About this property
Unobstructed Smoky Mtn Views + Fire Pit + Hot Tub
Birdsong Ridge offers what most Smoky Mountain properties promise but rarely deliver: a truly unobstructed, panoramic mountain view — wider and more expansive than nearly any comparable property in the area. Guests consistently tell us the photos don't do it justice. From the wall of windows in the main living room, the upper balcony, the screened porch, the fire pit, and both master bedrooms, the Smoky Mountains stretch before you in every direction — sunrise to sunset.
🌿 Spring & Summer at Birdsong Ridge — Wildflowers, cool spring mornings, and stunning sunrise views give way to a lively summer season. Easy access to the best hiking, fishing, and swimming in the Smokies makes this the perfect base for outdoor adventure.
This 2,400 sq ft mountaintop chalet sleeps 12 comfortably across 5 bedrooms (3 kings, 1 queen, 1 bunk) with a private bathroom for every room. Tucked on a private mountaintop road in Pittman Center — just 4 miles from the Greenbrier entrance to GSMNP — it's secluded enough to feel like a true escape, yet close enough to Gatlinburg and the national park for easy day trips.
🌄 Living Room — Floor-to-ceiling windows frame a sweeping, unobstructed panorama of the Smoky Mountains — one of the widest and most breathtaking views you'll find in the region. Vaulted ceilings, rustic wood paneling, and mid-century architecture create a space that feels both grand and cozy. Step out onto the balcony and let the mountains fill your entire field of vision.
👩🍳 Kitchen & Dining — Fully equipped for a group feast. Pots, pans, Crock-Pot, hand mixer, and everything in between. The dining table seats 8, with a portable table accommodating 4 more.
☕ Coffee Bar — Start your morning right. The state-of-the-art automatic espresso machine crafts lattes, cappuccinos, and more at the touch of a button, stocked with beans, pods, and syrups.
🎮 Game Room — A 60-game multicade and PS4 keep everyone entertained on slower days. The futon pulls out to sleep 2. Plus board games, books, and a children's nook for the little ones.
📺 7 TVs — Every room has a 49" flat-screen with Roku streaming. No cable needed — just log into your favorite apps.
🔥 Two Fireplaces — Perfect for crisp fall and winter evenings when the mountains take on their most dramatic character.
🛌 BEDROOMS 🛌 1 — King, upper level. Spacious master suite with spectacular unobstructed mountain views and ensuite Jack & Jill bathroom with walk-in slate-tiled shower. 🛌 2 — King, upper level. Full bathroom adjacent in hallway with slate-tiled walk-in shower. 🛌 3 — King, lower level. Opens directly to the screened porch with mountain views. Full bathroom just outside in the hallway. A large table and chair make it a great quiet workspace too. 🛌 4 — Queen, lower level. Private ensuite bathroom and mountain views. 🛌 5 — Twin/Full bunk beds, lower level. Perfect for kids, with private ensuite bathroom and Smart TV.
🌲 OUTDOORS The views don't stop inside. The upper balcony, large screened porch, and deck all face east toward the mountains — perfectly positioned to catch the sunrise as it crests the ridgeline each morning. Gather around the smokeless fire pit as the evening settles in, or unwind in the private 6-person hot tub, tucked under the back porch and surrounded by lush mountain greenery.
👨🍳 A high-end electric grill on the back deck is ready for cookouts, with 12-person outdoor dining.
🏞 Getting Here — You'll travel true mountain roads to reach Birdsong Ridge — steep, winding, and worth every curve. The driveway is steep but fully paved and wide. ❄️ 4WD is strongly recommended and will be necessary if snow or ice is present — a real possibility December through February. Travel insurance is strongly recommended for winter stays.

Thank you so much, Kendra, I'm so glad you loved our cabin and the views! We would love to have you stay again.
Absolutely loved this place. Very clean and well stocked. Spectacular views. The views do come with a price-long steep narrow roads but entirely worth it! Amanda, our host, was very responsive to questions and made check in a breeze. We were in town for a wedding so had limited time to actually sit and enjoy the home and all it had to offer. Highly recommend.
We had a wonderful experience at Birdsong. The house was clean and equipped with everything we could need. It has the most beautiful view!! Amanda was readily available for any questions we had. While we were there a storm moved through and the power went off. She let us know the power company had been informed and were working on repair. We would definitely stay there again!

Thanks Haley, I'm so glad you enjoyed the location and your stay!
The location was perfect for a quiet trip to the Smokies and area. The view from the house was great. And there was plenty of room for 11 people across generations.

Thank you, Deborah, we're so glad you enjoyed the house and look forward to having you back!!
We had a fabulous time! Cabin was very clean, which is my number one concern. We had lots of space for the eight of us. The kids (all adults) enjoyed the arcade game and hot tub. My favorite things was the view, it was amazing! Wanted a great view to share with the kids and we got it. Thank you!

