When you stay at The Vieux, you will experience the feeling of being secluded from Pigeon Forge and everything while, in reality, you’re only 6 minutes away. The Vieux is our most secluded cabin. Once you put up your groceries, you won’t even need to leave the property that the cabin is on – and some of our guests don’t. Surrounded by The Great Smoky Mountains and The National Parks, there are breathtaking views everywhere you look. This 6 bedroom, 5 bathroom cabin with 2 living rooms and a large game room sleeps up to 20 guests with a hide a bed in the main floor living room.
The Vieux is perfect for your next trip to the Smokies. Relax on the front balcony in the morning with your coffee while listening to the birds and enjoying the serenity of the mountain view before you. At night, be mesmerized by the gorgeous sunset over the mountains while enjoying a glass of wine and then watch the twinkling lights come out below (especially during the Fall and Winter months). The Coffee Bar has a Keurig, coffee pot, electric kettle and everything you need for the perfect cup of coffee or tea. The Vieux is located on our property called The Mustard Seed Venue (TMS) and has many amenities to keep you busy during your stay. If you have other family and friends who want to join you, this is the perfect location since TMS consists of 8 cabins that are all in walking distance of each other, but not on top of each other, 12 acres that you can walk around and multiple amenities to help provide you with a wonderful, relaxing, fun-filled stay.
Our property is perfect for a Christian Retreat, Family Reunion, Destination Wedding (contact Kathryn for Wedding packages and information) or any other kind of retreat. We can sleep up to 66 guests overall on the property. We look forward to hosting you. The Vieux is also our main wedding venue reception area and Brides & Grooms also have gotten married inside in front of the floor to ceiling stone fireplace or outside in one of the wedding locations.
