CLEAN Private Cabin With Incredible Rear Deck And Lake Privileges

We were Blessed to come across this property a few years back and it became our sanctuary. We found such peace and splice here that it was like being on vacation all the time. When life took its changes and we had to leave the mountain for the flat land, we thought the best thing to do would be to share this absolutely serene place with others looking for an escape. The remarks coming in from those who have stayed proves that we made the right decision in sharing our peaceful place. We hope you will be as blessed here as we have been and leave here feeling fully refreshed and ready to get back to life as usual.

The Mountain Escape is clean, quiet and peaceful and located just off the scenic Foothills Parkway. Convenient to Maryville, (Airport and Maryville College), Knoxville, Cades Cove and Great Smoky Mountains National Park plus attractions of Pigeon Forge, Sevierville (Dollywood) and Gatlinburg not forgetting The Dragon and Chilhowee Lake. 15-20 minute drive to stores and eateries. Non commercialized area (be prepared on gas and food before tackling the mountain. No deliveries here. Come prepared, especially before winter weather.)
Comfortable sofa and overstuffed recliners in living room but there are bean bag chairs in the second bedroom if you want to snuggle in front of wood stove and watch the fire.
The INTERNET access can be sketchy. Normally internet works ok but streaming is a real struggle. What we have is the ONLY service we can currently get, it’s part of mountain life! We keep DVD’s here for children and more mature audiences so you don’t have to tolerate streaming issues. And there are plenty of books and games but once you arrive, weather permitting, you will want to spend your time outside!
A comfortable front deck and a HUGE rear deck nestles you into the tree tops where you can sit and relax and watch the wildlife. There is a gas fireplace for cooler evenings and a water fountain for the warmer months adding a running water sound sure to relax. It overlooks a small private pond and a larger pond which you have access to and it is walking distance!
Remember, you are leaving the city behind. You can expect winding mountain roads but well worth the drive! High winds can cause power outages bringing down trees. Outages make for family bonding time! Roads, internet issues, cell reception issues and power outages come with escaping the hussle and bustle of town. No commercialization, no gas, no food delivery and maybe not getting out for a day or two in winter. But again, it’s all SO WORTH IT! Just be prepared. We will be glad to answer any questions.

Holiday Hills Lake is walking distance and has a nice gazebo for chilling out. Just a mile away is Lake In The Sky to which you will have privileges. Great for swimming, floating, Kayaking or just relaxing and watching Eagles (if you are lucky you might see one swoop down to catch a fresh fish dinner!). Fishing is good. There are two poles at the cabin and 5 beach towels for lake use. NO FISHING LICENSE required! This is a private community lake for members and you may use it as our guest. You will be provided a temporary lake access card good for your stay. NO GAS POWERED motors ensuring you clean, pure mountain water!
There is also a basketball court at the lake. It is just a great place to hang out.
Please be courteous to observe and follow all community rules including Lake posted rules. (See photos, lake rules sign will be found there.)
