The description of the property is on point. The views were beautiful. You were able to see the sunset and rise. The only negative was how you can hear every step above or below. You really need to be on the same sleep pattern as everyone in your group.

Oh Snap, My Back!
The cabin, amenities, view, location, check in & out process, were all WONDERFUL. The reason for the 4 star review instead of 5 is something I find to be VERY important in a rental... sleeping comfortably. The bedrooms look cozy and were clean. The linens were nice & clean. However the comfort of those mattresses were awful. "Oh Snap, My Back is what 3 of the 4 bedroom occupants woke up saying every morning. After a long day hiking or Dollywood, you look forward to laying your head down and sleeping comfortably. The mattresses didn't provide comfort and for the nightly price charged, I would hope this is an improvement the owners will invest in.

Family Vacation 2023
We're finnaly getting the kids back together for family vacations since they've now settled into careers. This is our first cabin rental, the instructions for arrival and departure are easy to follow. When Yvette was away Kim provided support, the communication was great and flawless. Mighty Sunset has a great view of the valley. The location is remote but has easy access to local shops, Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg/Cades Cove are a nice scenic 20-30 minutes away. Cabin was clean and everything we needed was provided, even baby playpen and booster seat. We left with great memories and even bear pictures from the deck.

Beautiful view!
We enjoyed 3 nights at the mighty sunset and couldn’t be more happy with it. In fact we wanted to stay longer and even asked the property managers during our stay if we could stay an extra night… sadly it was already booked. We loved the hot tub and beautiful sunsets from the deck. The floor plan was perfect for our family. Our two teenagers took the upstairs bedrooms/loft, my husband and I had the main level bedroom and our newly married adult son and his wife had the downstairs as there own separate/private area. The cabin is located in a cozy and quiet area far enough away from the business of Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge but close enough with a quick drive into town. Access to the Smoky Mountains National Park was nearby as well. The property managers were fast to respond to any questions and needs we had. Check in/out was simple and the property was clean. We would definitely stay here again if we find ourselves back in the area. Highly recommend!

This is not one home but two separate apartments.
Not recommended for children because you have to go outside to access the game room and the 4th bedroom. The 3rd bedroom is in an open area and not a room with doors.

STAY HERE!!!!!!!!!!!
The cabin looks exactly like the photos. The check in process was very easy. The host kept communication open and was very responsive when needed. The view is to die for!!!!!!!! Worth every penny. 5 stars all around!!!! If there was anything that could of been changed it would be maybe put a sign on the road by the garage driveway that says 136 because there’s only a sign that says 130 but once we found it we was good to go the rest of the time. But it was still a full 5 star experience

The cabin was dirty. The hot tub was nasty with filthy water. Ligh bulbs out in the bathroom.
The place was filthy. My wife had to sweep and mop the floors. The counter top in the kitchen had food crumbs on it. The bathtub had hair in the drain. The owners were hard to get ahold of and we couldn't use the hot tub the first two days because the water was black and disgusting. We begged for light bulbs and a clean hot tub. We asked on Thursday and by friday night at 9pm they finally sent someone with bulbs and someone to drain the hot tub and clean it. Will never rent from this owner again!

Great cabin and location
We stayed at the cabin in early November. The back deck looking out over the fall colors was amazing. Inside the cabin, the rooms are all a good size. We had 4 adults and 2 kids and all stayed in ‘main’ section of the house. More adults would have made it hard to gather together, but we weren’t inside very much and we had no complaints. We didn’t utilize the downstairs game room area of cabin as often (it connects externally), but my husband balled down there and said futon was actually very comfortable!

About the host

Hosted by Yvette Hwee

Host profile image
Hello! We are Ryan and Yvette of MightyVacay.Rentals. Ryan is a long-time health tech geek, and Yvette is a mompreneur in ed-tech. We live in California with two little girls that love to play golf, sing, and dance, and beg their parents unmercifully to adopt a sugar glider as a pet (umm, no!).

We have ALWAYS loved to travel. From studying abroad in our youth to now vacationing as a family, we enjoy traveling near and far to live our lives to the fullest! In 2020, we found our way to the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee, and it was love at first sight. Right away, we knew it was a special place. Not only are the mountains incredibly beautiful, but there are also so many fun things to do in Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, and Gatlinburg. There really is something for everyone here in the Smokies.

We loved it so much that we bought a couple of cabins that would bring us back over and over again! And so, MightyVacay.Rentals was born. We started MightyVacay.Rentals so that we could share our family vacation homes with our extended family, friends, and other kindred spirits looking to enjoy good times filled with wonderful stories and happy memories.

What are you waiting for? Come book and stay with us at MightyVacay.Rentals! Regardless of your chosen location, be it one of our cabins in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee or our beach homes in Panama City Beach in Florida and Gulf Shores in Alabama, you can expect the same amazing experience! At MightyVacay.Rentals, happiness is a way of travel and a destination.

Why they chose this property

MIGHTY SUNSET cabin is particularly special because not only does it have soul. It also has the most beautiful views of the mountains and the sunset (seriously, I love a gorgeous sunset any day!). It truly is a quaint, rustic cabin nestled in a mountain oasis that's secluded and private yet also just a short drive to top attractions in Wears Valley, Gatlinburg, and Pigeon Forge. You will also have access to use the resort outdoor pool and "catch and release" fishing pond at Honeysuckle Meadows Campgrounds.

What makes this property unique

When you stay at MIGHTY SUNSET, you will enjoy the intimate atmosphere and all of the fun things to do on the property. Play classic games with the whole family. Watch a movie together in the living room or curl up with a good book on the sofa. Play pool in the game room. Relax in the private hot tub. Take in the peace and quiet on the rocking chairs on the viewing decks. Admire the spectacular views of the mountains and the sunset! And don't forget, from late April through October, you can swim at the resort outdoor pool and "catch and release" fishing pond at Honeysuckle Meadows Campgrounds. Our charming, rustic MIGHTY SUNSET cabin is a great place to unwind at. It's your perfect, peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city!
