The mountains are calling.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park

America’s most visited national park, known for its diversity of plant and animal life, the beauty of its ancient mountains, and Southern Appalachian culture. Great Smoky Mountains National Park is one of the largest protected areas in the eastern United States where black bears can live in wild, natural surroundings. Bears inhabit all elevations of the park and it is estimated that roughly 1,500 bears live in the park.

From the original Appalachian Trail to breathtaking hikes, there are 150 Smoky Mountain trails covering 800 miles of pristine backcountry. Roaring Fork features two of the most popular waterfalls in the park and Cades Cove is a scenic 11-mile loop open to visitors from sunrise to sunset.

Pigeon Forge

Pigeon Forge is home to country singer Dolly Parton’s Appalachian-themed park, Dollywood, and other attractions including country music revues like the Smoky Mountain Opry, dinner theaters such as Dolly Parton's Stampede and countless options for dining and shopping.

Local dining favorites include Huck Finn’s Catfish, The Old Mill, and the Local Goat.

Gatlinburg
Gatlinburg is known as the gateway to the roughly 520,000-acre Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Many of its key attractions offer sweeping views of the national park, including the 400ft. Space Needle observation tower and the Sky Lift, an aerial cable car that journeys from Downtown to the popular amusement park and ski resort Ober Gatlinburg.

Moonshine is a spirit that has deep roots in the culture of the Smoky Mountains so touring a downtown distillery is a great way to get a taste of the local culture. In addition to learning how moonshine is made, you can also try samples of the spirit at places like Sugarlands Distilling Company.

We loved this! Hope to come back again.

It was very peaceful and quiet. The cabin was cute and cozy! The hot tub was wonderful and they had everything we needed. We saw bears. The only downfall, wish we could have stayed longer.

A bit different than expected

We had a nice time and luckily we were the only ones around on the street for most nights. The cabin is in a kind of culdasac with cabins very close next door. I did not understand this to be the case after reading the description when booking. This is not a quiet, secluded cabin. The last few days of our stay, there was a lot of noise, families, people in and out, not much privacy. There are tons of reviews about the bed and couch. Its true the couch is very uncomfortable, hard to sit and relax. The bed is one you either love or hate. Its like pure memory foam, my husband couldn't sleep all 5 nights. The concerning thing is that there are multiple reviews about the bed, even some in the cabin guest book, i am surprised the owner doesnt just change it out for something more standard in light of all the complaints about how uncomfortable guests are. There was a bit , a small bit of mountain views out the back if you look to the side and a very nice mountain view from the front All in all we had a pretty good time.

Peaceful Mountain Cabin

Cozy, quiet cabin in the Smoky Mountains. Well-appointed with a very nice hot tub on the deck. Was a treat to have a record player with Dolly Parton's music! Extra nice to have "beach" towels in addition to bathroom towels and two full baths in such a quaint cabin. I would recommend this property to friends and family.
