Fantastic Stay

This was our second year staying at this property. The owner is super responsive and gives tons of valuable information leading up to your stay. The biggest thing for us a reliable, fast internet - we work remotely during the day and venture into Pigeon Forge in the evenings. The internet connection here is fantastic, and great cell service (with Verizon at least). Amazing views. Clean house. Couldn’t recommend this cabin more.

Great Views!

Overall excellent experience and we booked for long weekend while playing in the Ripken Travel Baseball Tourney. Cabin was only 25 mins roughly to fields and all the fun in Pigeon Forge. Kids loved the games and hot tub while adults enjoyed the views. Only issue was we booked property mainly because of pool access but were very disappointed to find it wasn't in service for the 8 days leading up to our stay and the first 3 of 4 days we stayed there due to issues. Big bummer for the kids. Everything else was great so make sure pool is open if that is important to you.

Awesome time here at the cabin. The views are absolutely spectacular. Quiet peaceful place on the top of the mountain. Our family of 6 stayed here a few weeks ago for 5 days. Can't stress enough how nice the place was. My daughter said at the end of the trip that she wishes we could have just spent 1 whole day at the cabin relaxing. I could have killed her!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 We were constantly on the run having never been to Gatlinburg/Pigeon forge before. We had no issues staying at the home, everything was stocked with anything we could have needed. Will definitely be back again.

Amazing cabin with a view

This spacious cabin was ready to accomodate my family and our needs! The main bedroom had a king size bed and full bathroom, queen bunkbeds upstairs (the loft with two twin beds is also upstairs. The ladder is quite steep, and if my kids were younger they'd have loved it being up there. Instead they preferred the queen bunks for the space to sprawl out. There is a 3/4 bathroom upstairs (includes a jetted tub). They had a great time with the pool table, racing game and game table. We all spent time on the two decks overlooking the mountainside at various points throughout our stay. There are rocking chairs and a side table (on each deck), so it was a great spot to read, take pictures and drink my coffee. Also, might be minor to some, but the freezer had an ice maker which was fabulous given our stay had an average temperature of 90 degrees each day. Which thankfully this cabin has air conditioning. It was too hot during our stay to use the jacuzzi on the balcony so unable to comment on that. If we head back to Tennessee we would definitely book again. The windows on the cabin were huge which let so much natural light filter in, and gave us a chance to see the picturesque views often, which we loved. (The only downside I can see with this is if you like to sleep in, its pretty bright out early in the morning.) We also took advantage of the pool on the property during our stay; it got a little busy but there were tables, chairs and lounge chairs for use.

We originally planned a four-night stay, but he generously offered us a discounted rate for a fifth night—we couldn’t pass it up, and it was absolutely worth it!The cabin itself is cozy and well-equipped with plenty of amenities.

Absolutely perfect for our family getaway this Christmas. The cabin is exactly as pictured. The arcade games and football were a big hit with the kids. The hot tub was spotless and wonderful (and super easy to use). It was great we brought two adults, and 4 kids (15, 12, 7, 5). We had plenty of room, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen is equipped well enough to have Simple family meals, and the views are magnificent. Also, Dollywood was only 34 minutes from the cabin and it is a beautiful drive through the mountains to get there with basically no traffic on Dec 22. Host was highly communicative and super responsive.

We loved our stay here! The only two minor complaints are that the mattresses weren’t that comfortable and the hot tub was on the smaller side. I would still choose to stay here over the other 3 cabins I’ve stayed at in the area. The view of the mountains was the best and there was plenty to keep the kids entertained when we didn’t venture out of the cabin.

My son and I went up for his fall break and had a wonderful time. The house is perfect. The views are awesome. The morning sun coming up over the mountains is just picturesque. You are close to the trail heads. But buying beer, food your best options are to go the Kroger or the little mart up the other direction. There are bears! We did see one around 1/4 mile from the cabin where someone had spilled a few items. Overall 5 stars!

About the host

Hosted by James Dorgan

Host profile image
James and Lauren Dorgan live in Fairhope Alabama with two small children, Noah and Nicholas. James is an attorney, and a part time law professor, and Lauren is a court reporter. They own and manage vacation rental properties in Orange Beach, Alabama, Panama City Beach Florida, and their most recent addition, Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

Why they chose this property

We absolutely fell in love with the breathtaking views, the spacious cathedral like interior which is flooded with natural light, even in the Winter, the all wood interior, and no expense spared all natural wood furnishings. For the kids, they love to sleep up in the loft, and watch for bears in The Preserve, and enjoy playing the full size Atari games. For Lauren, she loves the proximity to both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg for shopping and dining. For James, he loves being minutes from the Smokey Mountain National Park for hiking.. It's the perfect combination for a cabin - awesome views, proximity to Pigeon Forge, Cades Cove, and Gatlinburg, with plenty of space for everyone to spread out. It is absolutely a first class accommodation !

What makes this property unique

Arguably the finest view in all of the Smokys. Loft sleeping area for kids that requires climbing up a log ladder. Built in peak-a-boo 'bears cave' beneath the stairs for a 'secret' kids play area. Black bears, jack rabbits, racoons, chipmunks and owls routinely visit The Preserve !
