#1 KID'S CABIN!! JUST RENOVATED| CREEK| MINI GOLF⛳️PIRATE PLAY SHIP🏴☠️ HOT TUB
WHY BOOK THIS CABIN?
We took all of the guest feedback, guest reviews, and our experience from our previous cabins to make this complete renovation of Putt Putt Shipwrecked the ultimate Mini Golf Pirate Ship experience.
5 Star Amenities that are just yours!
WHAT'S IN A NAME:
Putt Putt Shipwrecked takes its name from the private mini golf course exclusive to its guests and its location. Shipwrecked just East of the port of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge you will find this cabin to be a buried treasure inside a tranquil valley with mountain views of Mt. Cammerer and a year round spring fed creek inside the Cherokee National Forest.
AMAZING LOCATION:
NO STEEP HILLS, FLAT ROAD ALL THE WAY TO THE CABIN.
Year round the traffic into Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge is the lightest from the East. I personally drive these route almost every day. 25 minutes to both. 5 minutes to the Cosby GSMNP entrance.
KID FRIENDLY!
Every young swashbuckling Pirate needs room to roam. The cabin is set back on a quiet, flat, country road on 3 level acres. Explore your imagination both young and old, aboard your very own private Pirate Ship. Let the spring fed rambling creek whisk you away to sea.

Cabin was perfect for a family of 4. The location was amazing, private but close to all the major hotspots like Pigeon Forge etc. Many places close by for essentials and meals. The apple orchard with restaurant and farmers market was such an awesome place close by. Would stay here again!
Perfect spot for a family getaway. Quiet, cozy, and tons of fun ! Kiddos enjoyed the pirate playground and the creek. Whole family enjoyed the mini golf and just hanging out.
We absolutely loved our stay! The cabin was the perfect mountain retreat for our family. Our kids had the best time splashing and exploring in the stream right outside in their rain boots, and after days of hiking on the many nearby trails, it was such a cozy, welcoming place to come back to.We also enjoyed mini golf and our kids especially loved the pirate ship! While the cabin isn’t super close to the main attractions, that was part of the charm for us. It felt peaceful, private, and truly tucked into the mountains.This stay inspired us to want to come back to the area again. Highly recommend for families looking for nature, relaxation, and a great place for kids to play and explore!
This house is in a quiet area, right on the creek. The creek was great for our kids to play in, the sound of it was even better! The beds and linens were so comfortable and the layout was great.
This cabin had everything a blended family of 7 could hope for. For the first time ever, everyone had their own beds! We were a constant buzz of activity--kids in the creek, kids playing minigolf, kids playing the arcade machine, eating ice cream on the porch, hot tub, reading on a swing, playing pirates. We had SO much fun, and we are so grateful for this magical getaway. This was our longest trip away, yet, and it was the most fun! We have told so many people about this wonderful trip. Thank you so much for welcoming us into your home!
Great spot for a family. Lovely stream that my kiddo can enjoy. My youngest having so much fun being captain on the ship!! Clean and cozy. Owner is very responsive when we have question. Easy check -in and check-out.
We loved this cabin for these reasons, it was very clean, our kids LOVED all the outside activities (esp skipping rocks in the creek). The putt putt course was a hit for all of us.
It was further out than we anticipated but still worth the drive, very quiet neighborhood. The owner was very responsive when needed.
Overall I would highly recommend this cabin!
What a cute place! Our family had an amazing time at this cabin. Kids enjoy the pirate ship playground and whole family got to enjoyed some putt putt time together.
Very quiet location. The river running behind the property is definitely a plus. We loved the river noise❤️
Beds are comfortable and cabin very cozy.
Thank you so much Justin!
Overall great stay. Few areas needed more attention when cleaning from previous guest. That was a disappointment. Cabin was quiet and secluded. Kids loved the pirate ship and putt putt.

Response from VrboOwner on 9 October 2022
We’re sorry there were deficiencies during your stay. We were never notified there was an issue or we would have promptly addressed it and made it right. We have an amazing team of cleaners and maintenance staff that takes great pride in their work. They would have gladly come out and fixed any issues. Thanks again for staying with us and we hope you consider staying at one of our properties in the future.
We loved the property. There were pretty plants, a stream. Everyone was comfortable for a family of 9. The location was a short drive from Newport, TN and I40. All went well.
