Happy Camper - Secluded / Hot Tub / WiFi / Fire Pit / Wears Valley

Cattiage—n. hybrid of a cabin and a cottage designed for escape from daily pressures, enjoyment of God's creation as found in the Great Smoky Mountains, and equipped for relaxation, contemplation, and memorable fun.
“Happy Camper” –proper n. of “cattiage”
Nestled at the base of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in beautiful Wears Valley, Tennessee, “Happy Camper” rests on a shady and secluded knoll, easily accessible from scenic Highway 321 and within minutes of a Park entrance and action-packed Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.
Nature abounds on this 15+ acres of property. Deer, rabbits, squirrels, and yes, bears all inhabit the surrounding woods and would be considered your only neighbors. A mountain pathway adjoining “Happy Camper” invites you to stroll or hike among mature hardwoods, mountain laurel, rhododendrum. Find the park bench along the path and stop to enjoy a little solitude. The driveway from Covemont Road (county road) to the property is in excellent condition. If you arrive at night, no problem; motion lights will automatically illuminate for you! Only six steps up from the driveway, and you have arrived onto the covered entry deck with a key-pad door!
Welcome inside the Joanna Gaines' motif “Happy Camper” where the fully-equipped kitchen awaits you (owners are parents of five and grandparents of seven so they know the importance of having cookie sheets, a toaster, and plenty of pots and pans available to you). Even a washer and dryer are hidden in the kitchen closet. A dining table seats four easily, and there are also tv trays on hand to extend seating or to use while relaxing in living/sunrooms. Additionally, there is a custom-built picnic table and a gas grill right out the door for al fresco dining and grilling.
The living area boasts of double leather recliners, shag rug, large tv, and murphy bed with top of the line SealyTM mattress (single size). Cozy gas corner fireplace will provide beautiful flames great to watch while also providing an excellent source of warm heat! The adjoining sunroom has two loveseats (one of which makes out to single bed also with comfortable mattress). The sunroom is a favorite place to stretch out with a good book!
Everything needed for a wonderful night's sleep or an afternoon nap is included in the bedroom. King-sized bed (again, with top of the line mattress—owners say a good night's sleep is important to a good vacation), phone docking stations built into side tables, custom-made shutters to enjoy both privacy as well as the natural beauty of the outdoors. There is also a tv in the bedroom if you'd like to end your day with a good movie or wake up to some morning news (but why?).
Bathroom is accessible from both living area and from bedroom and includes a full-sized see- through corner shower, sink with space for additional items (makeup, toothbrushes, etc.). Forget your hair dryer? No problem. There is one in the bathroom for you! Bathroom also has nice window to enjoy both additional light and the nature outdoors.
“Happy Camper” has a covered front porch with rockers (metal porch roof so you will enjoy hearing the mountain rain). Additionally, the front porch deck is completely enclosed with a latched gate so that little ones or a small pet are kept safe.
On the back and also private side of the cattiage is an open deck featuring a built-in hot tub (also with a latched gate), Adirondack chairs for soaking in the afternoon sunshine, and a view directly towards the outdoor firepit. The hot tub is brand new, just like everything else at “Happy Camper and is professionally maintained with the highest standards of cleanliness.
Go straight into the woods from the open deck and gather your own kindling and logs for a memorable night around the campfire (hot dog and marshmallow skewers are in kitchen cabinet). Create your own personal ambience on the private deck, in the hot tub, and around the firepit. The night is yours! Seize the moment!
Just a little extra information is that our water is straight out of the mountains via a private well and is chocked full of vitamins and minerals. It is excellent tasting; so much so that many people come to get their drinking water from this area.
“Happy Camper” is the perfect cattiage for two but can also accommodate two additional guests with the inclusion of the custom-built Murphy bed and the pull-out sofa.
