About this cabin rental


Where the "Peaceful Side" of the Smokies Meets Refined Luxury.

While the valley below is still shrouded in mist, morning at Sky Haven Lodge begins with a private performance. Perched near the summit of Laurel Valley, this custom-built 2,700-square-foot sanctuary offers a front-row seat to the most spectacular sunrise in Tennessee. Here, "First Light" isn’t just a time of day—it’s a sensory experience that floods our 2,000 square feet of private decks, turning the 13-mile view of the Chimney Tops and Mount LeConte into gold.

Whether you are seeking a basecamp for Smoky Mountain adventure or a secluded space to recover in style, Sky Haven Lodge is designed for the art of the escape.

THE SKY HAVEN DIFFERENCE: THREE LEVELS OF PRIVACY
Designed with the sophistication of a high-end ski lodge, our tri-level layout ensures that being "together" never feels crowded. With a dedicated bedroom and full bathroom on every floor, Sky Haven is the premier choice for multi-generational families or three couples traveling together.

THE SUNRISE LOFT: Wake up to a masterpiece. This expansive level features dual plush mattresses positioned under panoramic windows, offering an ethereal start to your day. Enjoy your first coffee at the "Sunrise Café" bistro set on the private upper deck.

THE MAIN LEVEL: The heart of the home. A vaulted great room with a stone gas fireplace, a gourmet kitchen, and the primary King Suite featuring a Christeli King mattress for world-class orthopedic recovery.

THE ADVENTURE BASEMENT: A social hub for all ages. This level houses our second King Suite, the billiards lounge, and the educator-curated kids' zone.

RESTORATION AS AN AMENITY
We believe a vacation is only as good as the sleep you get. We’ve bypassed standard hospitality bedding for Christeli King mattresses on the primary levels—the same quality found in five-star mountain resorts like Paws Up. After a day of hiking Cades Cove, your body will thank you.

THE IMAGINATION WORKSHOP (KIDS' ADVENTURE AREA)
Travel with children is elevated here. Our play area wasn't an afterthought; it was curated by an educator of 20+ years. From the indoor camping tent and Magna-Tiles to our "Friends of the Forest" plush companions, we provide an environment that sparks wonder and keeps the "little explorers" engaged while the adults enjoy the view.

THE LAUREL VALLEY LIFESTYLE
As our guest, you enjoy exclusive access to the amenities of the gated Laurel Valley community:

WILD LAUREL GOLF: A stunning 18-hole course carved into the foothills.

THE CLUBHOUSE POOL: Refresh and recharge with a mountain backdrop (seasonal).

GATED SECURITY: Peace of mind is standard here, with 24/7 gate access and a private, professional atmosphere.

THE PERFECT LOCATION: THE "PEACEFUL SIDE"
Avoid the neon lights and traffic of the tourist strips. Sky Haven is located in Townsend, known as the "Peaceful Side of the Smokies."

CADES COVE (20 Mins): The crown jewel of the National Park is practically in your backyard.

TOWNSEND (5 Mins): Local artisan shops, riverside dining, and the Tuckaleechee Caverns.

ADVENTURE: Tubing the Little River, fly fishing, and world-class hiking trails are all within a 10-minute drive.

PIVOT TO THE ACTION: When you want the excitement of Dollywood or Pigeon Forge, you’re an easy 40-minute scenic drive away—close enough to enjoy, far enough to escape.

MODERN ESSENTIALS FOR THE MODERN TRAVELER
GIG-SPEED WIFI: Full mesh coverage for "work-from-mountain" professionals and multi-device streaming.

STREAMING SUITE: YouTube TV (Live Sports/News) and Amazon Prime included.

GOURMET KITCHEN: Fully stocked for 10-guest holiday meals.

CLIMATE CONTROL: Three independent smart thermostats for personalized comfort on every floor.

A NOTE ON OUR ALLERGEN-FREE PROMISE
To ensure the safety of our guests—including our own son who lives with severe asthma—Sky Haven is a strictly pet-free and smoke-free sanctuary. We take great pride in maintaining a pristine, allergen-free environment for all who stay with us.

The mountains are calling. The sunrise is waiting. It would be our professional honor to host you at Sky Haven Lodge.

Our family had a wonderful stay at Sky Haven. The house was amazing, the views from the decks were beautiful, and we had everything we needed for a really nice stay with our family of varying ages. We even had a black bear that would visit the deck from time to time. Our 2 and 1 year old got a big thrill watching him through the windows and still have not stopped talking about him. Thank you so much for sharing your house with us.
