About this property

SERENITY IN THE MOUNTAINS - Private-view-convenient-unique-hot tub-ev charging

This cabin has been used for numerous honeymoons and anniversaries. In addition, there have been at least 3 weddings performed in the cabin. On the other hand, it has also been used as a retreat when families have lost loved ones or to escape from an otherwise stressful life.

It has a nice view of the mountains, although the view is better in the winter when leaves are off the trees or after some trees have been thinned.

Enjoy the wildlife and mountains while relaxing in the rocking chairs on the back porch. In cooler weather, relax in front of the fireplace & enjoy the beautiful mountains through the floor to ceiling glass wall in the main living area. You can also relax in the whirlpool tub in the master bedroom or the hot tub on the back porch (the main picture was taken from the hot tub).

The cabin is on 2 1/2 acres of land and very private. From the living room sleeper sofa or recliner or from the back porch rockers or hot tub, you see no other cabins/houses, just the woods, wildlife, and Brush Mountain in the distance. Fall foliage is spectacular!

The master bedroom has a king size log bed, flat screen TV, DVD player, and whirlpool tub. Adjacent to the bedroom is a full bathroom with shower/tub combination. The shower features selections for waterfall, rain fall, front spray, or hand wand.

There is 1 step up to the front porch & another step up to the main part of the cabin which has the dine-in kitchen, master bedroom .

The dining table & benches are red cedar handmade by a friend in Northport, AL. There is a locally made birch tree lamp in the main living area. Other lamp shades feature artwork of the Hautman Brothers who are wildlife artists with works in Smithsonian and the White House.

There is 1 step down from the main floor to the back porch which has the charcoal bar-b-que grill, rockers, & hot tub.

The 2nd bedroom & full bathroom (shower/tub combination) are located in the loft. It features a Hautman Brothers bedspread and lamp shade plus a locally made cedar lamp and locally made bear theme night stand. There is a flat screen TV, XBox 360 with video games & board games.

The living room is equipped with a 49" Roku TV with DVD, so movies and on the Roku channel are free. If guests have subscriptions to Netflix, Hulu, etc. they can use those supscriptions on the TV as well.

The master bedroom & loft bedroom have flat screen TVs with DVD players. DVD movies and books are provided for your enjoyment and relaxation.

All the attractions along the Parkway in Pigeon Forge are only about 5 - 10 minutes away, while Dollywood and the national park are only about 10-15 minutes away. Snow skiing, Ripley's aquarium and museums are about 20-30 minutes away in Gatlinburg.

We have added an EV charging station for those with electric vehicles/hybrids. To use the charging station, contact the owner. There is a 1 time $50 charging fee for unlimited charging.

About the host

Hosted by Andy Carver

Host profile image
A retired Marine infantry officer (E-1 - O-4) with 23 years of service. Also retired after 28 years of service as a benefits counselor with the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Currently living in Alabama.

Married (1976) with 2 children & 4 grandchildren.

I enjoy getting to know many of my guests on a personal basis. I also enjoy providing unique furnishings for the cabin and make some of the furniture myself from cutting trees to moving the furnitue in. In many cases, I do it all with the exception of building the furniture.

I really enjoy making special memories for guests, like my friend from Virginia whom I have never met in person but who have been coming to the cabin for many years. They used it before they married, used it for their honeymoon, and now return at least once a year for their anniversary.

Or the young couple who booked the cabin, then sent me a picure of their engagement ring on our fireplace hearth where he proposed to her. They returned later that year for the honeymoon.

I'm also thankful to be able to provide a "grief retreat" for those who need it, like the single mom whose 19 son died suddenly from an unknown heart condition. She wrote a very nice note explaining that the peaceful setting of the cabin helped her cope with the loss of her only child.

More recently, an 80 year old woman who expressed her appreciaton for the cabin when her husband died. They had been married for 60 years.

While the latter situations are sad, I'm thankful that the cabin can provide a little solace for those who are in a time of grief.

Why they chose this property

The property has a nice view. It also has plenty of privacy located on 2 1/2 acres of land, and it's also convient because it's only about 4 miles (10 minutes) to the parkway in Pigeon Forge where all the shows, restaurants, etc. are located. It's also only about 30 minutes to the national park, tubing, zip lines, horseback riding, snow skiing, etc.

What makes this property unique

The privacy, scenery, & location make this an ideal location for a family, but it's also an ideal location for a romantic getaway. It has been used frequently for anniversaries, & honeymoons. In addition, AT LEAST 3 WEDDINGS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED IN THIS CABIN.

However, what really makes the property unique is that almost all furnishings in the property are handmade specifically for my cabin. So, you've never seen anything else like it before & will never see anything like it again. In fact, I make a lot of the furniture myself.

I salvage logs which would otherwise be burned, chipped, or left to rot. I saw the logs into boards using my own small sawmill. I then take it to a woman who makes unfinished furniture. After she builds the furniture, I put a finish on it using a secret blend of furniture oils & waxes. Only 1 person knows the formula & I'm not that person.

Some lampshades & blankets were designed from the Hautman Brothers paintings - They have wildlife paintings in Smithsonian & the White House

Most of the furniture has been built by Martha Pointer who has a small furniture shop at her home in Ashland, AL. She took over the shop when her husband Roy died & uses money from furniture sales to fund her mission trips to Peru, etc.

The dining table & chair swing were made by my friend Wayne Bridges in Northport, AL. - We ran track together in high school.

The kitchen counter and many other things were made by my friend and maintence man Lee Stephens who lives near the cabin.

The birch lamp and Red Cedar lamps were made by a man & his wife who had a shop about 5 miles from the cabin, but are no longer in business.

The smaller quilt was made to my specs by "Quilting Granny" (Sabrina Gray) in Gatlingburg who is in a wheelchair, but also a story-teller, artist, & makes herbal products.

The larger quilts were made by Kim Beecher in Prattville, AL. Kim is a retired AF Lt. Col.
