New! Game Time Retreat! Waterfall, Galaxy Pool, Rooftop Theater, Sauna, Hot Tub!
Summary:
Game Time Retreat is where play meets relaxation. Kids race down the bunk room slide, friends compete in the arcade-packed EPIC game room, and in the evenings gather around the fire pit as a waterfall cascades before you. Swim together beneath the stars in the galaxy-lit pool, watch movies on the rooftop theater, or unwind in the forest-view barrel sauna. With 8 en-suite bedrooms, 2 living areas, and dog-friendly comfort, this Smoky Mountain escape blends fun, relaxation, and lasting memories.
The Space:
Waterfall • Galaxy Pool • Rooftop Theater
Sleeps 33 • Dog Friendly
Game Time Retreat is more than a stay in a cabin - it's relaxing by the peaceful waterfall by firelight, galaxies glowing above your swim, movies unfolding under mountain stars, and a sauna where silence and relaxation meet the forest. A Smoky Mountain escape your group will never forget, where memories are made and your dogs are also welcome.
The Waterfall Patio
The fire pit patio is the soul of the retreat. Flames glow softly as the waterfall cascades before you, its sound rolling through the mountain air. Evenings here stretch long, filled with conversation and laughter against a backdrop that feels almost unreal. In the mornings, mist rises from the falls as you sip coffee and watch the mountains wake. Four bedrooms face this view, so the waterfall is never far—it anchors your stay from first light to nightfall.
The Galaxy Pool
By day, the pool is alive with laughter and play. Kids splash, friends float, and everyone gathers to enjoy time together in the warm water. By night, the room transforms—constellations scatter across the ceiling while the northern lights ripple overhead. A swim becomes something magical, as if you’re drifting beneath the cosmos while relaxing.
Rooftop Terrace & Theater
High above the trees, the rooftop terrace opens to sweeping Smoky Mountain views. Share dinner outdoors as the sky shifts into sunset, then turn to the telescope for a closer look at the constellations overhead. When night deepens, the screen lights up for your own outdoor movie theater under the stars. Cool breezes, stargazing, and films framed by the mountain sky make evenings here unforgettable.
The Sauna Retreat
When it’s time to slow down, the barrel sauna offers relaxation and restoration. Heat settles in as you look through a wide window into the forest. The distant sound of the waterfall drifts through the silence, turning each session into a private retreat.
The Game & Play Spaces
The fun doesn’t stop at the water’s edge. Inside, an epic game room delivers hours of entertainment, with arcade favorites like Pac-Man, Big Buck Hunter, and Fast & Furious racing, plus shuffleboard, pool, and Boomerang Air Hockey. All games are free - no quarters are required!
Step outside and the energy continues with your own putt-putt golf course and cornhole boards for friendly competition. And when it’s time to capture the moment, strike a pose in front of the glowing grass wall proudly declaring “Living the Good Life.”
The Relaxing Hot Tub
After a fun day, relax in the private hot tub overlooking the trees on the back of the house. It's completely drained, cleaned and refilled before every check in and is on the back of the house for privacy.
Sleep in Comfort
With eight en-suite bedrooms, every guest enjoys space and privacy. Seven king suites (three with pull-out beds) provide comfort and flexibility. The queen-over-queen bunk room - with XL twin trundles under each bunk bed - and even a tube slide turns bedtime into an adventure. Two living areas means plenty of room to spread out: one with vaulted ceilings for gatherings, and another anchored by a cozy fireplace for nights spent winding down together.
Four-Season Escape
Set against the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, this retreat delivers something unforgettable in every season—fiery autumn leaves, snowy holiday nights, fresh spring mornings, and long summer days around the pool.
Here, waterfalls roar by firelight, galaxies shimmer above midnight swims, movies unfold under mountain stars, and a sauna melts stress into silence. Dog-friendly and built for connection, this is the Smoky Mountain escape your group will never forget.

