Peaceful Retreat Just Minutes from Town

Absolutely loved our stay at this cabin in Pigeon Forge! The place was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The views were stunning, especially from the hot tub, and it felt private yet close enough to all the attractions. We’ll definitely be coming back!

An awesome little cabin

We had a wonderful stay, it was clean and the host was very responsive when we had a few questions. The bed was one of the nicest we have ever had while staying in a vbro, would stay again. Water pressure In the shower could be a bit better, but you can always just use the hot tub if you need some heat after a day of hiking.

Lovely cabin

My husband & I stayed for an anniversary trip and the cabin was perfect. The hot tub was very clean, with crystal clear water, and the temperature was perfect. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need to make a meal, including a waffle iron. My husband enjoyed the arcade games. Brought him back to his youth. We would definitely stay again.

Cozy and Christmasy

My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay in this cozy, but spacious cabin. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas, the fireplaces in the living room and bedroom came in very handy as it got down to 18° at night. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and any implements you may need, the Keurig coffeemaker was fantastic. I found the bed to be pretty comfortable, but firm. The only hiccup was on our last day we went to use the hot tub, but found it empty; the drainage pipe had busted due to the cold. We contacted the hosts immediately and they were great; very friendly and gave us an appropriate credit. I would definitely come back in the warmer months just to enjoy the screened in back porch and the outdoor fire pit area. I recommend this cozy cabin for any getaway, in any weather. A+

Anniversary Trip

My wife and I got married in the smokies 13 years ago. We try to come back every year. This was perfect for just the 2 of us. (2 more on the sofa bed, if necessary) It was all on 1 floor so no stairs to climb. It has a jacuzzi tub, a hot tub, a fire pit, 2 inside fireplaces, an inside & outside grill, a screened in back porch, a video game machine & corn hole boards. You literally do not need to leave the property if you don’t want to. It was a wonderful, relaxing stay.

Nice Cabin

The refrigerator freezer did not work, owner reimbursed some money. The grill knobs do not work properly. Only could get one side to light. Those 2 things did not impede our stay. It was a superb place. We hope to return.

Jacuzzi Dirty and slimy/Left garment bag yet no one can find it

On the fridge, it says the Jacuzzi has new water and cleaned after every visit. Tissue of lies!! We couldn’t even enjoy the Jacuzzi. It was disgusting, slimy, and cloudy. We accidentally left my garment bag hanging on the door in the bedroom We called after we got home because we didn’t have it Owner said house See it or has it or the new tenants that are occupying do not have it? So someone must’ve broke into the house after we left, grabbed my garment bag and took it. They have cameras. I asked the owners to look on the cameras to see who took my garment bag out to their car.! Nothing I would never recommend this place to anyone I would hate for someone to have to go through the same thing if they left something there that is absolutely unacceptable As well as advertising their cabin Making it look like the Jacuzzi is amazing and the false advertising, I will be making a police report as the owner will not take responsibility. Yet when we told her about the Jacuzzi, she immediately said she would refund us $75. Without hesitation so you’re saying that your housekeeper that supposed to clean the Jacuzzi is so reliable yet she doesn’t even do her job, she knows that she was willing to refund us the $75. It’s horrible to feel like you can’t even trust that your articles would be there after four hours of leaving the establishment. It’s not a hotel. It is a cabin that has to be clean. Someone has my garment bag and if it’s not us just plain and simple fact.

Perfect Anniversary Getaway!

My husband and I enjoyed our 20th wedding anniversary in this cabin. It was absolutely perfect for the 2 of us! The cabin is beautiful and clean and the amenities were enjoyable! We spent our evenings in the hot tub and played some very competitive foosball games. The little neighborhood was quiet and adorable. The bed was very comfortable. We didn't cook much at the cabin as we ate when we were out and about in Pigeon Forge, but the coffee maker was top of the line and we did use the oven to make frozen pizzas one evening. Everything was just perfect!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer B Jetter

Host profile image
We travel to the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area a lot for vacations since we live less than five hours away. After successfully renting our lake house on Lake Cumberland in Kentucky, we decided our next venture would be a mountain getaway that we could enjoy as a family.

Why they chose this property

We looked for two years for property, and when we saw Yona Den we knew it was the one! We loved the mountain setting while still being convenient to the Parkway and to the Smoky Mountain National Park Townsend entrance. It's also conveniently located so that we can get to the grocery or gas station without accessing the Parkway, therefore avoiding traffic.

What makes this property unique

We love the park-like setting, foliage, location, log cabin style, and the wood look of the interior. We've definitely updated the property to our tastes though!
