Daydream Hideaway Cabin - Mtn retreat in the swaying pines, firepit, playground

DAYDREAM HIDEAWAY Cabin-
A Beautiful and home-like JUST renovated CABIN. (2/2023) with inviting and comfy decor throughout, a wrap around porch and expansive deck with fire pit. Your own private retreat nestled in the Smokey Mountains and surrounded by tall pines with plenty of level parking.

Please now OVERLOOK the bad reviews..!
… Basically, a wicked divorce filed w/ allegations and money mismanagement led to bad finances and as a result poor mgmt. but only temporarily..! Now that is over; the squeaky floors & lousy hot tub have been replaced, (at a cost of $17,000) this has been done as of 2/2023..!

This is a newly built luxury lodge on Bear Mountain Ln. 20-25 minutes to Dollywood (or the heart of Pigeon Forge) and/ or 30 minutes to the heart of Gatlinburg.
It’s secluded, and not on a Mountain stockpiled with cabins one after another. The one great advantage to being at this distance, you take the back roads in and the back roads out. If you’ve ever traveled to Gatlinburg/ Pigeon Forge during the high seasons, you’ll know how jampacked & frustrating the parkway can get. You avoid most all of it as this cabin triangulates the two cities and avoids the main causeway if you have a set destination in mind.
Basically it hits a sweet spot.

All the attractions like the ATVs, zip line courses, some great hiking adventures, a crazy “Tiger King” style petting zoo, and outdoor gravity park (Zorbi g) are all really close to this Cabin as well.

It’s a relatively easy drive from bottom road up the mountain. It’s your typical TN mountain meandering switchbacks and it winds but is easy enough for the last 6-7 minutes up the mountain. nothing like Chalet village in Gatlinburg. Parking for at least 6+ vehicles on a level area.

Driving up you get the feel of a real Lodge or Ranch . Pergola entry and split rail fence on either side. A great heavy duty wood PLAYGROUND, large enough for big kids and adults alike. Equipped with a dream catcher type tire swing, “pirate ship” swing, climbing wall, rope swing and 13 foot slide. The A frame swing is installed outside in the front yard for relaxing and watching the kids play.

The Front Porch area near the entrance is where you’ll locate the good sized Weber Grill for the grill master to do their work while kids sit on the actual swings and watch the master do their grilling.

Walking in you will find a custom kitchen w/ stainless appliances, fully stocked kitchen with anything your group may need. Granite counters, large granite island in the kitchen w/ 4 barstools for more seating. Next to the kitchen is a custom made (by local TN man) oak table with 4 benches. It seats at least 12-14. Flat screen TV and an electric fireplace included in living room. Two leather couches upstairs and unique seating to gather.

It boasts 3 master suite bedrooms plus 1 additional large bunk room for the kids/ children. Two of the master suites are upstairs and have their own large porch the length of the entire back of the house (super wide and long). The deck off the 2 upstairs master bedrooms share four rockers and tables for each couple to enjoy. Each master suite has its own flat screen TV, walk in closet & full-sized bathroom; w/ custom stonework/walk-in showers/granite.

Downstairs you will find another Master Suite with King Bed, flat screen TV and sitting area with rocker. The 2 downstairs bedrooms share a full- sized bathroom with shower and tub. Again, custom stonework in shower and granite counters. The house has NEW real wood floors (as of 2/2023) upstairs and the previous squeaky floor (often the aspect of bad reviews) has been torn out and replaced. All mattresses and pillows are Sealy Sleep, very comfy.

The 4th room (children’s bunk house) has 2 sets of double log bunk beds w/ twin on tops. The room has a flat screen TV on the wall and a big coffee table with games. Large walk in closet completes the room. Pack-n-play can be found in that closet

Downstairs consists of 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, a theater room, a custom whiskey barrel bar and game area. (think two large living areas; flowing from cozy hangout area with mini fridge onto entertainment, physical games and arcade gaming.

Area has a full- sized PING PONG Table.
Table top MULTI-CADE arcade game (200 games in one - vintage style). The large big screen smart TV downstairs has an original Xbox attached, and many games attached to it for even more retro entertainment. A large/ oversized Jenga can be found on the bar top as well

Walking out of the back lower level you’ll find a 5 person Nordic Retreat hot tub, and massive fire pit. Please refrain from use on windy nights and otherwise maintain good Fire Safty practices. Enjoy this cabin has a lot to offer.

Feel free to rummage the land for firewood, or to buy bundles from the nearest gas station. We actually recommend buying a few bundles and lighter fluid on your way in.

Tiny Home option/ Bonus note:

LIL’ HIDEAWAY -
Just down the ridge line is tiny home/ park cabin, that sleeps up to four and has its own private 3 person hot tub. It’s a one bedroom, one bathroom with a pull out sofa. Come fully stocked with all the cute amenities of an tiny home (approx. 470 ft.²).
If available and if interested,.. it rents for additional $120-$150 per night w/ a $50 cleaning fee per stay.

Note: It’s the only other property that you can visually see from the big cabin. You can only see the upper half of the tiny home (or less typically) and it sits opposite the playground area. All the windows of the tiny home face the other way, and mid tree-line (except for a small kitchen window). Both homes sit on their own and separate 1.5 respective acres, or a lil’ over 3 mountainous acres altogether.

It was our favorite!

