Welcome to Country Zen Villa — Your Peaceful Smokies Escape

Designed for multigenerational families, dog owners, and groups seeking comfort, space, and relaxation.

Located on the quiet side of the Smokies with easy roads and no steep cliffside driving.

Country Zen Villa is a peaceful and spacious 3-level mountain retreat designed for families, dogs, and groups who want room to spread out and enjoy the Smokies together.

Enjoy mountain views from a fully enclosed wraparound deck, let kids and dogs play freely in the fenced yard, and relax in the hot tub or around the fire pit after a day exploring the national park.

Inside, the home features a beautiful wood spiral staircase connecting all levels, a fully stocked kitchen, two gas fireplaces, a movie theater room, and a game room. Every detail is designed to make group travel easy, comfortable, and memorable.

The Mountain Villa was very clean, spacious, and well-equipped. All the little extras were amazing: the telescope for viewing the night sky, the reading nook, the workstation area, the fire pit, the hot tub, the basketball hoop, the pool table, washer/dryer, the dog crates, the fenced-in yard for our pup to run around in - we made use of everything!The host was VERY responsive to our requests and questions. Check-in and check-out was super easy. The beds are all memory foam and super comfortable. Water pressure was perfect for showers. We didn't use the additional kitchen in the basement but it would be very useful for those needing an extra cooking area. And our daughter loved the played above the queen bed in the basement! Our family had a wonderful New Year's stay and we would highly recommend this property to others looking for a great getaway to the Smokies, Dollywood, Gatlinburg, and Pigeon Forge.

Mira was very quick to respond to all my questions regarding my stay in the Cosby, TN area. The kitchen was wonderfully outfitted with anything you may need. I appreciated that she was so accommodating to children, and had the use of a pack and play, high chair, and stroller should they have been needed. All in all, it was a clean comfortable property.

A comfortable space for a family gathering

It's a unique space with the spiral staircase and the wrap around porch. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped. We enjoyed putting together some family meals. The bedroom bathroom combinations make for separate spaces for everyone. Lots of space to gather including the hot tub.

Host profile image
As a dedicated short-term rental owner/manager, my primary focus is to create exceptional experiences for my guests. With a passion for hospitality and a keen eye for detail, I strive to offer comfortable and well-appointed accommodations that feel like a home away from home.

Why they chose this property

Well simply because the exterior hides a gorgeous gem on the interior. The exquisite wood spiral staircase takes your breath away and the remainder of the woodwork throughout the villa is mindblower. And the views from the main floor of the villa and the deck are breathtaking. With so many rooms, bathrooms and living space you are sure to have a memorable experience for a lifetime.

What makes this property unique

Country Zen Villa blends modern comforts with timeless craftsmanship. The well-crafted wood spiral staircase being a focal point adds a touch of elegance and sophistication that i would like to share with my guests to enjoy as much as i do.
