About this property

The Lodge at Hawthorn Haven

Located at Hawthorn Haven, The Lodge is a comfortable ranch style home nestled in the woods in the beautiful Smoky Mountains. While out hiking through the woods, stop at the nearby barn and visit the chickens and donkey. If nuptials are in your future you might consider the small country chapel hidden in the nearby woods.
The space
With three floors of living space, The Lodge comfortably accommodates up to 16 guests / large groups without losing its cozy charm. The master bedroom with the king bed and adjoining bathroom are on the main floor along with the roomy kitchen, dining room, and living room. The kitchen is well stocked with enough plates and utensils for large families and gatherings. We are recently just added a Keurig Duo with a drip coffee pot. With this we provide you with a complimentary drip coffee starter pack. The newly converted garage has been turned into a game room, which includes a TV with a DVD player that can connect to Netflix through WIFI, a full size pool table, foose ball table, chalk board wall, giant connect four, checkers lots of board games and much more!
The top floor offers serene views from both of the two bedrooms each with a Queen bed and a shared bathroom. The lower basement level includes two bedrooms, and a full bathroom- first bedroom has one queen bed, and the other room has 3 bunk beds (4 twins and 2 doubles), there is also a large living room with Cable TV to enjoy the big game.
This is your opportunity to get in touch with mother-nature and disconnect from the world. For those of you that have to be electronically entertained The Lodge has WIFI and cable TV on two televisions. Turn off the AC and open all of the doors and windows and enjoy the fresh mountain breeze. All new bedding has been instated.
Guest access
The Lodge is walking distance from The Bethel House, The Chapel and The Bird House making this the perfect place for extra-large groups, weddings, and retreats.

We had a great stay! The Lodge is very well equipped with everything you need. There is plenty of space to spread out. There is a downstairs living room, an upstairs living room, and a play room. Everything was very clean. The only con was the water pressure is not very good, but there is nothing else to complain about. We will be back!

The Lodge

The house was perfect for our group. We had ages 8-88. The kids loved the game room and the elders so loved watching them. We bought apples and carrots so we could feed the animals everyday. The kids named them all and were so sad to leave them. We enjoyed our time at the Lodge. You will too

Stayed at this cabin for a group motorcycle trip. The house is beautiful and clean, with plenty of beds/bedrooms for multiple to stay and sleep. The property is scenic, and accessed by a gravel road. The hill leading up to the access road is quite steep with speed humps so bikers beware. The host was very responsive and provided turn by turn directions as GPS does not lead you to the house. She also provided a list of grocery stores in the area, which was helpful. I would definitely stay here again

Mountain Family Retreat

Hawthorn Haven was a great place to stay with family! We came here for a wedding and spent a week. There was plenty of space for 4 families to spread out and have their own space. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. The gameroom was a big hit. Drawbacks…the foosball table just needs replaced. And a broom for cleaning up our messes would be great. There may have been one here, but we couldn’t find it. It was a wonderful place! We would highly recommend!
