We stayed here for the Jeep Invasion in August for a long weekend. We were able to walk to the LeConte Center for the Jeep event. The cabin is nicely kept and tucked away so it feels secluded. Would be perfect for two couples as the bedroom living spaces are completely separate. I really liked having a deck on the first and second floor. We parked here with a Jeep Wrangler and it was fine but any larger vehicles might want to check with the owner as I thought the parking was tight. Overall, a really enjoyable stay and I would book here again!

Great place!

This is a great place to stay for a visit to pigeon forge or the Smokies. The cabin was super clean when we checked in, and it has all the ammenities. Hot tub was clean. 3 bathrooms (2 with showers) and 2 queen beds. Fully equiped kitchen. Couch and beds were comfortable. It even has a washer and dryer. Despite being right in the middle of pigeon forge, the neighborhood feels very secluded and is heavily wooded. Plenty of privacy. Overall its a great cabin, easy check in process, and great location!

It should be noted that this cabin is not in the mountains but in a neighborhood in Pigeon Forge. The back porches overlook parking lots in the commercial area below. For those who don't care about being away from the city, this is not a bad thing, but it is definitely not a mountain cabin. It is also very cold - bring your own blankets because the beds do not have blankets and there are no extras. Although it is described as over 1100 square feet, most of the footage is in stairways - 3 stores with a bedroom on the bottom floor and a loft bedroom on the top. The living room has a nice electric fireplace (no heat) but only has a sofa and one recliner. Kitchen is also very small. The welcome book left by the owner describes the ways you can be fined or charged extra and a copy of the lease, not very welcoming. It also states that if you leave a good review, you can get a discount on your next stay. Not too worried about that.The other reviews say vacationers found this cabin to be very clean, but we found the HVAC return vent to be extremely dirty and there were ants and spiders in the shower upstairs. Giving 3 stars because I realize some people might want to be very close to all the traffic in Pigeon Forge. Just not for us.

About the host

Why they chose this property

Because it is close to everything but still secluded. We searched for over a year for the right cabin for our family. And Wild Thang is it. Pigeon Forge has lots of traffic so if you are in a cabin that is 5 miles out of town or more it is a nightmare to get to restaurants or shows or shopping, so we wanted one close so the drive would not be bad during peak times. We walk to the Island when the traffic is bumper to bumper. We love our cabin and hope you do to.

What makes this property unique

We are so close to everything but feels like your in the deep woods.
