Area guide

What to do once you’ve unpacked.

Our cabins sit between the quiet side of the mountains and everything visitors come here for. Here's how we'd spend a week.

Misty layered ridges of the Great Smoky Mountains at dawn

In the park

Great Smoky Mountains National Park is on your doorstep, half a million acres of ridgeline, waterfall and old-growth forest.

Cades Cove Loop

An 11-mile one-way loop through a historic valley. Go at sunrise for deer, black bear and mist sitting in the fields. Vehicle-free mornings in summer are perfect for cycling.

Laurel Falls

A paved 2.6-mile round trip to an 80-foot waterfall, the easiest big payoff in the park, and doable with kids.

Clingmans Dome

The highest point in Tennessee. A steep half-mile climb to an observation tower with a hundred-mile view on a clear day.

Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail

A narrow 5.5-mile drive past rushing streams, log cabins and the trailhead for Grotto Falls, where you can walk behind the water.

Towns & attractions

When you want noise, neon and funnel cake, the parkway is fifteen minutes away. When you don't, it's easy to avoid.

Dollywood

World-class coasters, craftsmen at work and the best theme-park food in the country. Book ahead in October.

Downtown Gatlinburg

The Gatlinburg SkyBridge, the Arts & Crafts Loop, and a walkable strip of moonshine tasting rooms and pancake houses.

The Island at Pigeon Forge

A great big wheel, a musical fountain, and enough shops and restaurants to fill a rainy afternoon.

Sevierville

Quieter than its neighbours, antique malls, the Dolly Parton statue on the courthouse lawn, and better parking.

Slow days

The trips people actually remember usually involve water, food, or doing nothing at all.

Tubing the Little Pigeon River

Cold mountain water, an inner tube and two lazy hours. Summer only.

Wears Valley drives

Farm stands, roadside barns and mountain views without a single stoplight, the prettiest way to reach Townsend.

Local tables

The Old Mill in Pigeon Forge for cornmeal-dusted everything, Local Goat for burgers, and Crockett's Breakfast Camp if you can get a seat.

The porch

Fire pit lit, hot tub bubbling, phone inside on the counter. It's why you booked a cabin.
