Happy Camper (1-Bedroom Cottage) by RedAwning
Happy Camper is a cottage designed for escape from daily pressures and
enjoyment of God's creation, as found in the Great Smoky Mountains. It is
equipped for relaxation, contemplation, and memorable fun. Nestled at the base
of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in beautiful Wears Valley,
Tennessee, “Happy Camper” rests on a shady and secluded knoll, easily
accessible from scenic Highway 321 and within minutes of a Park entrance and
action-packed Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.
Nature abounds on this 15+ acres of property. Deer, rabbits, squirrels, and,
yes, bears all inhabit the surrounding woods and would be considered your only
neighbors. A mountain pathway adjoining “Happy Camper” invites you to stroll
or hike among mature hardwoods, mountain laurels, and rhododendrons. Find the
park bench along the path and stop to enjoy a little solitude. The driveway
from Covemont Road (county road) to the property is in excellent condition. If
you arrive at night, no problem; motion lights will automatically illuminate
for you! Only six steps up from the driveway, you have arrived on the covered
entry deck with a keypad door!
Welcome inside the Joanna Gaines' motif “Happy Camper,” where the fully-
equipped kitchen awaits you (owners are parents of five and grandparents of
seven, so they know the importance of having cookie sheets, a toaster, and
plenty of pots and pans available to you). Even a washer and dryer are hidden
in the kitchen closet. A dining table seats four easily, and TV trays are on
hand to extend seating or to use while relaxing in living/sunrooms.
Additionally, there is a custom-built picnic table and a gas grill right out
the door for al fresco dining and grilling.
The living area boasts double leather recliners, a shag rug, large tv, and a
Murphy bed with a top-of-the-line SealyTM mattress (single size). A cozy gas
corner fireplace will provide beautiful flames that are great to watch while
also providing an excellent source of warm heat! The adjoining sunroom has two
loveseats (one of which makes out a single bed and a comfortable mattress).
The sunroom is a favorite place to stretch out with a good book!
Everything needed for a wonderful night's sleep or an afternoon nap is
included in the bedroom. King-sized bed (again, with top-of-the-line
mattress—owners say a good night's sleep is essential to a good vacation),
phone docking stations built into side tables, custom-made shutters to enjoy
both privacy and the natural beauty of the outdoors. There is also a TV in the
bedroom if you want to end your day with a good movie or wake up to some
morning news (but why?).
The bathroom is accessible from both the living area and the bedroom and
includes a full-sized see-through corner shower and sink with space for
additional items (makeup, toothbrushes, etc.). Forget your hair dryer? No
problem. There is one in the bathroom for you! The bathroom also has a nice
window to enjoy additional light and nature outdoors.
“Happy Camper” has a covered front porch with rockers (metal porch roof, so
you will enjoy hearing the mountain rain). Additionally, the front porch deck
is completely enclosed with a latched gate so that little ones or small pets
are kept safe. On the back and a private side of the carriage is an open deck
featuring a built-in hot tub (also with a latched gate), Adirondack chairs for
soaking in the afternoon sunshine, and a view directly towards the outdoor
firepit. The hot tub is brand new, just like everything else at “Happy Camper,
and is professionally maintained with the highest standards of cleanliness.
Go straight into the woods from the open deck and gather your own kindling and
logs for a memorable night around the campfire (hot dogs and marshmallow
skewers are in the kitchen cabinet). Create your own personal ambiance on the
private deck, in the hot tub, and around the fire pit. The night is yours!
Seize the moment!
“Happy Camper” is the perfect cottage for two but can also accommodate two
additional guests, including the custom-built Murphy bed and the pull-out
sofa.
Some extra information:
Our water is straight from the mountains via a private well full of vitamins
and minerals. It tastes excellent, so much so that many people come to get
their drinking water from this area.
Road Conditions to This Cabin:
All are easily accessible roads. As you turn off paved Covemont Road onto a
gravel road, be sure to keep your speed steady as you climb the slight hill;
bear to the left/straight ahead at the "Happy Camper" sign. Do NOT go right on
the road. The cabin is in front of you at the turn where the sign is located.

Beautiful little home
This house was the perfect size for just myself, husband and two dogs. We were just close enough to town but still had plenty of privacy. We especially enjoyed reading on the large deck while our dogs enjoyed the forest views. We even had deer walk across our driveway one morning :)

Perfect Long Weekend Get-a-Way
My boyfriend and I were taking a much needed few days away from the current working from home environment we are in with our careers during this crazy time. The cabin/cottage was everything we could have asked for! Spacious for the 2 of us, very inviting and cozy, and the hot tub was a great added bonus after a long day of hiking. We were far enough from the hustle and bustle of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, but still really close if we wanted to hang out in town. We took a back road each day into the park and loved the scenery this route provided! The décor of the space was very trendy and we loved it! We felt right at home and were truly able to relax and enjoy the nature around us. We will definitely book this place again in the future. We loved it!
