About this property

Kickback Kabin | Amazing Mtn Views + Close to Top Attractions!

You’ll say “wow” every morning at Kickback Kabin, a peaceful retreat with breathtaking mountain views from a spacious wraparound deck. Whether you're soaking in the hot tub, sipping coffee in the crisp air, or simply enjoying the stillness of the Smokies, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom cabin is the perfect escape for up to six guests.

Inside, you’ll be welcomed by an open-concept living space with cathedral ceilings and a wall of windows that flood the cabin with natural light and frame stunning forest and mountain views. Relax on plush furniture in front of the flat-screen TV, or head outside to the deck for some fresh air and scenery. Kindly note that the living room fireplace is temporarily out of service.

The fully equipped kitchen features plenty of counter space, cabinets, and all the cookware and appliances you need to whip up meals. Just stock up on groceries in Gatlinburg and you’re all set. Dine indoors at the cozy table, or take it outside for a true mountain breakfast. You’ll also enjoy access to three seasonal community pool areas, complete with foosball, ping pong, and billiards for added fun.

When it’s time to wind down, you’ll have a king-size bed, TV, and ceiling fan in the primary bedroom, a comfortable queen-size bed in the second room, and two twin beds in the third—perfect for kids. Two full bathrooms and a washer/dryer add extra convenience during your stay.

Kickback Kabin is ideally located for exploring Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains. From hiking and horseback riding to ziplining, golf, and Dollywood thrills, there’s no shortage of adventure nearby.

Please note: The driveway to Kickback Kabin is very steep and can be challenging, especially for standard vehicles. A four-wheel-drive vehicle is strongly recommended year-round for peace of mind—and is absolutely essential in winter weather. That said, the drive up is absolutely worth it for the stunning, year-round Smoky Mountain views that await you at the top!

Whether you’re planning a cozy winter escape or a summer getaway surrounded by lush, green mountain views, Kickback Kabin delivers the comfort, scenery, and location to make your Smoky Mountain vacation unforgettable.

Book today and get ready to kick back in the beauty of the mountains!

*Please Note: Due to the mountainous terrain of the Smoky Mountains and the surrounding area, guests are required to arrive in a high-profile vehicle equipped with All-Wheel Drive or Four-Wheel Drive during the winter season and strongly recommended to do so year-round. Access roads leading to some of our properties may include narrow roads, gravel, and/or paved surfaces, and steep grades.*

The view is very pretty, the house was clean and had a lot of the things needed for daily use (coffee maker, dishes, washer/drier, Etc.) The Hot tub want really warm enough and the jets didn't really work well, but that was a small thing for us. The only thing I would caution about is the turn into the driveway. We decided to Uber everywhere rather than try to navigate it every time we went somewhere. Overall, it was a perfect place to spend our honeymoon. Thank you so much for opening your home to us 3

Nice secluded get away

The property was everything as advertised. The family had a wonderful experience. Hot tub was put to use every evening, and we even had the opportunity to see a black bear fairly close before we had to scare it away.

Excellent views and property

This house was absolutely beautiful. Very clean and we had such an awesome time. The road up to the house and driveway did require some skill to turn around, but it was worth it. The hot tub was so nice after days of really long hikes and it was nice to have a big kitchen where I could cook when we didn’t want to eat out. I highly recommend this property.

Very private better not be driving anything bigger then a small suv won’t make the turn into the property. We had to back out every time we left which isn’t a huge deal just aggravating. The surrounding properties are little rough. House is nice just a little outdated but was accommodating. Would be nice if they told you the code to enter is for the back door. Tried for half a hour to enter the code in the front door till it shut down. Walked around property and found the back door had a digital lock too.

Driveway was treacherous

Pay attention to the previous reviews about the driveway and make sure to be there before dark. The driveway has a drop off on one side and the mountain on the other. Due to the angle that it hits the road, we had to drive up it backwards. Also, the beds upstairs are very old and hard. They are not pillow tops or foam. Place was clean, spacious and had everything you need.

Beautiful Views

The cabin itself was very beautiful and clean. Pros: the view, clean, hot tub, enough room for six of us, close to the parkway. Cons: no internet service and no response from property manager on how to fix, uncomfortable bed upstairs, upstairs shower was SO tiny (I’m 5’3 140 pounds), the driveway was very hard to navigate…we eventually found what worked for us and it ended up being fine. A big SUV would definitely not make it up. All in all we enjoyed our stay and had a great time!!

Pricey for minimal amenities

Beautiful location. Needs a deep clean, bathroom needs repainted, hot tub should be elevated to allow better views from the deck. Better and more towels should be provided. Cooking was a nightmare due to lack of sufficient pots and pans. Driveway is also a pain. For the price, we expected a better amenities. Booked this house for our stay last minute, but there are definitely better suited cabins that give you more bang for your buck if you book ahead of time.

