About this property
Breathtaking Mountain Views, Propane Fire Pit, Minutes to Nat’l Park.
Your perfect Smoky Mountain vacation awaits at A Step Above. The cabin is situated high on Cove Mountain which provides views that will take your breath away. We are located in Wears Valley, just minutes to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance (Metcalf Bottoms entrance). The cabin sits on a 3.5 acre lot, so there are no cabins directly beside or below.
The cabin is over 3,600 square feet, so you have plenty of space to spread out. The main level features a large family/dining area with 2-story ceilings and 180-degree views of the mountains and valley. There is a natural stone gas fireplace in the main living area. The fully equipped kitchen is spacious and features brand new Kitchen Aid stainless appliances (with a double oven), granite countertops, and plenty of cabinet space to store your groceries. The Master suite features a his/hers closet and attached bath with garden tub, shower and double vanity.
Just outside the main living area you can step down off the deck onto a custom stone patio and propane fire pit. There is seating for eight, and the hot tub is adjacent to the patio. This feature was custom built in Sept. 2023. The fire pit provides heat and cozy ambiance, but is not for cooking s'mores or food of any kind. Sit back, relax and enjoy the sweeping mountain views.
The deck wraps around the main level and boasts 180-degree views of the mountains and valley. There is a porch swing and six rocking chairs to enjoy the mountain air and views.
The loft level features an open seating area with two plush swivel rockers & ottomans, a TV, and gorgeous mountain views. Off the loft seating area, there is a Queen bedroom with vaulted ceilings, a full bath, and a bedroom with two twin beds, also with vaulted ceilings.
The lower level has a comfy TV seating area with a recliner sofa and two plush recliners. A gas fireplace adds warmth and ambiance. There is a pool table and game table, and a cabinet full of board and card games. There is a queen bedroom, a full bath and laundry room on this level. The movie room features eight theater seats and a large wall mounted television & sound bar for watching movies, shows and games.
We feature the fastest internet available in the area. It's a premium business class speed, perfect for working remotely/virtual school. We provide streaming services free of charge, including Hulu Live (which also includes all the basic "cable" channels you are accustomed to at home), Disney + and ESPN + content, as well as free Netflix.
We are just 10 miles from the Parkway (Pigeon Forge), and only 14 miles from downtown Gatlinburg traveling through the National Park. The National Park entrance is just minutes from the cabin, via Line Springs Road, at the Metcalf Bottoms park entrance. From there, you can navigate easily to Gatlinburg or Cades Cove. You have access to all the area attractions while in a peaceful, private and serene setting.
See our cancellation policy for full refund/timeframe details. We do strongly encourage you to consider purchasing travel insurance, to assist you in unforeseen circumstances, and to protect your vacation investment. Please note: general travel insurance does not always cover all situations, including Covid-19. You can find “CFAR” policies (Cancel For Any Reason), which can be added onto most any travel insurance policy. There are several options and you can most surely find one that fits your needs and budget. Simply search google for “CFAR travel insurance” and you will find several websites and policy options available to you. You are sure to find one that fits your needs. **THE CONTENT ABOVE IS PROVIDED BY THE OWNER/MANAGER.

Why they chose this property
Unlike many rental cabin resort areas that have cabins 'right next door' A Step Above is situated on 3.5 private acres. It makes you feel secluded although you are close to all of the attractions and conveniences of the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area. The floor-to-ceiling windows allow for amazing views all day, with stunning sunset views.
What makes this property unique
Being located so close to the National Park entrance makes for easy access to all the Park has to offer. It's also a perk to drive through the National Park to get to downtown Gatlinburg. It's a 14-mile drive through the park, past the beautiful creeks and mountain views. You can avoid the Parkway traffic and stop lights and take the quiet scenic route. The appeal of Wears Valley is the true peacefulness you feel. It is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the tourist attractions, yet, they are all just a short drive away when you are looking for entertainment.
