Secluded Hillside Retreats in the Great Smoky Mountains Provide the Ultimate Romantic Getaway

Market Wire, January, 2003

Cuddler's View bears the markings of a mountain hideaway that defies civilization. Weddings, anniversaries and Valentine's Day are the perfect opportunities to indulge in an intimate cabin retreat. Once you enter the winding drive into a wooded area, you forget you're minutes from thriving Gatlinburg, and just a short drive away from Pigeon Forge, home of Dollywood, outlet malls and chi-chi bistros. In fact, once inside your cabin, you may never want to come out.

This one bedroom jewel, nestled amidst towering trees along a hillside of the Great Smoky Mountains and overlooking a spectacular panoramic mountain view, has all the makings of a Hollywood set. As you walk inside, you're immediately comforted by the fireplace filled with blazing logs, all the better to sip drinks by as you watch the leaves turn or the snow fall. Curl up on the couch as you watch the firelight dance on warm log walls. Wander past the satellite television set as you head to the kitchen to whip up frozen drinks with the aid of your ice maker and blender. Stick a roast in the modern oven, a pot of soup in the microwave, and your dinner will practically cook itself. There'll be no washing of dishes here as you toss it all into the dishwasher after a candlelight dinner in your secluded mountain cabin.

The North Star twinkles in the sky as you dip into the bedside two-person Jacuzzi and watch the moon paint the trees silver. Secluded and tranquil, the cares of the day melt away like bubbles in the hot tub. Wrapped in thick terry towels, you slip out of the Jacuzzi and into the hot tub and onto the deck to cool down in the fresh mountain air before bedtime.

You have visions of hiking tomorrow in the majestic mountains or on solitary forest paths along rushing streams and cascading waterfalls. She conjures images of antiquing in quaint shops and boutiques in nearby Gatlinburg. You think about taking the sky-lift chair up the mountain and viewing the surrounding beauty of Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, Wears Valley, Gatlinburg and Townsend. She looks forward to going to the Louise Mandrell show and attending Lee Greenwood's theater. You have to see the killer whale at the new Gatlinburg Aquarium. She wants to witness a wedding at one of the famous wedding chapels in Gatlinburg.

Oops. You feel guilty. "So what about the kids?" you ask. "Next time," she says as she squeezes her eyes shut and pinches herself, knowing that this is truly Cuddler's View.
