The house was really nice and welcoming and the outside had a nice view of a little creek and a swing which is nice for the kids to enjoy. Would definitely book here again!
Great place for the price. Fun if you love or are interested in Harry Potter. You can watch the movies for free on their HBOMax subscription. Hot tub is best for 2 but 3 would be a squeeze. Beds are comfortable. Nice fireplace and fun swings over the creek and in the yard. The best is that is it perfectly set with a nice easy drive to Maryville, Knoxville, Pigeon Forge, Townsend and Gatlinburg.
It was a lovely home. We were all adults and chose the home for the location. However, I sent a lot of photos and all my Harry Potter friends are jealous and asking for the details. I would recommend to anyone.
This was a perfect vacation spot for our family. The host was communicative ahead of our stay, and responded to all questions expediently. The home was clean, charming, comfortable and everything was as listed. Thanks for a wonderful trip- we can't wait to return.

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!
