Cozy Cub Retreat – Modern Mountain Luxury With Room To Play

Tucked in a peaceful Smoky Mountain resort, Cozy Cub Retreat feels polished, calm, and quietly luxurious. Think clean modern lines, warm wood, soft lighting, and just enough playful energy to make it feel like a true getaway—whether you’re planning a romantic escape or a fun trip with family and friends.

Cabin highlights

* Sleeps up to 6
* One king en-suite bedroom with private bathtub
* One additional king bedroom (sleeps 4)
* Living room sleeper sofa (sleeps 2)
* Electric fireplaces in all bedrooms; gas fireplace in living room (seasonal)
* High chair, pack ’n’ play, kids’ dinnerware and utensils

Coffee + kitchen

* Full coffee bar with flavored Keurig pods, fresh ground coffee, dual coffee/K-Cup maker, French press, electric kettle, flavored syrups and teas
* Fully equipped kitchen with cookware, dishware, utensils
* Rice cooker, toaster oven, blender, wine glasses and grilling tools

From the first cup of coffee in your hands to a simple dinner plated on cool granite, the kitchen and dining area are designed to feel effortless, elegant, and easy to use.

Game loft + indoor fun

* Game room with pool table, shuffleboard and three arcade systems (classic, Marvel and golf)
* Four cable TVs across the living room, bedrooms and game room
* High-speed 150+ Mbps Wi-Fi inside, plus separate resort Wi-Fi outside

The upstairs game loft has the energy of a private lounge: the soft thud of shuffleboard pucks, the click of pool balls, arcade screens glowing in the background. It’s an easy place to lose track of time.

Outdoor relaxation

* Private hot tub on a covered deck
* Cabana-style lounge seating just steps from the tub
* Free parking for 2 cars

Step out to the back deck and you’ll feel the shift immediately: quieter air, the warmth of the hot tub, cushions that invite you to stay a little longer. On cool evenings, it’s the perfect place to share a drink, unwind sore muscles and watch the sky fade.

Resort amenities

* Pickleball, tennis and basketball courts
* Year-round fitness center
* Propane BBQ grills (year-round) and bonfire pits (seasonal)
* Saltwater pool with grotto-style waterfall (Memorial Day–Labor Day)

Indoor comforts

* Central heating and air conditioning
* Smart keyless entry with a personal code
* Washer and dryer in the cabin

What to expect
Cozy Cub Retreat is a modern cabin with a designer feel: cathedral ceilings, a frosted white fireplace, a statement chandelier over the dining area and bedrooms that feel like private suites. The primary forest-inspired king room is especially atmospheric at night, with layered lighting and a soft, tucked-away mood that suits both early nights and slow mornings.

Every space has been put together to balance style and ease—enough personality to feel special, but not so busy that you can’t relax. Movie by the fire, a lingering bath, a game upstairs, a drink on the deck, kids playing while adults unwind—everything flows naturally.

It’s an easy place to arrive, settle in and actually enjoy the time you took off.

Neil’s cabin was perfect for our stay. We enjoyed the coziness of it. It was beautifully decorated and was well equipped in the kitchen(I would take oil, foil, etc..). The bed was comfortable and the twinkle lights in the master bedroom were a whimsical touch. We were greeted with cute Christmas decor, then adding the flaming fireplace in the evening made us feel right at home. The travel time to Gatlinburg is approximately 15 minutes, and 30 minutes to the outlets in Pigeon Forge. A few downsides.. there isn’t a mountain view here, or at least we didn’t see one during our cloudy trip, and the back side of the cabin is lined with other cabins so it wasn’t as private as I’d hoped, but there are privacy curtains. The cabin resort area with pool(covered for winter) and fire pit was deserted. The resort itself is very nice but I think I expected a little more in that area as shown in the photos as far as the fire pit. Neil was communicative when contacted, which I appreciate even though he lives across the country. All in all the cabin was great for our stay and very clean. I would definitely recommend!

Spring Break Getaway

We spent spring break here and had a wonderful time. The cabin was so much fun and had plenty to keep us busy on a rainy day. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to cook a meal plus some extras (spices, oils etc). It was in a nice calm quiet area and a short drive from the downtown area. Check in couldn’t be easier. Neil was great with communicating. Would definitely return. Thanks Neil!

Fabulous Weekend!

We arrived late on Thursday night and there were lights on to welcome us in! What a special touch to not have to be fumbling in the dark to get in. That was only the start of us falling in love with the Cozy Cub! The kitchen was stocked beyond any we've ever stayed in. From spices and oils to coffee and K-cups, even a crock pot, it was all we needed! The beds were so comfortable and we slept soundly every night. The walk in showers with a body jet worked out the day's fatigue from all the shopping and eating we did. :) There were huge TVs to watch football on and a wonderful fireplace to make game day super cozy. Neil was a dream to work with as he stayed in contact closely through the whole process. We will definitely be booking again and hope to bring even more family to stay in the resort!
