Whether you are looking for a relaxing escape or a cozy base camp for adventure, this lovingly maintained and cared for log cabin has it all. Enjoy hot coffee on your private balcony attached to the Master suite or enjoy a crackling fire with a nightcap in front of one of your three wood burning fireplaces. Take a hike down the Troll Trail or stride down Fairy Lane to your own outdoor stage area with a large fire pit. Ready for adventure? Pack a water bottle and grab your hiking stick, then follow the nature trail to your own hidden eighteen-foot-tall waterfall and spacious natural swimming area!
Privacy at its finest! Being on 4.5 acres, and adjacent to National Forest Service Land in the heart of the Smoky Mountain wilderness, you'll find yourself surrounded by trees, hummingbirds, and crisp mountain air. The retreat is newly updated and furnished with 3 bedrooms and 2 ½ baths, plus a sleeper sofa in the living room. Each sleeping area comes with a Dohm Sound Conditioner, high thread-count sheets, and the most luxurious mattresses available. Enjoy dinner while listening to the intoxicating sounds of nature on your spacious verandah with teak dining table. A fully enclosed porch surrounded by windows is ideal for keeping cozy on snowy winter nights. The living area welcomes you to relax and read a book, complete a puzzle or unwind with a movie.
Everyone will enjoy the over 4,500 games on the brand-new full size 4 player arcade (multicade). So many games to choose from, including Pac-Man, Frogger, Tetris, Super Mario Brothers, Contra, Joust, Burger Time, Donkey Kong and hundreds of other classics.
Stay active during your mountain getaway with our garage gym featuring a REP Fitness rack, dumbbells, resistance bands, and jump ropes for your strength training sessions.
Challenge family and friends to table tennis matches on our professional folding ping pong table, or gather around our gaming tables for board game nights.
Children are sure to enjoy their adventures acting out plays in front of the mountain carved theater seating or making smores in one of the fireplaces. With 2100 square feet there is space for everyone to find their own book worthy nook.
