Okay - now that we've got that out of the way, let's talk more about this gorgeous cabin!

The Freedom Creek Hideaway cabin is conveniently located in a heavily wooded area, providing privacy in Pigeon Forge, one of East Tennessee's iconic and creative cities. It is less than a mile from Parkway, and Sevierville and Gatlinburg are just seven miles away.

The architectural design is beautiful and unlike any other couples' cabin in the area. It's super quiet and open and has cozy furnishings with modern décor. From the minute you walk in, you will fall in love with how relaxed you feel.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you would expect in a true chef's kitchen—from all new appliances—pots, and pans to a coffee machine, toaster, blender, spices, and everything else you can think of to cook at home super comfortably!

The master bedroom is entirely new. It features a comfortable memory foam king-size bed and plenty of extra fluffy pillows. Additionally, the master suite includes a spacious closet with an organizer for additional storage and a clothes washer and dryer for added convenience.

Experience ultimate comfort in the living room with a brand-new queen sofa sleeper and a cozy chair, perfect for unwinding after a day of adventure. Enjoy movie nights like never before with a 55" Smart 4K Roku TV and surround sound. Plus, stay connected with high-speed Internet wifi included.

We take pride in being among the few Vrbo listings that welcome pets. We have incorporated extra amenities for your four-legged companions should you bring them along! The kitchen features a spacious built-in crate and a doggie welcome mat with a blanket on the front porch for your furry friends. We also provide pet-friendly blankets and dog dishes. If you have more than one dog, we have an additional large dog crate available. There is a one-time fee of $155 for up to three dogs, regardless of their size. For single overnights, We'll send you a pet-friendly fee request will be sent to you just before your arrival after your reservation is confirmed.

If you're ready to spend more time outdoors, head to the back screened-in porch to unwind in your secluded hot tub. It's tranquil and highly private.

Unforgettable stays begin and end with our commitment to genuine care and exceptional service, personalized with a special touch. We take immense pride in offering our unique brand of hospitality. As our valued guest, you can expect a warm welcome, unparalleled flexibility, and a steadfast commitment to making things right.

Other things to note:

Our cozy cabin is nestled in the forest! While you're here, you might encounter some friendly wildlife and bugs. Even though we do our best to keep pests under control, it's hard to get rid of every single bug. You might also see some adorable wild animals around, so keeping an eye on your pets when they're outside is essential. Please resist the temptation to feed the animals; they're just part of the charming cabin experience.

This property was very close to town but secluded and quiet in a forest. Eric was awesome with quick communication! I was at the VRBO for 2 nights and enjoyed the spa on the back porch. The kitchen is well appointed with full sized appliances making it easy to cook meals. They are almost finished building a new cabin next door and there was no noise during my stay. Carefully read Eric’s directions on how to safely get up the hill and you will be fine! The coffee provided was very good!

Great Cabin Near Pigeon Forge

We really enjoyed our stay in this cabin. It was clean, close to Pigeon Forge, and there were a lot of nice touches (dog bowl, robes for hot tub, etc.). Eric was also very communicative and helpful. Thanks for the great stay!

Great cabin and location

Great cabin for a few people and a couple dogs, as we had. Very spacious, and Eric has provided pretty much everything you could need while at a property, all the way down to good bedding and eating utensils. Very tech modern, and CLEAN! Just a heads up the driveway is pretty steep so you might have to put those Camrys in low gear to climb the hill!

Great experience!

Picked this property because of the location and because the host is a fellow veteran. The pictures online do NOT do the cabin justice. It was literally the perfect choice and exceeded our expectations. Host was very responsive and honestly wanted our stay to be perfect. Did not disappoint. I would recommend to anyone that wants peace and quiet but also wants to be close to everything that Pigeon Forge has to offer. Thanks again Eric and Obi!

Perfect dog friendly cabin

We have stayed at many cabins in Pigion Forge/ Gatlinburg area and this has been the best by far. You feel like you are way out in the woods and it's so peaceful but yet only minutes from the parkway. Everything in the cabin was decorated perfectly. They had multiple water bowls and a crate for our pups which we enjoyed because it's one less thing to pack. In the kitchen they had EVERYTHING we needed to cook small meals. This is definitely going to be our Vacation cabin from now on. 10 stars to Eric and obi it was truly a pleasure to stay here.

Beautiful cabin in convenient location

The cabin was beautiful and nicely decorated. We also appreciated the nice touch of coffee left for use - and the fact that veterans’ products were being supported. However, it was difficult for us to fully enjoy our stay as we spent the first 3 hours cleaning the cabin enough for us to just be comfortable for a few days. It was obvious nothing had been vacuumed or swept and there were areas on counter tops that were not clean and appeared the bathrooms were not clean. And there were some areas in the cabin that had not been cleaned in what appeared years. As stated previously, the cabin is beautiful and in a fairly good location, and has great potential. The stay would have been 5 star if weren’t for the lack of cleanliness.

We stayed three nights at this cabin and had a wonderful experience. The cabin was very clean and well-kept, which made it easy to feel comfortable right away. It was peaceful and relaxing the entire time — quiet enough to enjoy the mountain setting, but literally just a few minutes away from all the restaurants, attractions, and things to do in Pigeon Forge. It was the perfect balance of convenience and privacy. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, cozy, and relaxing getaway close to everything!

The cabin was beautiful, clean and dog-friendly! We loved the screened-in deck with the hot tub. The scenery was beautiful, we felt like we were in a treehouse! The bed was comfortable and the cabin had everything we needed for our stay. The location was very convenient, just minutes from the attractions in Pigeon Forge and also not a far drive at all to Gatlinburg. There is some construction going on next door but it didn’t bother us. The host, Eric was so friendly and responded quickly to any question we had. I highly recommend this cabin to couples with pets. My husband, pup and I really enjoyed our stay. We hope to rent this property again!

Very cozy and clean cabin. I absolutely loved having the washer and dryer right in the bedroom. Fantastic location to enjoy Dollywood, Pigeon Forge, Anakeesta, and Gatlinburg.Just a warning to anyone smart enough to book this cabin, the driveway is surprisingly steep, and there is currently some construction going on next door. The construction was never loud or disruptive. The driveway was never blocked.

Our stay was extremely last minute, as we wanted to extend our honeymoon for one more night, and Eric made it 100% possible for our doggos and baby. What I loved most about this stay is that it was big dog friendly, and there wasn’t a limit put on the weight. It’s extremely hard to find those stays, especially on a last minute notice. Thank you for loving the big fur babies too!!
