About this property
Luxury Wellness Retreat - Gym, Cold Plunge, Sauna
Summary:
Experience a luxury wellness retreat designed for rejuvenation in the Smoky Mountains. Just minutes from Gatlinburg, this private mountainside escape features a full home gym, sauna, cold plunge, hot tub, custom fire pit, and a large playground. Surrounded by seasonal mountain views, it blends spa-level comfort with nature and fitness so you leave feeling restored, energized, and truly renewed.
The Space:
Tucked into the quiet mountainsides of the prestigious Cobbly Nob community, just 13 miles from Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, lies a retreat unlike any other in the region. This is not just a cabin. It is a place intentionally designed for rejuvenation, wellness, connection, and unforgettable memories—a luxury sanctuary where every space invites you to breathe deeper, move your body, unwind your mind, and return home feeling renewed.
As you arrive, the first thing you’ll notice is the sense of calm that settles over you. Sunlight filters through the trees, the mountains rise just beyond the treetops, and the quiet hum of nature replaces the noise of daily life. The home stands warm and welcoming, opening its doors to every kind of traveler—families, wellness seekers, couples, adventurers, or anyone ready to step into a space that nourishes them.
THE WELLNESS GYM — A TRAINING SANCTUARY
Downstairs, the doors open to a gym so impressive it feels like stepping into a private training facility. Rubber flooring cushions each step as the professional hex lighting illuminates the full REP rack, rows of dumbbells, and the array of elite machines—the SkiErg, Assault Bike, and the Concept2 rower waiting to be tested. The Bose speakers fill the room with whatever soundtrack fuels your workout, whether it’s soulful morning music or high-energy beats for a heart-pounding session.
You see yourself here: barbells clinking, breath steady, mountain air from the open door sweeping inside. After finishing your set, you take a moment before the floor-length mirrors—not in vanity, but in appreciation. You actually feel good on vacation. Strong. Alive. There is even a half bathroom tucked inside the gym so you never have to break the flow of your routine.
THE OUTDOOR SPA TERRACE — WHERE WELLNESS MEETS NATURE
Just outside, the home’s wellness story continues. This outdoor terrace becomes the heartbeat of your stay—the place where mornings, afternoons, and evenings unfold in pure mountain serenity.
Imagine stepping from the warmth of the infrared sauna into the crisp Smoky Mountain air, steam rising from your skin as you lower yourself into the cold plunge. Your body tingles, your mind clears, and for the first time in months, you feel completely awake. A few feet away, the hot tub bubbles beneath the open sky, ready for evening soaks as the sun dips behind the trees.
Nearby, the custom built fire pit is where the group gathers each night. Someone lights the flames, the kids begin collecting s’mores sticks, and the glow of the fire paints everyone’s faces in soft gold. The grill master of the group stands by the propane grill, tongs in hand, mixing family recipes with laughter and a cold beverage, the scent of dinner drifting through the trees as a playlist hums through a portable speaker. Sunlight sparkles on the leaves, and a gentle breeze carries the sounds of children playing on the massive playground—swings creaking, shoes hitting the rock wall, pure joy echoing across the yard.
It’s rare to find a home where adults can relax in full view of kids playing safely nearby. Here, it feels perfectly natural.
THE HEART OF THE HOME — KITCHEN, DINING & LIVING
Inside, the luxury kitchen feels like something from a modern mountain magazine—sleek countertops, warm cabinetry, and every utensil or appliance you could need for elaborate meals or simple breakfasts before heading into the National Park. Coffee brews as the early riser of the group tiptoes across the quiet kitchen, taking their mug out to the porch to watch the morning fog roll lazily across the trees.
The dining area invites long meals and deeper conversations. Even simple dinners feel special gathered around this table—soft lighting overhead, windows framing the forest around you, and the unmistakable hum of relaxation in the air. Steps away from the dining table is a luxury powder room to freshen up at any point during your stay.
The living room is the cozy heart of the home. The gas fireplace glows beneath the stone hearth, casting a warm ambiance as everyone lounges on plush furniture. Kids curl up with blankets to watch their favorite shows on the smart TV while adults sip wine or tea, legs curled under them, finally—finally—letting go of the stress they arrived with.
