Rustic Charm, 1 Bedroom, Sleeps 2, Pets Welcome, Hot Tub, Private, WiFi

Mountain cabins don’t get much more romantic than Rustic Charm. Perched among towering trees in Gatlinburg’s exclusive Cobbly Nob neighborhood, pet-friendly getaway for 2 is worthy of its name.

A bijou of a log cabin, Rustic Charm looks out over lush woodlands toward the Smoky Mountains. A wall of picture windows lets you marvel at the view even while you’re indoors—but you’ll want to head out to the deck every chance you get. You can sit on the deck’s cushioned seats and revel in the singing of wrens and warblers in the morning and the chirping of whip-poor-wills and crickets at night. Evenings are an especially romantic time to luxuriate in the deck’s hot tub: just you, your sweetheart, and the trove of stars twinkling above.

If the weather is a bit chilly or damp for soaking alfresco, you can laze among the steamy bubbles of the indoor jetted tub. It’s large enough to accommodate both of you. Relaxing among its massaging jets of water is a wonderful way to end a day of hiking, biking, or golfing—and an equally wonderful way to start a romantic evening.

A handsome roll-arm sofa anchors Rustic Charm’s sitting area. You’ll love nestling there with your special someone as you watch a movie on the flat-panel TV with cable and a DVD player. In winter the gas fireplace will bathe the wood-planked floors, walls, and beamed ceiling in an inviting golden glow.

The dining table seats 4, so you can invite friends over for drinks or a meal. It’s particularly well suited, however, for a candlelit dinner for 2. The kitchen is equipped with a full array of appliances, cookware, and tableware. Whether you’re preparing a multicourse feast or reheating leftovers from the previous night’s restaurant meal, you’ll find all the equipment you need.

Rustic Charm’s king-size 4-poster bed is so inviting and comfortable, you might find yourself lounging and lazing on it far longer than you meant to. And why not: You are on vacation, after all! Go ahead and sprawl out as you surf the web via the free WiFi, catch up on your reading… or catch up on your sleep.

Because Rustic Charm is within Cobbly Nob—itself set within a 1,000-acre resort—during the summer you’ll have free access to the neighborhood’s 3 pool areas. Each includes a changing area and a poolside patio where you can relax on chaises. The neighborhood also features lovely walking trails. And at the bottom of Cobbly Nob, less than a mile from the cabin, is the award-winning Bent Creek Golf Course, designed by Grand Slam champion Gary Player.

Nearly as close—less than 2 miles away—is Climb Works, where you can explore the mountains via zip line or mountain bike. Rustic Charm is also just a 15-minute drive to both the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, a wonderland of wildlife, wildflowers, and waterfalls, and the Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Community, an 8-mile trail of more than 120 galleries, shops, and studios offering everything from watercolors to woodcarvings. Just a bit farther is downtown Gatlinburg, home to Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies, the Guinness World Records Adventure, distilleries, thrill rides, and the tram that carries you over the town to Ober Gatlinburg Amusement Park and Ski Area.

There’s plenty to see and do when you stay at Rustic Charm. Then again, if you want to do little more than enjoy the company of your special someone while surrounded by nature’s grandeur, Rustic Charm is ideal for that too.
