About this property

Pigeon River Hideaway on the Little Pigeon River, Smoky Mountains

Pigeon River Hideaway is located on the Little Pigeon River between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Gorgeous views of the river from the deck, screened in porch with porch swing and both upstairs bedrooms. The best rapids on the entire river are directly in front of the rustic chalet. On the upper level is two bedrooms and bathroom, which includes a 2 person Jacuzzi. The main level includes a great room with satellite HD TV, DVD/VCR, sofa, and dining room. Also on the main level is a fully equipped kitchen and additional bathroom. On the lower level is another bedroom with its own private deck to the river and an additional shower.

The rustic cabin is secluded from the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas but close enough for easy access. Relax on the deck and watch the river go by or read a book on the porch swing.

Children under 16 are free. Additional couples are $30/night. For a vacation to get away from it all but enjoy all the activities that Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and the Great Smoky Mountains have to offer.

My family truly enjoyed our stay at this cabin. This was our second annual vacation together, including my husband, his mom, my mom, and me. The cabin was incredibly peaceful, and being by the water had such a calming effect. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained.We especially appreciated the host's clear directions, which made finding the cabin easy and stress-free. We had a wonderful experience and would 100% recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

Lynn's cottage is even more beautiful than we were expecting! I'd especially recommend if you want to escape the mayhem of Pigeon Forge and downtown Gatlinburg in the evenings. The house is full of large windows overlooking the river, including in bedrooms upstairs, which we found astounding. There is plenty of space to spread out, and the walk down to the river, from the lower deck, took us less than 30 seconds (it can be a little hard to tell the exact distance from the pictures). The house hasn't been updated with cheap, uniform rental style. It's cozy and extremely peaceful. The furniture is real, comfortable furniture, not particle board trash. I can't recommend this house enough. Plus, the hosts were thoughtful and communicative!

As others have said, being by the river is relaxing and the side sunporch is a great area to enjoy the sounds of the water flowing over the rocks. The layout of the cabin is not good for individuals who have difficulty navigating stairs. Since there is no bedroom on the main level, one must walk up and down the steps multiple times a day. The downstairs bedroom has no toilet so my 78 year old brother had to climb the steep stairs in the middle of the night to use the toilet located on the main floor. There is a small shower stall downstairs but it’s in a somewhat unkept utility room. The Jack and Jill bathroom in the upstairs had a jacuzzi tub and no shower. There is a nice bathroom/laundry combo on the main floor so that was what the four of us used to shower. The most important note is that there is not a handrail on the stairs going to the upstairs bedrooms, only a maybe 4” or 6” wide board. My sister slipped on the narrow steps and didn’t have anything to grab onto to catch her fall. Fortunately, it was the bottom step and she didn’t hurt herself. The refrigerator doesn’t dispense filtered water so we had to buy drinking water. All in all, the cabin was nice and would be perfect for more mobile individuals. I just wanted to share these issues because I wish i had known this in advance.

The house itself was great, the location was beautiful, the hosts were very communicative, and we loved our stay. The only reason I'm minusing a start is that the beds were a little small and old and weren't the most comfortable to sleep on.

Although comparing short-term rental properties is rarely apples to apples, I’m going to ignore that logic and say Pigeon River Hideaway is easily in my Top 3 — quite possibly #1 when factoring in the host experience. Lynn went above and beyond to make my stay perfect! From working directly with VRBO to help resolve a reservation issue I had (Lynn even called me personally to talk through it), to providing detailed driving directions for the easiest route and promptly answering questions during my stay, he contributed greatly to this glowing review.Of course, the property itself was absolutely amazing. I don’t need to repeat all the details already mentioned in so many other reviews, but the fact that I’m a hiker who usually wants to log as many trail miles as possible — yet chose to spend 2 of my 5 hiking days simply relaxing at the cabin — says a lot.TLDR: Stop reading reviews and just book it Thanks so much for an amazing experience, Lynn!

Loved the cozy feel of this cabin! The sound of the river flowing was relaxing while setting on the back porch or screened in porch! Arrived the day of Christmas and it was still decorated for Christmas so our family was able to still open gifts around the tree! Location was good! Our overall experience was exceptional!

About the host

Hosted by Lynn Fielitz, Ron Fielitz

Host profile image
We are brothers Ron and Lynn, the owners and builders of Pigeon River Hideaway. We’re originally from Ohio, where we spent much of our lives farming and working outdoors, which is where we developed our appreciation for peaceful landscapes and simple beauty. Building this cabin was truly a labor of love for us, and we enjoy knowing that guests from across the country—and even around the world—get to experience and enjoy the same special place that means so much to us. One of our favorite things as hosts is seeing where our guests are from and knowing the cabin we built can bring people together to relax, recharge, and make lasting memories.

Why they chose this property

We chose this location because of its natural beauty and peaceful setting along the Little Pigeon River. The cabin sits in a scenic and secluded area where you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the river, the rapids, and the surrounding mountains. It offers a quiet escape away from the hustle and bustle of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, yet it’s still close enough that guests can easily visit all the attractions, restaurants, and activities those towns have to offer. For us, it’s the perfect balance of relaxation and convenience.

What makes this property unique

Pigeon River Hideaway is special because of its private riverfront location. Guests can sit on the deck and listen to the flowing water, watch the rapids, enjoy the scenery, or spend time fishing right outside the cabin. The seclusion creates a peaceful mountain experience that’s hard to find, while the beautiful river setting makes it feel truly unique. Because we personally built the cabin, every detail reflects the care and pride we put into creating a place where guests can unwind, enjoy nature, and feel at home.
