Why Families Couples and Wedding Guests All Love This Smoky Mountain Stay

Aug 26, 2025

One of the best things about Laurel Valley Retreat is how easily it works for every kind of guest. Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a romantic escape, or a full wedding weekend, our quiet little retreat in Townsend, TN has something special for you.

Families

Love the space to spread out — with two cabins and a suite, everyone gets their own room, but you’re still just steps away from porch chats, shared meals, and firepit s’mores. There’s plenty of nature to explore, trails nearby, and kid-friendly fun like tubing or wildlife watching in Cades Cove.

Couples

Come here for the peace. It’s quiet, scenic, and perfect for a low-key getaway. You can hike, relax, enjoy a glass of wine by the fire, and truly disconnect from the noise of everyday life. It’s romantic without trying too hard.

And for Wedding Guests or Elopements

Laurel Valley Retreat feels like your own private mountain village. With a chapel onsite and the ability to book the entire place, couples love that they can host, celebrate, and stay — all in one beautiful setting. No rushing, no driving across town — just one unforgettable experience.

It’s rare to find a place that works just as well for a big celebration as it does for a quiet weekend away. That’s what makes this stay so special.
