Details about this trip
✨ Escape to the Mountains. Let Someone Else Do the Cooking ✨ This 4-night all-inclusive retreat in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina is designed for those who crave a true escape; where every meal is prepared by a private chef using locally sourced ingredients, every detail is taken care of, and your only job is to relax, reconnect, and soak in the mountain views. Based in a modern mountainside log cabin near the charming town of Waynesville, you'll enjoy farm-to-table dining, hands-on culinary experiences, breathtaking nature excursions, and the rare luxury of being completely catered to in one of America's most beautiful landscapes. No cooking. No planning. No stress. Just mountains, magnificent food, and the reset you deserve. Open to just 4 travelers plus your guide (me!) and private chef. πŸ” Why the Smoky Mountains in June πŸ” June in the Smoky Mountains is pure magic. The summer warmth has settled in, the forests are lush and vibrant green, and the mountain air is fresh and restorative. Wildflowers dot the meadows, waterfalls run full from spring rains, and the long daylight hours invite leisurely mornings on the deck and golden evenings watching the sun dip behind the ridges. It's the perfect time to escape the heat and chaos of everyday life and retreat to the cool, peaceful embrace of the mountains. πŸ‘¨πŸ»β€πŸ³ Your Private Chef Experience πŸ‘¨πŸ»β€πŸ³ At the heart of this retreat is our talented private chef, who will prepare every meal using fresh, locally sourced ingredients from area farmer's markets.

Soco Falls

Day 4
Our first stop is Soco Falls, a stunning double waterfall where two streams cascade 50 feet down into a rocky gorge. The drive to Soco Falls is an experience in itself, winding through lush Appalachian forest along the scenic highway toward the Eastern Cherokee homeland. From the viewing platform, you'll witness both falls side by side: a truly magical sight. For those seeking adventure, an optional half-mile hike descends to the base of the falls for an up-close experience. This trail is challenging and known for being slippery, so proper hiking shoes are essential if you plan to make the trek. The reward is worth it: standing in the mist at the base of the cascading water.
