About this property
Exclusive Suite”The Grotto”Jacuzzi in Suite Pets Welcome!
Staying here is about comfort, freedom, and truly feeling at ease — for you and your pets. The property is quiet, wooded, and intentionally relaxed, offering a peaceful mountain setting where guests can unwind without feeling restricted or rushed.
Mornings are calm and refreshing. Step outside with a cup of coffee and you’re surrounded by trees, birdsong, and clean mountain air. A short walk brings you to Mirror Lake, a small pond that reflects the forest and sky like glass on still days — a favorite spot for quiet moments, thoughtful pauses, and easy starts to the day.
This is an extremely pet-friendly property — not just “pets allowed,” but pets genuinely welcomed. There’s space to walk, explore, and relax, and guests traveling with dogs often comment on how comfortable and accommodating the environment feels.
For dog lovers, one of the biggest perks is the exclusive, beautifully maintained dog park located just one mile away — widely considered the best dog park in Gatlinburg. It’s a fantastic place for pups to run, play, and socialize, and a favorite stop for guests who want their dogs to enjoy the vacation just as much as they do.
Throughout the day, guests enjoy the flexibility of the property. Whether you’re heading out to explore Gatlinburg, hiking nearby trails, or choosing to stay in and relax, the atmosphere here feels private, judgment-free, and easygoing.
Evenings settle in quietly. The air cools, the light softens, and the property becomes especially peaceful. It’s a place where guests feel comfortable being themselves, slowing down, and enjoying the simple pleasures of a mountain retreat.
Many guests describe the property as a hidden haven — welcoming, relaxed, and refreshingly different from traditional rentals. It’s ideal for travelers looking for nature, privacy, pet-friendly comfort, and a stay that feels genuinely unforced and free.

The Scene & Neighborhood
One of the things I love most about this neighborhood is how peaceful it feels while still being close to everything. It’s the kind of place where mornings are quiet, the air smells like trees, and the sounds you notice most are birds, wind through the leaves, and the occasional rustle of wildlife.
Just steps away is Mirror Lake, a small pond tucked into the landscape that lives up to its name. On calm days, the water reflects the surrounding trees and sky like glass — it’s especially beautiful in the early morning and at sunset. It’s a favorite spot to pause, take a breath, sip a cup of coffee, or simply sit and enjoy how still everything feels.
The neighborhood itself feels natural and unhurried. There’s no traffic noise, no crowds — just winding roads, wooded views, and a sense of being gently removed from the busy world. At the same time, you’re only a short drive from Gatlinburg, hiking trails, dining, and all the Smoky Mountain adventures you came for.
What I enjoy most is the balance: you get the serenity of a secluded mountain setting with the convenience of nearby attractions. It’s easy to slow down here — and just as easy to head out when you’re ready to explore.
