At the end of your day of traveling, you can settle into the peace and quiet of Sunset Meadows ! Located in scenic Wears Valley, we are away from the glitz and glamor of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, but still close enough to enjoy all it has to offer. We are a short 10 minute drive to the National Park and just 20 minutes to beautiful Cades Cove. Our property is one of the few cabins that has over 1/2 of an acre of open backyard play space that is perfect for families. You will be in close proximity to all the Great Smoky Mountains has to offer.
If your looking for some fun you can be in Gatlinburg in just 20 minutes where you can go and spend the day at Ripleys Aquarium or even go to the top of the mountain and hang out at Anakeesta. Pigeon Forge is just 15 minutes away where you can ride the coasters at Dollywood or enjoy the many stage shows they have to offer. Don't forget to get a funnel cake or her famous cinnamon bread and top off the evening with a fireworks and drone show. The next day you can cool off at Splash Country and end the day at Dixie Stampede's or one of the many other wonderful dinner shows in the area.
If your looking for a more quiet day, you are just a short drive to so many beautiful hikes we have here. In Cades Cove, you can hike to Abrahams Falls (moderate), Laurel Falls is just down the road, or if you are looking for a little more history, head over to the Walker Sisters home or go over to Elkmont Ghost Town. Elkmont was know as Millionaires Row where the wealthy families, in the early 1900's, vacationed. There you will find miles of hiking along with original homes to explore.
If you want to stay closer to the cabin, you will have complimentary access to Honeysuckles Pool and Deli where the kids can swim in their pool and dad can fish in their pond. Metcalf bottoms is just a hop, skip and a jump away and offers pavilions, grills and restrooms right next to the Little River where everyone can cool off in the shallow waters.
If you plan on staying in for the day, we have plenty to offer for entertainment. You will find a relaxing firepit to enjoy while we also have yard games for those who have energy to play. You can pick from corn hole, yard darts, or ladder ball along with plenty of indoor games, as well. We have an ice cream maker available(rock salt included), so make sure to bring the ingredients along for some homemade ice cream. Your group will love sitting in the rockers on the porch enjoying the mountain view while eating their favorite flavor.
What is very unique about staying at Sunset Meadows is we offer an outdoor theater. Get the fire pit going., make up some smores and gather up and enjoy watching either DVD/BluRay or stream movies under the stars.
We look forward to having you stay at Sunset Meadows in beautiful Wears Valley. Hope to see you soon !
