Sanctuary Shores Retreat | Space for Everyone, Stress for No One
Your stay includes complimentary tickets every day to top Smoky Mountain attractions like Dollywood and Ober Gatlinburg (one free admission per activity, per day) — but the real value starts at the house itself.
Sanctuary Shores Retreat is a clean, modern 4-bedroom home designed for groups who want to stay together without feeling on top of each other. With two separate living areas and a downstairs kitchenette, this home is ideal for families, couples traveling together, or longer stays where privacy matters.
Upstairs, you’ll find a bright open living space, a fully equipped kitchen, and a primary bedroom with direct access to the upper deck. Step outside to enjoy outdoor dining under the umbrella, fire up the pellet grill/smoker (a rare find for vacation rentals), or unwind in the hot tub after a day exploring the Smokies.
Downstairs offers its own living area and kitchenette — perfect for teens, grandparents, or anyone who wants a little extra space to relax, watch TV, or grab a snack without heading upstairs.
Located in a quiet resort community in Sevierville, the home is just a short walk to the clubhouse and resort pool, giving you easy access to family-friendly amenities without the noise and crowds of larger complexes.
Whether you’re planning a quick mountain getaway or a longer stay, Sanctuary Shores Retreat delivers the space, comfort, and flexibility that make group travel easy.

Great place!
This was a great house to stay in. It was very clean. The host was very responsive to any questions I had. It is in a great area and easy to get to Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, Gatlinburg and driving through the Smoky Mountains. It was very nice having a pool and clubhouse to use. Would definitely recommend this place and we would stay there again!

Overall great place to stay would go back
There were only a few minor things we had issues with while at the property. The first is it is a gated community which is no problem but we were not informed of this initially so we were a little confused. We figured out after a few minutes that the door code for the house was used as the gate code. The house was very clean the only downsides were there were a few burned out light bulbs and the smoke detectors downstairs were unplugged from the ceiling and the showers did not drain well. Overall we enjoyed the stay and had a great holiday and the owner responded to any communication within 30 minutes or less. We would definitely go back.

Great Location close to the Tourism, but far enough to not have to deal with the daily traffic
This was an absolute fantastic location. It sits about 26 - 30 minutes away from the main tourist strip. The community pool is visible from the front porch and a quick 2 minute walk. The house was roomy, clean, and had everything we could need. I think weve found our go-to vacation rental for our annual trips!
