Welcome to Brown Family Retreats!
Our goal is to provide a clean and sanitary space for your family to enjoy the beauty of the Smoky Mountains away from the crowds.
We know that every cabin looks amazing online, but check all of the reviews before you make your decision. We believe that our cabin is superior to the others in quality, cleanliness, amenities and pricing. We, the owners, oversee every detail and routinely stay at Forget Me Knot to ensure that real life is better than the pictures we have posted on VRBO. We are constantly in communication with our guests and staff to ensure that all expectations are met. We have been told by seasoned Smoky Mountain travelers that Forget Me Knot has exceeded their expectations and is hands down the best cabin that they've experienced.
"Forget me Knot" is a stunning cabin that comfortably sleeps up to 10 people and is located in the prestigious Preserve Resort Community just minutes away from The Great Smoky Mountain National Park. The Preserve Resort has a higher elevation and is closer to Cade's Cove than any other Smoky Mountain Resort. There is no other resort that has this combination of luxury, resort amenities, and spectacular Smoky Mountain views. You will be engulfed in the peaceful mystique of Wears Valley while witnessing the splendor of neighboring Pigeon Forge, Townsend, Sevierville, and Gatlinburg.
The cabin is carefully appointed with everything you'll need for an unforgettable vacation. You will be greeted by a wall of windows with unobstructed panoramic views and soaring ceilings that will simply take your breath away. This cabin does not overlook other cabins, it overlooks the picturesque mountainside. All amenities of the resort are included in your booking!
There are three levels to this cabin, including a loft and a game room with a Brunswick air hockey table, foosball, 2 arcade systems, and a large selection of games.
"Forget Me Knot" is wifi enabled (equipped with the fastest available blast internet speed) with multiple flat screen TV's. Enjoy access via Roku to your personal favorite apps such as Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus, ESPN, Amazon Prime, and HBO Max (you must have a paid subscription to access these apps). You can even have a family movie night with the large selection of DVD's and premier sound system.
The layout of this home is best for families. There are 2 master suites with en suite bathrooms (1 king-size bed and 1 queen-size bed) and the loft has 2 spacious queen-size log beds. The game room sofa also converts into a sleeper bed, if needed. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a 12 cup coffee maker, and a Keurig coffee maker. Attention to detail was considered to ensure that every guest is comfortable and left wanting for "nothing."
You are just minutes to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, and to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park (ONLY 7 MILES AWAY), but far enough to enjoy the serene and peaceful setting of the mountains. Be close to major attractions while avoiding the traffic of the strip. You will feel as though you are sitting on top of the world as you sip your coffee from the deck, soak in the over-sized private hot tub overlooking Cades Cove mountains or relax in the rocking chairs while gazing at the breathtaking mountain scenery.
Location:
Our cabin is about 10 minutes from the back door entrance to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. In fact, you can see Cades Cove from the living room and back deck. We are a few miles off Wears Valley Road which is far enough away from the crowds but close to all of the amenities and entertainment that Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Townsend have to offer. You are close to many outdoor activities; horseback riding, zip line, river tubing, fly fishing, hiking, amusement parks, mountain coasters, and bike paths in Townsend as well as Cades Cove. The many shopping opportunities of Pigeon Forge are a 15-20 minute drive away. You can also visit the Titanic Museum, Wonderworks, Aquarium, Dollywood or Dollywood Splash Country. In the winter months, ski down the slopes of Ober Gatlinburg.
