FABULOUS Views & Memories at Highlander Retreat
AMAZING VIEWS FROM OUR FABULOUS BUILT CABIN - We have views for days from either of our spacious 9 x 30 ft decks. The views can be seen from outside or the inside of our cabin. Our Alpine style cabin offers a beautiful and comfortable living space with an authentic wood burning fireplace (in season) and a fully stocked amazing kitchen. Enjoy sleeping or lounging around in comfort and luxury in one of our two king size beds (adjustable bedframe) where you can also enjoy the majestic scenery. With the third bedroom this eliminates the need for a pullout couch or loft bedroom.
After a day of hiking, playing or shopping you can relax by watching television on any of our four televisions available, surf the high speed internet if you like, cozy up and read a good book or relax in the hot tub. In addition, we proudly offer the following to all of our guests: three bedrooms and two bathrooms, a park style grill, paved and lit parking, star gazing, more than just the basic cable channels, 150 hiking trails nearby, regular and fly fishing, river tubing, horseback riding stables are convenient and did we mention views?
The living room, dining area, kitchen and every bedroom offer phenomenal views of the mountains. Everyone has a real bed to sleep in when you stay at Highlander Retreat. Everyone will have privacy with the ability to take a break and recharge. In addition, we have a hot tub for those wanting to unwind even further at anytime, Or step out on the deck with your wine or coffee to take in a deep breath and the mountain air.
We are constantly asked if we can take more people at our cabin. It is very spacious and will hold more people - there is more than enough room for six people to relax. The issue is US! We are good stewards of the land AND the longevity of our cabin in general. The cabin is our home away from home. Opening it up to smaller parties for staying we love to do and by the same token we want to preserve our cabin for years to come. In addition, the septic and leech lines are not designed to hold so many people at once consistently. Septic systems don’t just include toilets! Due to our septic and leech lines we are limited to six people which includes children. Children of all ages. If you have an infant (less than 6 months old) in your party please message us for details.
We are conveniently located near Downtown Gatlinburg (3.5 miles) or Pigeon Forge (6 miles) off of the spur. Ober Gatlinburg is also just minutes away and offers year round entertainment for people of all ages!
We offer security through ADT with outdoor security cameras for our guests.
Remember when you contact Highlander Retreat Cabin you will be answered by an owner. We all live in Tennessee, love going to the mountains and part of us even grew up in those mountains. You will NEVER be contacted by a manager.
Come on to the mountains - relax and enjoy yourselves!!!

About the host
Hosted by Shauna Chance, Dawn Nasoori
Dawn and I grew up in Knoxville Tennessee and were lucky enough to call the Smoky’s our playground. We were also lucky enough to talk our husbands into getting a cabin of our own! We, Shauna, Shawn, Dawn and Marshall, originally purchased an authentic log home three lots down on Elm Road in January 2015. The fires in November 2016 completely destroyed our little cabin. We were devastated. Yet determined to rebuild and enjoy the beautiful mountains we have always known and loved deeply.
Why they chose this property
It took us much longer to rebuild than anticipated. We moved lots. We decided to go more towards our Alpine ancestor. We also decided to we must use local builders for our cabin. No one knows this area better and no one builds better! We had to wait but the wait was worth it. Shauna designed the cabin from nothing and we lovingly picked EVERYTHING that is involved with our cabin. Even down to the doorstops. The Alpine design combined with the mountain look is unique and special to this area.
What makes this property unique
We hope you will come and relax in our spacious cabin. Yes it is spacious. Yes it could hold more people. However we do not wish to have more people for several reasons. Mainly the septic tank is rated for six. Another huge reason is this is a place to relax and unwind. This is not a place to sleep twelve or twenty people. We offer a huge living area with a wood burning fireplace, two spacious decks with beautiful views, a kitchen to dream about, comfy beds, four TVs and access to over 500 miles of hiking trails. Come and visit, get in touch with yourself, your spouse or your family. That’s what we want to build - memories....
