Amazing hosts!
Nicole was an amazing host! We had an issue with the hot tub and she sent someone out to fix it as soon as she could. She even checked on us afterwards. The property is nice and well maintained. The teens loved having their own separate areas to play and sleep. We would love to return to Big Bear in the future.

Nicole Host of Dreams
Nicole was an amazing host giving my family and I with our fur babies the greatest weekend retreat we could ask for. She was quick to respond and easy to work with for the booking. The place was spacious and had 4 levels. It was great for our family who had brought 3 dogs who loved to play and roam. The hot tub was awesome with the Jets and the play room was great for the boys to have guys night. I can’t thank Nicole enough for this amazing experience.

About the host

Hosted by Nicole Schroeder

Host profile image
We are the Schroeder family and we have been traveling full-time since September of 2017. We started out traveling exclusively in our rv, but fell in love with short term rentals when we explored Europe in 2019. We have been to all 50 states and over 10 countries as we seek to learn more about the diversity that makes each place unique and special. This cabin is a family passion. We are teaching our children about construction, basic repairs, budgeting, hospitality, compassion, and loving others well. They are involved in this property and we hope that they will grow to love hosting as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We have been all across the country in our travels and found that we kept coming back to the Smoky Mountains because we love the area so much. Staying in a log cabin nestled among the trees on the mountain side gives us peace. This is where we come to take a rest and reset. The hot tub and game room are our favorites. This is where priceless memories are made and we wanted to offer that to others when we were out exploring.

What makes this property unique

The location of this property is something that we love. You are in the middle of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg so there is easy access to both. If you are exploring both in a day you can go one way, stop for lunch or a nap, and then proceed to the other city.

The three levels of decks are so appreciated for morning coffee, mid-day relaxation, and nighttime chats.

The wildlife watching is fun here as well. We have been able to see a bobcat, multiple black bears, a racoon, turkeys, and plenty of birds and squirrels.

This cabin is authentic with a great location.
