Mountain Shadows Resort

Mountain Shadows Resort occupies a 65-acre paradise inside the city limits of Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park boundary is across the street, and all of our views highlight the park. Fifteen years ago, we took this tract of land and built roads and infrastructure. This land had been farmland that had not been touched f... or 95 years. One hundred- and 150-year-old trees were everywhere. Well, guess what? We kept these trees and put all of our city water and sewer lines, electric, phone and TV cables underground and beneath our roads. We kept every tree possible. We planted no grass, so that our resort is surrounded by the same natural beauty as it was when we got here. Not only have we saved as many trees as possible with the help of our Homeowner's Association, we have planted an additional 734 native trees and have plans for even more this year. What does this mean to you? It means even though our homes are close together, you keep the sense of being in the woods all by yourself. Our water is pure (treated from the National Park), our paved streets are protected by Gatlinburg Police and Fire departments, and if needed, our emergency medical techs are 2 minutes away.Read More
