Getting to The Estate at Sweetwater Creek
A Luxury Smoky Mountain Estate in the East Tennessee foothills, about ten miles from the North Carolina line — under an hour from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, and a short drive from Knoxville and Asheville.
Where the Estate Sits
The Estate at Sweetwater Creek sits on 70 private acres in the East Tennessee foothills, with 360° views of the Smoky Mountains. It is about ten miles from the North Carolina state line, which puts Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, two regional airports and the Tri-Cities all within a comfortable drive.
Couples from 40 states and 8 countries have celebrated here, with guests traveling from all 50. However far they come, the estate is theirs when they arrive: one day, one wedding.
