About this property
Elf’s Secret Hideaway, Spectacular Mtn Views + Christmas Cabin Escape Game
The Secret of Santa's Christmas Spirit at The Elf’s Secret Hideaway offers an ideal 'stay and play' experience for couples seeking a cozy and unique holiday adventure.
Enjoy the best of the Smoky Mountains in this oversized one-bedroom cottage. Each room features large windows with views of the Appalachian Trail, and Wayah Bald, the highest peak, offers a perfect spot to watch the sunset. Listen to the sound of deer moving through the protected forest surrounding the cabin, the gentle rustling of wind through the tall trees from the porch swing, and the peaceful birds chirping throughout the hills. Open the windows to let the cool mountain air soothe your spirit and leave the master blinds open at night to wake to the soft morning glow and breathtaking views of the bluish mountain peaks. It's both relaxing and awe-inspiring.
Ready for some fun in the cabin? Perfectly suited for two, this hour-long escape room mystery allows you and your partner to work together to uncover Santa’s hidden secrets and share laughs. After solving the puzzles, you can enjoy a relaxed evening playing foosball or pool, or step outside to the swing, where you’ll have breathtaking views of the mountains to yourselves. This holiday experience is crafted to bring couples closer, making it a warm, magical escape about shared moments and Christmas cheer.
Cabin Features: Relax in this cozy retreat featuring a king bed overlooking the mountains through a three-panel glass door. The fully equipped kitchen is perfect for baking Christmas cookies or cooking meals—Peek at the mountains from the living area. Stay warm by the electric fireplace, sit back, and take in a Christmas movie from the recliner loveseats with massager/heater elements. Two large, Wi-Fi-enabled TVs are ready for your streaming services, a DVD player with movies for stay-in days, as well as games, puzzles, foosball, a pool table, and a video game center with all your favorite 80s and 90s arcade games. A custom rain shower, washer/dryer, and dishwasher round out the amenities.
Come experience the magic of Christmas in this charming Christmas cabin!

About the host
Hosted by Jeanette Dutton

We are a family that loves to travel! As you stay in our cabin in the mountains, know we are off somewhere on our own adventure! Perhaps our paths will cross one day, and we can sit, share a drink and tell travel stories. That would be fun. Until then, let the adventures begin...
Why they chose this property
One step onto this cabin's porch and you'll understand why we purchased it. It was the swing! Yes, the swing. We sat down and observed the most beautiful mountains on a sunny afternoon, heard the birds chirping and felt the soft breezes of the range. We were sold.
What makes this property unique
The view! Really, it's the view. We've taken this cabin to the studs, updating all the systems, walls and layout so almost every room in the house has 'the view'!
