The Space:

The crisp mountain air greets you as you step onto the private patio, and the scent of pine mingles with the glow of the wood‑burning fireplace. Snow‑kissed peaks frame the cabin, while the private hot tub steams invitingly under the clear winter sky. Inside, the sound of arcade machines and the clack of pool balls promise endless indoor fun.



Sleeping arrangements

Three distinct sleeping areas accommodate up to ten guests. The Suite offers a queen bed, an en‑suite bathroom, and streaming TV. Moonshiner’s Rest also features a queen bed with nearby bathroom access and streaming TV. Loft Lookout provides two queen beds and easy access to a full bath in the hall. A pull‑out queen sofa bed in the living room adds extra sleeping space when needed.



Living spaces

A spacious living area centers around the wood‑burning fireplace, perfect for slow winter mornings and cozy evenings. A 40‑inch Smart TV with cable sits nearby, and a dedicated workspace with fast wifi supports work or study needs.



Game room & entertainment

When the weather keeps you inside, the cabin offers a pool table, arcade games, board games, and a NERF Battle Station. Each bedroom includes TV access, so you can unwind at your own pace.



Outdoor living

The private hot tub remains available year‑round, offering a warm retreat surrounded by chilled mountain air. A charcoal and gas grill lets you cook outdoors whenever you like, and the private patio and backyard provide fresh‑air space. The resort pool is seasonal and opens from Memorial Day through Labor Day.



Kitchen & dining

A fully stocked kitchen supplies everything needed for breakfasts, hearty dinners, and snacks after a day on the slopes. A dining table invites everyone to share meals and stories.



Essentials & conveniences

The cabin is pet‑friendly and includes bathroom essentials, bedroom and laundry basics, room‑darkening shades, free parking, a private entrance, and an EV charger. A washer and dryer make longer stays easy, and safety features include a smoke alarm, carbon monoxide alarm, fire extinguisher, first‑aid kit, and a security camera facing the driveway and entry stairs.



Neighborhood

Tucked quietly behind Soaky Mountain Waterpark, the cabin is a short walk from The Parkway in Pigeon Forge, with dining, attractions, and seasonal mountain activities nearby. Gatlinburg’s shops, distilleries, and scenic drives are also within easy reach, especially appealing during the crisp winter months.

Guest Access:

Your Own Private Bootlegger’s Hideout in the Smokies!



Ain’t no need to dodge revenuers or get lost in the backwoods—this full private cabin rental is easy to find on any phone or vehicle GPS. No steep, winding, or outlaw-style roads here—just smooth, easy driving straight to your personal speakeasy in the mountains! No 4-wheel drive required, no matter the season.



The Neighborhood:

This hideout ain’t just about layin’ low—it’s got some perks fit for a high-rolling moonshiner! The neighborhood features a shared seasonal watering hole (a.k.a. the pool), perfect for cooling off from May through September after a long day of dodgin’ revenuers.



Need a spot to swap tall tales and feast like an outlaw? The covered community picnic pavilion is the perfect place to gather your gang, fire up the grill, and toast to another successful getaway in the Smokies!



So grab your best bootlegging buddies and make yourself at home—the good times (and good company) are waiting!



Getting Around:

This property is easy to access with any vehicle and is all on 2 land roads leading to this cabin. A vehicle is necessary when staying at this property as public transportation is not available.



Other Things to Note:

Bootlegger-Approved for Tiny Outlaws & Furry Sidekicks!

We know even the toughest moonshiners travel with their mini bandits and four-legged deputies, so we’ve got you covered:

* Dog Crate Included – Because even your loyal hound needs a safe spot to stash their loot.

* Pack & Play Included – A perfect hideout for the littlest bootleggers.

* High Chair Provided – No need to prop the baby up on a moonshine barrel (unless you want to).

Wonderful Cabin!

This cabin was perfect for our trip to Sevierville. It was extremely clean, teen friendly, and perfect for our family. The nerf wall made my 13 year old grandson’s trip very fun. We will definitely come back to Ryes and Shine! Appleby’s

Long weekend

Cabin was clean and as listed. The pool table and nerf guns made for fun times with kids and family. We chose this cabin because of good reviews and pet friendly. It lives up to the hype, and while it is a pet friendly cabin you couldn’t tell dogs have stayed there. Thanks for the stay!

Fun but not big enough for 8 adults

We were supposed to have 8 adults with us but only had 6. It was the perfect size and we had fun but 2 more adults would have made the place crowded.

Wonderful mountain cabin

Everything was just perfect. Justin was very available even for the smallest request. We couldn't figure out how to get the TV to work and so he sent the maintenance person over right away which was really great. The kitchen had everything we needed right down to three different cutting boards. And the jacuzzi was enjoyed by all in the frosty weather.

The best!

I’m a local and I’ve stayed in several cabins in the Sevierville/Pigeon Forge area. Let me just say…We loved this cabin! The nerf gun wall was amazing! Nerf gun bullets everywhere but so easy to clean up! The hot tub was super clean! The porch was cozy. The cabin was very clean and the decor was perfect! The location was just a short 20 min drive to the heart of Pigeon Forge! Justin was very nice and very responsive! 100% recommend! Pet friendly and it doesn’t even smell like pets have ever been in this cabin! 🙌

Perfect for intimate get together!

Spent the weekend here with my boyfriend and our friend group of other couples + my dog. It was big enough for 9 of us but small enough to feel intimate. It was very easy to find and get to. No scary edge-of-the-mountain roads! Loved the open loft because it allowed some of us to play pool upstairs but still communicate and not feel left out from what was going on downstairs. We definitely made memories with the nerf guns and LOVED the hot tub with the TV and the porch lights. It was such a fun atmosphere. The place also came with a crate…And had a dog bed and water bowl outside on the porch. So thoughtful! 30 minutes from Gatlinburg or Knoxville! I think our group of 9 was perfect but probably would’ve felt cramped with anymore than that. Only issue we really had was the pillows (over stuffed and hard) so would just suggest bringing your own. Would definitely come back!

Family vacation

The house was clean overall but definitely needed a deep clean. While cooking cobwebs were falling from ceiling. There was something yucky on the couch not sure if nail polish or something else but had to sit around it. One bean bag was torn and sort of repaired for corn hole, but the repair (part of a old washcloth piece taped on corner) fell off. Like the idea of hot tub being drained and cleaned before arriving but water took 2 days to heat up and then there was a odor once it did. Not sure if the chlorine levels were correct? Nerf gun station was in need of update since a lot of the guns were broken or unusable. Our boys were disappointed that they didn't work. Loved porch swings, memory book, 2 bathrooms and space to move about. Cabin is very beautiful just thought I'd share the things we noticed to help make the next experience better. Thank you

Great Cabin - Nice Location - Good Size

The cabin had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable, and the porch and hot tub were great! The location was convenient for what we needed (TSSAA State Golf Tournament), a short drive to Sevierville and Pigeon Forge also. The keypad was one of the easiest of a rental we have ever used!! Recommend this cabin to others! Note: there is only parking for 2 vehicles.
