Located 2.9 mi (4.7 km) from Douglas Lake, this vacation home is within a 10-minute drive of Harrisburg Covered Bridge. The vacation home includes a kitchen, a fireplace, and a refrigerator.
Traveling with little ones can be challenging -- but we make it easier! Our home is on 2 wooded acres, & has a peaceful pond with a fishing house. We offer a boat with paddles to explore the pond, fishing poles & tackle...no licenses required! We are close to everything fun in the Smokies! 2 King suites, 2 bunk rooms, 4 outdoor living spaces, a playground, basketball hoop, fire ring overlooking the pond, pool table, huge gourmet kitchen, games, DVD's, TONS of baby gear, lots more!!
Our home is at the end of a cul-de-sac in a very quiet, serene little subdivision. We are close to all the tourist attractions, but out of the tourist hustle and craziness! A mellow, paved drive leads to our 2 story, spacious home, where the front porch invites you to sit a while. The front yard has a large playground with a swingset/fort, separate playhouse, geodesic climbing dome, saucer swing, climbing rope, and lots of room to run. The side porch has padded recliners for parents to relax and keep an eye on the kids, and the bbq grill.
Inside, you are greeted by a huge open concept gourmet kitchen and dining room. We are foodies and take cooking seriously...this is a fully equipped kitchen in a way you probably haven't seen before in a rental! There is plenty of silverware, table ware, pots, pans, kitchen tools, kitchen machines, 3 convection ovens, 5 workspaces, 2 cooktops, a spare freezer, and every convenience you could wish for! We also provide all ziplocs/food wrap, foil that you need, a FULL spice assortment, baking basics, oil, popcorn for the hot air popper, etc.
The dining table seats 10 comfortably, and there is a kid's table and chairs for little ones in the living room that can be moved into the dining room so all can enjoy a meal together. We decorate the dining room for every holiday with festive garlands, tableware, and table decor, so you can have effortless special occasion meals here. The living room has a propane fireplace, lots of comfy seating, a pool table, a foosball table, kid's table, and a door that leads out to the side deck.
There is a half bath accessible to all the living space.
The downstairs king suite features a king bed, large flat screen HD TV, sitting area, and it's own tiled en-suite bathroom. There is also a portable crib (NOT a pack and play, but a small crib on wheels with a comfy soft real mattress) that can fit in this bathroom, with a darkening shade for the window in there, to sleep an infant in the suite.
We have built-in (but optional) baby gates at the top and bottom of the stairs. Upstairs there is a full laundry with front loading washer and dryer on a pedestal, ironing board and iron, sink, and all laundry supplies are provided.
The first kid's bedroom upstairs is the "game zone" with a bunk bed with trundle, many bean bags, a big flat screen TV, a retro game system with controllers, and a kid's DVD collection of over 200, along with 2 portable DVD players for kids who don't like what's being played, so that everyone is happy. In the closet there is a prodigious game collection, for game nights par excellence!
In the next room, there are two bunk beds, one with deep storage drawers beneath it. There is also a play tepee, a kid's book collection and some games as well. The hall bath serves the kid's rooms, and has a full tub/shower. We provide kid's shampoo, bubble bath, and tub toys.
At the end of the hall is the upstairs king suite, with a spacious king bed, gas fireplace, and seating area, flat screen TV, and en suite bathroom. The bath has dual sinks, huge walk-in tiled shower, and toilet compartment. Next to the king bedroom is a dual purpose room -- a dedicated workspace overlooking the pond, and a space devoted to providing all the "parentphenalia" that we all rely on to make taking care of our little ones easier...it's here, so you don't have to haul it with you, or do without it! Swings, baby baths, gyms, activity centers, toys, pregnancy pillows, boppy nursing pillows, diaper genie...you name it, it's probably in there!
And in the king bedroom walk-in closet is the Nap Nook -- in the back half of the closet there is a full size crib with a nice, thick mattress, a changing table, and a comfy glider, along with a white noise machine, a baby monitor, and a dimmer switch on the lights, to make naps a reality, even on vacation! The house is baby-proofed to a great degree, and we believe that it will make vacationing with little ones much more fun.
There is a pathway down to the fire ring, which overlooks the pond, with 2 separate benches made from a cedar tree that fell in our own woods, which we split and mounted to allow places to enjoy the view of the pond. You have access to our little boat "The Grey Heron", named for birds which often visit our pond, and it has paddles to navigate the acre wooded pond, as well as an anchor if you want to fish in the middle of the pond. There is a locker full of life vests of all sizes...please don't go in the boat without one! The fire ring has adirondack chairs for adults as well as little people, and we offer a stash of cured firewood to enjoy a fire there...kindling can easily be gathered in the woods, so you can enjoy a fire on the bank of the pond...and some s'mores.
The fishing house is at the end of the pathway. It has a mini-fridge, a ceiling fan, electricity, and stools, and makes a great place to fish, feed the fish (we provide daily baggies of floating fish food for you to enjoy watching the bluegill feasting on it), or have a picnic with the 2 picnic baskets that you'll find on the living room shelves. Young, athletic people may want to return to the house the direct way -- up the hill by the green knotted rope guide, but that's a workout, be warned!
At the back of the house is a long covered porch which looks out on mountains, woods, and the pond. One one side, there is an outdoor eating table with 4 chairs, there is an outdoor games storage tub and cornholes, horseshoes, etc. in there, as well as the basketballs for the hoop on the side of the driveway by the house. On the right side there is a circle of 4 swivel rockers with nice thick pads, lots of tables to set you beverage on, and there's mood lighting on both sides that can be turned on at night to give you ambiance. There's also another little playhouse at the base of the house with little chairs in it, that kids may enjoy. We hope that our house supports you making lots of good memories with the people who are important to you!!

