SPACIOUS FLAT YARD for pets & kids-PRIVATE COZY CABIN-Between Gburg & PF-Firepit


This is a pet-friendly property........ FOR YOUR PETS TO BE CONSIDERED, scroll down this page to the Pet Policy

HIBERNATION HIDEAWAY is a wonderful, relaxing log cabin that has had a makeover & is located in a peaceful wooded setting & has so much privacy all around. If rest & relaxation are as important as the convenience of being close to Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge, then take a closer look at this cabin! Conveniently located between Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg, just 3 miles off the Parkway, the main road that runs between the 2 towns. It has a gated wrap-around porch & a roomy yard for your pets & kids' safety.

The peaceful setting with plenty of trees for comfortable shade makes this the ideal location to easily access all the area events, restaurants, shopping & fun things to do. You will enjoy just a short 10-minute drive to either town, all on the main paved roads. Or, if just hibernating is what you like to do while vacationing, you will certainly enjoy the peacefulness & privacy of Hibernation Hideaway.

This wonderful log cabin is nestled in the mountains & located midway between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, and convenient to all the attractions of the Smoky Mountains area. All roads going there are good main roads.

The large gated wrap-around porch has a roof cover so you can enjoy the large wooden porch swing & rocking chairs & 4-person hot tub in any kind of weather. The private yard has a hammock, firepit, charcoal grill, large picnic table & kids' tree swing with open land all around. There are no cabins on either side of the Hibernation Hideaway for all the privacy you are looking for in a mountain cabin stay.

The wide-open spaces around the cabin are wonderful for privacy & a fun place to play games or just relax in the oversized hammock. The fire pit is for marshmallow toasting & outdoor hot dog grilling, or just relaxing. There are chairs & 2 wooden log benches surrounding the firepit.

Enjoy the cozy living room that has a stone fireplace with remote-operated logs that can be used year-round for heat or just for a romantic ambiance. There is a 50" TV, a DVD player & movie library, ceiling fan, comfortable couch, recliner & rocking chair.

The kitchen is well-equipped with all updated appliances, a range, a dishwasher, a microwave & refrigerator w/ icemaker. There is also a blender, toaster, slow-cooker, George Foreman grill, Keurig & regular coffee maker. An abundance of dishes & cookware makes it easy for eat-in-the-cabin meals for 6 people with a dining table with 4 chairs & 2 log-type bar stools at the kitchen bar.

The laundry closet with a full-size washer and dryer & is located on the main level.

The two bedrooms are located on different levels for privacy. The main-level bedroom has a queen memory foam bed, a large closet & a 32" TV, a DVD player, a ceiling fan & large closet. The main-level bath has a tub/shower.

The upstairs bedroom has a king memory foam bed & also a comfortable wooden trundle bed that will sleep 2 people separately, a jetted tub, a half bath with a closet, a 32" TV & ceiling fan.

There are no cabins on either side of the Hibernation Hideaway, just vacant land that offers privacy & can be enjoyed by pets & kids. A cabin across the road can be seen, so you will not feel isolated, but it does not affect the privacy of Hibernation Hideaway. The deck on the other cabin is on the backside of that cabin, so you will only see someone there when they are going to or from their vehicle.

The cabin was very cozy. We loved the outdoor space for our dogs and 2 year old daughter. The hot tub was very nice and relaxing in the cool evenings. We love the location as well and how close it was to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The host, Geri, was wonderful and very communicative with us on our stay and answering any questions we had. We will absolutely be back.

Great Spring Break Stay

We enjoyed staying at Hibernation Hideaway. The cabin was nice and the location was nice. It was quiet and we saw some bears in the neighborhood. The roads were not too bad which was a plus for me. The beds were comfortable and the hot tub was nice.

Great location

This cabin is perfect for a small family traveling with children or dogs! The yard and driveway are flat, and there is easy access to the cabin and closed in deck. The location is perfect and only a 15-30 minute drive to most attractions. We all slept well in the comfy beds and cool air conditioning.

About the host

Hosted by Geri

Host profile image
I live in Nashville TN and bought my first property called the Chocolate Moose in the Great Smoky Mountains in 2007. My Daddy would take the whole family there every year for a family vacation from the time when I was just a little kid. Mama would pack a picnic lunch & when we arrived at the Smoky Mountains, we would find a picnic area to eat. I thought that was the best thing ever!!

Over many years, I still have the same love for the Smoky Mountains just like I did when I was young. I had a dream way back then about the wonderful cabins that I saw setting way high up in the mountains & wondered how they looked inside & thought how much fun it would be to live in one.

I loved it all so much from the very beginning & kept that little kid's dream alive over the years of someday having in a mountain cabin & I feel so lucky that I now do. See all my cabins below:

Why they chose this property

My first attraction to this cabin was the wide-open vacant land all around this cabin & the privacy that it offered, yet it was so close to all the restaurants & fun activities in the area.

It was such a nice surprise to see an actual really flat driveway in the mountains & one that would accommodate several vehicles.

It is a true log cabin that needed some upgrading and re-decorating, but that is just what I was looking for as that is what I really like to do. So, after purchasing it, I set in to make it a very special warm, and cozy place to vacation. I enjoyed every minute of decorating & upgrading it.

The location is great, just 3 miles off the main road that runs between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg & all are main paved roads. The distance between Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg is only 5 miles & so it makes it possible to be in either city in just a few minutes.

My first cabin called the Chocolate Moose is in the same area, Sky Harbor, about a mile from Hibernation Hideaway., I think it is an ideal location as it is so close to everything, yet so very private.

What makes this property unique

The large front covered wrap-around porch has rocking chairs & a porch swing. I enjoy taking afternoon naps in that big over-sized swing when I am there & it is one of my favorite places to be because I can enjoy nature even when it is raining.

Around the backside of the covered wrap-around porch is a relaxing 4-person hot tub that is totally private. A gas grill. is also on the covered porch.

Out in the large flat yard is a big hammock that hangs between 2 shade trees, a kid's round swing & a charcoal grill. There are games to play outside, including an old-fashioned family traditional croquet set.

I really love to be able to drive right up to the cabin on the flat driveway as so many mountain cabins have such steep driveways.

This cozy log cabin is located right between Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg, just minutes from either town. It is only 3 miles off of the main road that runs between the 2 towns.
