LAYOUT AND AMENITIES: One of the most important design goals for this luxury cabin in Pigeon Forge was to make Resting Eagle a true resort-style escape—a vacation within itself. The open concept allows guests to enjoy each other and makes socializing easy. The home features five separate entertaining areas (three indoors, two outdoors), each equipped with TVs and plenty of seating. This design gives adults, teens, and young kids the freedom to spread out and enjoy their own separate spaces if desired. The kitchen a chef's dream, featuring gorgeous CAFÉ appliances and high-quality, luxury cooking essentials. A dedicated coffee bar caters to all tastes, offering fresh ground beans, Keurig cups, made to order espresso, flavored syrups, and a CAFÉ 10 cup coffee maker. The kitchen island's bar stools are perfect for a quick snack, while the separate bar area, with its luxury glassware and wine refrigerator, is ideal for evening drinks. The main living room offers a truly spectacular setting for mountain living. An oversized, see-through artisan fireplace, framed by gorgeous river rock and floor to ceiling windows, provides a cozy focal point. A Eurowall door enhances the open concept design by sliding flush into the wall when opened, creating a seamless indoor/outdoor space. It is an ideal spot for enjoying al fresco dining or allowing the cool mountain air to flow throughout the home. Step out onto the soaring, oversized, and covered back deck—a truly one-of-a-kind space! A dedicated grilling area includes a standard propane grill and a wood pellet smoker with digital thermostat, perfect for any BBQ enthusiast. The deck also features a double-sized, luxury hot tub, large enough to accommodate all your guests. The deck offers three separate dining areas. The first is a four-seat, high-top table adjacent to the hot tub, offering the very best views. A second round table is centered in front of the outdoor TV, making it the perfect spot for kids and sports fans alike. Finally, a large 10-person dining table sits in front of the outdoor, roaring fireplace creating a truly magical setting under the stars. The basement is a haven for fun and relaxation. It features a gorgeous, modern, zero entry, heated pool framed by floor to ceiling windows that overlook the Smoky Mountains. The pool also features deck jets, bubblers, and sunken barstools for taking in the views or socializing. The basement also offers a luxury ping pong table, a TV, ample seating, and a checkers/chess table.

BACKYARD/OUTDOOR SPACE: The backyard is designed for play and relaxation, offering a gorgeous modern pavilion with a cozy swing bed, plenty of seating, fans, dimmable lighting, and a TV. A stunning designer sunken boulder firepit with a dedicated sitting area accents the pavilion. This stunning vacation rental in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee also includes an artificial turf field for cornhole and yard games such as an oversized Jenga game and a professional, oversized red cup/pong game. DEER SANCTUARY: The unique, flat open area in the backyard, surrounded by brush and tree cover, creates the perfect area for a designated Deer Sanctuary. We have planted this area with clover and wildflowers as well as a salt block (a favorite for deer!) on the backside of the property to attract and support deer health in the area. LOCATION: The home is positioned wonderfully between Townsend, Pigeon Forge and Smoky Mountain National Park—three of the most stunning areas in all of Tennessee. Resting Eagle lies 8.7 miles (20 min) from Pigeon Forge, 15.6 miles (30 min) from Gatlinburg, 11.6 miles (20 min) from Townsend, 14 miles (30 min) from Sevierville, and 8.3 miles (15 min) to the entrance of Smoky Mountain National Park. Of Note**The Townsend Smokey Mountain National Park entrance is much less crowded than the Gatlinburg entrance and much closer to Cades Cove. ACCESS: Resting Eagle has enviable access. The easiest way to get to Resting Eagle is the main thoroughfare of Hwy 321 or Wears Valley Rd. Google maps will take you directly to the home. Along the way, you will have an incredibly scenic drive that offers mountain views, small streams, and horse pastures. The drive is flat the entire way until you arrive at Clabo Mountain. You will follow a modest incline (about a mile) up the mountain on freshly paved roads (2024) until you arrive at 3744 Clabo Mountain Lane. Great planning and infrastructure were incorporated to ensure no steep grades were present, providing better access for our senior guests and limiting safety concerns arising from inclement weather. The home has a gentle pull off into a circular driveway that allows guests to pull up directly to the front door, making unpacking luggage into the home a breeze. The driveway holds roughly four vehicles. PRIVACY: If you value privacy, serenity, and peacefulness, Resting Eagle is the vacation home you’ve been looking for. The home resides on a stunning, secluded mountain side (Clabo Mountain) that shares less than 20 homes on the entire mountain. This allows each oversized lot to have tree lined barriers and plenty of space between one another, limiting traffic, congestion, and neighbors. VIEWS: This luxury cabin in Pigeon Forge offers wonderful views from the rear of the home and deck. The views are quite diverse and include a close range mountain view to the left, rolling farmland on a hillside in center and long distance, and layered mountain views off the right side. NOTEWORTHY FEATURES: Tradition and authenticity were prioritized during the build. Unique, historical black and white framed photos of noteworthy people and places in the Smokies are found throughout the home. The materials and furnishings were sourced from around the world for a truly unique and genuine experience. A few of the noteworthy features include commercial grade Luxeview Windows, Curbless Showers, Shou Sugi Ban charred wood from Japan, black cedar roof shingles, artisan double sided fireplace from Minnesota, Murals from the Ukraine, authentic Poplar bark from North Carolina (entrance), Gotland Sheepskin Throws and pillows from England, authentic antique Skis from Switzerland, Exotic Cambria Quartz throughout, and many other exclusive features throughout.
