Traveler’s Rest

Want a place to unwind after your days of hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, checking out cars at the Shades of the Past Rod Run, shopping at the Tanger Outlets, playing at Dollywood, or just strolling along the busy Parkway downtown? Book Traveler’s Rest, where you’ll find cozy spaces, comfy furniture, soothing surroundings, and a long list of amenities to keep you comfortable, relaxed, and entertained.

It features the conveniences of home as well as lots of great Smoky Mountain extras like a wood-burning fireplace, mountain and wooded views, and an outdoor hot tub.

No matter why you’re here, you’ll enjoy the fun and comforts found at Traveler’s Rest. Guests can play pool, sit back on the porch swings and in the rocking chairs, fire up the charcoal grill for a barbecue, soak in the jetted tubs (2), take advantage of the high-speed wireless Internet (check out our blog), or just enjoy quiet days in the privacy and comfort of your own cabin. Traveler’s Rest is also a pet-friendly cabin, so you can even bring along those furry family members!

Living room
At Traveler’s Rest, you’ll find Southwestern-style décor throughout the cabin. When you arrive, make yourself at home in the cozy living room that features exposed wood beams, dark wood floors, and a stone fireplace with a beautiful wood mantel. After a big meal at Bennett’s Pit Bar B Que, come back to the living room of Traveler’s Rest to unwind. Two stylish leather sofas flank the fireplace, so you can easily watch your favorite shows, movies, or a ball game. A lovely coffee table is the place to keep snacks nearby or play cards, or you can let the kids gather around it to play a board game or color. In summer months, flip on the ceiling fan to keep cool. In winter, let the warmth from the wood-burning fireplace fill the room and provide that cozy Smoky Mountain feel you’ve been dreaming of. Whether it’s rainy, too cold, too hot, or you just want to stay in and relax, the living room in Traveler’s Rest will be just the place to enjoy your time in Pigeon Forge.

Kitchen
The sleek, modern design in the newly-remodeled kitchen of Traveler’s Rest is a great contrast to the cozy cabin feel in the rest of the home. The light cabinets, black appliances, and tile backsplash are elegant, and the warm wood cabinets and slate tile floor make it feel right at home in the cabin. Guests will love the convenience of having a fully equipped kitchen right at their fingertips, with a refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, oven/stove, and small appliances like a coffeemaker and toaster. It’s also equipped with ample dishes, utensils, and glasses, so you can enjoy meals in the cabin when you don’t feel like going out. And with a sliding glass door leading from the kitchen to the deck, you’ll get plenty of light when you’re cooking or doing some dishes.

Dining area
Pigeon Forge has a lot of great options when it comes to dining. In Pigeon Forge and neighboring Gatlinburg you’ll find almost any cuisine you’re craving. Satisfy your appetite for Italian, German, Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, American, Southern, Cajun, and an array of desserts – donuts, fudge, ice cream, frozen custard, old-fashioned candies, cupcakes, apple pie, fritters, and beyond. But when you don’t want to go out to eat (or just want a private place to enjoy your take out), you’ll have your own dining area in Traveler’s Rest. A dining table for 4 is situated next to the sliding glass door leading to the deck, so you’ll get wooded views as you enjoy your meals. You can whip up homemade meals in your kitchen, or you can just order a pizza to enjoy here. On nice days, take your food out onto the deck and eat at the picnic table. Or you can head to the rec room where you’ll find a second table for 4, so you’ll have plenty of places for everyone in the group to eat.

Bedrooms
The 3 bedrooms in Traveler’s Rest will offer the rest you need after long days in Pigeon Forge. Each bedroom is also its own master suite, meaning each bedroom has its own private bathroom. And for those who want to soak and relax before bed, two of the bedrooms have separate jetted tubs. Two bedrooms have king-size beds, and 1 bedroom has a queen-size bed, so each guest will get a cozy place to retreat. Dressers and nightstands with lamps will be more welcome conveniences, making you feel right at home in the bedrooms here.

Outdoor spaces
Traveler’s Rest features more than 1,000 feet of outdoor living space over multiple deck spaces where you can relax. Enjoy a covered porch and upper and lower decks that boast amenities such as porch swings, rocking chairs, gliders, and a picnic table. You’ll even have a covered gazebo with a new hot tub, giving you privacy and a place to really relax and let your troubles wash away. Enjoy beautiful views of Mt. LeConte during the day and fantastic city lights of Pigeon Forge at night. You’ll also have a grill by the gazebo, so you can fire it up for a barbecue night with hot dogs, kabobs, burgers, and steaks.
