The Forgotten Forest
Kodak
The Forgotten Forest in Kodak, Tennessee, is a magical neighborhood of fantasy-themed rentals near the Smoky Mountains. Standout accommodations include turf-roof Hobbit hole cottages, stone castle stays, and Harry Potter-inspired retreats like Hagrid's hut and The Nightly Bus—a London double-decker bus featuring themed bedrooms and a replica Ford Anglia. The immersive grounds are adorned with storybook landmarks, mythical dragons, stone circles, and outdoor amenities like hot tubs and fire pits.
Commenters are overwhelmingly enthusiastic about the magical and creative designs, making it a dream destination for Harry Potter fans, families, and special occasions like anniversaries. While demand for booking information is high, a few guests noted minor drawbacks such as low ceiling heights on the bus for taller individuals and the location's distance from major towns.
