Cajun Spice

With 2,000 beautifully furnished square feet, Cajun Spice offers plenty of room for as many as six guests to unwind between visits to Dollywood, downtown Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The home’s outdoor spaces are even more glorious than its interior.

Inside or out, however, you’ll be able to relish spectacular views of the mountains, the woodlands and the seemingly endless sky. Bring your breakfast out to the deck’s dining set and watch the morning mist rise from the Smokies. Snuggle on the deck swing with your sweetheart late at night in the silvery moonlight as owls hoot in the woods.

And any time, day or night is ideal for luxuriating in the deck’s hot tub. Stairs from the deck lead down to another patio area, as well as farther down to the creek that burbles along the lush property.

As serene and beautiful as Cajun Spice’s outdoor areas are, you do have to head indoors sometime. But even while you kick back in the great room, you’ll almost feel as if you’re outdoors, thanks to the oversized windows. Furnished with a plush sofa, armchairs and a pair of sumptuous recliners, the room allows everyone to comfortably watch TV or surf the web via the free Wi-Fi. On chilly winter evenings, the gas fireplace will make the room even more inviting. The great room includes a dining table that seats six, along with a breakfast bar that seats four. Cajun Spice’s kitchen will definitely have you eager to get cooking. Equipped with stainless steel appliances, a full array of cookware and tableware and plenty of counter space, this sunny open area is large enough to accommodate several chefs—and like the rest of the great room, it allows you to gaze out at the mountains as you go about your business. What’s more, you can cook outdoors on the home’s charcoal grill. Mmm, barbecue!

One of Cajun Spice’s bedrooms is just off the great room, and like the great room, it opens directly onto the deck. If you sleep here, you can be the first one into the hot tub in the morning! The bedroom itself includes a queen-size bed and a wall-mounted TV. So does the upstairs bedroom, which also boasts a delightful reading nook for two, a wood-planked cathedral ceiling and huge windows that provide you with a bird’s-eye view of the surrounding trees.

The loft includes a third sleeping area as well. Like the two bedrooms, this features a queen-size bed and a ceiling fan to help lull you to sleep on evenings when it’s not quite warm enough for the air-conditioning. As a bonus, the loft has a foosball table, perfect for after-dinner entertainment.

Cajun Spice has a bathroom on each floor. The main floor’s bathroom features a combination shower/tub, while the upstairs en-suite has a shower. We’ll provide all the clean towels you could possibly need, and of course, the beds will be beautifully made up, with extra bedding at the ready, when you arrive. Other conveniences include a washer and a dryer, so you can pack lighter than usual.

Located in Gatlinburg’s desirable Cobbly Nob community, Cajun Spice is less than 10 minutes from Bent Creek Golf Course, designed by Grand Slam champion Gary Player. Just a few miles farther is the Great Smoky Arts and Crafts Community, an eight-mile trail of shops, galleries and studios. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is only 20 minutes away, and just a few minutes further is downtown Gatlinburg, whose attractions include Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies, the Guinness World Records Adventure and Sweet Fanny Adams Theatre.

No matter how you spend your days, you’ll love returning to the laid-back comforts of Cajun Spice. Book your stay today and get ready for a getaway you’ll long remember.
