When you stay at Gnome Sweet Gnome, you will have a front row seat to a gorgeous mountain view from your own balcony. You will also have the feeling of being secluded from Pigeon Forge while in reality, you’re only 6 minutes away from The Parkway.
Surrounded by The Great Smoky Mountains, there are breathtaking views everywhere you look from our property – even the ability to see all the way to the mountains of North Carolina from the bench swing at The Overlook, located across from your cabin. This 2 story, 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom cabin has a bedroom downstairs with a queen size bed. Upstairs is a bedroom with a queen size bed. It sleeps up to 4 guests so come either by yourselves, with a small family or another couple.
Gnome Sweet Gnome has a back porch where you can relax in the morning with your coffee while soaking in the gorgeous view and at night, be mesmerized by the gorgeous sunset over the mountains while enjoying a glass of wine on your porch or over by the gazebo. The cabin is located on our property called The Mustard Seed Venue and has multiple amenities to help you relax during your stay such as firepits, bench swings and more. If you have other family and friends who want to join you, this is the perfect location since The Mustard Seed (TMS) consists of 8 cabins that are all in walking distance of each other, but not on top of each other, 12 acres that you can walk around, a Pickleball Court (bring your racquets and balls), oversized Chess & Checkers and more to keep you busy while bonding with family and friends. Perfect for a Family Reunion or Destination Wedding (contact Kathryn for Wedding packages and information and for Christian, Special Needs or other Retreat information). We can sleep up to 66 guests overall on the property and look forward to hosting you.

Location/Roads/Parking:
This cabin is easily accessible by motorcycle or vehicle – motorcycles can park at Tanner Manor Lodge if needed (4-5 minute walk away), but many people have driven them up to the cabin. You will find Kroger and Publix at the bottom of the mountain, Food City and Dollar General are close by and Walmart is about 15 minutes away. Just 6 minutes down the mountain is The Parkway in Pigeon Forge, 10 minutes to Downtown Pigeon Forge/The Old Mill, 15-20 minutes to Gatlinburg, 15 minutes to Dollywood, 40 minutes to Cades Cove, 20ish minutes to the Smoky Mountain (depending on which part you are going to), and 10 minutes to The Island and Wears Valley. With such a great location, you're just a short drive from everything the Great Smoky Mountains has to offer. The road up to The Mustard Seed is paved, once you drive past Tanner Manor Lodge (on our property), it becomes a graded, gravel road that is easy to navigate. You will have space to park as many cars as necessary in front of the cabin.