Game Time was EVERYTHING our family was hoping for during our Smoky Mountain vacation. Our host was helpful with any questions about the house but also tips for navigating the area. The house was clean, very spacious and had all of the amenities described.

Stayed with 3 families. Plenty of space. All rooms were spacious and comfortable each with their own bathroom. Kids had a great time in the pool. Host was very responsive. Property was in a community and was not difficult to get to. Would not hesitate to stay again or recommend to others.
Our stay at the cabin was absolutely wonderful. The cabin itself was beautiful and there were so many things to do, which made the experience even better. We actually had a small wedding there, and the terrace was the perfect spot for our ceremony. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable, and the views were absolutely amazing.The host was also great to work with—very responsive, helpful, and made sure everything went smoothly for our stay and special day. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate such an important moment. Highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a beautiful and memorable getaway!

The property was very nice, and my friends and I enjoyed it a lot. The host was great with communication and extremely kind. There was so much to do at the cabin that we never got bored during our stay. The price was also very reasonable compared to other cabins that offer similar amenities. I would highly recommend staying here.

Thank you for your great review, Caleb! We are happy that you liked so many things about Game Time Retreat and were never bored! We set out to make this cabin someplace where there was plenty of ways to have fun, so your review means a lot to us. Thank you for highly recommending other people stay at Game Time Retreat.
This was our group’s 14th annual retreat to Gatlinburg, but our first time booking with this property and owners, Josh and Kimberly. What a fantastic experience! The house was beautiful and perfect for our needs (28 guests). The location is convenient and easy to find. As hosts, Josh and Kimberly were great communicators and easy to work with. I look forward to working with them again next year!- Clean Pool & Hot Tub- Easy check-in and check-out- Great location & Spacious parking- “As advertised” from start to finish!

Thank you for leaving us and Game Time Retreat an awesome review, Tim! We are thrilled that you loved so many things about the cabin and our hosting. We are sincerely looking forward to the next time you stay at Game Time Retreat!
I loved everything about Game Time. Liked we all had our own private bathrooms. Beds were very comfortable and plenty of washcloths and towels were provided. It was well stocked. The beds were very comfortable. Location were in a great area not in the mountains. Cabin was 20 minutes drive to parkway. The swimming pool was nice and warm. The game room was very entertaining. I really love the outdoor firepit.

Thank you so much for leaving Game Time Retreat a great review! We are very happy that you loved everything about the cabin including the comfortable beds and game room. We agree about the roads to the cabin, they make it easy to get to and from the cabin. We hope you stay at Game Time Retreat again in the future.
My husband, dogs and I had a fantastic stay at Game Time Retreat. We wanted somewhere we could spend a time without having to go out much, and this place is it - there is so much to do and so much space to enjoy! The house was spotless and although there were only two of us, I could imagine this would be amazing for a larger group. Communication was fantastic - Kim and Josh checked in to make sure everything was going well and kept us abreast of other updates. It was chilly while we were there and it would have been nice to have used the outdoor areas more, but they were great, too. Every part of our stay was truly perfect.

