When you stay at The Rustic Charm, you will experience the feeling of being secluded from Pigeon Forge while, in reality, you’re only 6 minutes away.
Surrounded by The Smoky Mountains, there are breathtaking views everywhere you look – even from your kitchen window. This 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom unit (plus game room and a Bridal Suite room) sleeps up to 12 guests with a hide a bed in the living room and 2 beds in one of the bedrooms (you are free to move the boxsprings and mattress of one bed into an empty space – this will make perfect sense when you are there). The Rustic Charm is perfect for your next trip to the Smokies. Relax on the front porch in the morning with your coffee while listening to the birds and enjoying the serenity of the mountain view before you. At night, be mesmerized by the gorgeous sunset over the mountains in front of you while enjoying a glass of wine.
The Rustic Charm is located in Tanner Manor Lodge (TML). There are 3 units in TML. The Rustic Charm is the entire downstairs unit and you have your own entrances and do not share anything except for what is outside. Also, you have your own front porch that is not for use by the other 2 units, unless they are in your group. Upstairs are 2 units called The Burrows and The Nuthouse. They have their own entrances as well and do not go through any of your unit to get to theirs. On the back porch is an oversized chess and checkers set, there’s a Firepit called The Ashes up a small trail and a Pickleball Court (bring your own paddles and balls) across from the back parking lot. Tetherball is located there too and on the other side of the Well House is a box of outside games (return when finished).
Make your coffee in The Coffee Barn complete with Keurig, coffee pot and everything you need for the perfect cup of coffee. The Rustic Charm is located on our property called The Mustard Seed Venue and has many amenities to keep you busy during your stay. 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 and multiple amenities to help provide you with a wonderful, relaxing stay. Perfect for a Family Reunion or Destination Wedding (contact Kathryn for Wedding packages and information). We can sleep up to 66 guests overall on the property. We look forward to hosting you. Tanner Manor Lodge can sleep up to 20 guests in the 3 units and is our 2nd Wedding Venue Reception area where you can have weddings for 40 guests comfortably and 50 if you are a bit creative.
