Living Room

Sink into the plush armchair to enjoy a glass of Smoky Mountain Winery’s finest selection while reading a book by the soft lighting of the carved black bear lamp or settle into the suede couch just before everyone picks teams for a hilarious game of charades. Share your favorite moments from Winterfest in Dollywood while a warm fire burns in the electric fireplace and snow drifts past the windows outside or reminisce on your most downtown adventures on a warm summer day.
Kitchen
Whether you want to whip up a delicious multi-course dinner or a quick little breakfast to get the group on their way, the charming, fully loaded kitchen provides everything you need. In the light wood cabinets, guests will find pots, pans, dishes, glasses and utensils for mouthwatering pancake breakfasts made with mix from The Old Mill, quick picnic lunches of sandwiches and fruit, or big pasta dishes to share around the dining room table.
The long counter provides space for meal prep, and after-dinner cleanups are made much easier with the modern luxury of the dishwasher! No need to search online for a coffee shop; sip on freshly brewed cups of coffee on the back deck after pouring a cup from the coffeemaker.
