A Sweet Retreat | Smoky Mountain Holiday

Description

Welcome to A Sweet Retreat! And what a retreat it is indeed! Touching The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, our adorable 2 BD cabin (sleeps 6) is the ideal headquarters for your romantic get-a-way or family vacation. With spacious rooms, a hot tub, wood-burning fireplace, and national park views, you will never want to leave. The location is also ideal - just a short drive from all the action of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, but far enough away to feel the serenity of the Smokies!

Located just outside of town on the edge of Wears Valley, A Sweet Retreat is a short 10-15 minute drive to all the restaurants, entertainment and action of Pigeon Forge, but still far enough away to actually FEEL the comforting call of the mountains. And talk about mountains! The Great Smoky Mountains National Park lies literally in the back yard, jutting up majestically from the back porch (and private hot tub). And from the front porch, you can gaze through the trees and into Wears Valley in the distance.

Three C’s

We enjoyed our stay at Sweet Retreat. The property was clean, comfortable, and convenient. I especially liked that there was a bedroom and bathroom on the same floor as the kitchen and living room.
- Posted: 4/4/2025

The cabin is beautiful and definitely feels like a home away from home. The cabin is well equipped with every thing we needed and then some. Overall was a perfect stay for our weekend getaway!

What a sweet retreat!

The location was perfect: access to wonderful hiking trails in the Smoky Mountains, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge all within in 25 minutes. The hot tub was a wonderful way to soak sore muscles after climbing to the top of Le Conte! Make sure to try the fried pies!!
- Posted: 3/28/2025

Perfect place for accessing the park trails and getting a great night’s sleep. Quiet and private. Everything was in place and clean and worked. Easy check out without much work. Responsive within the hour on everything. Not far from grocery store. Indoor wood-burning fireplace was really nice, though local wood is a bit pricey! Plenty of wildlife. Would definitely stay again next time we’re there.

Charming cabin in the mountains

We really enjoyed our stay at this extremely clean and well stocked cabin. Enjoyed the hot tub and quiet surroundings. Very close to Smoky Mountain National Park.

BEARY SPECIAL

The cabin wasthe nicest one ive ever stayed at. All the nessesities, beyond clean. Clise to town and shops. Loved it. BUT... THE VERY FIRST NIGHT ME AND MY FRIEND WAS GOUNG TO ENJOY OUR HOT TUB. AND WE LOIK UP AND A BIG BLACK BEAR IS STANDING ON THE STEPS OF THE HOT TUB . Terrified we tried scaring him / her away. He proceeded to go over the little fence ( still close enough to touch him ) we made a run for it and got inside. Needless to say we never got to use the hot tub. Even with how grand the place was i would never go back there. Thise pirches with the hot tub needs a protective barrier. I cant imagine what would hapoen if u grilled out and tried to have a meal outside. That was the scardest ive ever been

Clean, great location, and cozy

I had great communication with manager from check-in to checkout. It's outside the busy areas but have some good country restaurants and general stores close by. The cabin sits in the middle of six other cabins. It's quiet and cozy when inside. I did not use the hottub but it's covered and well lite. It's clean and well kept.i would stay here again in the near future.

Chessy

We had a great stay here! The cabin was so nice and decorated for Christmas! If you want to be away from the crowds and traffic then this is a great area! Wears Valley is a quaint little town in itself to shop and explore.

Beautiful cabin

Beautiful cabin and all the ammenitys you could want also beautiful views.Location is far enough out for seclusion but only minutes from Pigeon Forge or Townsend.

Smoky vaca

Very good. Internet was horrible, but other than that, loved the place. Bears were nearly on the porch Sunday morning!
- Posted: 11/17/2024

Cozy retreat

We loved our stay and it was a perfect location for what we wanted to see & do in the area. Saw a bear 2x by the house. So fun. Arrive before dark your first time going in. Easier to find.

Smoky Mountain Retreat

Lovely log home backing onto the National park. We loved the location. The house was beautiful & had almost everything we needed. The hot tub was especially nice after a day of hiking. My only recommendation would be that if you want a fire, pick up wood, kindling & paper in town. We didn’t realize that would not be provided for at least the first night, and it was too late to find it. Coming from Alberta, we stay in the Rocky Mountains quite a bit & have always had wood provided. Other than that, I would highly recommend it.

