An update to our cabin cleaning process

As a property owner and Registered Nurse, a clean, disinfected and sanitized cabin has always been a a priority for us and for our guests. Since the Covid outbreak, we have adopted and implemented a strict anti-microbial (virus, bacteria, fungal) sanitization protocol before and after each guest using EPA registered and approved products to kill the Covid virus. We offer a "contactless" check-in process using a Wi-Fi programmable smart lock. Our linens are never mixed with other cabin linens. We employ a private housekeeper who has been in-serviced on our sanitization and cleaning process. We encourage you to message us with any specific questions about our newly implemented cleaning program.

Strictly a smoke free and animal free property.

Please review the CFAR (Cancel For Any Reason Travel Insurance) offered during the booking process. We highly recommend purchasing trip insurance for your stay. This is optional but not mandatory.

*Strictly a Non Pet/No Smoking Property*

Mattress types can vary based on individual preference. We selected this mattress for it's non-toxic and safe materials :)

Mattress selection was one of the top priorities when rebuilding our cabin. Many guests have said they appreciate our mattress selection and what it has to offer. We found a truly amazing mattress by M-Lily. Unlike most mattress materials, the M-Lily is free from mercury, lead, formaldehyde and chlorine, considered toxic. The M-Lily is made with naturally occurring materials like aloe, bamboo, silk and plant oils (like castor seeds). Safe & comfortable, you will rest easy on this dream mattress!

The cabin would not be complete without our one-of-a-kind grill & picnic area. Follow the sculpted rock walk way down to the grill area which includes a picnic table with umbrella, park style charcoal grill and a couple's Adirondack swing, all with a beautiful mountain view. One flip of a switch will illuminate the grill area with evening LED lights. Come enjoy this truly unique experience!

Good Life Cabin Stay

Perfect proximity to Smokey Mountain National park. Eight minutes from park entrance. Highly recommend the near by Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail scenic drive too. The short paved road to the cabin and paved driveway make for a stress free drive. Hosts are great.

Best cabin we've ever stayed in!

The Good Life cabin is fantastic. It's conveniently located so you can get to either Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge quickly. It's private for a couple's getaway. The view of mountain is beautiful. The cleanliness of the cabin, inside and out, is superior. It has all the amenities needed for any length of stay. We made sure to save the website. We will definitely book with Mike and Angela again.

Perfect getaway!

Everything was so clean and welcoming! The view took my breath away and changed all the time. Lots of cardinals and bluebirds flew around while we sat outside! The whole cabin was even better than the pictures and we can’t wait to come back next year! It’s also close to downtown Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. I’ve driven some crazy twisty TN roads to get to a cabin but this one is all paved and fairly easy to get to. All around, such a great trip! Thanks Angela and Mike!

Beautiful and meticulously clean cabin

Such a beautiful and meticulously clean cabin with beautiful views. The cabin is in the perfect location right between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg both being only about 5-7 minutes away from either. Mike and Angela were the perfect hosts, calling to make sure our stay was perfect. We could not have asked for a better stay. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen fully stocked with all cabinets labeled making appliances, plates, glasses, and utensils easy to find. Don’t hesitate one minute about booking this cabin. I promise you will not be disappointed. The cabin, views, location, and cleanliness, along with the sweetest hosts were amazing.

The Good Life is the Greatest!

Perched on a ridge amidst the Tennessee hills with an awe inspiring view of Mount Le Conte towering in the distance, The Good Life is the epitome of a Smoky Mountain cabin. You can literally see for miles. And, it’s location between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge is extremely convenient. The atmosphere inside the cabin is comfortable and cozy. It’s the perfect place to retire after a long day in The Smokies and town. My wife and I were very pleased. The Good Life was everything we expected. We’ll be back!
