani was unmatched. While we only got to enjoy the cabin for about 20 minutes I can tell you that watching the sunset there is unmatched. You won’t regret going to sleep to that view. We truly appreciate Lani and all that she did to make us comfortable.

What a view!

Wonderful view! Sun set durectly out from the balcony and the sunsets were spectacular! Only complaint was the loud refrigerator. Needs repair or an upgrade to make this a perfect escape place.

Amazing view!

The cabin was great for a very quiet, beautiful stay. The view off the deck was incredible—not one man-made structure within 180 degree Mountain View! Great sunset viewing every night! I would stay again!!

Incredible View

First, our communication with Lani the property manager was wonderful. She was extremely responsive and provided everything we needed for a seamless check-in. As for the property...super quiet. Extremely private and yet just 12 minutes to Highlands. But best of all...the view! Great views are hard to come by but this property has views that are out of this world! We spent most evenings sipping wine, cooking on the grill and enjoying the mountain beauty. It dropped below 30 degrees 2 nites but the space heaters kept the home warm and cozy. Would definitely book again. minutes t

A little piece of heaven

I chose this location based on the view for a weekend away to relax, unplug, and unwind, and boy oh boy, it did not disappoint! The view is breathtaking, the cabin was lovely and clean and charmingly decorated, the location was far enough away from civilization without being too far, and it was amazingly peaceful and relaxing - exactly what I needed! Lani was a very attentive co-host and every need was considered and preemptively prepared for for visitors. My personal recommendation is to take timelapse videos of the morning mists, the clouds, and/or the sunsets from the back deck - the vista is absolutely perfect for it! One thing I would point out is that the mountain roads to get here are very twisty and turny. This was by no means an issue for me, but if you have a pet or a passenger who gets car sick, come prepared.

the view!

Nice house off the beaten path. Comfortable furnishings and everything we needed in the kitchen. Although the house lacks central heat we used the provided space heaters and were very comfortable. The VIEW! Oh my gosh, there are no words. So beautiful and ever changing. The only sounds were the birds and the crickets and the breeze blowing through the trees. At night you can sit on the huge deck and watch the stars and satellites fly by, so dark. Even saw a shooting star!

Pritchard's Perch....Quiet in the Mountains

We stayed at this property for 11 days in May 2023. We gave them just a couple of days notice before our arrival. The place was immaculate! So very clean! and so Many amenities were at the property! Fresh linens, towels and blankets, a drip coffee pot with filters and coffee, we had a brand new charcoal grill along with charcoal, utensils, plates, glasses, even fresh ice cubes!!! The owner and property manager have thought of everything to help your stay start off successful. The property manager was also easy to contact should questions arise. The view is speclacular!!! Ever changing. We really enjoyed our stay in the area visiting with local friends and trout fishing. We also enjoyed the scenery....Highlands, waterfalls, the river, the views, all so surreal from a couple from Ohio. The driveway may seem intimidating to some, but we drove our minivan and had no problems. Stairs up to the main floor, you will live on the deck. Not much of a yard for young kids, but our two furbabies were allowed to stay. A perfect place for a romantic getaway, or to visit the area. There is no noise from people. Only a babbling stream to listen to down the mountain. Very Peaceful. If you are still contemplating about staying at Pritchard's Point.....Just Do It!!! You will not forget your stay.

About the host

Hosted by Lani Blakeslee

Why they chose this property

This lovingly handcrafted log home was once the intimate getaway for my husband and I to enjoy the embrace of the mountains together. Now that he is gone and the children have full lives of their own, it is time to share the wonder and peace of this special place with the next generation of families and lovers ...

What makes this property unique

This is the perfect getaway for folks who want to unplug from the daily bustle and commune with the natural world. Here, you will find gorgeous, expansive views from every window, the sweet lullabies of tree frogs at night, and birdsong throughout the day. Nature's abundance makes this cabin retreat a perfect setting for anyone looking for a quiet place to rest and access to all the Smokey Mountains have to offer.