Short business trip

Two of us stayed for a short business trip (4 days) and this house was situated almost equally between pigeon forge and gatlinburg yet away from the bustle and in the foothills. House was clean and cute and provided all the starter items we needed. Any issues/communications we had were addressed immediately. Would stay again!

Poggers cabin

The property and location was excellent. Definitely bring a vehicle that can handle a very steep hill though!

Absolutely Beautiful

A Sweet Sweet Retreat

Beautifully decorated. Great location. Hot tub was clean & relaxing. Excellent communication.
- Posted: 10/15/2024

Overall experience

The property and location were great. The towns and roads in the area were at best 2 stars! Because of some sort of car rally or show the area and roads were overrun with poor man’s Grand Prix cars and drivers. A temporary issue but enough that we are not likely to return.
- Posted: 10/9/2024

Safe and Amazing

I was on my way to NC for a week away stay in the mountains, but the hurricane came as I was on the way. It was a scramble to find something safe and peaceful while on the road on such short notice. This place was my saving grace. I was all but ready to leave to go home after being in a hotel a couple days, but I decided to look one more time, and this cabin was IT! The hosts were so kind and accommodating. Beat came by literally every morning. It wasn’t over crowded, and it was in just the right location to be away from it all but close enough if you needed to grab anything. It was exactly what I needed. I highly recommend this place and hope to go back again!

very nice place and quiet. very narrow steep road to get to it but you do get used to it. would stay again.

September getaway

Clean, comfortable and quiet. We were very happy with the location away from the busyness of Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge, but still close to the national park. It was a quick drive into Wears Valley where we found some great restaurants.

Great stay

Nice property with the basic needs, bears were seen almost daily while we were there.

A sweet retreat for the family indeed!

This lodge is perfect for a family or friends retreat, or even a honeymoon for couples. Each morning you will wake up to a chorus of birds tweeting in the woods. Opening the curtains, rays of sunshine paint everything in the wood in lively, splendid colors. Open your door and sit by the front porch with a cup of joe, you will have the chance to observe some black bears wondering around. We are honored to have bears visiting each morning and evening. Don’t worry, there are a few other houses around and you are not on their diet. The house is located right by the national park and close to several trials of different levels of difficulty. The house is meticulously decorated to provide the vibe of “living in the woods.” Pack your favorite foods for the duration of the stay and enjoy!

Perfect cabin for 2 couples!

Wonderful place! Each couple had their own bathroom off the bedroom. Kitchen was well equipped The beds slept well. We were there to see fireflies in Elkmont, and this location was only 15 minutes from there. Best surprise was mother bear and 2 cubs in back porch one morning. Would definitely go back.
- Posted: 6/13/2024

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Pam! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found the cabin well-equipped and comfortable. How exciting to see a mother bear and her cubs on the back porch! I'm glad the location worked perfectly for your firefly viewing in Elkmont. I can't wait to welcome you back!

Three night retreat.

My sister and I stayed here for three nights, at the end of our vacation, just to relax. It was perfect to just enjoy the mountains from both porches and the hot tub. We had a bear sighting which thrilled is. The cabin is beautiful and very clean.

I'm so happy you and your sister had a relaxing stay, Becky! It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the mountains, the porches, and the hot tub. How exciting to have a bear sighting too! Looking forward to hosting you again!

Smoky Mountain Holiday staff

Peaceful way to enjoy the Smokies

The cabin is in a quiet neighborhood on a cul de sac at the top of a fairly steep road. It is a good escape from the excitement of Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, but still fairly convenient (~25 min) to get into town and very close to one of the park entrance's. The cabin was clean and nicely equipped and the property manager was communicative and friendly.
- Posted: 5/5/2024

Thank you for your feedback, Shelie! I'm glad you enjoyed the peaceful location and found the cabin clean and well-equipped. It's great to hear you found it convenient to get into town and appreciated the communication. Hope to host you again soon!

Perfect for Us

We are a small group of middle-aged college friends meeting up for a weekend of catching up with each other. This place was perfect for us. It was cozy and clean and had everything we needed. Justin was super easy to get ahold of and very welcoming. We decided that if we meet up in TN again next year we'd be glad to stay here again.
