Morning fog lifts off the Smokies while coffee brews for the whole crew. Sweet Escape sits one mile off the Parkway, minutes from Dollywood, and sleeps 34 across three spacious levels built for connection. Days end in the private hot tub under the stars, in the barrel sauna, or in two game rooms stacked with a pool table, arcade classics, foosball, and air hockey. Six king retreats. Flat parking for 6 to 8 cars. Bring everyone and take home the stories.
ABOUT THIS SPACE
Sweet Escape was designed around one idea: big groups should feel together, never crowded.
Two Game Zones, Endless Rematches
Rack up the pool table, face off at foosball and air hockey, and go retro on the classic X-Men arcade cabinet and game console. Life-size games and multiple Smart TVs by the fireplace keep movie nights and tournaments running late.
A Kitchen That Feeds a Crowd
The fully stocked kitchen features granite countertops and everything you need to cook for a crew. Two dining tables plus outdoor seating mean all 34 of you can actually eat together. High-speed Wi-Fi and a dedicated workspace keep you connected, and the in-unit washer and dryer keep things fresh on longer stays.
Built for Little Ones
A dedicated children's playroom comes stocked with books, toys, and games, and we provide a high chair, children's dinnerware, and a Pack 'n Play for restful nights.

Outdoor Living
Rock gently in classic rocking chairs on the private decks, then soak your cares away in the private hot tub beneath the stars. The barrel sauna warms you up on crisp mountain evenings. You also enjoy seasonal access to the community resort swimming pool, open Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, seven days a week except Wednesdays. Visiting in fall or winter? The hot tub, sauna, and game rooms are yours all year long.

WHO THIS HOME IS BEST FOR
Multi-generation family reunions. Grandparents settle into wheelchair-friendly main level suites while grandkids claim the bunk rooms, and everyone meets in the middle for dinner at two big tables.
Groups of couples. Six king bedrooms, five of them suites with fireplaces and Jacuzzi tubs, mean nobody draws the short straw. There is no bad room here.
Families with young kids. The playroom, high chair, Pack 'n Play, and kid-friendly game spaces make packing lighter and evenings easier.
Church groups and retreats. Room to gather downstairs and quiet corners to recharge upstairs.
Dollywood-first vacationers. Five miles to the gates means more coaster time and less car time.
GUEST ACCESS
You have the entire cabin to yourselves, all three levels, the decks, the hot tub, and the sauna. Arrival instructions with everything you need are sent after the quick pre-arrival steps are complete. For guests needing accessibility, an easy ramp leads to the main floor, and two wheelchair-friendly king suites on the main level include grab bars in the bathrooms. Resort pool access is seasonal: Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, seven days a week except Wednesdays.
PARKING
Parking is a breeze. A flat area in front of the cabin and along the side fits 6 to 8 vehicles, including trailers, so bring the whole caravan. No steep mountain driveway to negotiate, and no shuffling cars at midnight. During winter months a 4WD or AWD vehicle is recommended for the surrounding mountain roads.
HOUSE RULES AND GOOD-TO-KNOWS
Pre-Arrival (Quick and Secure): We use Happy Guest for the rental agreement, ID verification, and a $500 security hold, similar to a hotel check-in. Arrival instructions are sent after completion. Refunds aren't possible if these steps are skipped.
Mountain Wildlife: You are in the Smokies, so bears, ladybugs, and other locals may say hello. To keep wildlife safe and your stay enjoyable, all trash must go in the designated bear-proof bins.
Winter Travel: Mountain roads can turn snowy or icy. A vehicle with 4WD or AWD is recommended for your safety.
The mountains are calling, and Sweet Escape is waiting for you.
