Guest access
The entire 65 acres are opened for our guests to explore, hike through, walk about, enjoy. The carport may not be available but there is plenty of open parking space all around house and cabin.

The house and the cabin can be rented separately. However, every attempt will be made to not have guests staying at the cabin if the main house is rented. The reverse is not true. If the cabin is rented and the property owners wish to visit the mainhouse, they can do that.

The main house has a keypad. There is also an emergency key box, should there be a need to have a hard key.

The key for the Cabin is in a key box outside the cabin. Guests staying at the main house ONLY should not enter the cabin or use any of the recreation areas around and behind the cabin.

The gate has a code which will be given to the guests upon officially reserving the home or the cabin.

VERY IMPORTANT - You must arrive at the property during daylight hours the first night you are staying at The Aerie. Once you are familiar with the roads to the property and on the property, you can, of course, come in and out as you see fit.

The foothill mountains of East Tennessee are small at the base but very tall. This means that the roads through these mountains are narrow and steep, and often times, road signs may be missing. This is the very reason for which the views from our mountains are so incredibly beautiful. Arrive early the first time and it will be a piece of cake after that.

The 1.3 mile road up to The Aerie, is 30-50 feet wide to the top, and built on solid ground so it is very safe to drive up and down the road, no need to worry.

The Aerie has a Grounds and Maintenance manager who lives 1/3 up the mountain. This is the only other person living on the mountain. There are no neighbors behind or on either side of the house; please feel free to ask the manager for any assistance you may need while you are our guests, directions, maintenance, etc., or communicate directly with the property manager using messaging board.

Stop at a grocery store on your way in (Newport) or bring your pantry needs as there is only one small market nearby (9 miles).
Other things to note
The Aerie will allow mature dogs only, no puppies or cats.

There is only one pet allowed in the house and/or cabin.

If your pet likes to chaise, please remember that you are surrounded by undeveloped, undisturbed land where wildlife roams freely--bears, deer, bobcats, cougars, boars, eagles, possums, squirells, racoons, etc. PLEASE keep your pet on a leash when outside.

About the host

Hosted by Monique Kennedy

Host profile image
My husband and I enjoy domestic and international travel. When we are at home at the Aerie, we sip coffee in the mornings looking at the sun rise over the mountains. In the evenings, we enjoy a glass of wine while in the hot tub, listening to soft jazz and watching the sun as it moves across the western sky on its way home.

We enjoy music of all sorts, classical, chamber, opera, and the sounds of crooners, of which my husband is one. We are up to date on current events but prefer meaningful television programming, mostly streamed now adays.

We live in New Orleans, Louisiana so Mardi Gras, jazz, and good food are a way of life for us.

Hope you enjoy our house and Cabin and return to it.

Why they chose this property

Del Rio is unlike any other town in the East Tennessee mountains, and yet, it is like all other small towns in the area. The mountains offer you seclusion, beauty, and a way of life grounded of core family values.

I first saw the majesty of the Smoky Mountains twenty years ago, on my way from Pigeon Forge to Asheville, North Carolina, after a business trip. In love with the views but not comfortable with the busynesses of either Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge, I headed east on route 25/70 until I arrived at downtown, Del Rio, an intersection with one realtor office, one post office and a small restaurant.

Curious about the natural beauty around me and the quietness I heard, I stopped by the realty office. The realtor said to me, "what took you so long, I've been waiting for you; I left that office with a property under my name.

And, I have never regret it.

What makes this property unique

You are renting an estate, a private mountain, a mile ++ long road up the mountain with no neighbors, surrounded by 650,000 acres of the Cherokee National Forest, 2,001 acres of the Martha Sunquist State Forest and another 400+ acres of undeveloped private land.

The House - Technology, married with comfort, views and ease of living are the core of the design of the house. From every corner of the house, you look at the magnificent East Tennessee mountains; 330-degree-views lets you see the sun rise and see it as it goes down for the night. Moonlit views are incredible, watch them from the hot tub or by just balancing yourself on a rocker on one of the porches.

A chef's delight, the kitchen has all you would need to make a large family dinner, barbecue it all, or just warm up leftovers. Dinner service lets you entertain 8 people, nicely seated at a beautifully set dinner table.

Enjoy a glass of wine looking at the sun set while enjoying a hot dip in the outside tub. Lit a fire on a firepit and enjoy the sky colorama across the front of the house.

Run music throught the house, in the master bath alone, master bedroom alone, hot tub, or let the sounds dance through all the porches outside. Home Matrix sound system is installed inside the closet in the front guest bedroom.

The Cabin faces East to North East, about 280 degrees of open mountain range views where the smoke rising from between the mountains often cover the mountains with white smoke. Behind the house, the sun sets over the ridge of the mountain but often times it is not seen in its totality as the protective ridge behind the Cabin interferes with an open view.

The Cabin is fully equipped with electronics, streaming services, laundering spaces, cozy beyond believe, and yet within 30-40 miles or every major attraction in the Smokys and in Western North Carolina: hiking, white water rafting, tubing, music, museums, food, fishing, etc. The best of all worlds, come enjoy it.
