Gatlinburg

Fifteen-foot glass walls and a private ridgeline site turn this three-bedroom cabin into an uninterrupted frame on the Smokies.

Our Story

Perched on a private Smoky-Mountain ridgeline, Vayhaus Gatlinburg fuses striking modern architecture with awe-inspiring wilderness. Soaring 15-foot glass walls frame uninterrupted views of America's most-visited national park, trading the rustic log-cabin vernacular for panoramic horizons and starlit skies. Designed by Mike and Raquel Ayres, this three-bedroom, three-bath structure pairs clean lines and curated furnishings with a courtyard hot tub, gas fireplace, and living green wall. Minutes from downtown yet wrapped in forest quiet, the site delivers on both fronts — design-forward architecture and unfiltered nature.

Elevated Amenities

Fifteen-foot windows, a chef-ready kitchen, and spa-inspired baths blur the line between refined interior finishes and raw landscape. The courtyard opens to a hot tub beneath the stars, a living green wall, and an outdoor TV nook. Beyond the structure, a ridgeline trail reveals dawn light over Mt. Le Conte, while the nearby SkyBridge and Anakeesta treetop walk sit just down the road. It's design as site response — elevated, considered, unforgettable. Courtyard living, floor-to-ceiling glass, gas fireplace, chef’s kitchen, outdoor TV, fast Wi-Fi, and keyless entry—everything you need to unwind or work remote in style.
