"I have lived much of my life on the Tennessee and NC side of the Smokies. Qualla is the best place to live. You will be very close to Cherokee, Sylva, and Bryson City. The National Park is about 15 minutes away. In Qualla, you do not feel surrounded by the commercialism of Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg. It is quiet and peaceful. Access to the major highways is easy during snow; in 11 years we never got snowed in. Smoky Mountain Elementary is a wonderful school. Golf is now available with Sequoyah National Golf Club just minutes away. It is the best of the Smokies."
