Wild Laurel Lodge is a charming authentic log cabin nestled among the quiet, wandering hills of Laurel Valley, bordering the National Park. Breathe in the serene mountain air and enjoy the momentary repose The Great Smoky Mountains offer. The spacious Master bedroom is warm and welcoming, with a King size bed, seating area and cable TV. Attached is a large, bright bathroom with a soothing Jacuzzi, and walk-in shower. Outside of the Master bedroom is a large porch that also connects to the inside living room. The darling screened in patio looks out into the thick Tennessee foliage and provides an exceptional atmosphere for entertaining. There is a stainless propane gas grill on the back deck to fire up any occasion! The gourmet kitchen is well equipped and offers basic stock of spices and pantry items. Expansive granite counter space and stainless-steel appliances will ensure ease and enjoyment while working in the kitchen. This Great Room is centered around an inviting gas fireplace, oversized flat screen TV, and large farm table for gathering. Once you make your way downstairs, there is a cozy family room with a second electric fireplace, cable TV and DVD player, as well as room for games. Be sure to check out the library selection to access local information including hikes, area history of the Smokies, and identify our wild life. The best is yet to come, with a second wrap-around porch and a new hot tub, as well as rocking chairs and an oversized relaxing porch swing. There are two additional private bedrooms, one with King Size bed and adjoining bathroom, and Queen Size bed, with a third full bathroom and Sleeper Sofa in the lower Den.
