This was a fantastic property to stay in. Very clean and the amenities were wonderful. Views were beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.
Beautiful cabin with a clear view of the Smokey Mountains. Enough trees to provide privacy from other cabins. The house was clean and was perfect for our group of 4. Location was very good, easy access to Gatlinberg and a short drive to awesome hiking trails in the Smokies.
This property was in the perfect location. It was clean, had fun games and comfy beds! Loved the views and everything about the place. Can’t wait to rebook!
This cabin is SPECTACULAR!!!! My husband and I spent 4 days here 9/18 - 9/22. The weather was hot during the day and perfect in the evening. The views from both decks are everything and more the pictures portray. We will be back for sure. The Great Smoky Mountains are a Beautiful piece of nature.Book this cabin you WILL NOT be disappointed. Tony & Melissa
We can't recommend this beautiful home enough! Secluded but minutes away from Gatlinburg, it's a great place to relax and recharge after a day of seeing the sights. We'll be coming back!
Everything was amazing! Very smooth process from start to finish, host was quick to respond to any questions we had before our check in, the cabin was beautiful! Highly recommend!
This was a wonderful trip and the house is beautiful! The view is amazing! I can’t say enough good things about it. We really enjoyed our time there and hope to come back again!
This is a huge, beautiful cabin. We definitely enjoyed our stay. Everything was very clean and for the price you cannot beat it. We’ll definitely stay there again.
Staying at the High Expectations cabin was the best part of our trip to the Smoky Mountains! OK, seeing bears was the BEST part, but the cabin was a close number 2! Communication with the owner was excellent. The cabin itself is fantastic. The views are stunning, and the cabin is a work of art in itself. Beautiful construction and really nice decorating. Everything is well maintained and all the details are covered. The beds were comfortable and the linens, blankets, towels, etc. were top notch. We didn't use the fireplace because it was HOT when we were there, but the AC worked flawlessly and kept us comfortable. The location is close to town but far enough out that it's not overrun by the traffic. If you like local artisans there are literally dozens of shops (maybe 50 or more) within a 5 minute drive. You can also get to nice restaurants, cafes, stores, etc. without having to go through Gatlinburg. Everything was awesome! We loved it!!
We had a wonderful time at this lovely cabin. The kitchen was stocked with everything anyone would need. The beds were very comfortable and the views were spectacular. Everything was very clean with extra touches everywhere. Jeannette was an excellent host and checked on us to make sure we arrived safely and there were no problems. We would definitely stay there again the next time we visit the area.
Wonderful stay with an amazing view! The cabin had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We really enjoyed the hot tub, game room, and keurig to name a few. And we have never stayed in a cabin as clean as this one! We really hope to visit again soon!
This cabin was clean and very easy to access from Gatlinburg. What stood out was the spectacular view and comfortable deck! Great layout and perfect for two couples or family. We will definitely keep this as a favorite and stay again!
Everything about the cabin is perfect!! The listing gives an accurate description, the views are stunning.

About the host
Hosted by Jeannette
Welcome to our cabin- High Expectations. We are happy to be able to share our personal getaway with all our guests. We are committed owners and for us, every detail, maintenance, and general care of our property is top priority. We travel frequently from our home to visit the beauty and tranquility of our cabin backyard- the Smoky Mountains. We love to hike and immerse ourselves in the Park trails for that unique mountain experience and know that at the end of the day our restful, tranquil getaway awaits us. This is our home away from home.
Why they chose this property
My husband and I have always enjoyed the outdoors and we wanted a special place that would give us the true spirit of the Mountains- a tranquil setting that would allow us time to unwind. We found this cabin with its Spellbound Setting- nestled among the trees facing Mt. Leconte and its Mountain Ranges. We have visited many National parks and we have never seen views where the Mountains were literally at your doorstep! But the beauty of it all is that it is also conveniently located near all the attractions of a tourist destination like Gatlinburg and only a few minutes from the Smoky Mountain National Park. We feel so lucky to have found our little piece of heaven- we know you will find it memorable too.
What makes this property unique
Incredible views and the perfect location- away from it all and yet within 5-6 miles to all the area attractions- you get the best of both worlds. This combination of convenience to area attractions, easy access and breathtaking scenery is a rare find and one of the unique benefits of High Expectations! This location is a great launching point to nearby area attractions such as Dollywood and Pigeon Forge, the Golf Course, White Water Rafting, Zip Lining, the National Park, and the city of Gatlinburg making this a Great Getaway for families and/or couples. The cabin is easily accessible with level parking which is very hard to find in many of these mountain cabins. Within two steps you are on the main floor of the cabin and so, it is very convenient for Grandparents or small children. As fellow Vacation Rental travelers, we understand the importance of a home away from home. We have taken every opportunity to add not only comfortable furnishings but all the small touches that makes your stay impressively comfortable- well stocked kitchen (yes including good knives), plenty of hooks to hang towels and clothes, unique decor that creates a rustic mountain ambiance, comfy throws, ironing boards, hair dryers and the list goes on! We are confident you will find this to be one of a kind mountain experience!
