Entire Cabin

The Neighborhood:
This cabin is tucked deep into the woods, offering rare privacy with panoramic views of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park as your backdrop. While the setting feels wonderfully remote, you’re just 3.5 miles from the heart of downtown Gatlinburg and less than 10 minutes from several national park entrances. From scenic drives to hidden trailheads, this location puts you in the perfect position to experience both peace and adventure.

Getting Around:
This cabin is located off fully paved roads and features easy parking for up to two vehicles. The drive into downtown Gatlinburg is a quick 3.5 miles, with popular attractions, restaurants, and trail access just minutes away. While most cars can manage the drive in normal weather, we recommend a 4x4 vehicle when exploring the broader Smoky Mountain region, especially in winter or heavy rain.

Other Things to Note:
• Must be 21 or older to book.
• Sleeps 2 guests maximum.
• Parking for 2 vehicles is available on-site.
• 4x4 vehicle recommended for mountain travel.
• Fireplace is gas and operates seasonally (typically Oct–Mar).
• Coffee maker is Keurig—please bring your own pods.
• Charcoal grill available—bring your own charcoal.
• Hot tub is drained, sanitized, and refilled between each guest stay. It may need time to reach full temperature on the check-in day.
• Starter supplies of toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, and laundry detergent are provided.
• Guests agree to use the website messenger for all communication, even if initial contact is made by another method.
• Bears and all types of wildlife are very common in the area! Do not feed or bother the bears or wildlife! Please leave them alone. We have no control over wildlife. They are very protected here and part of our area. Secure your belongings and always lock vehicle doors.
• We have monthly pest control at all of our cabins.  Being in the Great Smoky Mountains, we are surrounded by nature and wildlife.  Ladybugs, millipedes, and other insects can be difficult to combat around this time of year, even with our constant pest control program in place.  It is not uncommon to see them occur in and around the cabin/condo, especially with the opening and closing of doors.  This is extremely common for the area and all cabins/condos.

Interaction with Guests:
The best and fastest way to reach me is through the website messenger.

Quiet and cozy

The cabin was very peacefully and away from the hustle and bustle of Gatlinburg. We saw a black bear roaming in the parking area on one of our morning breakfast. Overall great place to stay for our quick 3 day getaway with all the necessities.

Nice place to stay

The property is in a very nice location, just minutes of drive about 2 miles from the Gatlinburg center. The property is very nice as advertised. It is a good size for just my wife and I. We are provided with everything that we needed. The indoor jetted tub was good. The outdoor hot tub also was very nice. We can see sun rise right from our bed and it was nice.

Secluded Cabin with a view

Really enjoyed to cabin. *Clean, stocked, AC worked well, shower was good. *Bed was comfy although it seemed I stuck to the sheet, maybe there is a protective sheet under the main sheet.*The view was really nice but a little nit is the plants are getting a little tall and imposing on the view perhaps trim them down a bit.*Saw a bear our first morning there rather large black bear. That was cool.*Would stay again.TV and wifi worked fine. The instruction book references an old router and password. Chris/Manager responded quickly to my request for current PW.

Quiet but close to the action

Nice quiet cabin that was easy to get to. Very clean and the kitchen is well supplied. There were a lot of bugs in the cabin but I suppose that is to be expected since it is in the forest.

Perfect mountain getaway

I had the most amazing experience at this cabin rental! The views from the deck were absolutely breathtaking, and witnessing the epic sunrise every morning was a highlight of my stay. The hosts were incredibly helpful and communicative, making our trip even more enjoyable. I can't wait to come back and experience this slice of paradise again. Highly recommended!

Fantastic sunrise view and general location

This cabin is perfect for a romantic getaway for a couple. The driveway is a bit bumpy, so make sure you have a car that can handle it. The location is ideal; there is a supermarket about 10 minutes away and a fantastic tapas restaurant. It's also 30 minutes from an incredible swimming hole and overlooks and hiking trails at The Smokey's. The sunrise is breathtaking and can be enjoyed right from the comfort of the bed.

Celebrating Life

My husband and i wanted to get away abd celebrate life. Hes been diagnosed with stage 3 congestive heart failure. Every second we live is a gift, more precious than gold. When we arrived to the canin we were amazed at the view!!! The sunrise was spectacular!! Our property manager, Chris, checked on us a couple of times. That was so appreciated! The cabin does have a few updates that are needed. But, overall we were very pleased with the property and the customer service.

Cute little cabin, great location and view!

Very cute cabin. Loved the location and back deck! The living room, kitchen and bed are all combined in the main room. (Pics are a little unclear with the layout.) Bathroom is separate with a washer and dryer. My only complaint is there were several flys inside the cabin upon arriving. There were at least 15 large bloated flys located mainly between the blinds/ on deck facing windows. Thankfully they were slow moving and easy to swat…. With the steep cleaning fees I do not think that should be an expectation…
