Do you want to just see the Smokies from a distance of would you rather stay in the mountains with the majestic peaks surrounding you? Our chalet style, authentic Appalachian timber, log home sits on a .82 acre wooded lot, 2500 feet up on Cove Mountain and has no next door neighbors. All you see around you are beautiful views of the Great Smoky Mountains.
Southern Drawl Cabin offers over sixteen hundred square feet of living space, a great room with soaring cathedral ceilings, a spacious kitchen with an island, a main level bedroom with a queen size aspen log bed, and a loft bedroom with: a queen size bed, a queen size sofa sleeper, and an Arachnid dartboard console. There are two baths, one on the main level and one in the loft. All 3 TVs are supplied with Direct TV.
As you arrive at the cabin, the first thing you will notice is its expansive view of Cove Mountain. It still takes my breath away every time I walk out onto the deck! When you enter the cabin, you will be immediately greeted by the cathedral ceiling and 11 front windows that tower 2 stories in the Great Room. The windows provide an impressive and constant view of Cove Mountain and Wears Valley.
When you seek a break from all of your Smoky Mountain adventures, you can sink into our couches and watch DIrect TV or a movie on our DVD player all while warming your toes in front of the toasty gas fireplace (available Oct-Mar). Our dining area has seating for four, and we have a fully equipped kitchen where you can prepare a home cooked meal. The rest of the main level has a bedroom and a bath. The bedroom has an aspen log queen bed, armoire and dresser. You can enjoy your favorite TV show from under the fluffy comforter as you settle in for the night. The main level bath has a full size washer and dryer, a shower with sliding glass doors, a pedestal sink and toilet.
The stairs in the Great Room will lead you up to a spacious loft. A cabin isnt complete without a rustic chandelier and ours provides ambient lighting for the new sofa sleeper in the sitting area. Tucked away in the back corner is a queen size bed with another TV. The Loft also doubles as a game room. We have an Arachnid dartboard console along with storage cubes that are filled with crayons, coloring books, cards, DVDs and board games. The loft bathroom has a relaxing jetted tub where you can soak your cares away.
Outside you will find ample parking in our driveway. Our 2 tier composite deck offers beautiful views of Cove Mountain and the morning sunrise. The top deck, leads you around to our covered, outdoor, dining area. The bottom deck offers a suspended porch swing, and a hammock and will take you to the area of our enclosed hot tub. A perfect place for a relaxing soak!
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Southern Drawl Cabin is located in the quiet side of the Smokys in Wears Valley. While we are away from the hustle and bustle of downtown; Cades Cove, Metcalf Bottoms, The Sinks, Meigs Falls, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, Townsend, Dollywood and the Great Smoky National Park are within a 5-25 minute scenic drive away.

I am frequently asked, What is the drive up to the cabin like? Once you turn off of 321, its about a 3 mile drive. The first 2 miles are relatively flat; with a gradual incline. The last mile has more of an incline and 3 steep but short inclines; at this point you know you are going up. The road itself is 1-1/2 to 2 lanes wide, paved and in excellent shape compared to many others that Ive been on. 4 wheel drive is not necessary to get up the mountain (in normal driving conditions); it is a scenic, woodsy drive. The majority of people who live on the mountain are very courteous and will stop and pull off in a driveway to make the side by side passing of 2 larger vehicles easier. If youve never had the experience of driving up a mountain, the first time up you may feel a bit intimidated but like anything else, once youve done it and know where you are going and what to expect...its a breeze and the view from the cabin will be worth it. My daughter now laughs at herself and how scared she was the first time she drove up alone. Common sense and normal driving skills will get you to the cabin. I have yet to have received any complaints from Guests saying that the drive up was too much for them and they had to make other accommodation plans.
***WINTER SEASON GUESTS, just some things to consider. Winter is a beautiful time to come to the Smokys, but when it comes to the weather, it can also be unpredictable. If there is snow in the forecast, you might want to have a few local hotels on speed dial, and you will have to be willing to adapt to possible changes in your plans. Snow & ice can make the road to the cabin dangerous and impassable; snow plows do not service mountain roads. Your safety is our #1 concern. If you cant get up the mountain to the cabin, please try to find alternate accommodations in town, and we will refund your nights stay price accordingly. If you are stuck up at the cabin, stay put until its safe to drive down, even if its your day to check out. We will always work with our Guests during weather related issues and adjust pricing or issue refunds if snow or ice keep you from staying with us. If you are up at the cabin and snow is in the future forecast, think about having a decent supply of food on hand, just in case. Local restaurants will not deliver you food during a snow storm.

Meet The Host
Darcy
Owner
The Autumn of 2014, is the first time that I visited the Smokey Mountains, and I immediately fell in love. My return visit in 2016, confirmed those feelings, and in the fall of 2017, I purchased the cabin. I have 3 grown children (ages 27, 21 and 17), and became a first-time Grandma at the end of 2021. For the last 5 years, I have been doing service agreement scheduling for a HVAC company. My favorite thing about the cabin, besides the views, is the privacy.
