Welcome to The Whimsical Wand, a cozy creekside retreat where every room is filled with enchanting details. Designed for fans of magic and wonder, this home offers a one-of-a-kind stay that blends comfort with a fully immersive themed experience. Relax by the water, unwind in whimsical spaces, and make memories you’ll treasure forever. The home is a cozy creekside getaway that is less than ten minutes from town. However, when you arrive at the Whimsical Wand home, the stresses of life fade and ultimate relaxation sets in. Each room has a specifically tailored theme with amazing attention to detail to keep you immersed in the experience. A very large fenced-in and private back yard has a cozy fire pit with comfy adirondack chairs to relax in while the kids play in the 100 feet of private access creek. The dining hall takes your breath away with the enchanted ceiling, floating candles, and gorgeous chandelier. Have a meal with your friends and family and then select a board game to play together and let the laughs and competition begin. Sit back and put your feet up in the leather recliner or couch and binge watch your favorite movie series while the natural wood fire place keeps you warm in the beautiful sunroom. The kitchen includes a full size oven, full size refrigerator, microwave, pots and pans and everything you would need to cook a 5 course Michelin star meal. Coffee and tea station is stocked and ready. The coffee pot is a Ninja 12-cup brewer and non-stained filters and locally roasted Vienna coffee is included. A French press is also included. An electric tea kettle is included. The master bedroom has a super comfy queen bed, a 37in smart TV, and a dedicated desk work station. The second bedroom has a queen with twin-xl bunk bed. This means that the twin is the same length as the queen to accommodate an adult comfortably in needed. The bathroom is updated with modern touches and a walk in shower. High speed fiber internet

About the host
Hosted by Chesney Redmond
My wife and I are both from the East Tennessee area and we love it here. We enjoy traveling and staying in unique places instead of boring hotels. This is why we love hosting unique places and bringing an experience to your vacation that a hotel cannot provide.
Why they chose this property
The Whimsical Wand is in a perfect location. Just off of the main 321 highway that leads you to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The home is just 8 minutes from Townsend which is the quiet and laid back town on the Smokies and only 15 minutes from the airport. This is a quiet place and a great escape from the busy world.
What makes this property unique
The Harry Potter theme is by far the most unique feature of this great home. Each room has a theme that aligns with the famous book series and the minor details is where it really shines. The home is creek front and this is really cool for the kids and adults!
