Breathtaking Sunrises in the Smokies :: A Cabin for Families near Cades Cove

With a stunning view of the Chimney Tops, Mount LeConte and all the glory of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Sky Haven Lodge overlooks Laurel Valley from atop the foothills of the Smokies.

After a restful night's sleep on one of 5 beds (spread through 3 bedrooms and common spaces), wake up each morning and enjoy coffee on one of 3 decks with views for miles (no, literally -- like, 13+ miles!) and air so fresh your lungs will thank you.

From there, take your time making plans for the day in your spacious 2,700 square foot getaway. With two common areas, a large dining area, game room and a gigantic loft, there's space for everyone to kick back and have fun.

Enjoy breakfast (or lunch or dinner!) in our 10-seat dining area or outside on the screened-in porch.

What to do? Oh, the list is endless! Stay close with a tee time at Wild Laurel Golf course or head over to the clubhouse pool and get refreshed. Just around the corner are numerous outdoor adventures for the entire family, including: Hiking, rock-climbing, tubing, kayaking, fishing and more! If you'd prefer to take it easy, there are several scenic drives nearby, and beautiful Townsend with its local shops, crafts and restaurants is less than 8 minutes away.

Of course, you're also just minutes from Cades Cove, the Tuckaleechee Caverns, and Clingman's Dome, with the Island at Pigeon Forge and Dollywood/Splash Country both just 40 minutes away.

When your day is wrapping up, enjoy the fire in the sky at sunset. If it's cold, cozy up next to your gas fireplace with a cup of hot cocoa. And as the night gets dark, head up to the top deck for unparalleled stargazing.

An exterior security camera monitors the parking area, giving you extra peace of mind. While smart thermostats provide maximum comfort and smart locks so you'll never have to keep track of a set of keys!

Sky Haven Lodge is here for you to get rejuvenated and make memories to last a lifetime.
It would be our delight to host you.

We enjoyed our stay and loved the outdoor decks and curated entertainment items/toys! We also appreciated how clean the property was upon arrival.

Nice Cabin - Everything we needed

This was probably one of the nicest interior cabins that we have stayed at! There are no TV’s in the bedrooms, just living rooms, but that was honestly very nice! The adults nor children resorted to rooms and watching tv and we all spent time together as a family! This cabin had everything we needed! Beds were super comfy!

Mountain Views

We had a great time visiting the mountains. We were visiting the area to celebrate our son’s graduation from UTK, but did not want to stay in Knoxville.This was a perfect location for us.Simple 30 minute drive to the airport and about a 45 minute drive to campus.We hiked, we golfed, we ate great food at Dancing Bear Bistro, we enjoyed coffee on the porches in the morning and we even saw a bear right on the property!! The home had everything we needed and more!