Truly a Mothers Dream!
Wow … where does one start? First, the listing is not only very accurate but also barely encapsulates how truly awesome this property is for families. These owners clearly delight and pride themselves in being hosts and giving families not just an experience but a BREAK Was there everything we needed and more? Without a doubt! With the extra child roofing measures and thoughtful items in the “parent dream closet” I actually got a real BREAK as a mom of two kids younger than 5. Karen was wonderful to work with, and I can . say our every expectation was surpassed felt like we were staying at a family house.

So ABOVE and Beyond any other House. Better than the Photos!!!
We visited Sevierville for a family wedding. We had three other VRBO's within the family. First and for most NONE compared with this one! A welcome basket was just the beginning!!! This set the tone to hospitality. It was almost magical how beautiful, thoughtful, and well equipped this house was. The photos of the house as beautiful as they were, did not do justice to the spacious, quiet, peaceful setting. Every aspect was great, down to the GIANT kitchen, open floor plan, rooms were far larger than the photographs showed. Things like plenty of dish's, dish towels, the attention to detail at every level. The outdoors are PERFECT for kids and relaxation. The location was extremely convenient for all local events. The extra space to know this house has something for everyone and with its furnishings the place for a large family event or the PERFECT vacation!

Perfect getaway for active kids and tired adults :)
This is the best VRBO we have ever stayed at. The home was clean and beautifully decorated. It had every toy or gadget you could possibly need when traveling with kids. Our older boys enjoyed the gaming room. Our younger boys had plenty of space in the second bunkbed room. Our littlest girl slept in the extra space off of the master bedroom upstairs. My parents slept in the downstairs master. The home owners have toys and games for a wide age range and all 5 of our kids were entertained our entire stay. We enjoyed chess, cards, fooseball, and the pool table indoors. The kids loved the outdoor play equipment, fishing, and boat. Ingredients for smores were also provided as an extra nice touch. The homeowner is extremely responsive via text or call. This house is a DREAM for parents!

Excellent property with attention to detail!
We stayed 4 nights with our very good friends and their kids. The house was clean, spacious and extremely accommodating. If you are traveling with children this is the place to stay. Our kids loved the pond, playground and toys throughout the home. We had 10 people in our house and never felt crowded or like we were missing anything. We couldn’t have asked for a better house or a more accommodating host.

Amazing host!
Karen went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. She asked if we needed a crib setup, brought croquet over for our kids, and was super responsive. She was very responsive to even the slightly question.
The kitchen is amazing! We stayed at vacation homes before and usually leave you lacking from what you have at home. We have a fully stocked kitchen at home and theirs was still more than what we have. Everything about the home is a great way to make a vacation feel relaxing and easy like a home away from home.
Highly recommend and we will try to stay again if we visit the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area again.
