About this property

Like No Otter - Luxe Cabin - Hot Tub & Game Room - 1 Mi to Downtown Gatlinburg

About this cabin
Wake up in the trees with coffee on the covered deck. Plan a day of Smokies hikes, aquarium visits, or Dollywood rides. Come back to your own mountain base with a private hot tub, a crackling fire pit, and a game room that keeps the fun going. Like No Otter is a luxury log cabin built in 2020 about one mile from downtown Gatlinburg. It feels tucked away yet you are minutes from everything.

What you will love
• Private hot tub with peaceful wooded views
• Fire pit for s’mores and stargazing
• Game room with pool table, multicade arcade, and a 75" TV
• Three king bedrooms, each with its own full bath
• Cathedral ceilings and a bright, open great room with fireplace and TV
• Fully equipped kitchen plus a charcoal grill for easy dinners
• High-speed WiFi for work and streaming
• Private deck off the game room facing the woods
• Flat driveway with room for up to five cars
• TVs in the living room and in all three bedrooms

The space
Step into a spacious great room with soaring ceilings, comfy seating, and a stone fireplace for cozy evenings. Upstairs, the game room is a favorite gathering spot. Challenge each other to pool, fire up the arcade, or settle in for the big game on the 75" screen. Slide open the door to the private deck for quiet morning coffee or a nightcap surrounded by trees.

Sleeping layout
• Main level: primary king suite with a bath that includes a walk in shower
• Upper level: two additional king bedrooms, each with a full bath
• Living area: queen sleeper sofa for extra flexibility

Plush linens and blackout shades make it easy to rest well and wake up ready for the next adventure.

Kitchen and dining
The kitchen has granite counters, stainless appliances, quality cookware and bakeware, sharp knives, a drip coffee maker, toaster, blender, and starter essentials. Sit down together at the dining table or head outside and grill burgers beside the fire pit.

Outdoor living
Unwind in the covered hot tub, rock on the deck and watch the trees sway, then gather at the fire pit for marshmallows and stories after sunset.

Tech and entertainment
Stream and work with reliable high-speed WiFi. There is a TV in the living room and in all three bedrooms, plus the big 75" TV in the game room for movie nights and sports.

Location
The cabin sits about one mile from downtown Gatlinburg for the aquarium, shops, and dining. It is roughly nine minutes to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance and about twenty minutes to Pigeon Forge and Dollywood. Many guests choose to walk to town when the weather is nice, or it is a quick drive with easy parking on the flat driveway.

Guest access and parking
Guests have the entire cabin and outdoor areas to themselves. Parking is simple with a flat driveway that fits up to five vehicles.

Good to know
Linens, towels, and blankets are provided. The hot tub is covered and overlooks the woods. The grill is charcoal and sits next to the fire pit. We use this cabin with our own family, so it is stocked and cared for like home.

Perfect for
Family getaways with space and privacy, couples who want three true suites, friends’ weekends, and anyone who wants a peaceful setting close to downtown, the park, and Dollywood.

Family vacation in the Smoky's

We had a wonderful stay here! Kim was a great host! The house was exactly as described and quite lovely! It was perfect for our 4 teenagers. Close to everything but far enough away from town to get that "in the mountains" cabin experience. We got the excitement of having a couple of bear visits during our stay which was very thrilling! When we return to this area, we will definitely book with Kim again!

The cabin was cozy, comfortable, and very close to the downtown area. Everything was a short distance away and it was a great place to relax! I wish we had more time to enjoy the beautiful cabin. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our stay and we would return back in a heartbeat!

Family Memories

My family and I enjoyed our stay. The cabin was beautiful and very clean. We arrived to a cozy cabin along with a lit Christmas tree to give it that extra family feel. Our family enjoyed creating memories playing pool in the game area. It was only a short drive to get to the center of Gatlinburg

Summer Vacation

We had an excellent time! The house was very clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the fire pit out back, playing pool and arcade games. The house was perfectly located close to the grocery store and had an easy in and out of downtown Gatlinburg. It was also nice being so close to various National Park Entrances and Roaring Fork Motor Trail. Would highly recommend this home and can’t wait to stay again. Traveled from Ohio with four kiddos 13-19 and they also all loved the house.

Exactly as listed.

This is exactly as pictured. Quiet and up a short narrow, winding road with some other cabins at top of hill. I would recommend staying here, it was convenient to Gatlinburg town. Food city was 1 mile away. Unfortunately we did not see the bear.

About the host

Hosted by Kimberly Singh

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Kim. Hosting is personal for me. Our family spends time at Like No Otter, so I’m picky about the details: comfy beds, a spotless kitchen, cozy lighting, and the little extras that make a getaway feel easy. I manage a small collection of places in the Smokies and Orlando, and I scout new ideas whenever I travel. I love interior design, trail days in the park, cheering on basketball, and getting in a good run.

You can count on quick, friendly communication, honest guidance, and local recommendations tailored to your plans. Tell me what would make your trip special and I’ll help you get there. I’m excited to host you and your crew.

Why they chose this property

We wanted the best of both worlds. From this spot you are about one mile to downtown Gatlinburg for the aquarium, shops, and restaurants, yet the cabin backs to quiet woods that feel private and calm. It is the kind of place where you can grab pancakes in the morning, hit a trail or Dollywood during the day, then come back to rocking chairs, a hot tub, and a sky full of stars.

What I enjoy most is how easy everything is. The drive is quick and simple, the driveway is flat with plenty of parking, and you can be at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance in roughly nine minutes. When we stay here as a family we walk into town when the weather is nice, and we love returning to the peace of the trees when the day is done.

Why guests love this area

Close to downtown without the bustle

Fast access to the national park for hikes and scenic drives

Peaceful wooded views from the deck and hot tub

Flat driveway with room for five vehicles

Easy base for everything from breakfast spots to evening attractions

If you have special plans for your trip, tell me what you are hoping to do and I will share favorite routes and local tips.

What makes this property unique

I looked for a place that felt like a true Smokies retreat without giving up convenience. Like No Otter sits about one mile from downtown Gatlinburg, yet the back deck faces nothing but trees. You can grab breakfast in town, be on a trail in minutes, and still come home to quiet, rocking chairs, and a covered hot tub.

The layout is a standout for families and couples traveling together. You get three king bedrooms, each with its own full bath, so everyone has privacy and space to recharge. The game room keeps the fun going with a pool table, a multicade, and a 75" TV, plus its own private deck for morning coffee.

Little things make a big difference here. Cathedral ceilings and cozy lighting in the great room, a real cook’s kitchen with quality tools, and a flat, easy driveway that fits up to five cars. We use the cabin with our own family, so I keep it stocked and cared for like home and I am always close by with local tips.

Guest favorites
