My family of five spent a long weekend here right before Christmas, and we had a wonderful time. The hot tub and movie area were huge hits with everyone. The location is perfect: close enough to be just 10-20 minutes from all the main attractions, yet tucked away for that peaceful Smoky Mountains vibe. This was our third year visiting the area around Christmas, and this property easily had the best views we’ve experienced so far. We’d definitely recommend it to family and friends!

Our stay was fantastic! Check in was super easy and the place had everything we could have needed. The views and wildlife were amazing. Phil responded immediately to questions and was a great host. The location was great as well-out of the way but just a couple minutes to downtown.

We had so much fun. It’s near the city strip! Kids love the games and theater! It’s set up like a home away from home. We had everything we needed. Take you time on the road up! It was beautiful we had Thanksgiving in this cabin! It was decorated with Christmas decor but it was still nice! YES you will see bears! We saw two and they were babies! 10/10 from us! Phil is awesome!

We had a wonderful time staying at Sophie’s hideout. The view was spectacular, the bear sightings were entertaining and the owner/host was very helpful. Also, the drive up was not so bad, but I do recommend arriving before dark the first time up. I would definitely stay here again.

It was a good time.

Overall it was a nice cabin we did find quite a few things in drawers in different rooms of the house and one of the bedrooms which we had planned to be the kids room was not able to be gotten to from inside of the house but overall a very nice cabin and stay.
