NEW KITCHEN, 3 POOLS+HOT TUB+MEMORIES+mobile DISCOUNT @ Goldilocks Haven.



The scenic mountain drive to Goldilocks Haven ends as you round the bend and get your first peak of the majestic, towering log ‘Chabin’ (chalet + cabin) with a bright red roof, fronted with decks on all three levels. The driveway brings you to a quaint seating area with firepit, grill and games. Once inside, you immediately know your stay will be fun as you enter the game room with pool table and PacMan. The view from the hot tub is stunning, just as it is from all the chairs, table seating areas, and swing on each of the decks. The open floor-plan kitchen, dining and living room creates a venue for enjoying time together over food and games or relaxing in front of the fire. The main floor bedroom and two upper bedrooms (2 King beds & 1 Queen - sleeps up to 9 guests) are spacious and inviting, with comfy beds and outdoors-inspired décor, all designed professionally, to bring the beauty and feel of the natural setting and wildlife indoors, further enhancing the feeling that you're TRULY leaving behind the concrete jungle for the tranquility the Great smoky mountains National Park have to offer you! Two full bathrooms, one on the main and another on the upper level, recently renovated. If you want to be close to Gatlinburg and the Great Smokey Mountains National Park, but off the beaten path for privacy and views, Goldilocks Haven awaits your arrival!

The house was in a great location and was stocked with everything you could possibly think of. The kids loved all of the games and activities. Paula was by far the best host I have ever worked with! The information she provided about directions, driving do's and dont's, check in and just generally checking to see if we needed anything was awesome. We would definitely stay again!

This cabin and owner more than meet expectations. The owner has put a lot of thought into supplying all your needs. Although we had no kids with our group, this is a great place for them. So many games and activities. And the owner is great with communication. She checked on us to make sure everything met our expectations. Will definitely book again.
