About this property

Central location between Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and The Great Smoky Mountains

COVID-19 Update: Extra cleaning, should provide a cleaner and safer environment for our guests.

We use a door code for entry into the cabin. About a week before your stay, we will send that code with directions. This eliminates the need for any in person contact before your stay.

We hope you enjoy staying in our very much loved cabin in the peaceful Smoky Mountains. We have all stainless steel appliances, 5-person hot tub and 3 decks to experience the serenity of the mountains, while staying in a real wood cabin. We aim to provide a comfortable stay for our guests as a base to travel into the Great Smoky Mountains and the surrounding activities in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.
Free Spirit is nestled almost perfect center between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge in a serene mountain setting. It is only minutes to all attractions and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

You will find that our cabin is unique and very spacious. It sleeps 5 people comfortably . 2 small children could fit on the loft futon, making it possible for 6 with children. 2 families with children, or one large family would also be comfortable in Free Spirit. This cabin has two master suites with full private bath/shower combination as well as a Jacuzzi in each bedroom. The open concept living room/kitchen/dining room make it a perfect place for family and friends to gather and the upstairs loft with pool table and TV is a great place for the kids (big and small) to hang out.

And who wants to stay indoors with the magnificent mountains at your doorstep.
Our 3 decks bring the indoors out so you can relax and have coffee on the upper deck from the bedroom or sit on the deck while grilling burgers and sharing laughs. On a clear night there is a wonderful view of the sky and stars in all their glory. Don’t forget to enjoy an evening in the hot tub under our covered deck all while feeling close to nature!

We have made available for your convenience maps and brochures of restaurants and area attractions such as Dollywood, Dolly Parton's Stampede, Ripley’s Aquarium, The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Cades Cove, Outlet Malls and The Gatlinburg Arts and the Crafts Community. There is also a Hiker's Guide to the Smoky Mountains in the cabin. It describes all trails in the Smokies in alphabetical order.

Free Spirit is located within 20 minutes of the Sugarlands Visitor's Center entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains. It is great for hikers looking for a little relaxation after a big hike in the Smokies.
Mounted on the laundry room door is a relief map of the Smokies showing many beautiful areas in the park. There is also a large framed relief map of a large part of the Southern Appalachian Mountains in the game room upstairs.
We can provide a list of local trails and directions to Cades Cove which is one of the most popular areas in the park to see wildlife and an unusual homesite cove in the heart of the park.
Roger has hiked every trail in the park and is a member of the 900 milers club. He is happy to answer any questions about the trails a potential hiker would want to know.

After that serious through hike in the park, return to the outside hot tub or the comfortable jacuzzi in your private bedroom.

With all the following amenities we are sure you will have a blessed time in these mountains and make lots of precious memories.

Great getaway
Cabin was clean and very comfortable. Perfect place to getaway and enjoy a relaxing vacation. Had to contact the owner prior to arriving due to an issue but was able to get in touch with the owner immediately and the issue was resolved in a matter of minutes. I would highly recommend staying and will definitely look to stay there again!

About the host

Hosted by Roger and Donna Shipley

Host profile image
God has blessed us with our lifelong dream of having a place of our own in the Great Smoky Mountains in order to enjoy His creation. Free Spirit Cabin is the perfect place to quiet your soul and free your spirit to experience all the beauty of nature and the serenity that these mountains provide. We are so happy to be able to share this peaceful place with you.

Why they chose this property

Free Spirit is located on the summit of a ridge line which has a unique quality of it's own. On the ridge, it is quiet most of the time. There is usually a breeze blowing through the trees in the forest surrounding the open deck. After a good rain, a waterfall down below will sound off to provide a tranquil departure from the usual quiet. At night the sky opens up from the deck for star gazing. And in the morning the birds call for meditating in quiet solitude. All this preparing you for a inspirational hike in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park just a short distance away.

What makes this property unique

The access to Free Spirit Cabin is only three steps up to the deck from the driveway.
The capacity of 5-6 people includes a king bed downstairs, queen bed upstairs, and futon in the loft. Each bedroom has it's own jacuzzi tub and full bathroom with shower/tub.
Sky Harbor is conveniently located between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge making both within just a few minutes drive. Dollywood is so close you can occasionally hear the train whistle from the locomotive. There is also a back way to Dollywood, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, the Arts and Crafts Community and a bypass to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park from Sky Harbor to avoid heavy traffic. Our laminated map shows how to get to both places and a few other shortcuts and bypasses around the area.
