Newly Renovated Log Cabin + Hot Tub + Fireplace + Loft Arcade + Sleeps 4

Entire Log Cabin | 1 Bedroom + Loft | 1 Bathroom | Sleeps 4 | Private Hot Tub | Dog Friendly

Midnight Laurel is a privately owned, true log cabin tucked into the wooded hills just 9 minutes from Pigeon Forge — offering a private hot tub, a double-sided gas fireplace, a soaker tub, and a loft with an arcade game, all wrapped in authentic log cabin walls and surrounded by trees on two sides.

This is a whole-home rental — your group has the entire cabin, the full outdoor space, and the hot tub exclusively. No shared areas, no other guests on property.

Midnight Laurel is designed primarily as a romantic couples retreat, but the loft sleeping and entertainment space makes it equally well-suited for a small family or a couple traveling with kids.

THE CABIN
The cabin offers one main-floor bedroom, a loft sleeping area, and one full bathroom — comfortably accommodating up to 4 guests.

Main Floor Bedroom
King bed dressed in navy bedding with soft cream accents, a luggage rack, clothing storage, and a dedicated HD Roku TV for comfortable in-bed viewing. The double-sided gas fireplace opens directly into this room — there's nothing quite like falling asleep with a glowing fire on a cold Smoky Mountain night.

The Loft
The open loft upstairs offers twin-over-twin bunk beds, a classic arcade game, board games, a play tent, and its own small HD Roku TV. For couples traveling with kids, this is the ideal setup — children have their own adventure space upstairs while adults enjoy the privacy and amenities of the main floor.

Bathroom
One full private bathroom on the main floor with toilet and shower. A freestanding soaker tub is tucked just off the main bedroom — a popular feature for couples celebrating anniversaries or honeymoons.

OUTDOOR LIVING
Midnight Laurel's outdoor spaces are its defining feature. Multiple decks and a wraparound porch give you different settings morning to night.

Private Hot Tub
A four-person hot tub on the back deck, wrapped in string lights and surrounded by trees. This is the most-mentioned feature in guest reviews — secluded, private, and genuinely beautiful in the evenings.

Propane Fire Table
The side deck features a propane fire table with comfortable seating — perfect for a glass of wine after dinner or a quiet conversation without a screen in sight. Propane is provided; if the tank runs out, guests may have it exchanged and submit the receipt for reimbursement.

Front Deck
Two wooden gliders face out toward the trees — the right spot for morning coffee in mountain air.

Outdoor Dining
An outdoor dining table seats 4 for al-fresco meals. A propane grill is available for cookouts (same propane reimbursement policy applies).

The wooded setting on two sides creates a sense of genuine seclusion — this doesn't feel like a rental neighborhood, it feels like a private mountain retreat.

THE KITCHEN
A full kitchen with live-edge granite countertops and stainless steel appliances: full-size refrigerator and freezer, stove and oven, microwave, and dishwasher. Fully stocked with cookware, utensils, dishes, glassware, coffee mugs, and grill tools.

The copper-top dining table seats 4 and doubles as a game table or workspace.

Coffee bar: drip coffee maker plus a Keurig, with pods, filters, sugar, creamer, and tea bags provided. Mornings are unhurried here.

THE LIVING ROOM
The living room centers on the double-sided gas fireplace with a dramatic black stacked-stone surround — it opens to both the living area and the main bedroom simultaneously, filling the main floor with warmth and ambiance. A large HD Roku TV completes the space for movie nights in.

WHY MIDNIGHT LAUREL STANDS OUT;

True log cabin construction (not a prefab chalet), a private hot tub, a double-sided fireplace that warms both the bedroom and living room simultaneously, a soaker tub, and a loft that solves the kid-space problem elegantly — all within 9 minutes of Pigeon Forge. Most cabins at this price point offer one or two of these features. This one offers all of them, at a size that keeps it intimate rather than overwhelming.

This is the cabin guests describe as "exactly what we pictured when we imagined a Smoky Mountain getaway."
