Meet Heather, the host behind these woods

A handful of quiet cabins with private hot tubs, run by Heather and co-host Hanna. You get a name and a fast reply, not a call center.

How this started

A few cabins, run by hand

I'm Heather, and Laurel Valley is small on purpose. My co-host Hanna and I keep just a handful of cabins so we can answer fast, check in mid-stay, and keep each one clean and exactly as described. A hundred cabins kept almost right isn't the point. A few kept right is.

The little things

Seasonal touches guests notice

Guests still text me about the Christmas decor. I love that. It's the kind of thing you only do when you're hosting a few places yourself instead of running a front desk. A quick reply, a warm porch, a private hot tub waiting at the end of the day.

The quiet side

Woods first, town still close

These cabins sit tucked away from the chaos, deep in the trees where it stays quiet and peaceful. Far enough for real privacy, still minutes from Sevierville, Gatlinburg, and Cades Cove when you want a day out. Your Smoky Mountain adventure begins right at your doorstep.

The way Heather and Hanna run things comes down to a few plain promises. Hold us to every one.

Private Hot Tub Standard

Yours to soak in at the end of the day. Never an add-on or upsell.

Beds Made for Sleeping

Comfortable beds in every cabin so you actually rest between mountain days.

Bring the Dog

Easy-going, pet-friendly cabins so your dog comes along for the woods too.
