Guest Access:
Entire Cabin

The Neighborhood:
Located just 3.6 miles from downtown Gatlinburg, this cabin feels wonderfully secluded, yet it's close to all the attractions, restaurants, and natural beauty the area has to offer.

Getting Around:
All roads to the cabin are paved.
We recommend 4x4 drive for all mountain cabins, including this one. While the drive is easy in clear weather, 4-wheel drive is a great precaution for winter or rainy conditions.

Other Things to Note:
• Guests must be at least 21 years old to book this cabin.
• Maximum occupancy is 4 guests.
• A 4x4 vehicle is recommended for travel in the Smoky Mountains. Roads to the cabin are paved, but weather conditions can shift quickly.
• Gas fireplaces are seasonal and typically operate from October through March, depending on the weather.
• Coffee makers include both Keurig and standard drip—please bring your preferred coffee.
• A charcoal grill is available for use—guests must bring their own charcoal.
• Hot tub is drained, sanitized, and refilled between each guest stay. It may need time to reach full temperature on the check-in day.
• Starter supplies of toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, and laundry detergent are provided.
• Guests agree to use the website messenger for all communication, even if initial contact is made by another method.
• Bears and all types of wildlife are very common in the area! Do not feed or bother the bears or wildlife! Please leave them alone. We have no control over wildlife. They are very protected here and part of our area.
• We have monthly pest control at all of our cabins.  Being in the Great Smoky Mountains, we are surrounded by nature and wildlife.  Ladybugs, millipedes, and other insects can be difficult to combat around this time of year, even with our constant pest control program in place.  It is not uncommon to see them occur in and around the cabin/condo, especially with the opening and closing of doors.  This is extremely common for the area and all cabins/condos.

Interaction with Guests:
The best and fastest way to reach me is through the website messenger.

Quick trip

This was a quick two night stay for my boyfriend and I. We had a great time, wish we’d have stayed longer! It was super easy check in/out, very clean little cabin with amazing views!! It’s pretty secluded being at the end of the road which was nice! Highly recommend 10/10.The only thing I would suggest is a light in the kitchen (unless there was one we never found) it is dark in that little area.

Great little place!

This place was a rare "better in person than the photos" situation. The cabin was exactly as described, the 180 degree views of Mt.Leconte and the privacy offered were fantastic and the hot tub was a welcome site after an 18 mile hiking day. The location is super convenient to the park and downtown Gatlinburg, 10/10 overall, We would definitely stay here again!addition after

We booked this for my birthday. We were looking for a private place to unwind and relax. It was perfect! Great views of the mountains and private. We spent most of our time out in the hot tub, but we did go out to restaurants near by as well. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!

Our anniversary retreat

We had a lovely cabin. Its the last one on the road. It was clean, I loved the special touch with bed, towels, tp and pt. View was beautifully and the privacy and quiet was just what we wanted. We would suggested better chairs for thr deck and kitchen also one more for the living room. The only bummer was on April 1st, the coldest moring the fireplace was turned off. But has for wo7ld we come back, yes one day we will. Also, we had a littke sink problem and it was fixed soon after the call.

Must stay!

The view on this property is amazing. The drive up was nice and easy, located right at the end of the road, so it was nice and private. Had everything we needed for a quick visit to the area. The hot tub was perfect to soak in after a long day of walking and exploring the area. Furnishings were beautiful and comfortable. Cant wait to come back again. Highly recommend for couples looking for a quiet and relaxing retreat. It was very relaxing to watch the fog roll in over the mountain caps in the evening.

Mountain retreat

This is an amazing place to just get away. It provides the seclusion that is perfect to relax and unwind. House is just the right size for a couple and even an extra person. Hot tub offered a nice respite from a day of hiking while enjoying an AMAZING view of the mountains. Clean house with nice little touches to make you feel welcome. It is also only a few miles to downtown which offers many stores, restaurants and entertainment. Host was easily accessible and responsive. Would definitely return!
