Hillside Retreat, Modern 2BR Cabin | Hot Tub, Pool Table & Fire Pit

Built in 2022, this beautiful two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath cabin combines classic Smoky Mountain warmth with comfortable modern style. Tucked into a wooded hillside in Sevierville, it offers a convenient home base for exploring Dollywood, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and the Great Smoky Mountains.

The bright, open main level features soaring wood ceilings, large windows, a cozy fireplace, and plenty of room to relax together. The fully stocked kitchen includes modern appliances, generous counter space, and a breakfast bar, while the adjoining dining area makes it easy to enjoy meals as a group.

Downstairs, guests can enjoy a friendly game of pool before settling into one of the two comfortable bedrooms. With two full bathrooms and an additional half bath, the cabin is especially well suited for two couples or a small family.

Outside, unwind in the covered hot tub, enjoy a meal on the deck, gather around the wood-burning fire pit, or relax on the hillside patio. There is also a charcoal grill for outdoor cooking.

The cabin is approximately 15 minutes from Dollywood, 20 minutes from The Island in Pigeon Forge, and 25 minutes from downtown Gatlinburg. Drive times are approximate and may vary depending on traffic and the time of year.
