Welcome to The Artful Craftsman, a Smoky Mountain hideaway where rustic charm meets sophisticated comfort. Whether you're here for outdoor adventures or serene escapes, The Artful Craftsman has everything your group needs for an unforgettable mountain experience.
Tucked in Downtown 1414, this retreat offers not only proximity to the awe-inspiring Great Smoky Mountains National Park but also easy access to Gatlinburg's lively downtown, bustling with shops, eateries, and attractions like Ripley's Aquarium and the Gatlinburg SkyLift Park. It's also located within the Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Community, an 8-mile loop featuring over 100 artists and craftsmen, including eateries, bed & breakfasts, and more.
The heart of the home is its breathtaking outdoor space, designed to let you immerse yourself in the surrounding natural beauty. Picture yourself soaking in the hot tub under the gazebo, taking in the cool mountain air as the stars begin to dot the sky. Gather around the firepit for cozy storytelling sessions or relax in the shaded seating areas, perfect for a morning coffee or evening cocktail. And right by the entrance, a tranquil pond adds an extra touch of nature, setting the tone for a peaceful stay.
Inside, the inviting living room features vaulted ceilings, comfortable seating, and a TV for movie nights. Gather in the dining area for a shared meal, or pull up a barstool at the fully equipped kitchen outfitted with all the appliances and amenities you need for effortless cooking.
With five thoughtfully designed bedrooms plus four full bathrooms, there's plenty of space for everyone to unwind and recharge after days filled with exploration.
