Welcome to Pine Needle, an AvantStay home!
This log cabin in the Great Smoky Mountains is a perfect getaway for you and your crew, thanks to its cozy atmosphere, upscale details, and ideal location. A picturesque mountain abode with warm woods and soft plaids, it is intimate but never cramped as high ceilings in the great room and an open floor plan gives your group plenty of space to hang out. Try your hand at pool in the game room, mix a drink from the bar, and perfect your aim with a round of darts. And after an exciting day hiking the national park, sink into the hot tub and admire stunning vistas from one of the double balconies. You deserve it.
AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team. Whether it’s fridge stocking or in-home massages, AvantStay offers a variety of upgrades & experiences to enhance your stay.

If you love spending time in nature, staying active, and celebrating wildlife like us, a trip to the Great Smoky Mountains is a special treat. Located along the Tennessee/North Carolina border and home to the country's most visited national park, the Smokies provide over 800 miles of hiking trails, rivers, waterfalls, and a good chance at a black bear sighting. Over 200 million years old, the ancient mountains allow visitors the unique opportunity to connect with one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world and walk among century-old trees. Talk about a step back in time!
