Mountain Laurel Rest, was recently built in 2011 through a joint family effort. Initially, the house was meant to be a summer get away home to escape the scorching city summers. The onsite managers, Dave and Janis Morgan, fell in love with the breath taking beauty of the Smoky Mountains, the water falls, the friendly people and the rest ful and relaxing environment. The Inn features 7 extravagant rooms. Each room is spacious, with over 700 square feet and features king size beds, sofas, gas log fireplace, steam showers, private balconies, Wifi, views and more.
The dedication to creating the perfect destination shines through all corners of the house. From the comfortable yet luxurious room decor to the beautiful front courtyard, the quiet majestic back yard, to the delicious food and drink offered throughout the day. The architectural style of the house is gracefully traditional and is nestled in the forest to create a haven to fully relish the beautiful surroundings. The setting is forested with mature poplar, maple, oak, rhododendron and mountain laurel.
