Shagbark Community

Shagbark amenities
that add even more to the stay.

The Smoky Reserve sits inside the gated Shagbark community, where guests can enjoy more than just the cabin — from a seasonal pool and courts to the playground, dog park and 24/7 security gate.

What guests can enjoy

A private mountain community with resort-style extras.

One of the things that makes staying at The Smoky Reserve special is that the cabin is tucked inside Shagbark — a gated community with amenities that give guests even more ways to relax, play and enjoy the mountains.

The pool is open seasonally from Memorial Day through Labor Day, typically from 9 AM to 9 PM. The community also includes pickleball and tennis courts, a basketball court, a park with a fitness trail and dog park, frisbee golf, cornhole, a playground, picnic pavilion and a rentable community center.

It all pairs especially well with the quieter setting of the cabin itself: you can have a full day of mountain fun, then come back to your own private deck, hot tub and wooded views.

Why it matters

Shagbark gives the cabin even more character.

The Smoky Reserve is not just a cabin in the mountains — it is part of a community known for privacy, wooded surroundings and easy access to both quiet moments and family-friendly amenities.

That balance is one of the reasons we loved the location. Guests can spend the morning by the pool, the afternoon out exploring, and the evening back at the cabin with the hot tub, fire table and the calmer rhythm that made us fall in love with the Smokies in the first place.

It is one more layer of the experience we hope people feel when they stay here: peaceful, comfortable and connected to the beauty of the mountains.
