SERENITY IN THE MOUNTAINS - Private-view-convenient-unique-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.
It has a nice view of the mountains, although the view is better in the winter when leaves are off the trees or after some trees have been thinned.
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!

Wonderful guests. I really appreciate the personal contact we had when they had questions or needed anything. I'm really looking forward to their next stay when they decide to return to the mountains.
My family and I loved our stay at the Day Dreamer! The cabin was clean, cozy, and the handcrafted furniture was beautiful. The location was convenient for many of the attractions in the area but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. Andy was helpful. Our stay couldn’t have been better!
The host, Andy, was extremely helpful and hospitable. The scenery from the back porch, especially sitting in the hot tub, was serene. It was super cozy by the fireplace, though the cabin itself kept warm through the colder days. There was plenty of seating inside and outside, and the furniture was comfortable. Everything needed to create a home-cooked meal is ready at your fingertips. Very excited to book another stay!
Very nice and secluded location just minutes away from Pigeon Forge. Very quiet at night and very cozy home. My daughter loved everything about it, especially the hot tub on the back porch.

Great guests and very understanding. There was a major power outage in the area & these guests were very understanding & cooperative. I look forward to having them return.
This was a nice cabin quiet in the mountain with all you could need for your stay.

These were nice guests and I look forward to their return, but I'm not sure why the review is only 4 stars since I don't know anything I could have done to make the stay better.
We had the best time! We loved the location of the cabin, not too close to the main busy roads but then again not too far out! We will definitely rent this cabin again. We even saw a bear on our third night!

Glad they enjoyed the cabin, but we usually have a momma bear & 2-3 cubs. I guess the cubs are now grown & off on their own.
Look forward to having these guests return.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!! We talked several times & I wasn't aware of any major problems & she even says "It was a great place to s" (stay? But it only shows a 1 star. THE CONTACTS, AND SHORT STATEMENT DO NOT EQUATE TO A 1 STAR.
About the host
Hosted by Andy Carver
A retired Marine infantry officer (E-1 - O-4) with 23 years of service. Also retired after 28 years of service as a benefits counselor with the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Currently living in Alabama.
Married (1976) with 2 children & 4 grandchildren.
I enjoy getting to know many of my guests on a personal basis. I also enjoy providing unique furnishings for the cabin and make some of the furniture myself from cutting trees to moving the furnitue in. In many cases, I do it all with the exception of building the furniture.
I really enjoy making special memories for guests, like my friend from Virginia whom I have never met in person but who have been coming to the cabin for many years. They used it before they married, used it for their honeymoon, and now return at least once a year for their anniversary.
Or the young couple who booked the cabin, then sent me a picure of their engagement ring on our fireplace hearth where he proposed to her. They returned later that year for the honeymoon.
I'm also thankful to be able to provide a "grief retreat" for those who need it, like the single mom whose 19 son died suddenly from an unknown heart condition. She wrote a very nice note explaining that the peaceful setting of the cabin helped her cope with the loss of her only child.
More recently, an 80 year old woman who expressed her appreciaton for the cabin when her husband died. They had been married for 60 years.
While the latter situations are sad, I'm thankful that the cabin can provide a little solace for those who are in a time of grief.
Why they chose this property
The property has a nice view. It also has plenty of privacy located on 2 1/2 acres of land, and it's also convient because it's only about 4 miles (10 minutes) to the parkway in Pigeon Forge where all the shows, restaurants, etc. are located. It's also only about 30 minutes to the national park, tubing, zip lines, horseback riding, snow skiing, etc.
What makes this property unique
The privacy, scenery, & location make this an ideal location for a family, but it's also an ideal location for a romantic getaway. It has been used frequently for anniversaries, & honeymoons. In addition, AT LEAST 3 WEDDINGS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED IN THIS CABIN.
However, what really makes the property unique is that almost all furnishings in the property are handmade specifically for my cabin. So, you've never seen anything else like it before & will never see anything like it again. In fact, I make a lot of the furniture myself.
I salvage logs which would otherwise be burned, chipped, or left to rot. I saw the logs into boards using my own small sawmill. I then take it to a woman who makes unfinished furniture. After she builds the furniture, I put a finish on it using a secret blend of furniture oils & waxes. Only 1 person knows the formula & I'm not that person.
Some lampshades & blankets were designed from the Hautman Brothers paintings - They have wildlife paintings in Smithsonian & the White House
Most of the furniture has been built by Martha Pointer who has a small furniture shop at her home in Ashland, AL. She took over the shop when her husband Roy died & uses money from furniture sales to fund her mission trips to Peru, etc.
The dining table & chair swing were made by my friend Wayne Bridges in Northport, AL. - We ran track together in high school.
The kitchen counter and many other things were made by my friend and maintence man Lee Stephens who lives near the cabin.
The birch lamp and Red Cedar lamps were made by a man & his wife who had a shop about 5 miles from the cabin, but are no longer in business.
The smaller quilt was made to my specs by "Quilting Granny" (Sabrina Gray) in Gatlingburg who is in a wheelchair, but also a story-teller, artist, & makes herbal products.
The larger quilts were made by Kim Beecher in Prattville, AL. Kim is a retired AF Lt. Col.
