Trollhaugen—Enjoy Spring and Summer in the Great Smoky Mountains

'Ahhh…' guests exhale upon returning to Trollhaugen after strolling the sidewalks of Gatlinburg, taking-in the excitement in Pigeon Forge, or shopping the outlet malls in Sevierville. Enjoy the serenity and quietly wonderful views of Mt. LeConte and the woods while relaxing in the deck rockers, deck and patio chaise lounges, or the private hot tub. It's a welcome counterpoint to the day's activities. Twilight approaches, and the softly romantic light from under the railing invites grilling and dining on the deck. The truly sharp eyed might even spy a troll in the woods just as dusk turns to darkness!

Romance in the air? Trollhaugen has hosted a number of weddings on the deck, with the woods and mountains as the backdrop, and it makes a wonderful honeymoon chalet.

Having a bedroom, bathroom, and sitting area on each level, Trollhaugen allows for the occasional sense of solitude and a chance to read or just relax.
