About this property

LOOK! Peaceful, updated family cabin! Hot tub/View/Porches/Location/EV charger!

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!
Note: Steps are required for entry and not suitable for those who may struggle to navigate them. Guests will not have garage/basement access nor use of the fireplace. Cabin has a whole home water filtration system. No smoking/vaping indoors nor outdoors on property.
**Location: The entrance to the Foothills Parkway is less than a mile away from this Smoky Mountain paradise. Metcalf Bottoms is a fantastic picnic spot in the national park and features tables, grills, and the cool waters of the Little River. In terms of dining, local favorites Hillbilly's Pancake house, Elvira's Cafe and the Wears Valley Social (alternating food trucks and weekend entertainment) are all within a few minutes. Heavenly Roast Coffee, multiple wineries, a moonshine distillery and several general stores are also within 5 minutes. Turn left on Wears Valley Road to visit the peaceful side of the mountain- Townsend -making this one of the shorter drives to Cades Cove- or turn right and head straight into Pigeon Forge where the main attractions (Dollywood, Dollywood Splash Country, Pigeon Forge Snow, Dolly Parton’s Stampede, etc.) are approximately 13 miles away.

Boho Mountain vibes

We absolutely loved our stay! The home is nestled in a beautiful area close to town and attractions. The home itself has a great layout and is decorated exactly as I would decorate my own home. We spent most of our time in the screened in deck area while the kiddos enjoyed the hot tub. The game loft was also a big hit with the kiddos! We are now on the hunt for a vintage Pac-Man game for home. Already talking about making this home an annual trip for our family. Thanks again!

Great location

My husband, almost 2 year old and I loved staying here for our family vacation! It was a great location with access to so many activities in town or in the park. The small town right by the house, Wears Valley, offered great coffee, food options, and a couple of local shops. We would recommend this place again and again!

Great Family Get Away

My family (my elderly parents) and my two teenage sons spent a few days here after the new year. We were delighted to find the property even more charming than it appears to be in pictures. The house decor was lovely and everything was well appointed. The house guide created by the owners was especially helpful in helping us plan our trip into the National Park. While in the park we saw two bears - such an unexpected treat, especially this time of year. We had a great time and enjoyed some of the games available in the house. The trip could not have been better. When we had questions, the owners were quickly responsive and beyond helpful. We are already looking forward to coming back. Thank you for a special family vacation! Your cabin is perfect and we enjoyed every minute there! - rfp

Cozy & Comfy

We came up the day after Christmas to enjoy the fresh air in the mountains. The kids loved it! We mostly hung out at the cabin, watched movies, sat in the hot tub and played games. We made it to the Alpine mountain coaster and had a blast! We made some great family memories!

Great location, quiet neighborhood

Great to be away from the busyness of town. Neighborhood quiet. Quick drive to Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge or Great Smokies. Home was well-appointed. Appreciated the little extras like coffee, shampoo, toiletries, detergent. Owner was promptly responsive to questions. Plenty of room for our family of ten.

This home was everything we could have asked for in a rental. Views were amazing, the house was well kept and had all the amenities and more. Great location out of the busy areas. The homeowners were great and answered any questions we had. They were available via text message thought-out our stay. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a Smoky Mountain Getaway.

Smokey Mounted Get away

Overall our stay was great! The cabin is what is pictured online. The host was very prompt, getting a hold of you and answering questions. There was a leak under the kitchen sink and they had somebody out ASAP to fix it. The only thing would be the wasps are really bad, especially going up the stairs outside and my mom got stung right away. But overall it was a really good experience.!

Great Stay

House was really well suited for our family of granparents, parents, and kids. Location was excellent for getting quickly and easily to areas of GSMNP and Pigeon Forge/Dollywood. Porch Dreaming is a perfect name for the house and we spent loads of time on the various decks relaxing, eating, am coffe and pm drinks, hot tub, etc. Owner included a lot of little things like dishwasher pods, laundry pods, soaps, etc. to get you started on the week and was quickly responsive over text with any questions or issues. Everything else was easy to get at Wal Mart in Pigeon Forge or IGA in Townsend. Really like the quiet neighborhood, the little "town" of wears valley, and of course the views. We would stay here again.

BEST stay in the Smoky Mountains

Our family (kiddos ages 3-8) stayed here while visiting Smokey Mountain National Park. It was just. perfect. The mountain views from this home nestled in the valley were just stunning! We loved our morning coffee on the porch and appreciated the easy drive into the park. And don’t skip the food truck park down the street- all of us loved that too! Hope to be back soon!!

Just what we were looking for!

We were looking for a relaxing retreat with beautiful surroundings for our spring break family vacation and this place was perfect! This home was more than enough space for our family of four and was very clean and comfortable with great amenities. Our kids (13 and 10) loved the loft space with all of the games, we all loved the hot tub and beautiful views from the wrap around porch and huge deck, and my favorite thing was listening to the stream that runs through the property as I drank my morning coffee. The owners sent us tons of recommendations for activities, restaurants and hikes, which was very helpful as we had never been to the area. We loved the location of the home in relation to activities and the setting in a quiet residential area. I have already recommended this property to several friends and would definitely go back!

Absolutely Beautiful Cabin

We had a great time. Such a beautiful cabin and in a great spot (especially if you don’t want to drive all up the winding roads). The owners we dealt with were amazing. The only problem we had was there were dead flies in the Master Bath when we arrived but it had sat a while before we rented it. The owners contacted us and made it right. They were great to work with and we appreciate them. We would definitely come back to this cabin in the future, we will keep it in our favorites for sure. Our children and grand children all enjoyed it and can’t wait to come back. Thanks for a great family trip.

About the host

Hosted by Jody Elston

Host profile image
We are a Tennessee family who loves to travel and decided to purchase property for not just our use, but to share with others. We strive to provide a rental experience that we expect as travelers- with an emphasis on the family- and that you will count among your favorite memories.

Why they chose this property

We searched for the perfect Smoky Mountain property and when we almost gave up- we found this property and KNEW we could make it a beautiful spot to enjoy for decades to come. It has a great location with beautiful views- a wrap around porch to enjoy them from- and a non-touristy feel that we want when we travel to the mountains. There is an inner peace that we find while we are there- and we hope that you do as well.

What makes this property unique

The Wears Valley location is stunning and leaves behind some of the hustle and bustle of the Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg areas. Less traffic- more time to enjoy what the Smokies have to offer.
