We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. The location was great, close to Pigeon Forge and Townsend, but not too close. The cabin was very clean and comfortable, peaceful, quiet and cozy. We slept great. Loved the layout and the decor. We were very grateful for the party lights that lit up the road to the cabin. Made lots of good memories . We would gladly stay here again.

Wonderful cabin, probably our favorite we have stayed in all over the area. Extremely Clean and well taken care of. Great open layout that was perfect for us and our toddler, it let him stretch his legs after being on long car rides. 3 bedrooms was perfect for the whole family. 30 min to Cades Cove gate, 10-15 min to North or South side of PF strip. Felt very private with only the two cabins back off the road. The driveway was neat lit up at night with string lights. Hot tub was very clean and wonderful to soak in after a long day. Amenities were exactly as described, and all that we needed. Will absolutely be booking this host and cabin again. As we really liked the central location to everything we like to do.

About the host

Hosted by Guy and Tonia Melton

Host profile image

Married 50 years and came to Gatlinburg on our Honeymoon. We have visited most every year since. We love the area and 20 years ago bought our first small cabin on Ski Mountain. During the wild fires of 2016 it burned along with 2000 other cabins and buildings in Gatlinburg. In 2017 we rebuilt a beautiful cabin that the new one you now see is an exact replica but 20-25% larger with some great additions. After trying to get our neighbors to sell one of their properties to no avail so we could build another one on Ski Mtn for more family to visit during the same time we decided to sell and buy in Wears Valley which we think is the most beautiful area of the entire Smokies. After trees continuing to fall on ski mtn from the fires of 2016, power lines, steep drives we wanted a safer , less crowded and better views of the mountains. Wears Valley gave us that opportunity and instead of two half acre lots we got 5 lots totaling 15 acres with a stream running through them and beautiful mountain views. But this time with a flat drive way and roads getting there. We fell in love with Wears Valley a beautiful and still unspoiled part of the Smokies and Gatlinburg area.
The bonus was we bought from the original family that settled Wears Valley the Crowson family which the valley was named after until about 100 years ago when it was named after a confederate war officer. The Crowson family has owned this land since 1802 and been living here since 1795 when the original family member aaron came to settle and make a home for his young family. The US Govt gave him the first land grant in the valley which was 2000 acres. The family has lived here since then and we bought from the 7th generation Crowson last year. The history is rich here. We now own the largest original piece bought directly from the first family. Their family cemetary is about 1/4 mile away with every generation Crowson buried there beginning with AARON. You can find it by googling it. You are allowed to visit.

Why they chose this property

The Why goes on and on. We have already given a big piece of it. History of over 200 years from the original family. Views of the mountains. The beauty of the Valley is breathe taking in every season . Peaceful and much less crowded than the touristy spots yet just minutes out of Pigeon Forge and the many famous attractions and about 12 miles from Gatlinburg.

What makes this property unique

Less crowded.
Unspoiled.
Peaceful.
15 acres of beautiful land with woods, creek, open spaces and beautiful views of the Smokey Mountains.
Owners Apt attached to cabin with separate entrance . Apt rarely used but available when needed for maintenance or emergencies. This is not accessible to the cabin or cabin to apt. This small apt is not available for rental but is a great asset to having this 15 acre, 3 cabin property.
The Cabins are :
Only 2.5 miles from the best kept entrance of the National Park here in Wears Valley.
Close to Cades Cove, townsend and tubing and just minutes into Pigeon Forge.
Stay on the original settlers land that was in the same family for over 7 generations and now we have the honor of being part of that history.
