We respect our guests' privacy and offer a seamless self-check-in process. While we will not be present during your stay, we are always available and happy to assist with any questions or needs via the messaging app. Our goal is to ensure you have a wonderful and uninterrupted mountain escape.

Guests will have private access to the entire cabin and its amenities. Enjoy complete privacy with our seamless self-check-in process. A unique door code will be sent to you shortly before your check-in time on the day of your arrival, so there's no need to meet anyone for keys. You have access to the private deck, hot tub, and all interior spaces.

* CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT: We are unable to accommodate early check-ins or late check-outs. A fee of $50 will be charged for the first 30 minutes a guest fails to vacate after 10:00 AM, and $100 for each subsequent 30-minute period.
* SEASONAL FIREPLACE: The gas fireplace is operational during the colder months, from October 15th through March 15th. It is non-operational during the warm season.
* STARTER SUPPLIES: We provide a starter set of coffee pods, paper towels, toilet paper, and soaps. Guests are responsible for purchasing any additional supplies needed for the duration of their stay.
* CONNECTIVITY: Cell service can be spotty in the mountains. The cabin's high-speed Wi-Fi works great for all your streaming and browsing needs.
* WILDLIFE & NATURE: Please remember you are in the woods. You will likely see and hear critters. The cabin has a metal roof without an attic, so you will hear squirrels scampering or the soothing sound of rain. If you see a bear, do not feed it and keep a safe distance. They are wild animals and can be dangerous.
* PROFESSIONAL CLEANING: Our professional cleaners follow Airbnb’s five-step enhanced cleaning process, sanitizing all high-touch surfaces and referring to detailed checklists to ensure every room is thoroughly cleaned for your safety and comfort.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The host was welcoming and explained everything about the cabin before I arrived. The cabin is spacious, has all the amenities you need for a week long stay, and is very nicely decorated on the inside. As an extra convenience, every streaming service I tried to use was already signed in.

The cabin was perfect for the two of us! It was very nice and clean! It was convenient to have the washer and dryer because we got caught in the rain a couple of times. We loved the pool table for some added fun!

We had the opportunity to stay at this BEAUTIFUL home on a much needed vacation. The home just perfect for two, the host very responsive when traveling a distance and seeing if an earlier check in was avail, and he replied ASAP. We trailered our motor cycle down from PA and had pleanty of room to store the trailer, bike and SUV in the driveway. This was our second time in TN and definitely had the best of R&R along w/ traveling beautiful Smokey Mountain roads and then just being a "tourist" while there.

About the host

Hosted by Scott

Host profile image
Welcome! We are a couple from New York with a 9 year old boy and a 3 year old girl and decided to purchase a cabin in the Smoky Mountains after one fun filled visit. Both of us love to travel and do so often. My wife and I are both college graduates, her being a school teacher and myself a firefighter in NYC. We love being outdoors, skiing, hiking, rafting and much more but also love a good movie and time to relax and enjoy. It makes us happy to be able to share our home with you as it's a great joy for us and we are confident you'll love it!

Why they chose this property

My wife and I fell in love with this cabin when we first saw it. Quiet yet close to it all. great design and layout. Cabin has it all!

What makes this property unique

What’s available for kids and parents to do together in Gatlinburg? A brief walk of the Parkway offers more opportunities for family fun than you can complete in a day. Within a short walk, you’ll find a world-class aquarium, mini golf and mountain coasters, museums and arcades, and countless other attractions for kids and adults alike, right on the Parkway. Or you can fly over the trees in gondolas, chairlifts and aerial tram cars to discover mountain top family adventures.
Also check out Gatlinburg's wealth of arts and crafts, and its many artists and craftspeople, with one of the largest communities of independent artisans in the country. Nowhere is this more visible than along the Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Community Trail, an 8-mile scenic drive on the outskirts of Gatlinburg that contains a host of studios and shops.

4-Wheel drive may be needed during winter months depending on your driving ability.
