About this property

Enjoy Breathtaking Sunrises over the Smokies -- A Luxury Cabin near Cades Cove

With a breathtaking view of the Chimney Tops, Mount LeConte and all the glory of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Sky Haven Lodge overlooks Laurel Valley from atop the foothills of the Smokies.

After a restful night's sleep on one of 5 beds (spread through 3 bedrooms and common spaces), wake up each morning and enjoy coffee on one of 3 decks with views for miles (no, literally -- like, 13+ miles!) and air so fresh your lungs will thank you.

From there, take your time making plans for the day in your spacious 2,700 square foot getaway. With two common areas, a large dining area, game room and a gigantic loft, there's space for everyone to kick back and have fun.

Enjoy breakfast (or lunch or dinner!) in our 10-seat dining area or outside on the screened-in porch.

What to do? Oh, the list is endless! Stay close with a tee time at Wild Laurel Golf course or head over to the clubhouse pool and get refreshed. Just around the corner are numerous outdoor adventures for the entire family, including: Hiking, rock-climbing, tubing, kayaking, fishing and more! If you'd prefer to take it easy, there are several scenic drives nearby, and beautiful Townsend with its local shops, crafts and restaurants is less than 8 minutes away.

Of course, you're also just minutes from Cades Cove, the Tuckaleechee Caverns, and Clingman's Dome, with the Island at Pigeon Forge and Dollywood/Splash Country both just 40 minutes away.

When your day is wrapping up, enjoy the fire in the sky at sunset. If it's cold, cozy up next to your gas fireplace with a cup of hot cocoa. And as the night gets dark, head up to the top deck for unparalleled stargazing.

An exterior security camera monitors the parking area, giving you extra peace of mind. While smart thermostats provide maximum comfort and smart locks so you'll never have to keep track of a set of keys!

Sky Haven Lodge is here for you to get rejuvenated and make memories to last a lifetime.
It would be our delight to host you.

Spectacular Scenery
The views are amazing at this house! A very beautiful place, I wish we had more time. Our group of 8 had plenty of room. We had an event in Maryville and also wanted to spend some time in the Smokies so the location was ideal between the two. Chris was friendly and responded immediately to any questions we had. The fitness room was well equipped and clean and the pool was inviting but we never got a chance to swim. The road to the house is very steep but we all managed just fine. We will be happy to stay again if we ever have the opportunity.

Weekend getaway
We had an absolutely amazing stay! The communication before and during our stay was exceptional. The home is perfectly set up with bedroom and bathroom on each level. We needed this trip to let go and reconnect and could not have found a better place to do it! We will definitely be back! Thanks so much for sharing your home.

New years trip!
We booked this cabin for my parents 50th wedding anniversary and had a blast! Townsend is such a nice area. Quiet but also close to Gatlinburg so we took the kids to the aquarium one day. We took a good hike to a waterfall, suitable for kids one day and it was gorgeous and so fun. The cabin was perfect for all of our diff families to sleep and we enjoyed the fireplace, cooking together, playing games including the pool table and old school Mario was a blast! The owner wrote back immediately whenever I asked something. Will stay here again and again hopefully!

Nice Cabin - Everything we needed
This was probably one of the nicest interior cabins that we have stayed at! There are no TV’s in the bedrooms, just living rooms, but that was honestly very nice! The adults nor children resorted to rooms and watching tv and we all spent time together as a family! This cabin had everything we needed! Beds were super comfy!

About the host

Hosted by Christopher & Kimberly Rackley

Host profile image
Kimberly and I have spent our lives living in every single state in the Southeastern US, but today we call Philadelphia home. Living in the city is exciting, but this family of ours is a mountain family at heart. We long for trails, rivers and waterfalls -- to venture into the unknown and come back with a tale or two. (Oh, and we *love* Dollywood!) Our children are already asking us if we'll "move to Tennessee one day" so they can bring their children to visit. And well, that settled it. We decided to get our own little dream home. But life's still life and we can't leave Philadelphia right now; so we're opening our dream home up to fine people such as you, to explore and enjoy the very land we love so much. We would be most honored to host you.

Why they chose this property

The very best thing about Sky Haven Lodge is that it can serve two purposes: If you need to get away and clear your mind of all the insanity that is "life" today, this place is for you. Secluded, yet accessible; quiet and spacious with all the amenities you'd need -- the Lodge has it all for you to take a deep breath and RESET.
But if you want adventure? It's got that, too. Refreshingly away from the all the tourist-y stuff, Sky Haven Lodge boasts nearby hiking, tubing, fishing, rafting, golfing and swimming. Oh, and if you want the Dollywood/Island/Ripley's experience (which we often do, too)? No worries, it's just 35-45 minutes away.
And perhaps our favorite in this post-COVID world, this cabin is fully set up for remote work. With a work station (and places to sit in every room), enjoy 300mb WIFI throughout the cabin -- great speeds even out on the decks! And with so much space inside and so much to do outside, it's not hard to bring your family along and keep them active and entertained while you do work, then spend quality time together.

What makes this property unique

We've packed our cabin with lots of neat features to help your family or group have a great time.
• In the loft, there's a baby gate; perfect to give a family with an infant toddler a fun, safe space to enjoy
• The main floor has a jetted tub, screened-in outdoor eating area, and cozy fire place, giving you multiple ways to unwind all year long.
• Downstairs, enjoy the game room with a convertible pool and ping pong table, as well as a NES Classic in the commons area.
• The crown jewel of the downstairs is Kid's Adventure area, crafted to give young children numerous imaginative activities to do.
• Enjoy 3 decks -- on each level -- two of which wrap around. With so much space overlooking so much beauty outside, you might never want to go inside.
• The bedrooms on the main floor and downstairs boast pillow-top king beds that will send you off to dreamy sleep and the loft offers two queen beds with equally lovely mattresses.
