A Trepp Ranch property
Family friendly cabin
Serenity Ridge is a luxury cabin designed for comfort, fun and relaxation. Located just 3 miles from Pigeon Forge & only 2 miles from downtown Gatlinburg, Serenity Ridge is as centrally located to both destinations as you can find and it’s only three minutes from the parkway up to our cabin. It’s a central location with great views of the lower valley and Mt. LeConte without a long drive up the mountain.
A trip to The Great Smoky Mountains means mountain views and unlike other cabins, Serenity Ridges views of Mt LeConte and the lower valley are unobstructed year round. While the views are awe inspiring in the daylight, nighttime brings its own magical experience as lights from distant cabins twinkle like fireflies. Add a little snow during winter and it becomes even more of a storybook experience.
Our covered wrap around porch was designed to provide both a great experience and to frame the striking views with our log columns. Combining those views with amenities like our hot tub, bench swings, grill and outdoor dining area plus a fire pit creates an environment where stress just melts away.
From sunup to sundown relaxation is yours to enjoy. You can have your morning coffee while watching the sunrise over the mountains and sip a glass of wine in the hot tub watching the sunset play along the side of Mt. LeConte or sit around the fire pit and enjoy the stars and the sounds of nature.
As you enter Serenity Ridge off the wrap around porch you come into the main area where wood floors, tongue and groove walls throughout, comfortable furnishings and striking views of the lower valley will help you to immediately start relaxing.
The kitchen includes Stainless steel refrigerator, dishwasher, built in microwave & stove top oven along with granite counter tops and custom Hickory cabinets along with the kitchen items needed to provide the perfect environment to indulge your inner chef and create everything from a quick snack to full dinners. Our dining room seats six comfortably.
If grilling is your preference, we invite you to use our high temp gas grill where you can prepare your Steaks, chicken and burgers while enjoying one of the best views you’ve ever had while grilling. Once done, gather at the outside dining area on the wrap around porch and enjoy your meal while taking in the beauty of both the valley and mountain views.
The master bedroom suite on the first floor comes with a king size bed, full bathroom with double vanity, his & her closets with hangers, full size dresser, 43 inch smart t.v., luxury linens and a washer/dryer. It also has its own door out to the wrap around porch and hot tub.
The living room has a 52 inch smart t.v., a comfortable couch which pulls out to a queen size sleeper and an electric fireplace with heater to make snuggling up for a show or movie even more special.
Upstairs you will find a stunning vaulted ceiling and gorgeous views of the lower valley and Mt. LeConte. The second bedroom is appointed with a queen bed and full size closet with dresser and hangers, 43 inch smart t.v. and views of Mt. LeConte out the bedroom window. There is also a full bathroom with a double vanity and a walk in shower.
Vacations are about fun and upstairs our game room is designed for just that. With a full size air hockey table, foosball table, a game wall with family favorite board games and a game table to gather around and play, a mini fridge for your favorite snacks and drinks and a high-top table for two where you can take a break and soak in the views of Mt. LeConte.
There is also a second entertainment area with a 52 inch smart t.v. over an electric fireplace with a reclining love seat and a separate reclining chair for your comfort. For the hiker in you there is a framed wall map of the Smoky Mountains so you can find your favorite hiking trail or mountain feature.
Finally, we top it off with high-speed internet, a great cable package and an outdoor area where you can sit back in our Adirondack chairs and enjoy the scenic views of the Great Smoky Mountains.
