Look no further- you found the one! This is Porch Dreamin'- the perfect blend of mountain peace, modern luxury & location! Not your average rental cabin- the energy is different here- and once you stay, you will see what we mean. Updated regularly & well-maintained by private owners, this clean, spacious cabin is situated on a quiet loop in serene Wears Valley- close to all of the adventures the area offers including Pigeon Forge, Cades Cove & Gatlinburg, yet providing a peaceful oasis for low-key family time. With no winding roads or cliffs to navigate, you will have easy, year-round access without compromising on the views. Here you can relax, recharge and roam in the Smokies. Take a morning walk, raid the coffee bar and pick your spot on the wrap around porch spanning 3 sides of the cabin to take in the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park - literally across the road! You can relax in the screened in porch or on the large side deck with multiple seating areas, a propane fire table, dining area with picnic table, a sparkling clean hot tub & a view of nature's magic in every direction. Or maybe the bed swing or rocking chairs would be more your speed. Head down to the huge yard and take a seat in one of the chairs while the kids play in the "Kid's Cabin" playhouse or start a pickup game of football. Don't forget to star gaze and make s'mores on the deck before bed.
On the first floor, the great room has vaulted ceilings and stylish mountain aesthetic. The generously equipped kitchen includes a large island with 2 built in drink and wine mini fridges and a stocked coffee & hot chocolate bar. The adjacent dining area seats 6-8 comfortably. The main level also includes a queen bedroom, a 3rd bedroom with 4 custom, twin bunk beds for your cubs to hibernate, a full bathroom & a laundry room with washer & dryer.
The open loft space upstairs has a large leather couch, an arcade table (61 games to choose from!), dart board, large flat screen TV, board games and a lending library full of books - you can borrow a book to take advantage of one of the many spots to read or leave a book when you are finished. There is also a desk with a stunning view if you need to plug in during your stay (we hope you don't).
The over-sized primary bedroom is also upstairs with a King size bed, a twin day bed - and a large walk-in closet. The ensuite bathroom has vaulted ceilings, double vanity, a walk- in shower & a large, jetted tub with a view!
A new charcoal grill and EV charger are located by the large, covered driveway with parking for multiple cars. Additional trailer parking available on oversized lot with advanced owner approval. We also have an EV extension cord on site, so please let us know if you have an EV.
We take great care with Porch Dreamin' and enjoy this mountain retreat with our family and we truly hope that you will enjoy it with yours!
