About this property

Perfect location between Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and the Great Smoky Mountains

We invite you to stay in our very much loved cabin in the peaceful Smoky Mountains. We have all stainless steel appliances, two Bedroom Master Suites with a Jacuzzi tub in each. 5-person hot tub and 3 decks to experience the serenity of the mountains, while staying in a real wood cabin. We aim to provide a comfortable stay for our guests as a base to travel into the Great Smoky Mountains and the surrounding activities in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.
Free Spirit is nestled almost perfectly between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge in a serene mountain setting. It is only minutes to all attractions and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

You will find that our cabin is unique and very spacious. It sleeps five people comfortably . Two small children could fit on the loft futon, making it possible for six with children. Two families with children, or one large family would also be comfortable in Free Spirit. This cabin has two master suites with full private bath/shower combination as well as a Jacuzzi in each of the two private bedrooms. The open concept living room/kitchen/dining room make it a perfect place for family and friends to gather and the upstairs loft with pool table and TV is a great place for the kids (big and small) to hang out.

And who wants to stay indoors with the magnificent mountains at your doorstep.
Our three decks bring the indoors out so you can relax and have coffee on the upper deck from the bedroom or sit on the deck while grilling burgers and sharing laughs. On a clear night there is a wonderful view of the sky and stars in all their glory. Don’t forget to enjoy an evening in the hot tub under our covered deck all while feeling close to nature!

We have made available for your convenience maps and brochures of restaurants and area attractions such as Dollywood, Dolly Parton's Stampede, Ripley’s Aquarium, The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Cades Cove, Outlet Malls and The Gatlinburg Arts and the Crafts Community. There is also a Hiker's Guide to the Smoky Mountains in the cabin. It describes all trails in the Smokies in alphabetical order.

Free Spirit is located within 20 minutes of the Sugarlands Visitor's Center entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains. It is great for hikers looking for a little relaxation after a big hike in the Smokies.
Mounted on the laundry room door is a relief map of the Smokies showing many beautiful areas in the park. There is also a large framed relief map of a large part of the Southern Appalachian Mountains in the game room upstairs.
We can provide a list of local trails and directions to Cades Cove which is one of the most popular areas in the park to see wildlife and an unusual homesite cove in the heart of the park.
Roger has hiked every trail in the park and is a member of the Smoky Mountains 900 milers club. He is happy to answer any questions about the trails a potential hiker would want to know.

After that serious through hike in the park, return to the outside hot tub or the comfortable jacuzzi in your private bedroom.

With all the following amenities we are sure you will have a blessed time in these mountains and create lots of precious memories.

For the security of our guests and our property from humans and animals only, we have a camera to watch over the driveway.

The cabin was awesome! It was beautiful and had everything we needed. The hot tub was great after walking around the towns or trails all day! Lots of communication with the owner about checking in and with directions about getting to the house. The one thing to note is that there were some very curvy, uphill roads (and the driveway) leading to the house which could be challenging especially at night. Perfect location for going to Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and the Smoky Mountains National Park.

Thank you for your nice review. We're glad you enjoyed your stay. We understand the road up is very small, and steep. And it's not for everyone. But we love living on the ridge and w have a choice of where to go and play. Most of the time it's the Smokies. Thanks again and hope to see you back.

We are so glad you had a great stay in Free Spirit. That location was a big reason we bought it. We can either go to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, or take the bypass to the Great Smokies. For us, it is usually the Smokies. Thanks again for your stay and such nice review. Hope to see you back soon.
