Secluded Corner Unit with Wrap Around Decks for Stunning Views

Welcome to The Heron's Nest, where you’re close enough to all the amazing adventures, yet far enough away to feel like a true mountaintop retreat. Spend your days exploring the gorgeous Great Smoky Mountains region, then come back home to nestle into your cabin-like home away from home. Watch the sun set over the mountain range on the wrap-around deck. Get comfy in rustic leather chairs around the lodgestone fireplace. Marvel at the moon. Stargaze or just snooze - this is your mountain getaway.

GREAT ROOM
The vaulted-ceiling exposed-beam great room is the perfect place to cozy up on the sofa or in the rustic club chairs that flank the lodge-stone fireplace. Enjoy an evening watching movies on the 48" Roku TV, or enjoy a morning watching the sun rise from the wall of windows facing east. Have your nightly cocktail or morning coffee in the old hickory rockers on the wraparound deck.

KITCHEN & DINING
The open-concept kitchen & dining area connects to the great room so no one misses out on the views or the company. The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, microwave, dishwasher, Keurig coffee maker, electric tea kettle, toaster, dishware, flatware, cookware - everything you might need! Bar-height dining for four around the attached island. Dish soap, paper towels, and dishwasher pods are included.

BEDROOMS & BATHROOM
The Heron's Nest has sleeping for four - with a queen-sized memory-foam bed in the main bedroom, and a king-sized memory-foam bed in the loft. The main bedroom offers a guest closet and smart TV with Roku. It has adjacent access to the bathroom with a separate vanity area and bathtub/shower combo. Please note that the loft bedroom is accessible via a ladder-like staircase and has a low ceiling, approximately 5'10" at its peak.

ACCESSIBILITY
The Heron's Nest is located on the top floor of the building, accessible only by stairs. The buildings do not include elevators so you must be physically able to climb one flight of stairs to get to the condo. Parking is located in front of the building, with overflow parking available near the office. While 4-wheel drive is not necessary to access the condo, we recommend driving a vehicle that has front-wheel or all-wheel drive during times of inclement weather.

PET POLICY
No pets allowed per HOA policy.

DIRECTIONS
The resort sits atop scenic English Mountain outside of Sevierville. There are a couple options for reaching the top - the most scenic route is curvy with steep switchbacks; alternate routes take a few minutes more but are a little easier to travel.

Trip insurance is highly recommended, especially during the winter months when snow or ice at higher elevations could derail even the best-laid plans.