We've stayed in Tennessee for 3 years in a row and this stay was hands down our favorite!!!! The cabin was super clean at check in, and completely stocked with cookwear in the kitchen! There was almost no communication needed with the owner just because everything was as advertised! I definitely 10/10 recommend. Also i know some people had problems getting to the cabin, personally for us, google maps took us right to it!

Enjoyed our stay

This is a very good cabin for families with school aged children. Our grandkids loved the playground area and having their own bedroom full of bunk beds! The cabin has a large open layout for the kitchen and living room. The kids had a ball decorating cookies and making crafts at the big table. Bedrooms were cozy and the bathrooms were beautiful. They obviously had been updated recently. The bathroom doors, however would not lock. Probably wear and tear.Im sure the owner will have them repaired as the cabin is well taken care of.

Great for families

Property had everything we needed for entertaining kids. Beds were extremely comfortable. Kitchen was fully equipped. Clean upon arrival. Only issue was obtaining wifi password and cabin protocol (finally found the second day in the back of a kitchen drawer) property manager was not extremely communicative when this was needed sooner. Overall a minor issue and a good visit. Would recommend and use again.

Great stay!

This property was great! We had 2 families stay here with littles and the bunk bed room and kings upstairs were perfect. The crock pot in the kitchen was wonderful for cooking and we really appreciated that there were plenty of dishes and the kids plates were a huge bonus. We roasted marshmallows one night and enjoyed the hot tub. Everything was clean and tidy and family friendly. The only thing I noticed was it didn’t seem like the stairs were vacuumed or cleaned regularly but it didn’t affect our stay. For the previous comments about squeaky floors they were a bit squeaky but I don’t think I’ve stayed at a cabin that doesn’t have squeaky floors and again we were just a bit quiet while the littles went to sleep. The addition of the playground was the icing on the cake. This is probably the longest review I’ve ever written but we really enjoyed our stay and hope to come back sometime soon. The distance to the main part of pigeon forge is probably about 25-30 minutes but we only went to Dollywood one day and being out in the quiet was perfect. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Colleen M.

Liked: Check-in, location
Loved the location - tucked away from hustle and bustle of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, but 25-30 minutes from both. Getting to both places was all back roads and we didn't deal with a ton of traffic. House was fine. Pictures were taken a few years ago when things were newer. Playground is weathered, no mulch - but kids didn't seem to mind. Couch now has a slipcover on it. Carpet on stairs has seen better days. Some lightbulbs out. The listing advertised a "well-stocked" kitchen. It had lots of plates and new pots & pans, but lacked mixing bowls/baking dishes/storage containers. We did like the coffee maker and appreciated the grill being ready with propane! Given that the cabin is 1/2 hour from town, we planned to cook every morning and night so the lack of casserole dishes, mixing bowls and storage containers was annoying. Towels are provided, but are the smallest / thinnest towels you've ever seen. We had a snafu upon arrival in which the house wasn't clean. It sounds like an honest mistake with calendars not syncing correctly for housekeeper. Within 2 hours of arrival, the housekeeper was there and the house was spotless when she was done. Since we met the housekeeper and discussed the kitchen's needs, she came back later with more cookware for us and replaced light bulbs. Owner did a good job with fixing the cleaning issue on day 1, but it started off our trip on a sour note. Maybe the wear & tear wouldn't have bothered us if it had been a normal check-in.

Love the location after you get up the winding mountain. The linens were old and worn. No where near enough towels. Towel rack holes in wall in one bathroom. Furniture needs cleaned and all of the outdoor woods needs stained and protected. For the price of the stay, quality or condition of these items , really not acceptable. The lower level had great entertainment options. The size of cabin was great for three families but no way could accommodate 14 unless you sleep like in a college dorm. The toilet paper was worse than I had in Africa.

I believe this was once a very nice short-term vacation rental property. We selected it because of its positive reviews, size & amenities …which seemed perfect for a 7 day & our family of 10. The space was fun for the adults & kids, & the open concept kitchen/dining/fam room provided for togetherness without being cramped. Unfortunately, we experienced a several issues that made our stay less than what was expected. The house wasn’t ready for our 4pm check-in until 8pm. Then the next morning the water tank ran dry after only a few showers, and there were only 5 bath towels in the entire house. Toward the end of our stay, the master suite lost power because of a bad breaker that wouldn’t reset. Overall, the property itself isn’t being maintained and didn’t match the pictures in the VRBO listing. The playscape grounds consisted of weeds & exposed plastic vs kid-friendly ground cover; the decks & outdoor furniture were dirty, worn & stain/paint was chipping vs clean & fresh in photos. There were big piles of sawdust on the window ledges indicative of wood boring insect infestation. Broken kitchen drawer & shelf, unusable/broken sofa bed, & front door & furniture were beat up. The water tank was filled right away & the cleaning people brought us 3 more towels. The power issue wasn’t remedied. The host was less than apologetic & only offered excuses & insinuations of blame. The (tattered) written instructions that were left for us indicated check-out time as 10:00am wit

Great property

My family and I really enjoyed this property for our stay. We had 4 adults and 6 kids ranging from 2-15. Everyone had a wonderful time. The game room was a hit with everyone. Many feelings were hurt on the ping pong table! The hot tub was nice. It is a tad on the small size for a large group but we didn’t all want to go in so it worked out. The property was very clean, comfortable, and communication with the host was quick. The road to the property is small and very windy so be aware if that’s a a concern to you.