Beautiful Views, Steep Driveway, Definitely Recommend

We had a very nice week at the Kickback Kabin. Overall, I would recommend this as a nice place to stay with wonderful views. It is a simple place without a lot of frills but, it was just right for a mountain retreat while we explored Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The home has all of the essentials and everything was in good working order. While we were there the coffee maker stopped working and they were quick to replace it with a new one. Our only criticism is the upstairs bedrooms. We didn’t mind the size, despite them being pretty small. The mattress were not good. Our kids didn’t mind the twins beds but my wife and I woke up several days sore and I the mattress sit just an inch or two from the floor due to low ceilings. The other thing I want to highlight is the driveway. It’s been mentioned in other reviews and I need to stress it. It is steep and there’s a tight turn. I had to back my minivan up every time and if it had rained or been anything but dry pavement/gravel, I wouldn’t have made it. I can’t imagine what it would be like in the winter. I didn’t ask but, I wonder if they will work with you if you get there and can’t get up the driveway? Overall, it’s a nice place and I would recommend it. 👍🏻

Never again

The cabin is very nice and clean with nice mountain views. The driveway is treacherous and very hard to maneuver not to mention steep, this needs to be indicated in the description. The driveway will be the reason i will not consider renting this cabin again. Please be careful on the driveway especially in a large vehicle because there is no room to turn into the road so coming down will send you sliding into a drop off. I would suggest using google earth to view the driveway .

Amazing views! Great family getaway

We loved our stay at the kickback cabin. The house had all we needed for the stay. The views are amazing - sunset or sunrise! We'd sit in the morning with our coffee/tea/breakfast, relax and enjoy the view before a busy. Everything is super close by - Gatlinburg with shops and food (Crockett's Breakfast Camp hands down favorite!), the best spots for the Smoky Mountains and Dollywood. Coming home at night and enjoying a dip in the hottub under the stars was a bonus for my kids. I do also want to say the owners were flexible with us. We were originally booked last April but due to COVID and working hospitals couldn't take the family trip. Right before the trip was scheduled last year, they allowed us to rebook to this April even though we didn't have trip insurance purchased. After the last year the 5 of us needed the break and enjoyed every minute. Appreciate that flexibility. So yes the drive up isn't the easiest but after doing it once it wasn't horrible and if all the construction vehicles building all the houses up on the mountain can make it through the twists and turns, I think my minivan (with no 4 wheel drive) can too. It all added to the adventure after we got used to it! Just back up the driveway, remember it's an adventure and enjoy the view once you are parked.

Great view but needs maintenance.

I usually don't leave reviews, but I am a little disappointed. 1st, like all the other reviews, the driveway is very challenging. If you don't have all-wheel drive and a smaller vehicle, you are simply going to have issues. The only safe way I found to go up the driveway, is backwards. There is no place to turn around at the bottom of the driveway. 2nd, the house needs maintenance and upkeep. I found several items that didnt work. (Ie. Fireplace, master ceiling fan, front door lock, and many flickering lights) I also, wouldn't recommend adults sleeping upstairs, the beds are terrible and basically on the floor! The view is beautiful. However, that is not enough to bring us back to this cabin.

Almost 5 star

We had a very enjoyable 3 days in this cabin, even snowed for us. The kitchen is well stocked, house is clean and has all the amenities you would want/need. The driveway has been mentioned a few times in reviews so we were ready for it, I would have to agree with another guest that backing up the steep driveway is the best option and not too difficult. There were a couple of issues that the house management team really needs to address. The fireplace does not work and being a mountain cabin in the winter it would have been nice. The front door code keypad does not work either, fortunately we walked around the house and the back door also took the given code. This really needs to be fixed or at least in the description. All and all we had an amazing stay and would recommend given you know the issues up front.

Family vacation

The view was very nice; although the trek up to the cabin was very narrow and winding. The driveway up to the cabin is very difficult; and was unnerving each time we had to go up it. My husband found it easier to turn before the driveway and back all the way up to the cabin which isn't easy in the dark. The downstairs master bedroom is very comfortable. The upstairs bedrooms are in much need of new beds. My brother in law slept on the floor the last 2 nights because the twin beds were so hard. Because the cabin was a A-line frame, the upstairs bedroom and bathroom had a slanted low ceiling which my husband hit his head a couple of times. Kitchen items are very limited. The gas fireplace didn't work which was a HUGE disappointment; although the management company did offer compensation for it. We had a good vacation being with family; although I wouldn't rent this cabin again.

Very relaxing, beautiful view!!

The property was very nice and the cabin very clean. The view is awesome and having a momma bear and her 3 cubs show up on the deck was something to see. The road to the cabin is a bit scary, but we'll worth it. Strongly recommend 4 wheel drive for the driveway. Very tough to maneuver, ended up backing up to the cabin. Easy check in/check out. Had no issues during our stay. Would stay again!!!

The post made it seem as though the pool was near by, yet no where to be found. The driveway was a nightmare - very steep and awkward turn. Besides that, it was an amazing stay. Very clean, amazing views, bear visitors, grocery delivery service was a bonus. It was nice and close to downtown Gatlinburg as well for all of our planned attractions. We are planning on staying again.