Thanks Melissa, I'm so glad you enjoyed the house and the views!
The views from this property are gorgeous. The location is a bit remote but that is the point of being in the mountains. We had 6 adults and 6 kids with plenty of room for all. You do have to use the futon if sleeping 12 but with 10 everyone can easily be in a room. The property was maybe the cleanest nightly rental I have ever stayed in. The host communicates well. Overall we had a great stay and would choose this property again.

A First-Class Getaway with Breathtaking Views and Exceptional Amenities!
From start to finish, the experience was amazing. Amanda was so welcoming and very prompt in responding to my questions. Check-in was super easy. The views were absolutely amazing!! We enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit and the arcade game was a blast!
Cleanliness is my top priority, and this home exceeded my expectations. The interior was spotless, and it was evident that meticulous care had been taken to ensure a welcoming environment.
Check-out was a breeze and there wasn’t a long list of to do’s before we left. It was truly a beautiful stay and I can’t wait to come back!
Thank you Amanda for the wonderful getaway!

Thank you so much Heather!! I'm very glad you enjoyed your stay and our gorgeous views! Thank you for being a great guest--we'd love to have you back someday! 😊
Due to inclement weather, I was pretty worried about our party making it to the cabin before the weather started to get nasty. Amanda worked with us for days prior to our reservations to get us in there at a decent time. Seriously, I have 37 emails between us just regarding the timing, the weather and the logistics of our arrival. Once we arrived, we found a few issues that needed to be corrected and within an hour, she had somebody out to fix everything. The list of departure items was one of the easiest of all the rental places I have booked on . Amanda, thank you so much for making my husband's surprise birthday getaway such a resounding success!

About the host
Hosted by Amanda
Adventurous and always up for new experiences, I’ve been drawn to the Smoky Mountains for years — the views, the peace, the food, and the small-town charm never get old. As a West Coast native who once called Tennessee home, I love helping guests discover the same magic that keeps me coming back.
When I’m not exploring mountain trails or searching for hidden foodie gems, you’ll find me tending my home orchard on the Oregon coast with my family and our happy crew of pets. Hosting lets me share the beauty of these places I love — and create stays that feel just as special as the memories you’ll make here.
Why they chose this property
We created Birdsong Ridge to be the kind of mountain retreat we always looked for but rarely found — a place that feels peaceful, private, and connected to nature, yet close enough to enjoy everything Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge offer.
What makes this property special to us is the view — wide, unobstructed, and sunrise-facing. Whether you’re sipping coffee at the espresso bar, watching the fog drift through the mountains, or relaxing by the fire pit under string lights, there’s a sense of calm here that’s hard to describe until you’ve felt it.
We love that guests can spend the morning hiking in Greenbrier, the afternoon exploring town, and the evening back here — grilling dinner, soaking in the hot tub, or just being together. It’s a place for slowing down, reconnecting, and remembering what matters most.
That’s why Birdsong Ridge exists — to give families and friends a true Smoky Mountain experience: quiet mornings, unforgettable views, and the kind of peace you take home with you.
What makes this property unique
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Smoky Mountains, this one-of-a-kind chalet offers an extraordinary vacation experience, blending the awe-inspiring natural beauty of its surroundings with a unique architectural design. The stunning vistas visible from every angle of the property are nothing short of majestic, highlighting a landscape that is as enchanting in the morning light as it is under a canopy of stars. The chalet's prime location affords these incredible views and situates guests in the heart of nature's splendor.
The architecture is a unique fusion of traditional cabin elements and mid-century modern aesthetics, creating a space that is both warm and stylish. The classic cabin charm, with its use of natural woods and stone, evokes a sense of rustic coziness, while the mid-century modern influences bring in clean lines and unique angles. The design caters to those who appreciate the comfort of a cabin, as well as those who seek a more modern aesthetic.
Inside, every detail of the chalet has been thoughtfully considered to enhance your stay. Large windows and open-plan living spaces ensure that the stunning mountain views are always in sight, creating a seamless connection between the indoors and the natural world outside. The interiors are outfitted with furnishings and decor that complement the overall design, offering both comfort and style. State-of-the-art amenities, including a fully equipped kitchen, 6-person hot tub, and an automatic espresso machine, ensure that your stay is as convenient as it is enjoyable.
The chalet's outdoor spaces are just as remarkable as its interior. Expansive decks and patios provide the perfect setting for dining al fresco, star-gazing, or simply relaxing in the mountain air. These outdoor areas are designed to maximize the panoramic views of the Smokies. Whether enjoying a morning coffee as the sun rises or gathering around a fire pit on a cool evening, these spaces invite you to connect with nature.
