Some of our favorite hikes are:
Mingo Falls
Mingo Falls is on the Cherokee Indian Reservation (Qualla Boundary), just outside Great Smoky Mountains National Park. No special permits are required for access to the reservation. At 120 feet tall, the waterfall is one of the tallest and most spectacular in the southern Appalachians. The hike to the waterfall is only 0.4 miles in length, but is considered moderate in difficulty. Access Trail: Pigeon Creek Trail Trailhead: From Oconaluftee Visitor Center, drive south (toward Cherokee) on US-441 and take the second left onto Big Cove Road. At the first stop sign turn left and drive 4.5 miles to Mingo Falls Campground, where the trail begins.
Juney Whank Falls
Juney Whank Falls is divided into an upper and lower section. Both can be viewed from the footbridge which crosses Juney Whank Branch at the falls. Together they drop 90 feet from top to bottom. The trail to the waterfall is 0.8 miles roundtrip and is considered moderate in difficulty.
Grotto Falls
Trillium Gap Trail meanders through an old-growth hemlock forest and actually runs behind the 25 foot high waterfall. The cool, moist environment near the falls is ideal for salamanders and summer hikers. The hike is 3 miles roundtrip and considered moderate Trailhead: From the parkway in Gatlinburg, turn at traffic light #8 and follow Historic Nature Trail into Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Take Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail to stop #5 where there is a large parking area. This one is close and absolutely beautiful. I last hiked it with my 60 year old mother and 4 nieces and nephews ranging in age from 3-11 years old. We saw 3 bears at a distant, swam in the reflective pool of the falls, and had a fun-filled day without over doing it.

Pets must be pre-approved based on age, weight, and breed. Pet fee applies.

The mountain cabin was a very clean rustic setting. We loved the outdoor secluded hot tub. We slept wonderfully in the king bed. The kitchen is well appointed with all you need to cook a delicious meal. The bedroom is downstairs and with our age that was a challenge. Otherwise a perfect trip.

Weekend Getaway

This is the perfect location for a family weekend get away. It feels seccluded in the woods but is a short drive from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. It is cute and clean. We had the two of us and two kids. The games down stairs and hot tub were a hit. Host very helpful with getting our reservation done through the site.

Our family of 4 enjoyed our stay. Our kids enjoyed the game room and we had fun playing the card and board games that were there. Do know that this at the top of a mountain so the steep hills can be a bit daunting if you're unprepared for it!

this cabin made our experience great, we absolutely loved the cabin!

everything was great, the only thing we had a problem with was the king size bed it was almost too stiff and hurt our backs laying on it, luckily the hot tub did help with that some. but the cabin was so cozy and we absolutely loved it!

About the host

We are Veterans who fell in love with the Smokies. This area has so much to offer that we could visit it 100 times and still not experience all that we are interested it. The beauty, the hiking, the wildlife, the attractions, the shopping, the restaurants….the fun.

Why they chose this property

We love the beauty of this area and the rustic elegance of this cabin.
Close easy drive to downtown in of either and close to our favorite National Park.
The cabin is very open and spacious for a one a bedroom. It is also very private on a peaceful mountain. We love wildlife watching from the decks or taking evening walks through the neighborhood.

What makes this property unique

Nature watching from the back decks. Enjoying morning coffee in a rocker on the private back deck. Relaxing in large hottub. Romance of the masterbedroom suite that has a fireplace, jetted jacuzzi and large king bed. Fun gameroom with billards pool, fooseball, air hockey, hdtv, wifi, puzzles, board games...etc. We purposely designed this cabin with the perfect combo of romance and fun!