THE UPPER LEVEL — BEAUTIFUL BEDROOMS & LUXURY BATHS
The upstairs splits into two wings, each offering its own retreat.
On one side, the expansive master suite becomes a sanctuary of its own. The queen-over-queen bunks make it both fun and functional, perfect for families or groups wanting to stay close. The ensuite bathroom feels like a private spa—your eyes are immediately drawn to the soaking tub, where bubbles and warm water promise quiet moments after a full day of exploring. The walk-in shower gleams under soft lighting. And just beyond the bathroom doors, a private porch waits for you—quiet mornings with coffee, quiet evenings under the stars, all overlooking the trees and seasonal mountain views.
Down the hall, a king suite offers its own world of comfort with a luxurious bathroom and walk-in shower. On the opposite side of the home, two more king bedrooms provide serene sleeping spaces decorated with a sense of calm and modern mountain charm. These two rooms share a spacious hallway bathroom with a large walk-in shower, making it easy for everyone to get ready for mornings in town or nights out.
THE MAGIC OF THE SMOKIES — BEARS, BEAUTY & ADVENTURE
The Cobbly Nob area is famous for its peaceful nature and the gentle magic of black bears meandering through the community. From the deck or yard, you may catch sight of a mother bear and her cubs wandering through—always at a safe distance, always a breathtaking moment.
The community itself offers three beautiful pools, a basketball court, and two new pickleball courts. Leisurely walks through the neighborhood reveal stunning mountain vistas and fresh mountain air around every bend.
And all the wonders of the Smokies are just minutes away—Gatlinburg’s charm, the trails and waterfalls of the National Park, Bent Creek Golf Course at the neighborhood entrance, and the thrill of Dollywood only 21 miles away.
A WELLNESS RETREAT UNLIKE ANY OTHER
Every corner of this home, every moment it creates, is designed for one purpose: to help you leave better than you arrived. To feel healthier, more connected, more alive. To replace busy schedules with breath, distraction with presence, obligations with joy.

We enjoyed our stay. Check in/out was easy and the location/neighborhood was good. The house desperately needs a deep cleaning and some basic maintenance.
Stay overall was Good. Had some issues that were addressed by facilitators. My family had a wonderful time in the cabin. Tennessee is a beautiful state, with plenty to do, which made the stay a plus. Thank you for the accommodations.

Place needs cleaning and house needs to be updated.
If you come bring your own towels as the ones that are supplied are very inexpensive and not adequate.
Road to unit is very hilly use caution.
Great location and fun outside area if you have dogs
We will be back
Booked this house for a girls weekend, mainly for the outdoor space. We had one issue after another. The house was filthy, outdoor areas were not kept and there were weeds everywhere. The hot tub didn't work when we arrived and we wasted the entire first night and morning waiting for someone who was "supposed" to come fix it. Eventually the owner (not property manager) was able to get the issue resolved. The hot tub was also not filled above the jet level.
We had, what was supposed to be, a beautiful outdoor fire pit area. We had three propane tanks, all empty. They said they "believed" they filled them. Clearly all were empty and no one ever replaced/filled them. Linens were dirty (bed linens and towels). When we sent pictures of the linens to property manager they said they were not theirs, and that we brought them...Yet there were 4 matching blankets, in the location indicated on the "instructions" for the game room and fold out couch. It was one thing after another with no resolution.
The back door was broken, the microwave didn't spin, the refrigerator was broken inside, and the kitchen, toilets & showers were filthy. We were beyond disappointed, especially for the price we paid. Not AT ALL what we expected. Also found it odd the Manager communicated outside of the VRBO website/app regarding issues and accusations. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!
The house is perfect for a family, but definitely needs some updating and a deep clean. The broom falls apart and the vacuum doesn’t work. The master shower has black stuff growing on the door. I love the layout of the house, but they need a deep cleaning or let the renters know they need to plan a day to clean the floors and dog hair.
