The guest cancellation policy is as per the platform on which your stay was confirmed at the time of booking. When canceling your reservation, a processing fee of 3% of the total amount paid is charged due to all payments being handled by a third-party payment processor.

2) Our family cabin does not allow pets at this time, and currently cannot accommodate early check-ins. Please note that the roads in the mountains are typically narrower than your average rural road. We also kindly ask that no parties be on the premises.

If you still have concerns, please bring bottled water.

5) Please be aware that bears and their cubs are occasionally seen near the cabin, as it is located near a large water source & the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Even though bears may appear gentle, it's important to remember that they are still wild animals. Please avoid touching or approaching them. Even if they seem hungry, do not feed wild animals or leave food or trash in your car. Always keep your vehicle locked, as bears have been known to open unlocked doors.

Quiet spot close to everything

Cabin was cute and had everything you could ask for! Tom the owner communicated with us throughout the reservation process and stay. Not too much but just enough so you knew he was genuinely ensuring you had a great time and your needs were met. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a great stay at the cabin while visiting the mountains. It was the perfect place to get away from the tourist trappings of downtown and relax in a peaceful setting. The owner was very responsive and quick with communications and we would love to return.

Nice little place to stay and take a break from all the adventures

We had a nice time kayaking in the lake and fishing- they have life jackets and poles! We weren’t at the cabin a whole lot so it was perfect for the short time to cook, relax, enjoy the view of the lake and relax!

Bliss in the smokies.

The property was absolutely what I was looking for when I was searching for a family vacation in the smokies. The home was spacious and clean with stunning views. We were hoping that the lake was swimmable but the nearby trails and waterfalls made up for it. We will be recommending the cabin on Mirror Lake to friends and family and will be coming back to stay again soon.

Short stay in paradise

Overall, this property was lovely. It was secluded with its own private lake just as described. We did cook a meal, and the fully stocked kitchen was awesome. I really enjoyed that the property was off the main road and in a quieter part of Gatlinburg. We were trying to get somewhere quiet to recharge and it was exactly what we needed. The views and the hot tub were fantastic. Will stay again if we come back to gatlinburg.

Anniversary

We had a great time. The house was absolutely beautiful. Loved the view of the lake. Plenty of space and things to do if you stay at the house and don’t go anywhere. Very close to Gatlinburg. Used the Trolley stop one day which is real close and super easy and free. Tom was a great communicator and appreciated all the hospitality. Would definitely say again.

Great vacation spot

Secluded and still close to restaurants and all the amenities. Our kids had fun with the preloaded electronic game table and with space this cabin offered. Our family enjoyed every inch of space in this cabin and the view was really nice, especially from the top balconies! (You could even see the fish in the lake better from up there) Our kids said they wanted to come back every year. The hot tub was relaxing and it was great to sit in the hammock chair on the balcony and enjoy the views.

Overall it was a great place to stay. Very beautiful. I'm going to nit pick a little. Most of the doors don't shut well and it needs to be dusted a little better. We also had to buy hand soap for all bathrooms because there wasnt any.

Beautiful cabin

My family of 6 really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. It is beautiful. The 15 minute drive to/from downtown Gatlinburg was always pleasurable. My kids were so sad when it came time to leave. I property manager was very responsive to all my our questions / concerns. I felt confident that if an urgent issue arose, I could easily get ahold of him.

Perfect Location

My family and I had an amazing staycation at Mirror Lake. My husband and mother enjoyed fishing. They noticed that the fish would come closer to the deck later in the evening 6/7. The rooms were spacious enough for all of my daughters to have space for themselves! The cabin was clean expect for a few spider webs in random locations (my ocd noticed). The board games and uno cards were a great add as well. We look forward to coming back again.

No reason to leave the cabin

This cabin was great find! I have never seen one on a lake before and decided to try something different. It did not disappoint! There is so much to do at this cabin between the fishing, games, arcade game table, corn hole that we decided to spend most of our time at the cabin. The Solo stove was perfect for s’mores in the evening. Loved the location, close to some of our favorite restaurants without having to go into the strip in town. We have two teenage boys and they loved all the cabin has to offer. Layout of the cabin is perfect. We definitely want to go back again!

Great Cabin and Stay!

We had a wonderful stay at Mirror Lake. The view everyday from either top or bottom deck was just the best! My girls loved watching the fish and turtles! (Fishing wasn't the best but we didn't come for that). The hot tub was such an added bonus and was much needed relaxation. Everything was clean and tidy except some dusting should probably be done on the fans and stuff (but I'm not picky, I'm a mom of 5...lol) We loved the kitchen space (the spices were a little bonus as we needed them for cooking one night). The bathrooms were clean and so great to have 3 available 😆. Basically what you see in pics is what you get 😁. We hope to be able to make the trip back and will plan to stay here again!

The cabin was exactly as described and pictured! We really loved the location as it’s super close to the arts & crafts area and both pigeon forge and Gatlinburg were just 15 minutes each way. We were able to catch (and release) numerous brim and one baby catfish in the lake! The owners were communicating entire trip to ensure we had what we needed and on standby if an issue arose. Really appreciated the clean homey feel of the cabin. Great trip and would recommend this cabin to anyone!
