About this property

Secluded Mountain Retreat on 200+ Acres: Private Hiking Trails & Pure Nature

You deserve a secluded restful vacation in the Smoky Mountains. This is the perfect site for family reunions or groups of friends to gather! Enjoy nature and all it has to offer deep in the Appalachian Mountains and the Cherokee National Forest in Tennessee, 22 miles east of Vonore & Tellico Plains in the vast Citico Wilderness Area. Note: Parties over 12 MUST add-on the additional Bunkhouse. (see Amenities)

Now with StarLink WiFi!! The Cottage at Hemlock Grove, located only 50 minutes from I-75 or the Knoxville Airport, tucks you away in extreme privacy in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. Located in a private hollow on 200+ 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! Unless you are very very skilled, this property is not suitable for bikers due to the road grades in and out, gravel road and driveway.
For its remoteness, this vacation cottage is surprisingly close to many attractions. Bring your kayaks or boat and enjoy Citico Creek and 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, NC.

The Cottage & Bunkhouse are not generally available January-March due to water pipe freeze potential and wet conditions.
