Description

Work life. Parent life. And, well, life life. A daily rushed existence that is either hectic play by play or organized chaos.There is much to manage in family life, including blood pressure and patience. Are you seeking tranquility? Then find this path to a break from busy everyday life, as you travel down the paved driveway past a small pond, to arrive at Sweet Serenity.

This 2 bedroom, 2 bath chalet-style cabin is planted on a forested hillside in the Wilderness Mountain Estates community, and offers three levels of getaway space. The calm exterior view from the covered decks is the circle drive, a small entrance pond, and the surrounding mountain foothills beyond.

There are two levels of covered decking to enjoy the Smokies outdoors. The main level offers rocking chairs and lounge seating, with ceiling fans to stir a soft breeze for pleasant conversations. Also here is a gas grill for convenient fresh-grilled meals for your hungry family. An additional charcoal park grill is around the corner for authentic woodfire cooking. The lower level deck includes more rocking chairs and a porch bench swing. It's a favorite spot to sway in peace with a steaming cup in hand, while absorbing the sounds of the backyard hillside forest. For more family sharing, cross the footbridge over a small stream to build a bonfire in the outdoor fire pit, circled by cut log seating. The home's outdoor features offer several options to enjoy the natural surroundings, as a relaxing adult or a curious child explorer.

Let's look into the cabin's interior. The entry leads to an open plan great room space with two-story, vaulted ceilings and exposed wood beams. Clerestory windows above flood the space with natural light and glimpses of trees and sky beyond. The overall feeling is pleasantly warm with aged hardwood flooring, and reclaimed wooden handcrafted furnishings. The home is playfully decorated with whimsical woodland animal friends throughout, for the smiles and amusement of both young and old. Rest easy that the only predators found here are family members covertly seeking the remaining dessert in the refrigerator.

Take a few moments to sink into the living room sofa before the mountain stone gas fireplace, and catch the championship ballgame on the flat screen television above the hearth. The cabin offers a total 3 satellite HD TV's and a DVD player, along with free wireless access to satisfy everyone's media selections. Also adjacent to the living space is an indoor oversized Jacuzzi tub to relax in swirling water, while watching the flames in the fireplace or even a television movie. Soothing water therapy is available here both indoors and outdoors, as there is also a large hot tub to share, located on the lower level deck outside.

The corner U-shaped kitchen on the main level features farmhouse-style barn door cabinets and a smooth top cooking surface. Compact and efficient, this well-equipped space makes it easy to prepare simple snacks or an elaborate multi-course meal. Indulge-remember-you are on holiday! The rectangular wooden dining table supplies seating for 8 with both benches and chairs, and can later transform into an ideal spot for boardgames or jigsaw puzzles.

Looking for a little peace of mind? Ascend the open step wooden staircase to the upper loft area above the great room. Here you'll find an aspen log king bed with color-block quilted bedding, a dressing table, a reading spot, and a full bath with shower/tub combination.
