Host was very nice and kept up with area weather since wintry conditions were possible. Cabin had everything necessary for a comfortable stay. I thought the moose decor was fun. There are a lot of stairs up to front door if that is an issue for someone.
The host checked in before our arrival. When we walked in we instantly smelt how clean the property was. There was a detailed binder for everything we needed. Everything kitchen wise we needed was available. Location was great. Private. Host was very kind through the entire trip checking in! Highly recommend. Perfect for a couple!
My husband and two dogs had a wonderful time. This was our first time at the Chocolate Moose and it was perfect. So comfortable! The dogs loved the porches and long walks. Geri was great! Definitely worth going back!
We had a great time at this cabin, it was beautiful inside and out, had everything needed, great jacuzzi, close to everything we even got to see a bear break into someones car and eat a snickers, no lie. Make sure to lock your car doors, It was the best vacation. Def recommend
The drive to the cabin is a bit precarious at times but it's worth it. We saw a black bear the second day of our stay. This is the way to stay when you visit Gatlinburg.
Our Chocolate Moose cabin was just what my wife and I needed. It was so nicely decorated, the bed was so comfortable and perfect, for us. The owner was more than accommodating and gave us so many ideas for places to go and see. Thank you Ms. Geri🤩 We will definitely be coming back
Being right the the middle of pigeon forge and gatlinburg made very easy for travel, cabin was big enough for me,my wife and dog to stay comfortable, all in all a really good stay
First of all, I have nothing but good things to say about Geri. She was very responsive. The cabin was cozy and quiet. King bed was great, very comfortable. The furniture in the living area was too large for the area and illogically placed which caused poor flow for serving meals. "Safe Dog Walking" threw us off, since we are ones who enjoy walking and expected to do so. But, the roadway was too steep for us to walk as planned and there was no area around the cabin for walking. Although overall the cabin was okay, it just was not the one for us due to the location.

I feel I must step in here after reading Sharon Ann's remark, "Safe Dog Walking threw us off." I can't imagine why anyone would be thrown off with multiple pictures of the terrain & the roads & by my listing description that states: Chocolate Moose is located midway between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, nestled in the mountains & only 2 miles off the main road that runs between Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg, making the cabin convenient to all the attractions of this Smoky Mountains area. This wonderful cabin is tucked back in the woods on a quiet dead-end road and off of another dead-end road. It offers plenty of privacy and relaxation, with no thru-traffic, making it the perfect place for safe dog walking. Only three other cabins on this road allow a sense of security that you are not alone in the woods. So, I would think it only logical for someone to assume the roads are not perfectly flat such as city dog-park walking trails since this charming cabin is located in the mountains! Many of my guests have expressed that this cabin provides the perfect peaceful safe walking & dog roaming venture in the mountains with their dogs & without the fear of passing traffic.
I have owned this property for 18 years, it was my very first Smoky Mountain cabin, I love it so much & I am so proud of it. In all of those years, I have never had a guest complain about the arrangement & size of MY furniture. I have worked very hard to have this beautiful mountain cabin & since it is MY cabin, i believe I am entitled to furnish it anyway I see fit. So, I am "thrown off" by Sharon Ann's remark that the "placement & size of MY furniture caused poor flow for serving meals." But, I guess there's a first time for everything! LOL The kitchen, living & dining area is one big cozy open room & the furniture has been selected & arranged to mainly accommodate the best viewing of the TV, since people spend more time relaxing & watching TV on their vacations than their time serving meals.... that was MY logical thinking. Vacation mountain cabins are just that....a place where people go to get away from the demanding hustle & bustle of their busy everyday lives, to just relax in the peacefulness of of nature and the Chocolate Moose is certainly all that & much more..... I have learned over the many years of owning vacation homes what guests want & the top priority for folks is NOT the perfect flow of serving meals as in one's personal home. Just saying!
Very relaxing stay, close to all the attractions, about a 15 drive to Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg! Loved the swing on the front porch and the big king size bed! Definitely need a four-wheel drive as it is in the mountains. Our jeep did a great job! Would definitely recommend!

Found the cabin not to be very well maintained. Furniture needs replacement cob webs ,dust & no vacuum to use. You have to be in very good physical shape to walk your dog as there is very steep inclines .
As a child, I can remember all the good times that we had when my Daddy would take us to the Smoky Mountains every year. I always had the dream that one day I would love to own a log cabin there and I would make it a 'very special warm & cozy home-away-from-home' and that is what I have done with the Chocolate Moose.
I have always loved animals & they have always been a big part of my life, so I also wanted to make a special place that guests could come with their favorite furry doggy friends like I do when I go there. My favorite traveling buddies, Dusty & Bruiser love going to our special 'home-away-from-home often & hope everyone enjoys it as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
Before buying this cabin, I searched & searched for the perfect location & one w/ a yard, driveway & close to the main 'drag' (Hwy 441) aka Parkway. So many that I viewed had only a small parking space, just barely large enough to get a car off the road & many were located way far out, in difficult locations, or too far from all the fun & activities.
I was looking for a cabin that was convenient to both Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge. The Chocolate Moose is located right between Pigeon Forge & Gburg, only 2 miles off the main 'drag' (Hwy 441) aka Parkway.
It is on a short dead-end road with 3 other cabins & off of another dead-end road where there is no thru traffic, a great place to walk dogs. It is tucked away in the woods & offers so much privacy.
It was exactly what I was looking for & with a name like 'CHOCOLATE MOOSE' how could I not fall in love. This was my first cabin purchase. I have decorated it over the past years with moose, moose & more moose & I think that it is just simply the 'cutest and coziest cabin' in the Smokys.
I know you will love Chocolate Moose & make many wonderful memories & will not soon forget it after your visit. Since Chocolate Moose, I realized that this is my passion & have purchased other properties, see them all below:

What makes this property unique
The CHOCOLATE MOOSE has an easy-to-get-to location between Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg. It is located on a short dead-end road with 3 other cabins, giving you the comfort of not being alone in the woods, it is off of another dead-end road where there is no thru traffic, a great place to walk dogs. It is tucked away in the woods & offers so much privacy & allows for a very, quiet & peaceful place to stay. All roads are main roads & paved, just 2 miles off of the Spur (road from Pigeon Forge & Gburg)
The large PRIVATE covered deck off the bedroom has a 4-person hot tub & table & chairs. It also has a covered front porch with rocking chairs, porch swing & breakfast table & chairs that are perfect for morning coffee & fresh mountain air before starting your day. Charcoal grill in the yard.
There is a loft game room with a pool table & electronic dartboard, toys & games & a full bed. The downstairs bedroom has a large jetted whirlpool tub & a king log canopy bed. The bathroom has 2 doors, 1 opening into the master bedroom & the other opening into the kitchen/living areas for maximum convenience. The bath has a shower/tub combination.
