Description

Most of us have witnessed that defiant little kindergartner firmly stating, "I'm not tired!" as they try mightily to hold their eyes open after a long day. Have you yourself ever wished for a long-enough calm moment just to take a nap? Weary ones both young and old can find pleasant refuge here at Quiet Harmony.

This family-friendly, 2 bedroom/2 bath log home is located with easy access in the Hickory Hollow community of Wears Valley, surrounded by lovely trees and only a short walk from a catch-and-release fishing pond. Guests here enjoy free use privileges of both the pond and a community pool (2 minutes by car) throughout their visit.

Let's enter the main level great room living area. Explore this warmhearted, true log cabin with authentic interior wooden walls and a lovely, 2-story open vaulted space. Put your feet up on one of the reclining sofas, and then choose between gazing at the corner ledge stone gas fireplace or at the large-screen TV above the mantel. All can share 3 TV's located through the home, and those family social media influencers can post easily online with free internet access.

The corner eat-in kitchen is tucked neatly underneath the upstairs loft, where 4 can gather around to destroy a mound of nachos at the island counter. Simple additions like a Keurig coffee maker and toaster oven make for easy snacking before and after meals. Adjacent to a bright bay window, gather for breakfast face-to-face at the square mission wood dining table with bench and chair seating for 4 people.

"Bears gone mountain fishing" might well describe the playful decorations throughout the cabin, to help you spend your leisure days with a little less gravity, where both adults and children can play and relax around bear family and friends--those harmless and approachable ones located inside, that is.

The king master suite is also located on the main level. Blessed with lots of natural light, it features a unique, reclaimed wood headboard and matelasse bedding quilt. The private bath offers the difficult choice between sinking into the corner whirlpool soaking tub or a soothing dousing in the separate step-in shower.

Grip the aspen log railing as you ascend the stairs to the open mezzanine level above the living area. The loft area offers a game room plus kid retreat. Here you'll find an elevated shuffleboard game and foosball table, a round table for chess, checkers, cards or board games, an electronic darts game, and a resident audience of stuffies to cheer on the game players. Two sets of corner twin bunkbeds allow all the children to sleep and share memories together.

Also located upstairs is a chaperone's queen bedroom with friendly, bear-themed decor, quilted bedding, and its own private bath.

Exit the home onto the back deck screened porch, for bug-free, all-weather outdoor enjoyment. There's plenty of room for toddlers with ride-on toys to roam while adults have a conversation seated on the bench and chairs. Warm the gas grill for a quick at-home lunch and dine on the deck before setting out on afternoon adventures.

A special treat is the flat yard surrounded by woodland trees to explore, and maybe even stage an all family members included, epic Nerf gun battle! The front porch offers respite for kid supervisors to relax on the Adirondack bench swing and wooden rockers. Plentiful paved parking also offers a spot for bouncing balls or playing catch. Later in the evening, all can gather at the backyard fire pit for stories, s'mores, and staring at campfire embers.

From early morning until late in the evening, this home offers opportunity for members to gather together for creating some life music--those memories you will talk about long after your trip is done.

So come, enjoy a peaceful (or even a bit rowdy) family vacation where your home provides harmony between both indoor and outdoor living. This is truly an ideal spot for any season in the Smokies. So if your life has become a bit out of tune, please get here fast, and then take it slow for superb mountain living at Quiet Harmony. Our team at Volunteer Cabin Rentals will gladly assist you in planning your stay.
