The main level centers around an inviting open-concept great room with vaulted wood ceilings, plush seating, and a stone gas fireplace that creates a warm focal point for groups to gather after a day in the Smokies. This space flows seamlessly into the dining area and chef's kitchen, where stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, ample cabinetry, and a dedicated coffee bar with a countertop ice maker provide everything guests need for extended stays and home-cooked meals. A large dining table plus additional bar seating allows everyone to eat together, play games, or enjoy conversation in a single comfortable, social space. Also on the main level is a king primary suite designed for comfort and accessibility, offering a plush king bed, Smart TV, and a private ensuite bath with a spa-style shower featuring dual shower heads. This layout is ideal for guests who prefer minimal stairs, giving them easy access to the main living, kitchen, and dining areas while still maintaining privacy. The upper level features two additional king suites, each with its own full bath and electric fireplace, creating hotel-style retreats for couples or adult guests. These upper-level bedrooms are thoughtfully separated from the main living areas, providing quiet spaces to unwind while still keeping everyone under one roof. The lower level is the property's entertainment hub and a major driver of short-term rental demand. A spacious bunk room offers two bunk beds with queen beds on the bottom and twin beds on top, along with its own full bath with a tub/shower combination, making it an ideal zone for kids or teens. Just outside, a private theater room provides stadium-style seating, a large screen/Smart TV, and a theater popcorn machine, creating a true movie-night experience without leaving the cabin. This level also includes a dedicated game area with a pool table and a barrel-style arcade machine featuring dozens of classic games, giving guests of all ages on-site entertainment in any season. A futon in or near the theater provides additional sleeping capacity, allowing the home to comfortably accommodate approximately 12 guests. One of the most compelling features of this property is the private indoor heated pool, located on the lower level near the theater and game room so the entire floor feels like a resort wing. The pool is professionally maintained with service prior to each check-in, and the climate is managed for a comfortable swimming environment that can be enjoyed year-round, regardless of weather. This amenity photographs extremely well, sets the property apart from typical cabins, and is a key factor in attracting families and groups looking for a complete vacation experience in one place. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with multiple decks extending along the cabin to showcase the mountain setting and provide spaces to relax in the fresh air. Guests can enjoy mornings with coffee overlooking the trees and evenings soaking in the hot tub on the deck near the outdoor gas fireplace, creating a cozy ambiance in every season. A wood-burning firepit area (with guests supplying their own wood) offers another gathering spot for roasting marshmallows and sharing stories under the stars, rounding out the classic Smoky Mountain experience that keeps guests coming back year after year. *Check out the 3D tour and video!
