This was our second year back to TN. This time was for our 1 year wedding anniversary. The rd to the cabin in very rough and I'm sure we need new brakes now. We didn't have any cell service inside the cabin itself.. which is both a positive and negative. The cabin was very cozy and we loved that it was pet friendly. Although, a water softener would be a good investment for the cabin. Well water is very strong. Very affordable and owners gave great advice and directions! Thanks again!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with young children, pet owners.

We LOVED our stay at Hunker Down! Our children loved it too! It was so nice to be out of the city & away from the "resort" cabins but still close enough to enjoy all that Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg have to offer. This cabin offers so many amenities & extras that most others do not & that made our stay so much more enjoyable. Everything was exactly as described. We are looking forward to staying here again in the future.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children, pet owners.
Owner response: Hi Jennifer! Wonderful to hear about your vacation. Thank you so much for your kind words on Hunker Down. We try to provide the amenities while still keeping it affordable for families. I was hoping to get there in time to meet you but we got a late start. Hope to hear from you soon. Regards, Mary and Mason Pace

Thanks Marian and Mason for making your Smoky Mountain cabin available on VRBO! Deb and I had a great time staying at the cabin. What a beautiful setting, well landscaped, quite and private. We easily found the cabin just a short distance from Pigeon Forge. It is so neat and clean with everything you need for a carefree vacation! We really loved spending time on the wrap around porch with its swing and hot tub. It was just right for us and we would recommend Hunker Down to anyone looking for the perfect Pigeon Forge experience!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners.
Owner response: Dean and Deb. We are so happy that you had a great vacation and found our little hideaway enjoyable and relaxing! That is our goal. We hope to hear back from you soon! Regards, Mary and Mason

When we first arrived at the Hunker Down cabin we were thrilled at how everything was exactly as it appeared in the listing and then some. You will have EVERYTHING you need, especially in the kitchen, it is stocked with everything you could possibly need. We rarely left the cabin, we didn't need to. All of the decor is charming and the cabin is perfect for relaxing. Mary was so helpful and went above and beyond for anything we needed. We are already planning a trip back in the next couple of years, hopefully we will make it back soon, missing it already! The stay couldn't have been any better, it was perfect.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners.

Cathy, John and Hollywags Mary and Mason! We relaxed, kicked back and hunkered down! We appreciated all of your homey and cozy touches. We felt right at home. We stayed relatively close. John has a knack for finding secluded and serene setting in nature & we believe we explored some of the most beautiful spots in The Great Smoky Mtns. Thank you again for opening your home to us. Warm regards.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Paul, Betsy & Angel *paw print* We thoroughly enjoyed out stay in your cozy cabin. It was the perfect “jumping off point” for some may fun adventures – lots of exploring, fly fishing, hiking in SMNP, the 8-mile arts & crafts loop, trips to the Apple Barn and a show at the Dixie Stampede! It was also the effect place to come back to in the evening & enjoy the deck, hot tub, Wii and Netflix! We hope to be able to come back this way again someday!Did you find this review helpful?

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2005
About the owner: My dream was to own a cabin in the Great Smoky Mountains. I have been visiting GSM since late 60's. My husband and I purchased the cabin and love visiting Hunker Down.
Why the Owner Chose Pigeon Forge:
We love the location and close to everything. We purchased this cabin because the property had room to enjoy as it is not on top of another cabin. Another plus was it is not hanging over a cliff. The yard is large and plenty of room for the kids to play. The street has five cabins on it but each property is over 1/2 acre and we own up the back of the mountain. There are no cabins directly in front.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin:
We love to sit on the porch at the pub table and relax. We enjoy both the summer and winter view of the mountain, the quietness of the area and relaxing.
