About this property

Smoky Mountain Log Cabin for Winter w/ Views, Pool, Hot Tub, Game Room, More!

Welcome to Howlin' at the Moon, one of the extraordinary cabins offered by Moonrise Vacation Properties, LLC, nestled in the serene Smoky Mountains. This remarkable log cabin showcases exquisite craftsmanship with visible beams and natural tongue & groove logs, creating an authentic and rustic charm in the tranquil Smoky Mountain region of Eastern Tennessee. Set on five acres of private land, this peaceful retreat shares its enchanting surroundings with its counterpart, Barkin' at the Moon. Despite its secluded location, you'll be pleased to find that Pigeon Forge's Parkway is just a quick five-minute drive away.

Savor the breathtaking natural beauty while dining on the front porch's table and benches. Inside, the main floor welcomes you with a cozy living room featuring an electric fireplace, a smart TV, and a queen-sized sleeper sofa for added comfort. The dining area boasts a custom-made reclaimed wood table and chairs, as well as bar seating for three. The fully equipped kitchen creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. Additionally, there is a bedroom with a queen-sized bed, a smart TV, and an en-suite bathroom complete with a stand-alone shower, a jetted tub, and a double vanity. For your convenience, a full-sized washer and dryer are provided.

Relax and embrace the serenity of the surroundings on the back porch's double glider. Upstairs, a spacious open loft awaits, offering a smart TV, a queen-sized bed, a rocker, and a shared restroom with an oversized shower. The upstairs bedroom provides cozy nooks and modern amenities while maintaining the rustic ambiance of a true cabin retreat.

The basement level offers endless entertainment, featuring a queen-sized sleeper sofa, a 55" smart TV, board games, a pool table, and a 3000-game arcade unit. The indoor pool and spa provide breathtaking views, and the basement deck is adorned with rocking chairs where you can unwind amidst the tranquility of nature.

The cabin features two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and a loft with a queen bed. Indulge in the indoor pool with jets and an integrated spa, relax in the TV area, or test your skills in the game room with a pool table and arcade game on the basement level. Both levels boast covered decks with stunning views, allowing you to fully appreciate the magnificence of these cabins in the Great Smoky Mountains.

At Howlin' at the Moon, we gladly welcome well-behaved dogs for $35 per dog per night. The dog must be over 12 months old, vaccinated and crated when left alone. Unfortunately, cats are not allowed due to owner allergies.

While the cabin's driveway is steep, it is easily manageable, and a 4WD vehicle is necessary during winter. Each cabin provides parking space for two vehicles in the designated area, with additional vehicles accommodated at the bottom of the drive.

Please note that we do not provide baby gates and do not allow them to be pressure-mounted due to damage to tongue and groove.

NOTE: Government ID required to be sent when rental agreement is signed for booking to be accepted. Primary renter must be age 25 or older, and must remain on site for the reservation term.

The property was great and the communication was fantastic. We were in town for a destination wedding and it was located in a perfect spot to do everything we wanted while we were in the area! The cabin was a little smaller than the images show, but still worked perfectly for us. They’re only a couple of things that I would recommend. One is the cookware. While I am a fan of cast-iron cookware, it should also be complimented with some other options. The hot tub also did not heat up very fast and took a considerable amount of time due to the timer setting. Because we were in and out so much, we never actually got the opportunity for the hot tub to heat up. Overall, the place is great though and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking into staying there.

Centric and very well equipped

I have stayed in many cabins in Tennessee and this one is by far the best equipped cabin and the most centric. It is within 2-3 miles of all the restaurants and attractions yet is far enough up the mountain that it makes you feel peaceful and tranquil. The cabin has a pool that is a bit bigger than the pictures lead you to believe. Owners are great to deal with it and they have paid a lot of attention to the decoration of the cabin as well as making sure you have everything you need to make you feel welcome. This cabin is dog friendly and they make the fury friends feel welcome with their own bed and eating station. Definitely recommend it.

Nice family get away

We selected the cabin to stay in because it was away from the throngs of people in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area, but it was close enough that we could go on excursions there if we desired. We opted to see the many features in the Great Smoky Mountains most of the week, since the cabin was also convenient to that area. The cabin was clean and well furnished. The kitchen had ample supplies to use for cooking and the grill was clean and had plenty of gas to use as well. The pool and hot tub was a great feature for our time away in the mountains. The pool table provided some family entertainment where the kids learned the "old folks" were sharks on the table. The road the cabin is located on is not busy, so it was peaceful sitting on the porch and enjoying the evenings. The entire process was easy and communication with the host was seamless. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this cabin and would definitely use this host again.

