We were really happy with our stay! The only time we needed help with something, the hosts were quick to respond and were very helpful! The kids had THE BEST time swimming in the pool. A beautiful cabin
The weather wasn’t quite what we were hoping, lucky for us, we had an awesome place to stay! We were so comfortable and cozy in this cabin. Our kids loved it! This was our first time bringing our dog along-they had everything we needed to make her feel comfortable as well. I would definitely book with them again-communication was top notch!!!

Thank you so much for this kind review! We’re sorry the weather didn’t quite cooperate, but we’re so glad the cabin made up for it and kept everyone cozy and comfortable. It means a lot to hear that your kids (and your pup!) felt right at home—we love being able to host the whole family, furry members included 🐾
We truly appreciate your kind words about our communication as well—that’s something we take a lot of pride in. We’d absolutely love to host you again anytime!
Great stay. Very clean, nice house with great amenities. Hosts are very accommodating and responsive.

Howlin at the Moon is an excellent Cabin that is exactly what it is represented to be! This Cabin is up to date and very clean. It's location is extremely private and secluded, but you can easily drive to Pigeon Forge in less than 10 minutes. Can't say enough good things about our communications with Mike & Jamie, as our short stay was scheduled extremely "last minute" and their responses to our questions were always immediate, thoughtful and very helpful! We have rented several VRBO Properties over the years and would definitely recommend Howlin at the Moon for an overall satisfying experience

We’d love to host you again anytime you’re back in the Smokies!
Beautiful, clean stay for our family of 5! Host was so accommodating and even had soap and shampoo delivered when we ran out. We would recommend this cabin to anyone considering it! Thanks again for a comfortable home away from home for our Christmas family vacation.

Everything was great! Worth every penny. My only complaint would be that the hot tub was not hot at all, it was very chilly getting on.

Thank you so much for the kind review — we’re thrilled you felt it was worth every penny!
For future guests, we do want to clarify that the indoor spa heats to a maximum of 100°F, as noted in the listing. Because it’s indoors, it operates on a timed heating system (similar to many hotel spas) and needs to be turned on ahead of use to reach full temperature.
We also provide a step-by-step video in our digital guidebook that walks guests through exactly how to activate the heating cycle. If there are ever any questions, we’re always happy to help in real time.
Thank you again for staying with us — we’d love to host you again!
Thank you so much! We’re so glad the cabin was the perfect spot for your Smoky Mountains stay. We’d love to welcome you back for more mountain memories anytime!
We absolutely loved our stay here! The home was perfect for our whole family—spacious, comfortable, and well laid out so everyone had plenty of room. The location was incredibly convenient and close to everything we needed.The steep driveway even added some fun and entertainment to our stay—it’s definitely steep, but totally manageable!The host was more than accommodating and responded quickly to every question we had.We couldn’t have asked for a better place and would definitely stay again!

The cabin was great. Owners responded quickly. The only issue we had was the driveway when it rained. It is very steep.

Thank you so much for your review! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the cabin and appreciated the quick communication — it was a pleasure hosting you.
You’re absolutely right about the driveway — with the cabin’s elevated location, the incline can feel steep, especially during rain. While it's fully paved and manageable for most vehicles, we always recommend taking it slow and arriving prepared, particularly during wet or winter weather.
We truly appreciate your feedback and would love the opportunity to host you again in the future!
Adorable cabin. Loved the Christmas lights on the front porch and the Christmas tree in the living room. The pool was a hit with the kids, although the hot tub never got above a lukewarm temperature. Nonetheless, the kids enjoyed it and didn't complain. This was the best stocked cabin we've ever stayed in so huge bonus points for that. Plenty of portable fans, laundry/dish pods, towels, extra linen, and even snacks. We would definitely stay agin.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear you loved the cabin — especially the Christmas lights, the tree, and all the festive touches. It's always our goal to make the space feel cozy and welcoming, especially around the holidays!
We’re glad the kids had a blast in the pool, and we appreciate you noting the hot tub temp — it’s set to maintain a shared, family-friendly temperature for safety, but we're always happy to clarify that in advance or offer tips for maximizing comfort during your stay.
Your comments about the cabin being the best stocked you've ever stayed in truly made our day! We do our best to provide all the extras that make travel easier — from fans and linens to snacks and supplies — so thank you for noticing!
We’d absolutely love to host you again and appreciate you choosing to stay with us!
This property is wonderful and is exactly as advertised. It was the perfect location close to the parkway with an easy drive to Pigeon forge and Gatlinburg. We loved the electric fireplace, pool table and indoor pool/spa. As previously mentioned in other reviews, the spa takes a while to heat up and doesn’t have a lot of jets, just as a FYI. The driveway is also pretty steep. We had an AWD and had no issues getting up the driveway in dry conditions. There is limited parking around the 2 cabins, as the listing mentions. The cabin was very clean and well stocked with essentials. I appreciated the attention to detail such as having some snacks available and the Christmas lights and fireplace turned on before we arrived. I also appreciated having a guidebook for the property and easily being able to contact the hosts. I would definitely recommend this property, and I will definitely consider coming back in the future.

Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful review! We’re truly grateful you took the time to share such detailed feedback.
We’re so glad you loved the location — being close to the Parkway while still feeling tucked away is one of our favorite things about this cabin too. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the electric fireplace, pool table, and indoor pool/spa. We also appreciate you mentioning the spa heating time and driveway details for future guests — that kind of insight is always helpful.
We’re especially happy you noticed the little touches like the snacks, Christmas lights, and having everything warm and welcoming upon arrival. We really try to create that “walk in and relax” feeling from the moment guests step through the door.
Thank you again for the recommendation — it truly means so much to us. We would absolutely love to host you again anytime!

Why they chose this property
It was love at first sight with these cabins! Traveling with a multi-generational crew the layout of these cabins allows for us to travel together and have space privacy for each family. We love the fact that these cabins are on nearly 5 acres, with plenty to explore, and can be rented together or separately. These cabins hold a sentimental value in that the logs that are in this cabin came from the sawmill that my grandfather and uncle ran when Jaime was a child. Once we learned this fact, we knew it was meant to be!
What makes this property unique
This property is secluded and private, yet 5 minutes from the parkway and the outlet mall!
