Breathtaking Sunrises in the Smokies :: A Cabin for Families near Cades Cove

With a stunning view of the Chimney Tops, Mount LeConte and all the glory of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Sky Haven Lodge overlooks Laurel Valley from atop the foothills of the Smokies.

After a restful night's sleep on one of 5 beds (spread through 3 bedrooms and common spaces), wake up each morning and enjoy coffee on one of 3 decks with views for miles (no, literally -- like, 13+ miles!) and air so fresh your lungs will thank you.

From there, take your time making plans for the day in your spacious 2,700 square foot getaway. With two common areas, a large dining area, game room and a gigantic loft, there's space for everyone to kick back and have fun.

Enjoy breakfast (or lunch or dinner!) in our 10-seat dining area or outside on the screened-in porch.

What to do? Oh, the list is endless! Stay close with a tee time at Wild Laurel Golf course or head over to the clubhouse pool and get refreshed. Just around the corner are numerous outdoor adventures for the entire family, including: Hiking, rock-climbing, tubing, kayaking, fishing and more! If you'd prefer to take it easy, there are several scenic drives nearby, and beautiful Townsend with its local shops, crafts and restaurants is less than 8 minutes away.

Of course, you're also just minutes from Cades Cove, the Tuckaleechee Caverns, and Clingman's Dome, with the Island at Pigeon Forge and Dollywood/Splash Country both just 40 minutes away.

When your day is wrapping up, enjoy the fire in the sky at sunset. If it's cold, cozy up next to your gas fireplace with a cup of hot cocoa. And as the night gets dark, head up to the top deck for unparalleled stargazing.

An exterior security camera monitors the parking area, giving you extra peace of mind. While smart thermostats provide maximum comfort and smart locks so you'll never have to keep track of a set of keys!

Sky Haven Lodge is here for you to get rejuvenated and make memories to last a lifetime.
It would be our delight to host you.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Sky Haven is beautiful! It had plenty of room for 4 adults and 4 children ages 12-16. Kids got a lot of use out of the pool table. I really enjoyed having my coffee on the lower deck on one of the swings. The view is absolutely stunning! There was an issue with the a/c but Chris was on it before we even realized there was a problem. He was really amazing! I definitely recommend Sky Haven!

Great House. Beautiful views.

Great house. Beautiful views. We had some in our party wake up hot at night a few times with the air having to remain at 70 or higher. Some of us were fine. Still giving 5 stars because there is a reason for the air to stay this temp and we loved the house and location otherwise.

We were visiting the area to celebrate our son’s graduation from UTK, but did not want to stay in Knoxville.This was a perfect location for us.Simple 30 minute drive to the airport and about a 45 minute drive to campus.We hiked, we golfed, we ate great food at Dancing Bear Bistro, we enjoyed coffee on the porches in the morning and we even saw a bear right on the property!!

Spectacular Scenery

The views are amazing at this house! A very beautiful place, I wish we had more time. Our group of 8 had plenty of room. We had an event in Maryville and also wanted to spend some time in the Smokies so the location was ideal between the two. Chris was friendly and responded immediately to any questions we had. The fitness room was well equipped and clean and the pool was inviting but we never got a chance to swim. The road to the house is very steep but we all managed just fine. We will be happy to stay again if we ever have the opportunity.

New years trip!

We booked this cabin for my parents 50th wedding anniversary and had a blast! Townsend is such a nice area. Quiet but also close to Gatlinburg so we took the kids to the aquarium one day. We took a good hike to a waterfall, suitable for kids one day and it was gorgeous and so fun. The cabin was perfect for all of our diff families to sleep and we enjoyed the fireplace, cooking together, playing games including the pool table and old school Mario was a blast! The owner wrote back immediately whenever I asked something. Will stay here again and again hopefully!

Nice Cabin - Everything we needed

This was probably one of the nicest interior cabins that we have stayed at! There are no TV’s in the bedrooms, just living rooms, but that was honestly very nice! The adults nor children resorted to rooms and watching tv and we all spent time together as a family! This cabin had everything we needed! Beds were super comfy!
