ABOUT

Most people want to experience the Great Smoky Mountains, but the area is crowded, so we created a simple way to get private cabins and direct access to nearby Big South Fork National Park so you can have all the magic of the Smokies without the crowds.

Established in 1996, this private retreat was designed with you in mind. The variety of cabin options paired with direct access to incredible nature and outdoor recreation blended with southern style, inside and out, provide you with the perfect balance of relaxation and excitement.

The serene surroundings of the Tennessee Mountains gently fill your soul. Southern air greets you while you take in the rejuvenating sun and feel the calmness of the southern soil beneath your restful feet. The surrounding Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, Pickett State Park, Pickett State Forest, Pogue Creek Canyon State Natural Area, Daniel Boone National Forest, and the Upper Cumberland Region give you all the hiking, biking, paddling, stargazing, rocking climbing, ATV riding, and horseback riding trails you could ask for.

Enjoy your choice of 1, 2, 3, or 4-bedroom cabins.

Please make yourself comfortable as our retreat, and all the properties we manage, are now your home away from home!
