The home sits in the midst of 41 acres, yet close to town, with easy access, covered parking and is pet friendly. The homeowners of Serenity Mountain Retreat are very family oriented. Their wish is that you and your family will enjoy this beautiful mountain home and respect it as if it were your own. A lot of love and care has gone into building their family retreat. The owners invite you to bring your family here for rest and relaxation and to enjoy the beautiful mountains that surround the property. Since it is their family cabin it has a Christian theme, but all are welcome. This stunning home is handcrafted with the utmost attention to detail, with every amenity in mind for families and friends to enjoy! From the stone post and beam covered parking area that greets you upon arrival (large enough for several vehicles to park underneath), we hope you can truly feel the “love” that went into building this home. With its easy access right off the main road through Maggie Valley, 4 Loves is the perfect location if traveling by group on motorcycles or with trailers as the gentle paved drive comes directly to the home, through the carport. The wraparound driveway is completed with gravel to allow for easy egress as well. Your family will love the airiness of 4 Loves Lodge as you walk in the front door to the open living space. Large, overstuffed couches fill the living room as you are greeted by the custom stone fireplace with its hand-hewn mantle. Floor to ceiling windows let the light shine in, showing the majesty of the Smokies in the distance. This cabin offers a welcoming modern kitchen with all the comforts of home along with brand-new stainless-steel appliances, completed by the handmade octagon dining table that seats 12 persons comfortably and 16 people if you really like each other. The “big kids” hand hewn picnic style table is of the dining room and the “littles” smaller junior table is there as well. Both are perfect for dining or playing cards and games. Adjacent to indoor dining, you’ll step through the screened in porch for outdoor dining, that is connected to a massive outdoor deck, featuring Adirondack chairs and separate more intimate seating area under a covered alcove. Also on the main floor is the king master bedroom with full bath with tub/shower combo ensuite. The king bedroom opens to the covered alcove. Upstairs you’ll find two large queen bedrooms each including matching twin daybeds with trundles. Each bedroom has a high window desk area complete with stools, perfect for laptop computer work or for an afternoon of reading and mountain gazing. A full bath with tub/shower combo en-suite accompanies both bedrooms. Moving downstairs to the bottom level, you find two bedrooms, (one king and one queen bed) each with triple twin bunk beds and full bath with tub/shower combo. Conveniently adjacent to the king bedroom is a small crib room for those with wee ones. On this level is a large game room with pool, ping pong, shuffleboard and foosball tables, and big screen TV to watch your favorite ball games. Step outside and find another space for open-air dining as well as another small seating area and of course, a large 6-person hot tub! This property provides a separate living space that we call the “She-Shed” just steps away from the main house giving a couple privacy or workspace. The She-Shed sleeps 2 and offers its own bathroom and dining table. The She Shed also has its own mini-fridge, Keurig coffeemaker and large screen TV. Spectrum Cable TV is available in the living room, game room and the She-Shed. High Speed Spectrum internet and Wi-Fi is available throughout the house, and She-Shed.
