Our cabin is easy to access with less than a half mile of roads with higher than normal grades (10%). Once you make the turn off of the Spur, you'll be unpacking in no time at all! The location can't be beat.

MAIN FLOOR

As soon as you step inside you'll see the kitchen area with breakfast bar where you can enjoy your morning coffee and plan out your day. Just outside, off of the front porch, is a charcoal, park style grill for preparing your favorite meals.

The open layout and log construction of the great room welcomes our guests with a Roku TV above the fireplace and plenty of seating for our two bedroom cabin. There's a rustic dining table in the back of the room where you can enjoy family meals or some evening social time after a day of hiking. Pick up some firewood on your way back from town and build a cozy fire during the cool seasons.

Continue through the living area and through the back door to find our screened in deck. Take a soak in the hot tub, relax on the porch swing, or hang around with friends and family around the custom-crafted patio table. Past guests have reported seeing black bears pass through the yard!

The master bedroom is also on the first floor with a hand-crafted, king-sized bed made by our local carpenter in Delaware. Other amenities include a 43" RokuTV, dresser, chair, and closet. There's also direct access to the full bathroom.

The first floor bath has a tub/shower combo with doors from both the living area and from from the master bedroom.

SECOND FLOOR

Upstairs is the second bedroom with two queen beds. It also has its own full bathroom with a tub/shower combo. Just off of this bedroom is an open, private deck. There is a standard TV with no cable in this bedroom, so bring your favorite streaming device or gaming system!

Please note: Guests must be 25 or older to book. Our maximum occupancy at any time is six guests.

*There is a Sportsman's Club and Shooting Range near (1/4 mile down the mountain) the Sky Harbor community. Once in a while you might hear some target shooting taking place. 99% of shooting occurs during business hours. You may or may not hear it during your stay as we have no control over their operations.*

Overall very nice cabin

Very nice place. Inside was clean a roomy. Big enough for family of 4. Could possibily fit 6. Hot tub water had a bad smell, water was clean just stunk. Trees are very close to cabin and back porch so the view is not that good off the back porch. Overall very nice cabin. Would stay again.

Great location and very clean

Overall extremely happy with our stay. There were a couple of maintenance issues that I relayed to the property owner/manager that included the broken latch on the back door (let in a good bit of cold air) and the fireplace (loved that it was wood burning) insert needed to be replaced. My only real complaint for the stay was that the beds were not comfortable and felt cheap. I feel with some new mattresses, this place would be a fantastic cabin, especially with how clean it was and how cozy the sheet/linens were.

Overall it was a good cabin just needs a few improvements.

The cabin location was fairly convenient to both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.. The streets were steep and narrow in some cases. The cabin lacked some things like a can opener and a flat cookie sheet. We were only given 2 dishwasher tablets for a four night stay. Everything else was good and fit our needs.

Good location overall but few issue with cold weather. Porch door not working and heather would not go higher to heat the cabin. No condition to shower and had to buy for my wife and kids. Could be better with this little details.

Cabin Review

It was advertised with a jetted tub downstairs and there was none. The railing on the stairs leading to the upstairs was loose and did not feel secure, moving when it was held on to. An ectricall cover was missing in the upstairs bedroom and is unsafe. The doors leading to the deck off of this same bedroom were standing open upon arrival Wed evening. There were limited supplies given for the stay....1 roll of PT, 1 dishwasher packet. Towels, TP and other items were well stocked. The firing range close to the house was a definate negative for us. The location was good, 1/2 way between Gat and PF.

Smoky Mountains trip

Nice cabin between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Very clean. Felt like we were up in the trees. Very nice screened in porch. Nicely decorated and homey. Could have had more towels for use in showers and hot tub!!! Kitchen was lacking in supplies, no can opener, no baking sheets! Screened porch could have used some more comfortable chairs. Lastly, the shooting range that was near by should perhaps be listed in the description. The first day we were surprised to hear all the gunshots throughout the afternoon!

No bears in sight cabin! 😊

This was a great property for this mother/daughter/aunts trip. It was close to Pigeon Forge where we spent the most of our time but gave us evenings and mornings in a cozy cabin in the woods. Nice updates and furnishings. Super comfy beds! Great table for playing board games and cards either inside or outside in the screened deck. No time to use the hot tub but it looked clean and lovely. Highly recommend!

Wonderful for Family vacation

This property was amazing! The location was very central to Gatlinburg and Pigeon forge. You are up high enough to have that mountain feel and views but not so high up that it was a rough drive. It was very clean upon arrival. We had everything we needed there. Would definitely recommend! It was the perfect spot for our family of 4 to enjoy some time together before the craziness of the holiday season.

Easy check in and out. The drive is a little difficult to see and navigate especially at night but not really a problem. Just leave the outside light on if you go out after dark.

Love this cute cabin!

10/10 for this stay ! When we arrived, we were early so I messaged Nick and he allowed us to get in early. That was awesome. It was very clean, had everything we needed. The back screened in porch with a swing, and hot tub was amazing! And the view!! Right in the middle of Gatlinburg and PF. This family of 5 absolutely loved it! We’ll definitely be back!

Great time!

We had a great time staying here! Check in and out we’re super easy. We loved the location and the cabin. It was perfect for our family of 4. I’m not even sure I would call the a complaint but the only thing my husband and I found that wasn’t completely perfect was that it was a little dusty in some areas (ceiling fans, ledges, floors under chairs and beds, etc). I know most owners aren’t in the cabins often and don’t see how well the cleaners do, so I wouldn’t blame you guys at all! Otherwise I would say everything was absolutely perfect! I’m sure we will be back!

Great cabin

We loved our stay! Cabin was clean and peaceful. I would just say, if you’re visiting in the winter to be prepared in case you get snowed in. The cabin is up on a mountain hill so it’s not easy to access during a snow storm. But that’s also what makes the view so great!!

About the host

Hosted by Nick

Host profile image
My wife Kristina, daughters Lula and Hattie, and I are excited to share our beautiful vacation rentals with you! Our goal is to provide you with a clean and comfortable stay during your Smoky Mountain vacation with that "home away from home" feel. We take a lot of pride in maintaining our cabins and aim to provide a seamless guest experience. We're always available to answer any questions you may have before, during, and even after your stay.

It only took a couple of visits to east Tennessee for us to fall in love with the area. We love visiting the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, so we decided to invest in properties that we could also share with others. It started out with our four bedroom cabin in Sevierville in 2019, which opened to great reviews.

Our cabins are self-managed, meaning there's no middle man relied upon to take care of any maintenance or upkeep, and no extra management fees. We vet all of the work done to our cabins to make sure jobs are completed thoroughly. If for some reason an issue does arise during your stay, you will be able to contact us directly so that we can make it right.

Beyond managing cabins, Nick is a Coast Guard Reservist and likes to play outside around the property. Kristina works for a local school district, likes to travel, and enjoys family time as much as Dad does. Between two little ones, two ponies, and several chickens, there's never a dull moment in our household! We usually come to East Tennessee at least quarterly to stay at one of our properties and often bring along family and friends. There's always something new to see or do in the area, especially with the change of seasons.

Thank you for considering our properties and we look forward to hosting you!
