About this property

Serenity in the mountains - Privacy & convenience - Pets, Hot Tub, & EV charging

This cabin has been used for numerous honeymoons and anniversaries. In addition, there have been at least 3 weddings performed in the cabin. On the other hand, it has also been used as a retreat when families have lost loved ones or to escape from an otherwise stressful life.

Enjoy the wildlife and mountains while relaxing in the rocking chairs on the back porch. In cooler weather, relax in front of the fireplace & enjoy the beautiful mountains through the floor to ceiling glass wall in the main living area. You can also relax in the whirlpool tub in the master bedroom or the hot tub on the back porch (the main picture was taken from the hot tub).

The cabin is on 2 1/2 acres of land and very private. From the living room sleeper sofa or recliner or from the back porch rockers or hot tub, you see no other cabins/houses, just the woods, wildlife, and Brush Mountain in the distance. Fall foliage is spectacular!

The master bedroom has a king size log bed, flat screen TV, DVD player, and whirlpool tub. Adjacent to the bedroom is a full bathroom with shower/tub combination. The shower features selections for waterfall, rain fall, front spray, or hand wand.

There is 1 step up to the front porch & another step up to the main part of the cabin which has the dine-in kitchen, master bedroom .

The dining table & benches are red cedar handmade by a friend in Northport, AL. There is a locally made birch tree lamp in the main living area. Other lamp shades feature artwork of the Hautman Brothers who are wildlife artists with works in Smithsonian and the White House.

There is 1 step down from the main floor to the back porch which has the charcoal bar-b-que grill, rockers, & hot tub.

The 2nd bedroom & full bathroom (shower/tub combination) are located in the loft. It features a Hautman Brothers bedspread and lamp shade plus a locally made cedar lamp and locally made bear theme night stand. There is a flat screen TV, XBox 360 with video games & board games.

The living room is equipped with a 49" Roku TV with DVD, so movies and on the Roku channel are free. If guests have subscriptions to Netflix, Hulu, etc. they can use those supscriptions on the TV as well.

The master bedroom & loft bedroom have flat screen TVs with DVD players. DVD movies and books are provided for your enjoyment and relaxation.

All the attractions along the Parkway in Pigeon Forge are only about 5 - 10 minutes away, while Dollywood and the national park are only about 10-15 minutes away. Snow skiing, Ripley's aquarium and museums are about 20-30 minutes away in Gatlinburg.

We have added an EV charging station for those with electric vehicles/hybrids. To use the charging station, contact the owner. There is a 1 time $50 charging fee for unlimited charging.

We had such a great experience!! Cabin was great. Very clean. When we first got there we had little hiccup with power outage but I must say the owner was so great with communication and making sure he could do anything to help. I very much appreciate that.

Smoky Mountain Hospitality

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The pictures on the website could use some updating as they don't do it justice- it's a beautiful property and a lovely place to retreat. We had a series of unpredictable events including a maintenance issue and temporary loss of power due to storms. Our host went above and beyond to keep us informed and calm. He also arranged for us to have a wonderful meal at a great local restaurant once the roads were cleared from the debris. We would recommend his cabin and look forward to returning!loss of poeer due to

Serenity it is!

We loved staying at this cute cabin! It was perfect for me and my husband but could have brought either a couple of children or 2 more adults because there was another bedroom and full bathroom in the loft upstairs. Loved sitting on the couch and looking out the back door and windows to see the mountains across the way. You could also see them from the hot tub. Tons of privacy for the awesome hot tub. There were a couple of houses around but nothing that you could see at night and probably couldn’t see at all in the summer when the leaves were on the trees. Andy was absolutely wonderful to work with. If there was one negative thing to say, it would be that the driveway is a little challenging but not too bad. We would recommend this cabin and Andy 100% and can’t wait to go back!

Little Slice of Heaven

My husband, two teen boys, and two doodles thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The cabin was spotless, beautiful, and very private. I felt like I was at home. It was well appointed and had many of the things that aren'tusually provided at a rental, plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, hand soap, extra towels, etc. We had great communication with Andy, who made sure we had a perfect trip. We'll definitely be back. Listening to the rain on the tin roof was icing on the cake. This place truly is a little slice of heaven on earth. We look forward to returning this fall or winter. aren't. usually included in a rental

Smoky Mountain stay

This is a cute little cabin in the mountains. Very clean inside and out. Owner gave specific instructions on how to enter the driveway to make it easier to leave. Roads are steep and dark, so be careful. I had a small car was fine. Owner called to inform me of when maintenance was coming and pest control was coming. Owner is very sweet and sent lots of things for you to do on your vacation stay. I would definitely book here again.

Nice little cabin, with great location.

Great time, we loved the little cabin. Some locals were driving a bit to fast up and down the road to cabin, which is very hard to see up the switchbacks, and around the turns. If your pulling a trailer with you, good luck. I wished the view was a little better than picture shows. But all in all very minor stuff. We would definitely stay there again.

Secluded and very quiet!

My husband and I really enjoyed our peaceful time here in May. Our 2-week stay did have a small (think young, hungry bear) interruption one morning. He did stay outside as he searched for trash containersonly to be dissappointed with our 'offerings'. The cabin was equipped with everything we needed! The location a few miles out of Sevierville kept us near anything we might need. Our host Andy was very friendly and helpful, full of a lot of information and suggestions. We would definitely stay here again when traveling to the area.

A true mountain getaway

We really enjoyed our moutain getaway. This place is secluded (there are still some surrounding neighbors although not super close ) and quiet. The driveway is steep but our minivan did just fine. Check in was easy. Lots of towels. Sheets were soft and mattresses were comfy. 2nd level is slightly more warmer than bottom level. There were toliet paper provided and paper towels. Backporch was so nice. The host was probably the best host for a VRBO we hsve dealy with. So friendly and attentive. He went out of his way to make sure we had the best trip possible. We were so thankful. You can really tell that he cares. for the property.

We really enjoyed our few days at this cabin. The only issue, and it's not the host's fault, is the sketchy driveway. A little hard to get turned around to come in a safe way. Everything was as described. Would stay here again without hesitation.

We loved everything about this cabin. A great place for a getaway. The views from the back porch is fantastic. You can see the mountains actoss the valley and at night its beautiful with the lights on the cabins across the valley. Very easy to get to anywhere in Pigeon Forge. Also close to wears valley. The communication with the owners could not have been better. They were full of very helpful information. I loved the beautiful touches in the cabin including the photos taken by the owners.

PERFECT Cabin in the Mountains

THIS cabin is exactly what you want when you think of a cabin in the mountains. My wife, 16 yo daughter, her friend and myself had a fantastic long weekend getaway. The cabin is close enough to everything, yet far enough away that you are not in the middle of touristville! It is less than a five minute drive from the cabin to the main strip of Pigeon Forge and about 15 - 20 minutes from Gatlinburg. Andy, the host is the best VRBO host I have ever dealt with. Upon receiving my confirmation, he reached out (via email) and provided more information about the local area than you could ever begin to imagine. He included top lists of restaurants, things to do, scenic drives, hidden places, EVERYTHING!!! There is no doubt we WILL be back to this cabin.

Short but wonderful

The property was very cozy and had some Christmas decorations. The outside jacuzzi was hot and ready for my teenage kids to use as soon as we walked in the door. The location was fantastic, close to town, attractions and hiking. The owner was kind enough to suggest various hiking trails, which we did take advantage of. Overall, definitely recommended! Only wish we had 1 more day there. Next time!!!
