About this property

Firepit! Destination Wedding, Christian Retreats, Family Reunion, Pickle Ball

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.

2023 Family Reunion

We had 17 family members stay in the perfect cabin in Pigeon Forge…a total of 35 members of my family in cabins near by from 8 states. Memories were made, and it was a fantastic stay! Hosts were truly professional and anticipated any needs we had, Highly Recommend!!!

The best time ever

My family and son in laws family came up to stay at the cabin. It was amazing. The Vieux was large enough for everyone to comfortably have space to hang out. There were so many games we could play since the weather was blistering and it’s only a few minutes from everywhere we wanted to go! This was definitely one of our favorite family vacations and we will never forget it.

Camp Counselor Reunion

This was the perfect spot for a friend reunion. We had 20 previous camp counselors get together and loved this cabin. Huge tables for us all to eat at, plenty of space for all of us to gather together, and also space to spread out. Spent mornings drinking coffee looking at the Mountain View and afternoons playing yard games. Kathryn is really responsive and wants to make sure all your needs are met. Highly recommend.

Fabulous place to hold an event

We held our wedding here at the Vieux and though there are a few places to hold it outside on the property, the Tennessee humidity limited our options. Kathryn was great, though, she informed us that we could rearrange anything to accommodate what we needed. A piece of traveling advice: Take Pine Mountain Road to Gibson Hollow Ln. This is the easiest route up the mountain and has the least amount of twists in the e road. Thank you, Kathryn for helping us make our vacation and wedding special!

Wedding at the Vieux

We had a small intimate wedding ceremony and reception for our oldest son and his beautiful wife this December and the lodge was a great venue. The hosts were very accommodating and communicative. The wedding ceremony was beautiful with the vaulted ceilings and the view on the deck created a fantastic background for pictures. Thank you Kathryn for a great experience.

money matters

We booked the cabin the cabin got sold and the new owners did not honor our reservation. They cancelled our reservation and between canceling and rebooking we feel like we may have been accidentally over charged. Other than that all 15 of our family loved it.

Best Birthday Celebration Ever!!!

I celebrated my 75th birthday at the Vieux. It was everything and more!!!! There were four generations of my family with me at the cabin. Kathryn, our host, was gracious and knowledgeable. The cabin was beautiful and had all the expected amenities: the jacuzzi (brand new, by the way) every cooking need you can possibly think of, but it also had things you might need for a small child. The games met all the age groups from toddler to adult. The host left us suggestions on where to eat and plenty of coupons to use for amusements and activities. Corn hole and s’mores rounded out our days We had a fantastic time. And, I had a birthday to remember! Thank you Kathryn

Cousin trip

My cousins and our families decided to rent a cabin for a weekend family trip. There were 4 families, a total of 15 of us. This cabin was beautiful, so spacious and well laid out. The tv’s had great choices for all age groups and the kids had many activities to do. The owner was respectful and replied to any questions promptly. We love this cabin and it’s location, and look forward to booking it again in the future.
