Artful Mountain Retreats

Welcome to Artful Mountain Retreats in the Smoky Mountains of Western North Carolina. We have two locations in the Waynesville/Maggie Valley area (the J Creek Community) which are just minutes to downtown Waynesville or downtown Maggie Valley. Located near many places to shop, hike, visit many waterfalls, streams, lakes, rivers, we are also one mile "as the crow flys" to the Smoky Mountain National Park. The lights at Cataloochee Ski Resort are seen from both properties up on the mountain top . A few miles away, you can enter the Blue Ridge Parkway for incredible scenic views. The Biltmore in Asheville is 35 minutes away. We are located just off Interstate 1-40 at Exit 20, between Knoxville, Tennessee (90 minutes) and Asheville, North Carolina (35 minutes). Whether you are looking for an experiential space like the Artful DOME focused on relaxation and healing the mind, body and spirit or an extended stay of 30 days or more for a home away from home at the Artful COTTAGE (if you are 55 and over), we have two beautiful locations with many amenities to make your stay comfortable and convenient. We hope you stay with us!! - Nina Howard, Owner
