Simple Elegance | Balcony, Theater + Game Room

A special getaway—a family union, a wedding party, a church-group gathering—deserves special lodgings. And Simple Elegance is indeed special. With six bedrooms spread among three floors, the log lodge can sleep 18 people in comfort and style. What’s more, its amenities include a hot tub, a pool table, a home theater and free access to an indoor pool year-round.

You’ll understand how fitting its name is as soon as you step into Simple Elegance’s great room on the main floor. Inviting plush seating complements the lustrous wood-planked floors, walls and vaulted ceiling. A double-height wall of windows looks out onto towering trees and the seemingly endless sky. In winter the fireplace will warm up the space while bathing it in a golden glow. In summer, the ceiling fan’s cool breeze makes a refreshing addition to, or a substitute for, the central air-conditioning. Whether you’re watching a movie on the flat-screen TV, surfing the web via the free Wi-Fi or catching up with friends, you’ll love spending time here.

The dining area can seat up to 18 people, no eating in shifts as in some cabins. The large table seats 10, while the smaller table alongside it accommodates six, and two people can sidle up to the adjacent breakfast bar. The spacious kitchen is more than up to the task of feeding a small crowd. It’s equipped with all your major appliances and plenty of minor ones—including a coffeemaker, a blender and a dishwasher, along with cookware, tableware and loads of counter space.

Downstairs you’ll find a home theater with cinema-style seating for 10 people and stools should you have an extra-large audience. The game room is down here too, with a full-size pool table, a multi-game arcade and a Golden Tee golf game, there’s something to entertain everyone in your group.

Three of Simple Elegance’s six bedrooms and two of its five full bathrooms are downstairs as well. One of the bedrooms will especially delight the kids in your group: it features queen-size bunk beds so that up to four people can sleep there. For kids, this will become slumber-party central! Like the other five bedrooms, this room has its own flat-screen TV with cable channels.

Simple Elegance’s other five bedrooms include king-size beds. Two of these bedrooms, along with two bathrooms, make up the top floor. The main floor’s bedroom is especially luxurious, with a jetted tub and doors that open directly onto a deck. Step outside for a nightcap in the moonlight, then unwind in the private tub before nestling under the covers of the sprawling bed—what bliss!

Speaking of bliss, wait until you surround yourself with nature’s glory while you sit on Simple Elegance’s huge covered decks. There are plenty of rockers so that you can kick back with a beverage and book while the mountain breeze rustles through the trees and birds try to out-sing one another. You can dine alfresco at the picnic table, and perhaps best of all, you can luxuriate in the deck’s hot tub. Especially after a day on the go, a soak among the steamy bubbles is a truly pampering treat.

Simple Elegance is located in the Hidden Springs Resort, which has at least two huge advantages. For starters, the resort has an indoor swimming pool, which you can use year-round. For another, it’s just a little more than a mile from Dollywood—you can drive there in less than five minutes. The prime location is also less than 10 minutes from Pigeon Forge Parkway, home to the Titanic Museum, dinner theaters, go karting, shops, mini golf, restaurants and more.

Perhaps the best thing about Simple Elegance, though, is that it’s spacious enough to enable you to spend time with friends and family—and isn’t that what the best getaways are all about? So make your reservation today. We’re looking forward to seeing you!
