The view from this property is worth the trip itself! Gosh it was so lovely!! The cabin is also beautiful and very spacious, we even had a black bear (cub) come in the back yard by the patio! Super neat for the kids the see! Will definitely be back!
Great property with a great view. Everything was as the listing described. Not far from downtown Gatlinburg. We would stay there again. Highly recommended.
Very good cabin with great views. Host was very responsive and the cabin was very clean when we arrived. The checkin and checkout process was very smooth. Only drawback is with the 3rd bedroom. we have to exit the main door and go out to get to basement.
Our family of 5 adults had a wonderful stay at this cabin! The view was amazing. We enjoyed the hot tub and theater room, but most of all the balconies for bird and bear watching. The cabin was well-equipped and check-in was easy. We had no issues at all. There is no longer a fire pit, which was disappointing but we were entertained by several bears, one actually entering the neighbor’s car for snacks. LOCK YOUR CAR DOORS! The bears can definitely open them! Would highly recommend this cabin!
Beautiful views! Everything was exceptional and the cabin was perfect for our family. The hot tub stopped heating on our last night, but we were pretty tired anyway and enjoyed the nighttime mountain views. The host was very responsive when I reached out.We loved how close it is to Pigeon Forge and all the fun activities. The boys especially enjoyed the video games, movie room, and having their own space downstairs. Definitely worth it for the views alone — I would stay here again.
My family of five spent a long weekend here right before Christmas, and we had a wonderful time. The hot tub and movie area were huge hits with everyone. The location is perfect: close enough to be just 10-20 minutes from all the main attractions, yet tucked away for that peaceful Smoky Mountains vibe. This was our third year visiting the area around Christmas, and this property easily had the best views we’ve experienced so far. We’d definitely recommend it to family and friends!
Our stay was fantastic! Check in was super easy and the place had everything we could have needed. The views and wildlife were amazing. Phil responded immediately to questions and was a great host. The location was great as well-out of the way but just a couple minutes to downtown.
We had a wonderful time staying at Sophie’s hideout. The view was spectacular, the bear sightings were entertaining and the owner/host was very helpful. Also, the drive up was not so bad, but I do recommend arriving before dark the first time up. I would definitely stay here again.
Very beautiful, clean, unique place. Lots of space and the kids loved the arcade games. Beautiful view. Wish we would have stayed longer, since we were only there a couple of days.
The hideaway is a great place to stay, beautiful inside and out. Beautiful views. Really great for good with the movie room and game room. We’ve stayed on this cabin several times. One of the best all around!
We had so much fun. It’s near the city strip! Kids love the games and theater! It’s set up like a home away from home. We had everything we needed. Take you time on the road up! It was beautiful we had Thanksgiving in this cabin! It was decorated with Christmas decor but it was still nice! YES you will see bears! We saw two and they were babies! 10/10 from us! Phil is awesome!
