Spurling Retreat by AvantStay | Sleeps 20 + Indoor Pool + Game Room | Near Pigeon Forge

Some trips are built around one big house and the people you want under its roof. Spurling Retreat is made for exactly that — a roomy, multi-level cabin in Wears Valley with space for up to twenty, tucked into a private, wooded corner of the Smokies where the loudest thing you'll hear is the group you brought with you. At roughly 4,800 square feet with six bedrooms, each with a private full bath, a house this full never feels crowded. Whatever the sky is doing outside, the private indoor pool keeps the fun going — a rare touch that turns a rainy afternoon or a chilly December visit into pool time anyway. The open floor plan pulls everyone together around a big, fully equipped kitchen dressed in blue cabinetry, an island with barstool seating for the inevitable crowd, and a dining table framed by tall windows that hand you a mountain view with every meal. When the group splinters into smaller camps, there's room for that too. The game room becomes the tournament venue for arcade games, air hockey, and basketball, while the expansive decks — with outdoor seating, a grill, and a hammock — give the quieter folks somewhere to catch the light coming down over the ridgeline. In-home laundry keeps a long stay easy. Wears Valley is the Smokies at their most unhurried, and it still puts everything within reach. A short drive down Wears Valley Road delivers you to Pigeon Forge and Dollywood, The Island, and The Old Mill; Gatlinburg's Anakeesta and Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies sit a little further on. For the outdoorsy contingent, Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the low-key town of Townsend open the door to hiking, tubing on the Little River, and the wildlife-rich Cades Cove loop. It's the kind of home base that makes a big group trip feel effortless — and worth repeating. AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs. For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we’re at your service! If you love spending time in nature, staying active, and celebrating wildlife, a trip to the Great Smoky Mountains is a must. Located along the Tennessee/North Carolina border and home to the country's most visited national park, the Smokies provide over 800 miles of hiking trails, rivers, and a good chance at a black bear sighting. The ancient mountains invite you to connect with one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world and walk among century-old trees. Talk about a step back in time!
