Pioneers in the Sky

Pioneers in the Sky: Tennessee

Perched atop a private 36-acre hilltop, this home boasts mesmerising views of the Smoky Mountains and Wears Valley. This cosy, quirky home even has a rooftop walkway where you can drink in the unparalleled views – but if the spiral staircase proves too difficult for some guests, there are floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the home, and the views are stunning from every angle. We love the open-hearth fireplace, and the hot tub on the deck – this home is all about unwinding and spending quality time together. You’ll be perfectly based for hiking in the Smoky Mountains and driving along Foothills Parkway, though you’ll definitely need a car to get around. The nearest shops and supplies can be found in Pigeon Forge, a twenty-minute drive away.

Home truths:
*There’s parking for up to four cars at this home. Please note that the driveway to this home is steep and windy – in winter, 4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive vehicles are recommended. Having a car is essential at this remote home.
*The wi-fi at this home is strong enough for browsing and sending emails, but not for streaming. If you plan on working a lot during your stay, you’ll need to bring your own personal hotspot.
*The second floor of this home is accessed via a spiral staircase, so it may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility. The bedrooms are all on the main floor though.
*Your host kindly asks that you respect the quiet hours from 9pm-9am.