This cabin was absolutely perfect. The pirate ship playground, putt-Putt, arcade game, and Creek in the back kept our children engaged allowing the parents to relax and enjoy the multiple porches with beautiful views. The cabin was very clean and the host was accommodating. The beds were comfortable and the pirate bunk room was a perfect place for the kids to have their own space. I absolutely recommend this cabin for your next family getaway. You will not regret it!
The property was so much fun! It was off the beaten path which was nice when so many surrounding areas are so crowded and high-traffic places. We really enjoyed all of the "extras" like the putt putt, pirate ship playground, and hot tub. We used all of these several times a day. The porches were all amazing to relax and enjoy some reading or sit and talk to family. We made trips to Pigeon Forge and Sevierville (both took about 30-35 minutes from the house taking back roads), and were able to shop and eat while we were out. When I wasnt sure how to work something, I contacted the property owner, and he was friendly and very quick to respond and help me fix the problem. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere to relax and spend lots of time with family and friends but still be close enough to other places for an occasional outing.
Perfect peaceful getaway for the adults while the kiddos get to play
We enjoyed our stay here so much. We were 2 families of 4, with 4 kids ages 7 and under. They all loved the pirate playground and putt putt, as well as the arcade game. The kid bunk room connected to the top king room was adorable, and they loved having their own space that was designed for them. There were even lights and charging stations with USB ports for each bed in the kids bunk room, which was awesome for charging tablets. The closet and bathroom in the bottom room was HUGE. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with the essentials to cook for yourself. All the decor and details were perfect. The owner always messaged me almost immediately if I ever reached out to him and was always so helpful and kind. The creek was so peaceful to listen to while sitting out on the balcony and read my book. I have nothing but good things to say about the cabin itself and the owners. 5/5 stars from the Lewis family!
We had an excellent stay at this VRBO! The house was very clean, well-maintained, and the property management was great to work with. It was especially perfect for families—there was plenty to keep the kids entertained, which made the trip so much more relaxing for us.The only thing we missed was a fire pit, but that’s on us for not checking before booking—not a reflection of the property at all. Overall, a wonderful stay and we’d definitely recommend it!
The cabin was exactly as listed. Cabin was impeccably clean and beautifully appointed with cozy mountain decor. Everything was in working order.
The pirate ship and putt putt were perfect for the kids when we needed down time from our Gatlinburg day trips. The location is great being with in 30-45 minutes from all the mountains have to offer. Sipping our morning coffee on the back porch in front of the creek was absolutely peaceful as well.
Cabin seemed to be newly updated and everything was fresh and clean. Our only down fall was the not so soft mattresses. My family and I would definitely stay at this cabin again though.
Since no details of the stay were written we are unsure why a 3 star was left. The review was left a month after the stay and reviews on VRBO and other booking sites before and after were 10/10.
About the host
Hosted by Justin & Gennifer
Gennifer and I welcome you to Putt Putt Shipwrecked!
After 23 years of military service we made East Tennessee our hideaway and fulfilled our dream of owning cabins. Our new mission is to make sure we do our part in creating lifelong memories during your visit to one of our cabins, and the Great Smoky Mountains.
I'm currently managing our vacation rentals full time, and Gennifer is a local Realtor, specializing in selling short term rental investment properties in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area.
Why they chose this property
When we use to vacation to East TN with our then young boys we had a hard time finding a kid friendly cabin. I don't mean one with an arcade or air hockey table (although we have that too). I mean somewhere that was level. Somewhere unique where they could run, and play. Somewhere we could just hang out and enjoy as a family if we didn't want to go into town. When we saw Putt Putt Shipwrecked we knew it was going to take a lot of work but the potential was there. We completely renovated this cabin both inside and out.
We're pretty proud of what this cabin has become, especially since we renovated it as if we were 12. We went "overboard," but that's ok. We're confident it will meet our goal, creating lifelong memories during your visit to one of our cabins, and the Great Smoky Mountains.
We have two other Putt Putt Pirate Ship cabin. Putt Putt Castaway and the original Putt Putt Hideaway. Putt Putt Hideaway has been featured in Cabin Life Magazine and other media articles.
What makes this property unique
We took our reno budget, watched the movie BIG, then went to work! Come here and turn the kids loose!!
