If you are looking to get away from your daily grind, our property will deliver the serenity and peace you need to recharge. By renting one of our cabins you will experience a superior level of quality and service that the large property management companies in the area cannot offer. The reason you ask? We are the actual owners of our cabins, and we personally manage every detail ourselves. My name is Chris. My wife Sarah and I are the owners. The majority of rental cabins in the area are managed by large property managers who have a whole lot to keep up with. Unfortunately, this can lead to a property to fall behind in its care and cleaning. This leads to a poor traveler experience and a lack of personal service. We try to be different. We only own 6 cabins, and that allows us to give more time and attention to our properties. The exceptional quality of our properties and the personal level of service you will receive will leave no doubt in your mind that you made the best choice for your Smoky Mountains vacation. Our cabins are competitively priced for what they offer with their location and amenities. All of our properties provide our guests a sense of privacy, and are not in areas where you will feel intruded on by a neighboring cabin. We may not be the lowest priced cabin you will find, but that is by design. We want to be one of the best, not the absolute cheapest. We want you make long lasting memories that you will cherish for many years into the future. We are always a phone call or text away if you need us at any point after you make your reservation, and during your stay. The last thing you want is to have to chase someone down if you have a question or a problem. Cleaning: We understand cleaning is now more important than ever. Our cleaners are using an enhanced cleaning routine to ensure the property has been thoroughly disinfected prior to your arrival. Our cleaners are using an anti-viral/antibacterial cleaner on all frequently touched surfaces such as counter-tops, door handles, light switches, and other frequently touched surfaces. Our hot tub is drained, scrubbed, refilled with fresh water, and chemicals added between each guest. We hope these extra measures make you feel comfortable during your stay at our cabin. Our sprawling property is ideal for games of hide-and-seek and family BBQs. The walking bridge across the stream leads you to our peaceful stream-side sitting area featuring a wood burning fire pit and two charcoal burning BBQ grills. Our downstairs game room is perfect for keeping the kids and teens busy when grown-ups want some downtime. We have three full size arcade games, a pool table, foosball table, and a corn-hole set to occupy the kids and adults alike. We also have an in-ground basketball goal alongside the driveway to play As the daylight fades, sink into one of our rockers and take in in the mountain laurel-scented surroundings, and watch the sun slowly dip behind the trees. Enjoy cozy nights in front of the fireplace and lazy breakfasts in the fully stocked kitchen. Don't forget to relax for a while in our five person hot tub while enjoying the peacefulness of our property. We named our property "Laurel Creek Hideaway" because it is positioned alongside a peaceful, winding mountain stream that defines this location. Gentle cascades of water flow down the stream as it winds its way along our property. The stream makes its way from behind the lodge, and then winds its way along the side of our decks down the length of our property to the end of the driveway. Enjoy the peace and calming effects of the mountain stream at our cabin. The lodge is also surrounded by beautiful mountain laurels which produce aromatic blooms in early to mid Summer. We have a walking bridge built across the stream that leads to a private wooded area next to the stream. Here you will find a wood burning fire pit and a seating area where you can relax and enjoy nature's beauty. Dip your toes in the stream, and feel free to roast marshmallows and hot dogs on the fire. This area is peaceful, secluded, and serene. You will surely lose track of time as you enjoy the beauty nature has to offer.
