Destiny's Heavenly View

With five en-suite primary bedrooms spread out among its three floors, Destiny’s Heavenly View is ideal for a multifamily vacation, several couples traveling together or a reunion of family and friends. Along with plenty of rooms offering privacy, it features large gathering spots, including two spacious decks and a game room complete with pool table and multi-game arcade.

Located midway up a hill, Destiny’s Heavenly View looks out over old-growth woodlands toward the Great Smoky Mountains and downtown Gatlinburg, you can even see the Space Needle from the decks. The cabin is just two miles from the parkway, home to restaurants, thrill rides, an aquarium, the Guinness World Records Museum and a tram that will lift you over the town to Ober Gatlinburg Ski Area and Amusement Park. It’s also just a short drive to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which you can explore on foot, by bike, on horseback or by car. Yet when you stay here you’ll feel blissfully removed from the hubbub.

The two covered decks, which span the width of Destiny’s Heavenly View, are furnished with plenty of rocking chairs so that you can kick back and revel in the crisp breeze, the singing of sparrows and chickadees, and of course, the sight of the mountains. The lower deck has a hot tub as well. Soaking among its bubbling waters beneath the star-studded night sky is nothing short of glorious.

If you prefer to soak indoors, you’ll be happy to know that three of the five bedrooms have their own jetted tub. No matter how weary your muscles are after a day of skiing, hiking or white-water rafting, a lazy bath will reinvigorate them and have you rarin’ to go again.

All five bedrooms are rejuvenating retreats. Each includes a king-size bed, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom. The two suites that make up the loft level are especially luxurious, with high cathedral ceilings and a wealth of floor space in addition to private jetted tubs.

The bedroom on the main floor has a jetted tub as well. While the two downstairs bedrooms lack that luxury, they’re still marvelously restful spaces, with log style furnishings, king-size beds and private bathrooms. One of these bedrooms includes a sleeper sofa perfect for little ones. If you need additional beds, one of the great room’s sofas converts to a queen-size bed. There’s even a sleeping nook in the downstairs game room, though if you bring Fido and Fluffy (Destiny’s Heavenly View is pet-friendly!), they might want to make that cozy space their quarters.

Along with the sleeping nook, the game room features a full-size pool table, a multi-game arcade and a flat-screen TV. There’s a wet bar too, so you don’t have to run upstairs for a drink and a snack while you’re in the middle of a close game.

The great room on the main floor has yet another flat-screen TV along with generously cushioned seating certain to make this a favorite gathering space. The stacked-stone fireplace adds to the inviting ambiance, especially on a chilly winter’s night.

The great room’s dining table seats 10 people, and the adjacent kitchen is equipped to feed a small crowd. Along with stainless-steel appliances (including a dishwasher), it includes plenty of pots, pans, gadgets, tableware and gleaming granite counter space. The cabin’s other amenities include free Wi-Fi, cable channels and a washer and dryer. Won’t it be great to return home from a vacation with clean clothing for a change?

When you stay at Destiny’s Heavenly View, you’ll feel as if you’re in a private paradise—and that’s a wonderful feeling! So book your stay today. We’re looking forward to seeing you.
