Best Cottage Ever!!!

I want to start by saying Thank You Leah!! We've been going to the Smoky Mtns for several years and this was by far the best cabin we've ever rented. We will rent this one from now on. We didn't want for anything at all. If we needed something, it was there. We were inspired by your photo memory wall and bought lots of photo frames while there so we can make one at our homes. We looked at the pictures of your family daily and had conversations. We just loved this. We even looked through the old cookbooks and loved the kitchen prayer. We read your memoir and the history of your grandparents home was truly a blessing to us. Brought back memories of us being at our grandparents as little girls. We also made special memories there this week. We enjoyed our whole vacation but we really enjoyed this peaceful cottage. It was so relaxing there. We will definitely be coming back to your place from now on. It's very cute, very clean (immaculate) and convenient location. Customer Service was the best and communication and check in was a breeze. Thank you Leah for such a great home away from home. Thank you for your kindness and again the Photo memory wall was AWESOME! I just can't say enough about this place! We absolutely loved and enjoyed our stay.

Adorable

This is our second time at Tarwater Cottage and we absolutely love it!! We stayed in the hottest part of summer last time and this was a nice, cool spot, even in the heat of the day. It has all the amenities you need. The entry is easy. The contact with the host is easy. It’s super clean and the beds are comfy. The porch is an amazing place to hangout in the morning and evening. There are birds, rabbits and squirrels to watch. The proximity to Sevierville is so nice but you’re not trapped in all the traffic just to get to it. There are plenty of TVs for the whole group. It’s so peaceful and after a long day of traveling around, it’s incredibly relaxing. HIGHLY recommend!

Wonderful Cottage for an amazing visit to TN!

Our family of 5 just loved this little cottage. Beds for everyone and it had everything we could ever need. The owner was amazing to work with and even helped us manage a small issue that came up after check-in. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!

Grand Dollywood adventure

Nana, Papa and three Grands enjoyed our stay at the cozy cabin. Everything was perfect for sleeping and breakfast making as we headed to full days at Dollywood! So relaxing to come home to our comfortable, well appointed cabin just a 15 minute no hassle drive to the Park! We will be back again in the fall. Thank you!!

Cozy Cottage!

We had a great weekend at the little cottage. It’s the sweetest little farmhouse and we all loved the layout. Comfortable beds, wonderful little kitchen and quiet area with easy accesses. We can’t wait to stay again! My girls loved their room with the twins beds!

About the host

Hosted by Leah Wicker

This cottage was built in 1946 by my Grandparents - Estle & Velma Tarwater. My grandmother's family lived in Elkmont & Tremont before The Great Smoky Mountain National Park was established. My mother and her sister grew up in this house. Although both have moved away from Sevierville they decided to keep the homeplace for the family - a home away from home. We hope you enjoy your stay!!

Why they chose this property

My brother, cousin and I spent two weeks every summer with our grandparents at this cute little cottage! We have wonderful memories here and hope you make memories for your family as well.

What makes this property unique

This cottage is nestled in a small, quiet area - away from most of the noise. Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the peaceful mornings. We are located 7 miles from Pigeon Forge.
