Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:

"Great location...Beautiful place for a family getaway! We celebrated my daughter's 14th birthday and they thought the game room & theater space was the highlight of their stay! Definitely will book again!" - Shawnda

"Truly LOVED this place! It was the perfect getaway. We stayed up in the mountains and loved the seclusion and quiet. The amenities were excellent, we spent a lot of time watching movies on the theater and the kids loved the air hockey and arcade games. Highly recommend this to anyone!" - Jason

"Me and my family (17, 11 & 8) booked a quick trip to Tennessee to get away and thankfully were able to find “Carry On” cabin. The interior was unreal with a lower level full of a 70s & 80s kids dream game room. We spent every evenings together in the phenomenal movie theater or hot tub. We would definitely recommend this to any families interested in being alone in the woods and figuring out how to spend some genuine time together and connect with each other on a more nature level. Thank you Joel for your hospitality and the pizza delivery recommendation." - Keith

Great visit while in town for baseball tournament

Our family stayed at the "Carry On" while in town for the Ripken baseball tournament in Pigeon Forge (roughly 22 22-minute drive from the cabin). Joel and Claire are great hosts and respond quickly to questions. The property is exactly as described. It's quiet and roomy in a beautiful location, clean, with plenty of arcade games/pinball/air hockey to entertain kids. Nothing but great things to say about our stay.

Perfect cabin experience!

We have stayed on the same mountain several times over the past 3 years. This was our first time at this cabin, and we’ll definitely book here again. We usually eat in to avoid the crazy restaurants. This is the best stocked kitchen that I’ve ever seen! The owners reached out early with helpful tips of what to bring. The checkin process was super easy. The cabin has a great layout and is very comfortable. Our girls loved the game room! The back porch is lovely and only accessible from the house. In previous a cabin, the porch wrapped around and we were always nervous that a bear would sneak up on us (as it happened twice)! This porch is perfect, you can relax in quiet nature and spot the black bears safely from the deck. We saw a mama bear and two cubs. Perfect cabin!!

Nice cabin

Slept 6 comfortably. Game room and theater room were a big hit. House was clean, WiFi worked fine. Location was good. Driveway fit both of our cars and the neighborhood roads were manageable with regular vehicles (mild conditions during our stay). Enough starter supplies for our visit. My only suggestion in that regard would be to leave a few starter coffee filters. Plenty of towels and extra blankets. Heating and AC worked well.

Amazing House!

Our family of 5 really loved this house! The theater was was perfect to watch this years Super Bowl and movies on! The house is very secluded in the mountains and it was very peaceful. Do pay attention to the 4x4/all wheel drive warnings if you go during wintery conditions as the road up in the mountains leading to the house are very steep with lots of turns.

Romantic yet family retreat

I cannot express the amount of appreciation for our honeymoon surprise of chocolate strawberries and rose petal walkway welcome. The roses and complimentary thermals were just a fantastic top for us. The location was so convenient and yet tucked away so fantastic for the quiet rest. Clean, as described, and we won’t forget their effort for our honeymoon vacation. Our son was amazed by the theatre where we all could play video games together along with the arcade !

Lovely Cabin!!

The cabin was exactly as described and very clean and comfortable. We loved spending our days in the Park and then watching movies in the theater room before heading to bed. Joel and Claire were attentive and responsive hosts providing information about how to work the amenities in the cabin, the best routes to travel to and from the cabin, and the attractions in the surrounding areas. As we were loading the car to leave, a momma bear and her three cubs unexpectedly decided to visit. We had such a great time and would highly recommend this cabin.

Awesome family getaway

This was the first time we stayed at this cabin. We stay a few times a year in this area. This cabin has 3 levels, so plenty of room for our family of 6. The kids loved the movie theatre and game room. We loved the fact that it has smart tv’s throughout. It is very obvious that this cabin has been updated and is well taken care of. It is in a nice quiet area up the mountain as well. Lastly, we had a few minor questions and the owner responded with answers within minutes. We truly enjoyed our stay!

We had a wonderful stay! The owners are very attentive and willing to help in any way. My kids LOVED the theater room. We ended our day there every night. The cabin is in a good location right in the middle of downtown Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. It never took long to get to any place we wanted to go. We had snow while we were there, and the roads were well taken care of. We never had any driving issues. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery!

Cute cabin

Loved the cabin itself! Great views and good parking. Only 4/5 star was due to location- I knew the roads would be tough but I wasn’t expecting the depth of the roads to be as treacherous. Also, there’s contradiction and we were almost run off the road on our way there and didn’t feel comfortable leaving at night. Door dash is available, though. Hosts were great!

Quick getaway.

The cabin was wonderfully positioned to get that mountain feel both inside and out and yet we were able to access Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg conviently. The entire cabin was standout clean and had all of the amenities we were looking for. The hot tub and outdoor deck areas provided great relaxation opportunities. The game room and theater were tremendous. From the beds to the couches, the furniture was all aesthetically terrific and comfortable. All of the communication from the reservations, to the check-in and check out process were straightforward and convenient. The homeowner went above and beyond to answer questions throughout weekend that added that extra element to our stay that has us looking forward to coming back with our entire family.

Loved this beautiful cabin. It was a perfect size cabin for our two families. The kids had a blast playing air hockey, pinball and donkey kong. We loved our family movie nights in the awesome theater room. Joel and Claire are thoughtful and considerate hosts. We appreciated the small things that made getting used to the cabin easy like scanning a QR code to connect to the wifi and a website with how-to videos and information. The kitchen is equipped with quality pots and pans. The beds are very comfortable. Close to attractions in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We were glad that we were in this cabin during the artic freeze. Highly recommend.

Fantastic cabin.... especially with kids!

The cabin is beautiful. If you have children they will absolutely love the arcade room. We actually spent two or three nights in the movie theater room watching movies. The surround sound in that room was literally like being in a movie theater. The only con to the cabin is that if you don't know the area it is in....your GPS will take you up the side of the mountain that I promise you....you don't want to take. When we arrived we were com from the road that transitions you from Gatlinburg to Pigeon Forge. About halfway down that road there is a turn off your GPS will use to take you to the cabin. That route has very skinny roads with hill crest that don't allow for you to know what is coming at you from the other side. I have driven the Road to Hannah in Hawaii and it has nothing on this road. However, after just one day we realized that you could simply go down the other side of the mountain towards Dollywood-Pigeon Forge and the roads are much safer and wider. All you have to do is enter "Upper Middle Creek Rd" and your GPS will take you down that side of the mountain. You will thank me for that tip I promise. I have stayed in numerous cabins in Pigeon Forge and this was one of our favorites. I would definitely stay here again.

Great Stay - Relaxing and Entertaining - 3rd BR is Loft

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Check in was easy - a code was sent via email, and the code worked (that was really all there was to it!). Joel gave me a heads' up they would be out of town and to communicate via VRBO messaging. This was effective, and replies were quick! As an example, one of the light bulbs burned out, and Joel was quick to let me know where I could find more to change them (and offered to send maintenance if I couldn't). The QR code located inside the house had all the information needed to link you to video instructions for the entertainment systems and the hot tub. The kids loved the air hockey table, pinball machine, and arcade. We also enjoyed a movie in the rain, though the internet was spotty for Netflix. The drive up and down is definitely winding and takes about 10-15 minutes. I liked the secluded location, as it was peaceful, and once you get down to the base of the hill/mountain, it's just a 7 minute drive to Pigeon Forge and easy access to Dollywood. *** Note the 3rd bedroom is an open loft, so it does not offer full privacy. I did not know this when booking. It ended up working out okay, but it is something to be aware of.... ***
