Discover the beauty of Wears Valley, a hidden gem near Pigeon Forge and just minutes from the “secret” entrance to Smoky Mountain National Park. This peaceful valley is known for its charming local shops, artisan woodcarvers, lively markets, and some of the best food trucks and eateries in the Smokies.
Set on over an acre of open meadow, Moonlit Meadows Cottage is designed with families in mind — a spacious three-bedroom, three-bath retreat where everyone can relax, play, and reconnect. With all bedrooms conveniently located on the main level, it’s perfect for multigenerational stays. Children will love the game room and outdoor space, while adults unwind in the private swim spa under the stars.
Whether you’re roasting marshmallows by the fire pit, soaking in the spa, sharing meals on the deck, or exploring the mountains just minutes away, this cabin blends convenience with privacy, creating the ideal backdrop for your Smoky Mountain getaway.
Here, laughter carries across the meadow, nights sparkle under the moonlight, and memories are made to last a lifetime.
