Perfect Mountain Cabin with HOT TUB and Dog Friendly!

Step back to a simpler time at The Pioneer, a rustic Appalachin cabin inspired by the early settlers of Appalachia—built for those who appreciate quiet, character, and a slower pace of life.

This is not a large or luxury cabin. The Pioneer is intentionally small, rustic, and reminiscent of early homesteads, offering an authentic experience you won’t find in modern builds. It comfortably sleeps up to 5 guests, making it ideal for small families, couples, or a few close friends looking to unplug and reconnect.

Inside, you’ll find warm wood interiors, a cozy and practical layout, and the kind of atmosphere that invites you to slow down. It’s the kind of place where mornings start easy, evenings last longer, and no one’s in a rush.

Set on 8.5 wooded acres, The Pioneer offers a peaceful retreat while still being part of a small, tucked-away cabin village. You’ll have your own private space, along with access to shared fire pits, open gathering areas, and a quiet sense of community that feels natural—not crowded.

Whether you’re exploring nearby trails, heading out toward the Ocoee River, or simply enjoying the stillness of the woods, this is a place to settle in and stay awhile.

Sleeping Arrangements (Sleeps 5):
• Bedroom (main floor) – Queen bed
• Sleeping Loft – Full bed + Twin bed

Inside, warm wood interiors create a cozy mountain atmosphere. The living area features a sofa and recliner, perfect for relaxing after a day of adventure. Stream your favorites on Roku TV, watch a DVD, and stay comfortable year-round with a fireplace for chilly evenings and AC for warm summer days.

The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals, with dining space for four. The full bathroom is stocked with towels, soaps, and body wash for your convenience.

Step outside to your covered porch and unwind in the private hot tub. Rocking chairs make the perfect spot for morning coffee, and just outside the door you’ll find a gas grill ready for outdoor meals.

Included Shared Amenities:
✔ Access to The Lodge (Pool Table, Ping-Pong, Jukebox-Style Music System, Beautiful Teak Bar)
✔ Fire Rings & Firewood available
✔ Adirondack Chairs & Picnic Tables
✔ Large Gas BBQ Grill
✔ Horseshoe Pit
✔ Stocked Fishing Pond (bring your own poles and bait)

Ask about combining all cabins and glamping tents for a group event whether it be a mountain wedding, family reunion, adult birthday celebration or a spiritual/wellness retreat.

And of course, you’ll likely meet “Rona,” our friendly Welcome Dog who guests absolutely adore.

Come experience the charm, comfort, and mountain adventure of Copperhill — and book a getaway your family will remember for years to come.
