It sounds like you enjoyed the Smoky Mountains and the cabin. There is so much to do in the Pigeon Forge area that it can sometimes be hard to have time to enjoy the amenities at Smoky Mountain Splendor. We try to be back just before dinner so we can enjoy some time on the wrap around deck while dinner is cooking. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

This was a spur of the moment, very short trip. Consequently, we did not use all the place had to offer. However, the place was lovely and clean. Beds and furniture were very comfortable. The deck was beautiful. I especially enjoyed the swing and rocking chair on the deck.

This cabin exceeded every expectation! It was incredibly clean, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully stocked with just about everything you could need. You can tell the owners put a lot of care into making guests feel at home.We traveled with our dog, Oliver, and this was hands-down one of the most dog-friendly places we’ve ever stayed. They even had a few toys waiting for him when we arrived! The fenced dog run was amazing and gave us such peace of mind. I was nervous about bringing my dog to the mountains, but this property made it so easy.The cabin was also perfect for hosting my family the evening before my little brother’s wedding. We grilled dinner, had plenty of room for everyone to gather comfortably, and enjoyed the peaceful mountain setting. Even though it feels quiet and secluded, getting into town was easy, and we were even able to get DoorDash delivered on our night in.We absolutely loved our stay and would not hesitate to book this cabin again. Highly recommend!

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Smoky Mountain Splendor. So nice you could celebrate your birthday by getting away together. Our hot tubs do not have those really strong massaging jets. Our tubs are for hydrotherapy, relaxation or pleasure. Not to give you a message. Sorry you were expecting a different kind of hot tub. We look forward to working with you again on your next Smoky Mountain Vacation.

The stay was great. The cabin was beautiful. They provided a long list of activities to make planning the day easier. We asked about early check in and received a long responce about why we shouldn’t ask for that. The house was clean for the most part when we checked in besides a few areas. We found dirty socks on the couch and a few dead bugs in the house.

I try to be as thorough as I can with information. That is why we send out information about the cabin and things to do in the area. Likewise, when someone asks for an early check in, I want to explain why we cannot offer an early check in. So sorry if you felt like I was saying you shouldn't ask. I was just explaining the situation. So sorry our cleaners missed the socks. Our cleaners are very good. But, occasionally can miss something. So glad your stay ws great.

Staying at Smoky Mountain Splendor was a truly exceptional mountain getaway, made perfectly stress-free by the cabin's incredible layout and its thoughtful, high-end pet amenities.

Finding a truly pet-friendly spot can be tough, but Smoky Mountain Splendor was perfect for us and our two dogs. Our favorite feature was the fenced-in yard connected directly to the bedroom—it made morning and late-night let-outs so much more convenient. We also really appreciated that crates were provided; having that especially large one available in the bedroom was awesome and saved us so much packing space. There was plenty of room for everyone to relax, and the host’s list of local pet-friendly activities was a great touch. If you're looking for a comfortable, secure spot for a Smoky Mountain adventure with your furry family members, this is it!

About the host

Hosted by Mary Beth & Bill Schaefer

Host profile image

My husband and I have two young adult children. We have a boy and a girl. They are both still going to school for higher education.
I have been trying to take my children to different National Parks every summer before they get so old they do not want to vacation with us. We hit the Smokies and now we normally spend our time there.
My husband was very resistant to travel on vacation somewhere that was 10 hours away. But, when we got to the cabin, he said I could drag him 10 hours anytime.

Why they chose this property

Smoky Mountain Splendor offers convenience and privacy located just 5 miles from the Pigeon Forge Parkway, 9 miles from Dollywood, only 14 miles to Gatlinburg, 10 miles to the Metcalf Bottoms entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and 25 miles to Cades Cove.

We love the mountain views. The kids love all the activity. They never get bored. I love the hikes in the Great Smoky Mountains. I also love all the history in the area. This seemed like the perfect place for us to buy a vacation home.

What makes this property unique

Smoky Mountain Splendor is an elegant cedar log sided cabin located in the quiet community of Crest View.

Smoky Mountain Splendor is on 2/3 of an acre. It backs to parkland and a farm. You will enjoy roosters in the morning and not much more in the way of noise.

Picturesque country roads lead you to your mountain adventure without the steep climb.

Down the road from Smoky Mountain Splendor find the peaceful side of the Smokies in quintessential town of Townsend. Grab a meal at Firefly Cafe loaded with local charm. Stop off at Little River Railroad and Lumber Company Museum dedicated to preserving the heritage of the region.

There is a dog run off the lower level patio.

There are horse shoe pits in the yard.