The pool needed more water. I spent an hour filling it with water. I did because the pool pump was very loud every night. I finally figured out there was no water going into the pump, it was spitting out air into the pool & the pump run loudly. The pump is under the master bedroom. I could hear it run at night. I thought about messaging the host but it was to late. I wanted to sleep before we left the next day.The cabin needs a deep clean. the furnace filter needs to be changed, the door that pulls the return air is filthy. There is what I believe is a dead reptile underneath the baseboard in the basement level. Under all the couches has lots of pet hair and food. I look under and make sure my kids' toys were not under the furniture. The outlets in the master bath don't work. They are not gfci. Upstairs shower doent drain well.The coffee pot has the clean light on, too. I ran water through it a few times to freshen it before I used it. The washer and dryer closet is dirty.There was no chalk for the pool table. one of the sticks was missing the tip. One of the joysticks is broken on the game console, we couldn't play together. dehumidifiers were full apon arrival and smelled. I dump them out. There was slimy black mold insides of them. We did use them the first day and then turned them off because of mold & it pumped out heat. The carpet smelled like pee.

The Extra Touch

This property was definitely dog friendly. There were leashes, bowls, treats, and even a ball for your pups to play. It was nice to have soap, shampoo, and conditioner already in the showers. What surprised me was their extra touch of cotton swabs, makeup remover, and flossers too! There were plenty of extra towels, toilet paper, and cleaning soaps too. The high chair was also nice to have there already as well as some pool toys. One thing I will say is to bring baby gates if you have small dogs or small kids. The property manager was always quick to respond and kept in touch before, during, and after our trip. We wanted to try the walking trail but it got way too steep to attempt in the rain.

Peaceful Retreat

The cabin was meticulous! The extra little amenities were like being in a five star hotel. Plush towels, hair products in the showers, snacks and coffee. There was even dog shampoo which we unfortunately had to use after our day at the river.☺☺ The owners went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Even though their was a neighbor next door it was so peaceful. We spent the majority of our time on the decks. We did bring our own bag chairs which ended up being a good idea since there is very little seating on the decks. The pool and the hot tub was just perfect for the little ones. We only went into town just once during our 4 night stay but the cabin was pretty close to all the fun in pigeon forge. I don't think you would be sorry renting any one of their properties. We would love to go back. Thank you Jamie!

Beautiful cabin!

I rented this cabin for my in-laws to vacation with us while having their own space. They loved everything about this cabin! The views were great. The cabin was super cozy. There were little snacks and a note left out on arrival that was very thoughtful. The cabins are very private even with another cabin so close by. The pool and hot tub were such neat little features. Since they were inside, it was pretty easy to use them even though it was freezing out! There were so many little details that we appreciated during our stay- the snack box, k-cups for the coffee pot, cozy blankets. There were even dogs bowls and a crate at the cabin that we could use for the dogs. I did need to contact the owner about a small issue with the security system beeping, and they got back to me within a few minutes and were able to fix the issue on their end. Cannot state how much I appreciate their quick response. The cabin was absolutely wonderful to stay in, and the little details really helped elevate the experience and make us want to come back!

Not our top choice

The owners/hosts are very responsive which is a plus. We originally booked this cabin because we wanted an indoor heated pool so my baby could swim and enjoy the pool with us. The pool was too cold for my son to enjoy which was disappointing since he’s the reason we booked this cabin. The location of the cabin wasn’t bad, but the driveway was the biggest downside for us. The driveway was straight up and had a pretty sharp curve in the middle of it making it difficult to go up/down as it’s also narrow. The parking and turn around area at the top is also very tight. I would also recommend bringing your own high chair if you have a little one as the one provided isn’t the best. It is one you attach to a chair but is difficult to put baby in and out of and doesn’t have a lot of room for chunky thighs. The beds were also not very comfortable for us, but maybe it was just too firm for our liking. The cabin was beautiful but there were too many things we didn’t like for us to choose this cabin again in the future.

The cabin was clean, and had all the utensils and supplies you need for a week away. The communication with the host was quick and easy. I'm no expert at renting cabins, but i feel like we got a great deal for 5 nights. Plus, there is a small pool on the bottom level. Came with 2 young children who stayed in the pool as much as they could. The hot tub did not get very hot but it was still nice.

Why they chose this property

It was love at first sight with these cabins! Traveling with a multi-generational crew the layout of these cabins allows for us to travel together and have space privacy for each family. We love the fact that these cabins are on nearly 5 acres, with plenty to explore, and can be rented together or separately.
These cabins hold a sentimental value in that the logs that are in this cabin came from the sawmill that my grandfather and uncle ran when Jaime was a child. Once we learned this fact, we knew it was meant to be!

What makes this property unique

This property is secluded and private, yet 5 minutes from the parkway and the outlet mall!
