About this property

Living the Dream - Awesome Mountain Views, Theater Room, Pool Access!!

Welcome to Living the Dream, where breathtaking mountain views, exceptional luxury, and an unbeatable location come together for the ultimate Smoky Mountain getaway. Perched near the top of Gatlinburg Falls Resort, this beautifully appointed five-bedroom cabin offers panoramic views that stretch for miles while placing you just two miles from downtown Gatlinburg, minutes from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and a short drive to Dollywood and Pigeon Forge.

Designed for unforgettable family vacations and group retreats, Living the Dream comfortably accommodates up to 16 guests with five luxurious king master suites, each featuring its own fireplace, private bathroom, Smart TV, and premium linens, creating a private retreat for every guest.

The heart of the cabin is the open-concept great room, where soaring windows showcase spectacular mountain vistas, a stunning stone fireplace invites you to unwind, and the fully equipped kitchen makes everything from casual breakfasts to holiday feasts effortless. Gather around the custom dining table, enjoy coffee while the sun rises over the Smokies, or spend the evening sharing stories as the mountains fade into brilliant sunsets.

Entertainment is thoughtfully designed for every generation. Challenge family and friends to arcade games, digital pinball, shuffleboard, or multiplayer competitions in the expansive game room, then settle into the private theater with seating for 13 for an unforgettable movie night or the big game on the projection screen.

Outside, three spacious decks invite you to fully experience the beauty of the Smokies. Relax in the bubbling hot tub overlooking endless mountain views, enjoy peaceful mornings in the rocking chairs, or gather with loved ones as the cool mountain air and unforgettable scenery create the perfect ending to each day.

Whether you're hiking nearby trails, exploring Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, or simply staying in to enjoy the incredible amenities, Living the Dream offers the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and mountain adventure. It's more than a cabin—it's a place where traditions begin, memories are made, and you'll find yourself returning year after year.

This cabin was perfect for our getaway with friends! Super clean, spacious, decorated beautifully, fun arcade games, theater and a hot tub. We did get to see a bear right outside our door. Perfect location to downtown Gatlinburg but tucked away from the bustle of the crowd. 10/10- this is definitely our new Gatlinburg getaway cabin!

Stunning Cabin with Breathtaking Views

We had an incredible stay at this cabin! The location is absolutely perfect, offering amazing views that made every moment unforgettable. We even spotted a black bear while enjoying breakfast on the deck—such a unique and exciting experience!The layout of the cabin was fantastic, with each king room featuring its own private bathroom and fireplace, which made it comfortable and luxurious for everyone in our group. It was the perfect mix of privacy and shared spaces.Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with stunning scenery. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Size and Location

The property was extremely clean the bedrooms were adequately apart with three teenagers each one got their own room which was very peaceful for the adults normally when I stay in Gatlinburg I choose a Cabin more off the grid but wanted to take a chance at this one being closer to town there are several surrounding cabins I have to say the convenience of the location and size of this cabin was a perfect fit for us the arcade in the basement was a big hit ! I would definitely rent again!!

Living the dream

It was like living the dream staying here. The views were stunning and plenty of room for us and our guest. We had 14 people. The only issue was the TV's didn't work for the majority of our stay. I think they got them fixed the day before we left. I wasn't concerned with the TV but we had elderly people that weren't as active as the rest of us. So it was hard for them. It was hard to stream as well because the internet service seemed to be out too. The toilet and one sink there was an issue but I feel like they fixed that in a timely manner. Overall the cabin and the views were outstanding. We did have several bear sightings during our stay right out side the door. It was awesome. I would recommend this place and would stay here again

We understand how important these amenities are, especially for our elderly guests. We’re glad that the maintenance team was able to address the issues with the toilet and sink promptly. We appreciate your understanding and patience, and we're delighted to hear that you would recommend our place and stay with us again. We look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable stay!

Nice but needs some tech support

Fire places are just electric heaters. Now I see this clearly in pictures, but didn’t look close enough at first. Touts a theater room, which was nice, except there is no sound! I called property management, and they basically told me that their other units have far worse issues and I won’t be getting help. Pots and pans are technically there, but they are in such bad shape they were literally unusable. Still, fantastic views, kids loved the hot tub and arcade, and the layout is great for multiple families.

Response from VrboOwner on 15 Nov, 2021
What you just stated did not happen, We sent a theater guy up to the cabin and you refused to let him in and you were not told there were units with far worse issues. New pots and pans out in a few months ago. Please tell the truth when leaving reviews. You need to go back and correct this review.
