--LIVING SPACE--
The main living room is the perfect spot to hang out in style, where floor-to-ceiling windows and vaulted ceilings showcase the stunning wilderness views from the second floor. On a winter night, turn on the fireplace for a cozy night in, and during the summer, keep the sliding door open for a refreshing evening breeze. Please note the main entry of the home is located on the first floor. The second and third floors are accessible via stairs only.

It's not a family vacation without a little competitive spirit! Head downstairs and challenge your companions to billiards or a board game - or just kick back and watch your favorite show, movies, or big games on the 68" Samsung smart TV with streaming apps.

--KITCHEN & DINING--
Between skiing at Ober Gatlinburg and riding the rollercoasters at Dollywood, you'll surely work up an appetite! The kitchen is also located on the second floor and fully equipped with everything you could need to cook for a group. It faces the living room, so conversation can flow effortlessly.

The kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel appliances, including a refrigerator, freezer (with ice machine!), electric stove, oven, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, and dishwasher. There's also plenty of counter space and a double sink for easy clean-up. The cabinets are stocked with new dishes, cookware, and glasses. Pots and pans are available; please note we do not provide condiments such as salt and pepper.

Whether you get take-out from Geppettos or cook a homestyle favorite, settle in for a delicious meal at the huge dining table, which seats at least 10. For a quick snack, there's a breakfast bar with 4 stools, or opt for dinner with a view and head outside to the outdoor dining table on the deck.
