The House
It is located on “The Peaceful Side of the Smokies” in Townsend, TN. You can enjoy all the beauty the Great Smoky National park has to offer without having to deal with the hustle and bustle of a busy tourist town. This cute mountain home still has some of the style and touch from the original owners of almost 50 yrs, but with some significant recent updates for the style and comfort we all need to enjoy life in the 21st century. We, Jake and Annie, recently bought this little piece of Jake’s hometown as a place to escape our primary city life in the Washington, DC area and spend more time with our parents who live five minutes away. We spend a lot of time repairing, and upgrading the house to bring it up to the standards of comfort we all expect from a vacation home, while maintaining the cozy feel of living in the East TN mountains. We got new comfortable beds that we tested them out ourselves. We like to have a good night of sleep there.
What we love about the house:
The scenic drive from the gate to the house through the hills of the golf course.
Good walking routes with spectacular views of the Wild Valley Golf Course and the Great Smoky Mountains.
It’s in a super quiet dead end street with mostly year round retirees surrounding us.
The driveway can fit 3-4 cars.
Double decks front and back for both sunrise and sunset exposure.
Full morning sunrises over the mountains from the upper front porch once the leaves drop in late fall and winter months makes for the perfect morning coffee.
Views of the 14th hole of the Wild Valley Golf Course and the hills and mountains from the backyard allows for an entertaining and relaxing time as the golf carts drive by.
Grilling and dining on the upper back deck with tiki torches to help keep the TN mosquitos away can lead to a perfect night under the endless stars.
The covered porch swing on the lower back deck allows for a serene place for a couple to sit and watch a calming mountain shower try to break through the shaded backyard.
1st floor: Queen size master suite with an ensuite large bathroom, private entrance to the back deck, and cozy living room of new furniture and new smart TV.
2nd floor: Queen size 2nd bedroom that will bring back childhood memories for many guests, 2nd full bathroom, second living/sitting room that will make every golfer feel at home, a full size pullout bed, and a candlelit fireplace that won’t bring you warmth but will invoke that mountain home atmosphere. With open design kitchen and dining areas and ample natural light form the many windows this two bedroom two bath feels anything but cramped.
A few minute drive to the Wild Valley Golf Course clubhouse to enjoy the only full bar in Townsend, TN. The long wooden bar and outdoor balcony seating that overlooks the 18th hole and the mountains offers a great craft beer and whisky selection that is only beat by the views.
Being located in an active bear habitat means you can often see many wild animals around Laurel Valley but with just a few smart precautions not risk any danger to yourself or your loved ones.
