Amber Refresh: a light-filled 5BR retreat with shared pool, hot tub & pool table—30 min to Knoxville, near Douglas Lake & the Smokies. Set on a wooded lot in the rolling foothills outside Knoxville, Amber Refresh is a bright, contemporary five-bedroom retreat built for groups who want room to spread out and plenty of ways to stay entertained. Floor-to-ceiling windows pull the surrounding treetops indoors, filling the open living spaces with natural light and an easy, airy feel. Gather in the living room, where comfortable seating wraps around a pool table—the kind of setup that turns a quiet evening into a friendly tournament. The fully equipped kitchen handles everything from morning coffee to a full group dinner, and when you'd rather cook outside, double BBQ grills are ready to fire up. Out back, you'll have access to a shared pool and hot tub tucked among the trees. Float through a warm afternoon with the treetops overhead, or sink into the jacuzzi as the East Tennessee sky turns gold at sunset. The five bedrooms and four baths keep everyone comfortable: four are furnished with queen beds—including a primary suite with its own ensuite bath and a room that opens straight to the outdoors—while the fifth pairs a queen with three twins, an easy fit for kids, multigenerational families, or a big group of friends. Amber Refresh also lands you in one of East Tennessee's sweet spots. Downtown Knoxville is about 30 minutes away, with its historic theaters, riverfront restaurants, and the iconic Sunsphere at World's Fair Park. Closer to home, Douglas Lake is a quick drive for a day on the water—boating, fishing, or finding a quiet cove to swim. And the Great Smoky Mountains are within easy reach: Sevierville, the gateway to the national park, sits roughly 35 minutes south, opening the door to Pigeon Forge favorites like Dollywood, The Island, and Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies, plus the wildlife loop at Cades Cove and 800-plus miles of mountain trails just beyond. Whether you came to hike the country's most-visited national park, spend lazy days on the lake, or simply unwind somewhere green and quiet, Amber Refresh is your basecamp for a true East Tennessee escape. If you love spending time in nature, staying active, and celebrating wildlife, a trip to the Great Smoky Mountains is a must. Located along the Tennessee/North Carolina border and home to the country's most visited national park, the Smokies provide over 800 miles of hiking trails, rivers, and a good chance at a black bear sighting. The ancient mountains invite you to connect with one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world and walk among century-old trees. Talk about a step back in time!
