The space
☆☆ YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME ☆☆
If you're tired of dark, dated Smokies cabins with worn-out furniture, The Nest At The Foothills will genuinely surprise you. This 864 sq ft Scandinavian-inspired chalet is clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed; the kind of place guests photograph, tag, and come back to year after year.
Soak in the hot tub while the mountain reveals itself beyond the tree line. Smell the forest air. Hear the sounds of the Smokies at night. This is exactly the Gatlinburg getaway you've been looking for.

Other things to note
SMALL BATHROOMS
The bathrooms in this property are small! While the shower sizes are definitely roomy and standard, the sink spaces are tiny and the toilets are wedged between them and the showers. If you need extra counter space to get ready this may not be the best fit.
ROADS/DRIVEWAY
The roads are somewhat narrow and a few parts are steep/on an incline. They can also be dark at night. However, if you want to stay in the mountains you will have to navigate this with almost any property you book. Trust us, you will be a pro after you have driven the roads once! We encourage a four-wheel drive vehicle in the winter months due to the chance of snow. If it does snow, please be aware that the roads can freeze and the county isn't the best at clearing or salting the side roads. It's the South so it happens infrequently and they wait for it to melt.
CELL SERVICE/WIFI
Both work great!
HOUNDS IN THE HOLLER
Dogs reside somewhere in the foothills of Mt Le Conte. Their barks echo and can be heard outside of this property at times. We have yet to actually hear them while inside, but tower fans with white noise capabilities have been provided in each bedroom just in case!
CABIN COMMUNITY
This property sits within a community of other cabins/chalets. Therefore, you may hear and/or see your neighbors at times. If you are looking for a more secluded property then check out my other listings as they may fit the bill!
CRITTERS
The chalet is less than 4 miles from the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. There are over 19,000 species that have been documented in the park and scientists believe another 80,000-100,000 species may live there. Therefore, a lot of those critters also reside in our neck of the woods. The chalet is treated monthly by a licensed pest control company, however, there is still a chance that a critter could make its way inside (for example: a bug) or outside (for example: a bear). It is just a part of forest living!
MOUNTAIN VIEW
There is an opening of trees which creates a small unobstructed view of Mt Le Conte. You can see the outline of the whole mountain behind the other trees, especially when the leaves are not filled in.
