Welcome to Smokey’s Den by Avantstay!
Set high above Sevierville with golden mountain views stretching across the horizon, Smokey’s Den is a modern Smoky Mountain escape built for slow mornings, spirited evenings, and unforgettable moments together. Located just minutes from Soaky Mountain Waterpark, it offers easy access to one of Sevierville’s top attractions—perfect for families and groups looking to balance adventure-filled days with cozy mountain evenings. A short drive from Dollywood, The Island, Pigeon Forge attractions, and scenic national park trailheads, this retreat puts you close to the heart of the Smokies while still enjoying a peaceful perch above it all.
A Big Orange Welcome! From the moment you step inside, the vibrant spirit of the Tennessee Vols surrounds you. Decorated with carefully selected accents in the iconic orange and white, this cabin is a haven for fans who want to immerse themselves in the Volunteer Spirit. Whether you're a die-hard fan or new to the Big Orange family, you'll feel right at home.
Inside, sunlight pours through soaring windows, warming an open-concept living room designed for connection. Sink into plush seating by the large smart TV, where you can catch live streamed Tennessee sports, replays of your favorite games or enjoy fireside conversations. Step out onto the upper deck where crisp mountain air pairs perfectly with dinner at the outdoor table. The chef's kitchen—featuring clean wood accents and contemporary elements inspired by the university’s mascot, Smokey, makes cooking a delightful experience, complete with a spacious island, four barstools, and all essentials for group meals. Imagine whipping up game day snacks while discussing the latest Vols victories (and losses). Downstairs, your private indoor pool becomes the center of memory-making.
Whether it's cannonballs, morning laps, or late-night swims, the glowing pool room brings resort vibes to your own mountain hideaway. Just steps outside, the lower deck's hot tub offers a front-row seat to colorful sunsets and the peaceful hush of the hills, perfect for reflecting on a big win.
Four inviting bedrooms give every guest a comfortable place to unwind. Two serene en-suite bedrooms offer king and queen comforts, while a third queen room is perfect for couples or friends. The bunk room---featuring two twin-over-queen bunks---creates a playful haven for kids and teens, complete with its own bathroom nearby. In each bedroom you’ll find nods to the Tennessee Vols with pictures in each room celebrating the true Tennessee Vols Spirit. With four full bathrooms plus a half bath, everyone has room to refresh and recharge.
Whether you're grilling on the deck, gathering around the living room for a Tennessee Vols game night, or sneaking away for a quiet coffee overlooking the treetops, Smokey's Den wraps your group in warmth, style, and mountain magic from sunrise to starlight.
