About this property

Serenity in the mountains - Privacy & convenience - Pets, Hot Tub, & EV charging

This cabin has been used for numerous honeymoons and anniversaries. In addition, there have been at least 3 weddings performed in the cabin. On the other hand, it has also been used as a retreat when families have lost loved ones or to escape from an otherwise stressful life.

Enjoy the wildlife and mountains while relaxing in the rocking chairs on the back porch. In cooler weather, relax in front of the fireplace & enjoy the beautiful mountains through the floor to ceiling glass wall in the main living area. You can also relax in the whirlpool tub in the master bedroom or the hot tub on the back porch (the main picture was taken from the hot tub).

The cabin is on 2 1/2 acres of land and very private. From the living room sleeper sofa or recliner or from the back porch rockers or hot tub, you see no other cabins/houses, just the woods, wildlife, and Brush Mountain in the distance. Fall foliage is spectacular!

The master bedroom has a king size log bed, flat screen TV, DVD player, and whirlpool tub. Adjacent to the bedroom is a full bathroom with shower/tub combination. The shower features selections for waterfall, rain fall, front spray, or hand wand.

There is 1 step up to the front porch & another step up to the main part of the cabin which has the dine-in kitchen, master bedroom .

The dining table & benches are red cedar handmade by a friend in Northport, AL. There is a locally made birch tree lamp in the main living area. Other lamp shades feature artwork of the Hautman Brothers who are wildlife artists with works in Smithsonian and the White House.

There is 1 step down from the main floor to the back porch which has the charcoal bar-b-que grill, rockers, & hot tub.

The 2nd bedroom & full bathroom (shower/tub combination) are located in the loft. It features a Hautman Brothers bedspread and lamp shade plus a locally made cedar lamp and locally made bear theme night stand. There is a flat screen TV, XBox 360 with video games & board games.

The living room is equipped with a 49" Roku TV with DVD, so movies and on the Roku channel are free. If guests have subscriptions to Netflix, Hulu, etc. they can use those supscriptions on the TV as well.

The master bedroom & loft bedroom have flat screen TVs with DVD players. DVD movies and books are provided for your enjoyment and relaxation.

All the attractions along the Parkway in Pigeon Forge are only about 5 - 10 minutes away, while Dollywood and the national park are only about 10-15 minutes away. Snow skiing, Ripley's aquarium and museums are about 20-30 minutes away in Gatlinburg.

We have added an EV charging station for those with electric vehicles/hybrids. To use the charging station, contact the owner. There is a 1 time $50 charging fee for unlimited charging.

Smoky Mountain Hospitality

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The pictures on the website could use some updating as they don't do it justice- it's a beautiful property and a lovely place to retreat. We had a series of unpredictable events including a maintenance issue and temporary loss of power due to storms. Our host went above and beyond to keep us informed and calm. He also arranged for us to have a wonderful meal at a great local restaurant once the roads were cleared from the debris. We would recommend his cabin and look forward to returning!loss of poeer due to

Cozy. Nestled in the mountains. Clean. Road to get to property is treacherous with no room to pass another vehicle. Driveway is tricky. Nicely kept cabin. Really enjoyed back porch and hot tub. Liked not having another cabin right next to us.
