Living Room
A brand-new sectional (fall 2021) and a large flatscreen TV invite you to kick your shoes off, sink into the couch, and put your feet up for a relaxing afternoon of reading by the fire and watching movies at the end of each exciting day. Squeeze in an afternoon nap in the relaxing atmosphere of soft white surroundings and ski-lodge charm.
Gather around a warm fire burning in the gorgeous cobblestone fireplace to play games like charades or share drinks with friends while catching up and sharing your favorite moments from the day. Melt into the cozy reading chair by the fire after the kids have gone to bed and listen to your favorite podcast or answer a few work emails using the chalet’s high-speed internet.
Kitchen
Make your trip even more fun by cooking elaborate dinners and hearty breakfasts together in the charming fully loaded kitchen providing plenty of cooking and serving tools for meals. Pale wood cabinetry is complemented by white appliances, creating a soft, relaxing space to put together a picnic lunch for your trip to Cades Cove or prepare your signature dishes for a multi-course meal. Granite countertops coming in early 2022!
Brew hot cups of coffee to enjoy while seated around the deck dining set as the sounds of the babbling river and early songs of the birds drift through the crisp mountain air. Unlike stuffy hotel rooms, you have a full-size refrigerator to store leftovers from generously portioned meals at The Alamo and Corky’s BBQ and a microwave to reheat your tasty dishes for the perfect midday snack.
Dining Room
Light a fire and set the mood to your own alluring Smoky Mountain dining atmosphere in the open-concept dining room with two charming wood tables. Gather around the 4-chair set while the kids eat at their own table nearby for hearty homemade meals in between days of dining out at The Old Mill and Flapjack’s Pancake House.
Once forks are down and bellies are full, clear the table and load the dishwasher before settling back into your seats for an evening of your favorite board games from home, sharing laughter and making memories late into the night. In the mornings, enjoy coffee and freshly toasted English muffins as you discuss the plans for the day and map out your excursions in Cades Cove.
Bedrooms
With 1 king, 1 queen, and 1 twin bunk, these spacious, homey bedrooms provide tranquil atmospheres to unwind and drift off to sleep after each exciting day in Pigeon Forge and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In the master suite, you are treated to direct access to the back deck, perfect for stepping out and breathing in some fresh mountain first thing to start your day. Watch some late-night TV before drifting off in the king bedroom. Hardwood flooring, direct bathroom access, and soft bedside lighting in all 3 rooms lend you and other guests convenience and ambiance all while providing peaceful wooded views through the windows to wake up to each day.
Outdoor Amenities
