About this property

Gatlinburg | Swimming Pool | King Beds | Pickleball | Hot Tub | Smoky Mountains

Welcome to Cozy Cub Retreat— a modern Gatlinburg Smoky Mountain hideaway that feels polished, calm, and quietly luxurious. It’s the kind of place where you arrive, exhale, and immediately feel the pace change: soft lighting, warm wood, clean modern lines, and just enough playful energy to make it feel like a true getaway for couples, families, and close friends.

Mornings start easy here. The coffee bar becomes a little ritual — flavored pods, fresh ground coffee, syrups and teas — the kind of setup that makes you linger in slippers a little longer. The kitchen is fully stocked and effortless to use, whether you’re making pancakes before heading out or keeping it simple with snacks and wine when you get back.

Upstairs, the game loft shifts the mood into fun: pool, shuffleboard, and arcade glow that makes “just one game” turn into an hour. Then when you’re ready to unwind, step out to the covered deck, sink into the private hot tub, and let the evening slow down under the mountain air.

But what makes Cozy Cub unforgettable is the forest-fairytale primary suite— a romantic, green-drenched escape that feels like something out of a storybook. Twinkle lights shimmer through hanging greenery above the bed, the room glows warm against the wood ceiling, and the whole space feels tucked away and intimate. The soaking tub sits right there in the suite, ready for a long soak with candlelight vibes, a playlist, and nowhere else to be. It’s a room made for anniversaries, proposals, “we needed this” weekends… and the best sleep you’ve had in a while.

Cozy Cub is tucked inside a peaceful Smoky Mountain resort in Gatlinburg, so you get the privacy of your own cabin plus extra ways to play: pickleball, tennis, basketball, a year-round fitness center, seasonal bonfires, and a summer saltwater pool with a grotto-style waterfall. And when you want the Parkway, restaurants, and attractions, you’re close enough to enjoy it — then retreat back to your own calm, cozy space.

Ready to claim your dates? Book Cozy Cub Retreat now and give yourself a stay that feels romantic, fun, and genuinely restorative — the kind you’ll want to repeat every year.

Conveniently Located Near Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville & the National Park

One of the best things about staying at Cozy Cub is how easy it is to get here and get around once you arrive. The cabin sits right off Highway 321, which means no steep mountain climbs, no scary drop-offs, and no winding back roads — just a smooth, simple drive that guests truly appreciate, especially at night or during winter weather. It’s the kind of location that lets you relax from the moment your trip begins.

From the cabin, you’re only about 10 to 15 minutes to downtown Gatlinburg and the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, where you can explore scenic drives, waterfalls, wildlife viewing, and some of the most beautiful hiking trails in the Smokies. Spend the day strolling the shops, visiting Anakeesta or the Gatlinburg SkyLift Park, then return to the quiet comfort of your cabin when you’re ready to unwind.

If you’re heading toward Pigeon Forge, you’re roughly 15 to 20 minutes from the Parkway, putting you close to top attractions like Dollywood, The Island in Pigeon Forge, dinner shows, mini golf, and family entertainment. You’re also conveniently located near Sevierville and the popular Gatlinburg Arts and Crafts Community, making it easy to explore local shops, galleries, and mountain culture without long drives.

When it comes to dining, you’ll have plenty of great options nearby. Enjoy a memorable dinner at well-known favorites like The Greenbrier Restaurant, The Peddler Steakhouse, or Cherokee Grill, or keep it casual with local staples like Local Goat, The Old Mill Restaurant, and the many restaurants along the Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge Parkway. Whether you’re planning outdoor adventures, family fun, or a relaxing getaway, Cozy Cub puts you right in the middle of everything that makes the Smoky Mountains such a beloved destination. Reach out to us if you have any questions - closer to you arrival date we will provide you information for food and attractions.

Probably one of the best locations and stays I have had in years. The cabin was fabulous, plenty of towels, beds very comfortable as were the pillows. The cabin was well stocked and had all the necessities plus some. I just wish the weather would have allowed us to use the pool and court.

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!