Thank you so much for your awesome review! We are very happy that you all had a fantastic stay at Game Time Retreat! We are also happy that you didn't need to even leave to have a great time. You were an awesome guest and we hope that you stay at Game Time Retreat again in the future.
We had an amazing stay at this cabin! Our group included 28 people ranging from elderly family members to a baby, and the cabin was perfect for everyone. The owner was very accessible and quick to respond throughout our stay, which made everything stress-free and enjoyable. They were incredibly accommodating, kind, and easy to work with from start to finish.The amenities were outstanding and truly made this place special. The indoor pool, putt-putt course, and arcade games kept everyone entertained, and the kids absolutely loved the slide in one of the rooms—it was a huge hit! There was something for every age, which made it perfect for a large, multi-generational group like ours.The cabin was spacious, well-maintained, and very welcoming. It’s not easy to find a place that comfortably accommodates such a large group, but this one exceeded our expectations. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for your amazing review, Donna! We are thrilled that everyone in your group had a great time, and that it was perfect for everyone! Thank you for mentioning some of the many things you enjoyed at Game Time Retreat. We are very happy the kids loved the slide and everyone had fun things to do! We hope that you stay at the cabin again in the future.
If this 8 bedroom cabin meets your bedding requirements then look no further than this cabin. You will not find a nicer, more well equipped place to stay. It was extremely clean! This place looks brand new from top to bottom. Everything you could possibly need is provided, and all of it seems be be new and high quality stuff at that! The indoor pool, putting greens, outdoor theatre, fire pit, water fall, game room and the list goes on - everything perfect. Kitchen is well equipped with new utensils and appliances. Josh and Kimberly are very gracious hosts, responding to every question we had very quickly. We held our family Thanksgiving this weekend, and everyone agreed this was the best cabin we've ever rented for our holiday. We will most definitely be repeat customers!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are very happy that you loved so many things about the cabin, and appreciate you taking the time to list some of the things that you liked. We are also happy that you enjoyed our hosting and responsiveness! We love creating great experiences for our guests, so that means a LOT to us. We are looking forward to you staying at Game Time Retreat again in the future!
The host was friendly and very responsive, but for what we paid I did expect a little more from him other than the response that everything was 6months old and should work. The dishwasher didn’t work, the. Fire pit worked 2 nights and quit. The telescope was broken and we had our wedding reception there with special thank you cards made with a star app that allowed guests to find a star we named. So that was huge reason we chose to thank guests that way and nothing was compensated back to us for the loss of those two things. You do need to buy extra toilet paper, and if you do have the allowed number of guests to the cabin plan on paying the extra trash pickup fee or you will have to keep it in the cabin. For the amount you pay and amount of guests I do feel there should be an extra pickup. The jacuzzi with a large group over a weeks time should be checked we didn’t use it the last 3 days because it did get foggy and gross. I loved the cabin size itself other than the futons are considered double in the rooms and unless you’re really tiny that won’t work, annd they’re just not comfortable to sleep on. Other than those things we really did enjoy our stay there. The host of the property was kind and I do understand people trash things that aren’t theirs but I was a little upset we couldn’t get the full use of what was offered in the description. Would I stay again yes, but it would have to be with less people as we had to get two cabins for a week

Thank you for your feedback. We did confirm that the firepit was working properly after your stay, I’m sorry you were unable to get it to work for part of your visit. I wish you had let us know the dishwasher wasn't working properly before you checked out. The latch has since been fixed. As noted in our check-in instructions, we encourage guests to reach out right away if anything isn’t working so we can address it quickly—our team is typically able to respond within a few hours, as we did for the other couple items you contacted us about. We would have been happy to do the same for the dishwasher and telescope had we known sooner. The hot tub is fully drained and cleaned prior to each stay; certain products like lotions can sometimes affect water clarity, as outlined in our guest information. We didn't charge any fee to pick up the trash. It is rare for a pickup to be needed during stays but we can and do have the cleaning company pick up trash when it is needed. We take great pride in maintaining the property and responding promptly when needed, and we appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention.

About the host
Hosted by Josh and Kimberly Heuser
We have loved the Gatlinburg area for many years, so we are super excited to have a luxury cabin for people to enjoy, that is close to both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We have earned VRBO Premier Host status for a several years.
Creating great guest experiences is extremely important to us! We have great reviews at our other two properties "The Blue Moon" and The Sandpiper", both of which are in the Outer Banks. You can search those names and VRBO together if you want to see our great reviews there, and see why guests love staying in our luxury properties.
Why they chose this property
Game Time Retreat is near the top of a mountain, but there are no super steep roads to get to the cabin. Any car can get there, all roads are paved and four wheel drive is NOT required. It's also close to so many fun things to do nearby!
What makes this property unique
This cabin has more amenities than just about any other cabin in the area. How many cabins have their own private waterfall? We've checked and couldn't find any :)
Game Time Retreat also has an outdoor theater, indoor pool, hot tub, sauna, fire pit, epic game room, outdoor games, and much more!
