CABIN LOCATION:
This lovely log cabin is located down Walden's Creek Road, on the Wears Valley side of Pigeon Forge, situated in the mountainous woodlands. When you're ready to leave your cabin retreat, you can enjoy all that the area has to offer, whether it be hitting the main Parkway in Pigeon Forge (25 minutes) or exploring the Great Smoky Mountain National Park or Gatlinburg (40 minutes).
Guest access You get the whole house. Parking is in front of the cabin and fits up to 3 vehicles. Other things to note
All guests must be 21+ with the exception of children with their parents. Maximum of 8 people, including children.
No parties.
No smoking or vaping inside the cabin. Ashtrays are provided outside.
Pets are not allowed. We love our furry friends, but out of consideration for those with allergies, we do not allow pets. If you sneak in a pet of any kind, you will be charged an additional $175 and may be asked to leave.
There is a floodlight camera on the front exterior to monitor the entryway and parking area. If you touch or tamper with the camera, you will be asked to leave the property immediately.
We highly advise that you purchase traveler's or trip insurance to protect your purchase in the event of poor weather, illness, or other factors outside our control that would cause you to cancel after booking. Many credit cards offer this protection as well.
The cabin comes stocked with dishes, glasses, utensils, cookware, linens, and bathroom towels. We provide a starter kit of items to help make your check-in easier. These items are a courtesy to you; if you are particular about the items you use, be sure to bring or purchase whatever you need to your liking. Our starter kit includes: A pack of coffee with creamer, 1 paper towel, Dish soap, Dishwasher detergent, Laundry detergent, Trash bags, 2 toilet paper rolls per bathroom, Body wash, Body lotion, and Shampoo and conditioner.
Roku streaming is provided, which includes free channels. Bring your own passwords for subscription channels.
The cabin is in a mountainous region; therefore, some roads may be considered steep. We have no issues with a two-wheel-drive vehicle under normal dry conditions, but a four-wheel-drive vehicle is advisable under adverse conditions. We do not issue refunds for weather or driving issues as this is beyond our control.
The cabin is in the woods. You will likely see and hear critters. The roof is metal, and there is no attic. If a squirrel crawls on the roof, you will hear it. If it’s raining, you will hear it. If you see a bear during your stay, whether in the park or in the driveway, do not feed it. Stay away from it. They are dangerous. Bears are rare!
We have our cabin on a monthly pest control program performed by a certified and professional pest control company. As is the case with all cabins in the area and likely your own home, 100% pest-free is impossible to attain, and occasionally a bug may slip through these defenses.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Wonderful cabin, had everything we needed. The view off the back deck was simply amazing! We had a bear visit while we were unpacking our cars. Thank you Kevin for sharing your beautiful cabin with us!!
The cabin is well equipped. The furnishings are very comfortable. Decor is lovely. The views are gorgeous. The host is quick to respond and personable. The road to the cabin is tricky. Just take your time and is quite doable with a regular vehicle. Location is great.

It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, Stan! You're welcome back anytime!
The host was great and it is a very beautiful cabin. The arcade game, pool table, and air hockey table gives kids (and adults) plenty to do during downtime. I’d recommend.

This location strikes the perfect balance: beautifully secluded to offer tranquility and privacy, yet just a short drive from Pigeon Forge's exciting hiking trails and vibrant dining scene.

It was a pleasure hosting you, Philip! I'm glad you enjoyed everything the cabin and the area has to offer!
This home was a lovely space. We enjoyed the mountain views and number of bedrooms with attached baths. Great space for couples and families. We also loved being close enough to hike at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP). The trails are beautiful this time of year. Got to watch some storms off the deck and a baby bear got separated from mom and cried until she came just off the front porch. Lots of bear tracks in the yard under the lower level deck. The hot, Kevin, was responsive and reassuring when a brief power outage (less than 4 hours) occurred and only added to the natural beauty of the place. Make sure to eat at the Old Mill in Pigeon Forge and check out the GSMNP there is nothing that compares to it east of the Mississippi. The drive up is not for the faint of heart, but that is consistent with any mountain view. Well worth the trip! Highly recommend.

About the host
Hosted by Kevin K.
Hi there future guest! I'm Kevin, and I look forward to you booking your vacation at our beautiful cabin. I live in Colorado Springs, Colorado but before that, I was in the US Air Force where I got to serve our great nation, travel the world, and live in Japan and Germany. I was born and raised in the Central Valley California town of Hanford surrounded by cows & agriculture. My favorite thing to do is make memories on vacation with my wife and kids, and our cabin is a great place to do just that.
Why they chose this property
The Pigeon Forge area of the Great Smoky Mountains is where the best of two worlds collide. Where else can you enjoy the beauty and majesty of the mountains while also being able to enjoy family-friendly amusement parks, dinner shows, restaurants, shopping, and don't forget about the moonshine tasting.
When you aren't exploring the mountains or having fun with local entertainment, you'll get to enjoy our family-friendly cabin where you get to create your own memories, take in the amazing views, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and relax.

The gated Shagbark Resort community amenities come free to you with a seasonal outdoor pool, tennis, pickleball, basketball courts, frisbee golf, playground, fitness trail, picknick pavilon, and a community center (available for you to rent).
