Picture Perfect

If it’s stunning mountain views you want, Picture Perfect is for you. That’s not the only reason you’ll love staying here, however. The log cabin, which sleeps six people, is located in a resort that is just minutes from the area’s most popular attractions and has an outdoor swimming pool for use in the summer. What’s more, the cabin has amenities of its own, including a hot tub, a pool table and free Wi-Fi.

As soon as you arrive, you’ll see how Picture Perfect got its name. The cabin looks overlooks the Great Smoky Mountains, including Mount LeConte. The panoramic views from the two large balconies and the great room are breathtaking. Perhaps the best way to revel in the glorious scenery is while soaking in the upper deck’s hot tub. Luxuriate in the steamy bubbles, watch falcons and eagles soar above the mountains, listen to larks and thrushes sing in the sun-dappled trees. Relaxation is practically guaranteed.

Picture Perfect offers plenty of relaxation inside as well. The living area of the great room is open and bright, with gleaming wood-planked walls and floors, a sofa that invites you to stretch out and a recliner tailor-made for sinking into with a good book. In winter the stacked stone fireplace will make the space feel even cozier, whether you’re watching a movie on the large flat-screen TV or playing Uno with the kids.

Speaking of playing, wait till you see the upstairs game room. Making up most of the loft, it features both a pool table and a foosball game, a flat-screen TV and a pub table where you can play cards. The game room can also double as a bedroom, courtesy of the queen-size sofa bed. There are plenty of reasons you might want to sleep up here: not only is it pretty cool to have football in your bedroom, but the upstairs bathroom has a jetted tub as well. Its massaging waters will feel especially rejuvenating after a day of fishing, golfing, hiking, white-water rafting or shopping in the nearby outlet mall.

The second bathroom is on the main floor, along with the primary bedroom. Like the rest of Picture Perfect, the bedroom is devoted to rest and relaxation. The log-style furniture and beamed ceiling are cabin classics, but the king-size bed and the large flat-screen TV are worthy of a luxury hotel. If you have additional guests, the great room’s sofa, like that in the game room, opens into a bed for two.

The main floor includes a dining area with a full mountain view and a table that seats four guests. Even if you’re planning to dine in the many nearby restaurants, once you see Picture Perfect’s kitchen, you’re sure to want to eat at least a few meals in. From the stainless-steel appliances to the granite counters to the bounty of cookware and tableware, you’ll find everything you need. There’s a charcoal grill outside too, so you can enjoy a Smoky Mountain barbecue.

Picture Perfect is located in the Starr Crest Resort, which features a playground for the kids and, in the summer, an outdoor swimming pool and patio everyone will love. Likewise, everyone will love how close the resort is to the area attractions. Pigeon Forge Parkway, home to the Titanic Museum, Dixie Stampede, NASCAR SpeedPark, the Tanger Outlet Mall and more, is only 10 minutes away. Dollywood and Parrot Mountain and Gardens are just 15 minutes away, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is less than a half-hour by car.

Picture Perfect is a comfortable, convenient and welcoming home base for your Smoky Mountain vacation. So book your stay today… before someone else beats you to it!
