About
No neighbors. No noise. Just 5 private acres, panoramic Smoky Mountain sunsets, and the kind of silence you forgot existed. Trace of Heaven sits on a gated mountaintop estate with nothing between you and the horizon but fresh mountain air. This 3,000 sqft cabin sleeps 14 across three master suites, with a hot tub overlooking the range, a game room the kids won't leave, and two decks built for slow mornings and golden-hour evenings. Five miles to Pigeon Forge. A world away from everything else.

Other Details to Note
A few things that make this mountain home special: No checkout tasks - just make sure all fireplaces are off and doors and windows are closed. Please add any pet(s) staying at the property to your reservation so cleaners can prep accordingly. Smoke-free property - no smoking or vaping indoors or outdoors. See house rules for details. As a true mountain home surrounded by forest, the occasional outdoor visitor (ladybugs, harmless insects) may find their way inside, especially in fall. Regular pest control is maintained. The short mountain drive up to the cabin is part of the experience - you'll know you've truly escaped when you leave the main road behind. The paved road has a few steep curves (drive slowly and enjoy the scenery). Sedans, minivans, and SUVs all make it up regularly. AWD recommended in icy or snowy conditions. Decor and furnishings may vary slightly from photos as items are refreshed over time.
