You deserve a luxury vacation in the mountains. This is the perfect site for family reunions or large groups of friends to gather! Enjoy nature and all it has to offer deep in the Appalachian Mountains and the Cherokee National Forest in Monroe County Tennessee, 22 miles east of Vonore & Tellico Plains near the vast Citico Wilderness Area.
The Cottage at Hemlock Grove, located only 50 minutes from I-75 or the Knoxville Airport, tucks you away in extreme privacy and luxury in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. Located in a private hollow on 300 acres you can immerse your senses in all that Nature has to offer. Spend days exploring streams, old growth forests, an old mountaineer homestead, and expansive, unspoiled views after hiking to a private mountain top ridge. This is a true Tennessee mountain experience without roughing it!
For its remoteness, this upscale cottage is surprisingly close to many attractions. Bring your jet-skis or boat and enjoy Tellico and Chilhowee Lakes. Boat ramps are just a few miles away. Abundant trout run in gorgeous, rushing, Citico Creek just minutes away. The Citico forest service road runs along the creek for twenty magnificent miles through the Cherokee National Forest to the breathtaking Cherohala Skyway (Hwy 165) and Indian Boundary Lake.
Thirteen trails, within the National Forest, totaling 57.4 miles provide access to much of Citico Creek Wilderness. For a fun day trip, Dollywood and the other attractions of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg are less than two scenic hours away (76 miles). Scenic drive enthusiasts will love the proximity to the "tail of the dragon" or Highway 129 to Deal's Gap.

Absolutly wonderful! Hemlock Grove was more than anything we could have anticipated. Our three children were in heaven. Pristine accomodations consistant with incredible vistas. We left with great memories of the beauty of nature and the serenity of Hemlock Grove. Thank you so much for being who you are and for sharing Hemlock Grove with us. Todd Jakelis

We were needing a real getaway where we could enjoy the accommodations of home while being deep in the woods. A wood burning stove, good hiking, activities for the kids and and not being bothered by cell phones were requirements. We found all that and more at the Cottage at Hemlock Grove and we plan to return, next time with more family and friends as the cabin and bunkhouse can comfortably fit a surprising number of people. We had 10 people, ages 4 - 61, and never felt crowded. The house and kitchen are well stocked which is good in case you forgot to bring something from home. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the water pressure (for showers) was excellent. The front and back porches and the hot tub are very nice places to relax, as is the living room by the wood burning stove. Plenty of square footage to keep a large group comfortable but not so big that it doesn't feel cozy. Hiking was really fun as there are many miles of trails and old logging roads that apparently never leave the 300-acre property so you can be somewhat confident that you won't get lost as long as you follow the provided trail maps and have some sense about you. :) Hemlock Grove was a gem and we plan to return!

We had a large group with everyone from 4 years old to 74 years old and we all had a great time. The kids loved playing in the yard and exploring in the woods. The house had everything we needed. The kitchen was very well equipped. The beds were very comfortable. The entire house was very clean and odor free. We all felt very at home and welcome in the cottage. The entire experience was A+. We would absolutely stay again. Antoinette

We arrived at our destination. A lovely white farmhouse sitting in a grove of hemlock and magnolia trees. Rockers on the porch called to us to sit a spell and rest and dream. Early in the day we sat on the back deck in our nightwear and drank our morning coffee from lovely unchipped mugs while listening to the birds. That was the only sound. It was great! The house was full equipped and spotless. As for the trails, they were a dream. We found the old log house and barn and took endless pictures while imagining the people who had built the structures, their hardships and achievements. You see, I am a genealogist and much of my research is bound up in those mountains. We saw deer, and prints on one trail of bobcat and not one bit of litter. Our picnic by the trout pond was so peaceful and the trout showed their approval by performing a water ballet. A ground covering tucked away beneath the trees was something we had never seen before. Rocking on the front porch was a wonderful way to rest up after our hike. The old wild azalea with it's gnarled limbs drew our attention but the vast magnolias and hemlocks yielded up pure peace. At night we crawled between our soft cotton sheets (at least 800 count) and slept and dreamed of never having to leave this marvelous place. I have recommended Hemlock House to several friends but almost want to keep it a deep dark secret just for me.

This was one of the best weekends EVER! The Hemlock House was clean, well-appointed and comfortably beautiful. Loved the jacuzzi, the deck, the setting and the gracious hosts. I plan to return for another stay. Highly recommended!

So much to say about the peace of the house in the hemlocks! Two comments: 1. From the hammock on a morning in April, the sun smiled, birds sang, the creek gurgled, forsythia bloomed, a rooster crowed, and I was quietly happy, waiting for friends to arrive for a birthday party weekend. 2. From the hot-tub out back, beneath the stars, late one night, laughing with friends in the beautiful night air, I realized that nothing could be sweeter. My visit to the Tennessee Mountains and this well-equipped home was quite possibly the most relaxed I have felt in a long, long time.

Our writing group, the StoryLoft Writers, rented this property for a retreat. The kitchen was well-stocked, the bedrooms and living spaces comfortable and the deck provided a wonderful space for an outdoor meal. We had plenty of togetherness, but also ample space to split up and get to the task of writing. The two best things about this particular cottage were: (1) the extreme graciousness and attention to detail provided by the hosts and (2) the remote location with its wonderful quietness. I think it would also make a great place to have a family or friendly gathering or even a work retreat. There is a big yard for children or grownups to play and hiking trails. The surrounding scenery is gorgeous and the distance to the lake completely manageable. I would highly recommend The Cottage at Hemlock Grove.

This was our second visit to The Cottage in Hemlock Grove. It is beautiful, clean, and very accomodating for our vacation with another family. The Bunkhouse is also wonderful. The owner has recently added a bathroom and a kitchen area. The children really loved it. The mountains are gorgeous. We enjoyed hiking, playing pool, relaxing in the hot tub, and spending time together as a family. The owner was attentive and concerned with our comfort. We hope to return for a 3rd time next year. We would definitely recommend this place!

My family and I had a wonderful vacation at the Hemlock Grove house. Everything about the week was perfect. The weather cooperated and we had beautiful cool mornings to sit on the deck and drink coffee and clear nights to sit around the fire pit and enjoy the evening. My sons and I rode our motorcycles and had a great time riding all the great roads in the area. The Dragon is less than an hour away and the Cherahala skyway is even closer. However, the local roads are just as much fun to ride, plenty of turns and twists and lots and lots of gorgeous scenery. The lakes and the streams in the area are spectacular. We also had a great time hiking the trails around the house, playing pool and relaxing on the deck and front porch. There were eight in our party and the house had plenty of room for us all and with 3 bathrooms, I never heard anyone complain. The bedrooms were very warm and comfortable and the family room and living room afforded plenty of space for everyone to “have their own space” if they so chose. We had a wonderful time at Hemlock house and look forward to returning in the future.
