LOCATION LOCATION!! Half a mile to downtown Gatlinburg. 3-tier decks overlook the city and the mountains! Sit on the decks and enjoy the music playing from a distance.

Our cabin is furnished with Three King Master Suites, tiled showers, theater room, game room equipped with free-play arcade games, and comfortably sleeps six. This cabin is close to everything Gatlinburg has to offer because it is located directly up on the mountain about a half mile behind Ripley's Aquarium.

You will enter a private driveway to a large flat concrete parking area with just five steps to enter the cabin. The main level offers a beautiful rock fireplace accented with a log mantel, electric fireplace, leather sofa and two leather chairs. The living area features a 40" LED TV with ROKU and Spectrum Cable and as well as high speed internet throughout the cabin. All three master suites are on their own floor, so you have complete privacy. The kitchen is fully equipped, has large beautiful windows and doors that lead out to one of the three decks to enjoy the mountain air, inspiring views of the Smoky Mountains and Gatlinburg below. The deck is equipped with rocking chairs and a 6-person hot tub to enjoy the outdoors. Night time is another treat when the view turns to the glow of the city lights below.

The lower level leads to the game area complete with free-play arcades; board games, cards, poker chips, theater room, and many movies have been provided to entertain all ages on a 82-inch TV. There is also a master suite bedroom and full bathroom on this lower level.The bedroom is equipped with an LED TV and DVD Player.

The upper level leads to another master suite, king size log bed, and beautiful tiled shower. Beyond the master suite is a relaxing sitting area to curl up with your favorite book, next to the large windows and doors that leads out to the upper level deck, complete with seating for a high rise view!

The main level features the beautiful vaulted ceilings, paddle fan, fully equipped kitchen with granite counter-tops, farmhouse sink, stainless appliances, oversize dining table, laundry room with full-size washer and dryer, and the third master suite with king size log bed, and an adjoining full bathroom with a beautifully tiled shower. This bedroom is equipped with a 32" LED TV and DVD Player. The full bath on this level offers a beautifully tiled tub/shower combo, granite counter-top, large vanity, and vessel sink.

Always a View combines a fantastic view, close to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge attractions, with multiple amenities, a cabin to enjoy year-round!

Three luxury master suites, king beds, tiled showers, huge game room with free-play arcades, theater room, 6-person hot tub, and beautiful mountain and city strip views! You can't beat it!

Our stay was everything and more! We had such a wonderful time with our parents, and it was extra special bringing my mom and my boyfriend’s mom together to meet for the first time. Always a View truly lives up to its name—it’s the best place to stay. The views are breathtaking, the atmosphere is peaceful, and it made our time together unforgettable. We can’t wait to come back!

Perfect Gatlinburg Getaway

We absolutely loved our stay at this cozy cabin in Gatlinburg! The location was ideal—secluded enough to feel peaceful and private, but still just a short drive to downtown, hiking trails, and the national park.The cabin itself was spotless and well-stocked. The kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were super comfortable, and the hot tub on the deck was the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. We even spotted a bear on the property —such a cool experience!Check-in was smooth, and the hosts were responsive and helpful throughout. Whether you're looking for a romantic weekend or a fun family trip, this cabin is a great choice. We’ll definitely be back!

Why they chose this property

This cabin was love at first sight! We searched high and low for the perfect cabin, and this shines above the rest with the perfect location, year-round views, and accommodations.
*Sadly we lost our beautiful cabin to the wildfires in 2016. It was a long wait, but we think you will see why it is worth the wait! We have spent extra time and effort to make this cabin the perfect fit for your family's mountain getaway home! Three luxury master suites, king beds, tiled showers, huge game room with free-play arcades, theater room, 6-person hot tub, and beautiful mountain and city strip views! You can't beat it!

What makes this property unique

The view from all three decks are absolutely breathtaking! Watch Gatlinburg come to life with the city lights at night, or enjoy the Smoky fog off the mountains during the mornings. When we lost our cabin to the wildfires in 2016, it gave us the opportunity to build back bigger and better than ever. We think you will agree that the wait is worth it!
