If you're coming to rest and relax, you'll have everything you need right around the corner, so grab some groceries (or have them delivered), get cozy and relax. Wifi is included, so for those traveling for work, there is a dedicated workspace in two rooms for you to enjoy. This spacious guest home is in Franklin Ridge, just a mile from Interstate 40 and a few miles away from scenic Douglas Lake. Glenmore Mansion and Harrisburg Covered Bridge are local landmarks. Golf enthusiasts will enjoy both Dandridge Golf & Country Club and Patriot Hills Golf Club. Lions Park, Smoky Mountain Deer Farm and Exotic Petting Zoo are also worth visiting. There’s room for the entire family, so if you’re looking for a place with convenient and easy access from Interstate 40, this Dandridge retreat is perfect for you! There is ample parking, a spacious living room and dining area and a fully stocked kitchen. During the warmer months, you can enjoy pontoon and other watercraft rentals and spend your days on the lake having fun on the water or fishing in a quiet cove on Douglas Lake just a 5-minute drive away or Cherokee Lake about 15 minutes away. Bring your boat – there’s plenty of parking available.

During the winter months, there are countless attractions just a few miles away in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Nature photography enthusiasts… reach out to us for some incredible places to grab some unforgettable photos.

Things to note: This home is a split-level entry home, and is not accessible to those who cannot navigate a flight of stairs. Small children must be carefully watched if they are unable to navigate stairs safely. We are happy to provide a baby gate and other child safety devices if you request them when you book with us. The lower level of the home is not accessible to guests, but is vacant, so you have the entire upstairs level to enjoy during your stay.

The 2 bathrooms come equipped with a hair dryer and bathtub, shampoo, conditioner and body soap. Your stay here will be excellent, offering comfort and convenience. Check-in using the key pad (code provided on the day of check-in.) Feel free to reach out to us during your stay - we're happy to suggest local spots to check out or provide assistance if there's anything you need to make your stay more enjoyable. We have named this "The Selah Retreat," simply because life is too short not to stop and rest, and what better place to do so than the beautiful Smoky Mountains?

House was perfect. This is a great location to stay when visiting East TN. It puts you in close proximity to Gatlinburg and the Smokies but also Knoxville. In our case it was perfect for our stay to attend a wedding at Colley Hill Farm, just 9 minutes away.

Host was very kind and had great communication. The home, although older, was clean and comfortable and worked great for my family. Location worked fantastic for us as it was out of the hustle and bustle but could easily get to locations we desired. Overall a very nice experience.

Marcie is an amazing host. Communication was awsome from prebooking to close out. The house is exactly as posted, Very roomy, clean and comfy. We had two full size trucks with 21' bass boats and an addional truck, all fit in the driveway. We had no issues with the 110 v plug outside, it was hooked to two battery chargers and did great. Kitchen is well stock with all needed utensils, pots and pans. Location makes it very easy to get to either Lake. A very nice snack package was waiting for us on the table as well. Check out was also very easy.

Everything was just perfect. Our host couldn't have been more accommodating. The Carson-Newman University touches were so special to us. The gift basket was absolutely amazing. We loved the selections of coffee K-Cups. I can't rave enough about our host & the house. Would definitely book here again!!

The quiet you didn’t know you needed

Our family stayed here for a few nights around July 4th and to say it was quiet even on a holiday was an under statement we didn’t hear any of the neighbors once. Beds were comfy, kitchen was well stocked. Has everything you need to cook and entertain. The microwave is a tad bit greedy and doesn’t like to share (you have to rent to find out what I mean) overall wonderful experience and would definitely book again!!

Marcie is a wonderful and gracious host! She went out of her way to ensure our work crew had everything they needed, including an appliance that was not usually kept at the property. She spent extra time working with VRBO to correct my check out date I had entered incorrectly, so I wouldn’t have to repay a cleaning and damage fee. She was extremely kind, attentive, responsive and pleasant to work with.

Thank you, Kathleen! It was such a pleasure having your crew stay! Cleanest and most considerate group of workers ever... would gladly host anyone from your company anytime you have workers in the area!

I'm not sure what the issue was that caused this guest to leave an 8/10 with zero communication, but we would love to know how we could have made your stay better. This was booked by a company, but the woman who booked it never set foot on the property and the gentlemen who stayed never mentioned any issues, so this is a disappointing review with no explanation. I'm sorry we didn't meet your expectations.
