NEW NECTAR MATTRESS in the master bedroom! And a NEW SWINGING STATION with swinging chairs under the carport.

An outdoor closet contains an assortment of lawn games, such as cornhole, can jam, horseshoes and a giant jenga, just to name a few!

Lots of outdoor areas to relax and play in. Even a big tree swing on the hillside providing a beautiful mountain view.

High chair, pack n play and a umbrella stroller are provided.

Pigeon Forge-less than 30 minutes away.

McGhee Tyson Airport-25 minutes away.

We spent four nights here and had a very enjoyable stay. We selected this property due to its easy access to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. With two bedrooms, the house was larger than we needed, and had ample comfortable places to sit and read. We particularly particularly enjoyed sitting on the porch after a day hike and a shower.We ate most of our meals at the house. The kitchen is generally well stocked, but could use a couple of new pans and sharp knives. All in all, this was a great place to stay if you want easy access to the park.
