About this property

Family Matters Cedar Cabin near Pigeon Forge sleeps 8 quiet yet close to action

A Premier Host property!

ESCAPE to the MOUNTAINS for a much needed getaway in this gorgeous cabin located near Pigeon Forge (4 minutes to the parkway). This quiet and warm hideaway is just what you need for time away with family or friends. This cabin sleeps 8 with lots of room and comfort. The master bedroom has a huge four poster king size bed, while the 2nd lofted bedroom area has a king size bed and a separate trundle bed under a twin bed. The living room has a pull out sofa sleeper in the couch. All mattresses are new as of the fall of 2021 with memory foam mattresses. Sleep in comfort. Plenty of room for the whole family! It has two bathrooms so there is plenty of room for everyone to get ready for seeing a show in town! Family Matters even has an enclosed porch right off the kitchen with lots of windows to just sip some coffee or tea in the rocking chairs while taking in some fresh mountain air no matter what the season. With a fully equipped kitchen, spending time together doesn't have to be costly. Cook dinner in or on the charcoal grill and spend the evening playing one of the games that is right there in the cabin or while watching a favorite movie on Netflix or streaming cable. It has wifi as well for streaming the shows you want. This cabin is perfect for getting away from it all, yet being close enough to be in all the action within minutes. It provides the best of both worlds. And, you can pack light because there is a washer and dryer right there to wash things up before you head back home. Family Matters offers free Wi-Fi and also has an air hockey table, many games, and an added arcade machine for those days that may find you in the competitive spirit. Parking is located directly in front of the cabin (only parking for two vehicles). Linens are provided. A starter supply (1 roll of toilet paper in each bathroom, 1 roll of paper towels, etc.) of toiletries is provided. No extra cleaning fees other than one listed in quote. Everything is included in rates quoted. (Any damages will be extra. This cabin is a non-smoking, no vaping, and no pet cabin.) Please bring your own personal care products like shampoo, soap, and teeth care items as those are not provided.

Please note this is a mountain ecosystem. There are bugs, scorpions, snakes, spiders and other wildlife. Most likely during your visit, you will see and encounter one or more of these species, some on purpose and others not on purpose. The biggest question we receive is about scorpions. There are two types of scorpions that are native to the Smoky Mountain area. Neither of these are poisonous like the ones out west. They can sting, but it is equivalent to that of a wasp or bee. While we treat our home for all possible species available through a professional company, scorpions are still able to climb up drain pipes and enter the home. If you see one of these, please do not panic. Simply step on it with your shoe and dispose of it. There is also spray under kitchen sink. They tend to be more active during hot and dry spells, looking for a source of water. So your odds of seeing a scorpion are higher during the summer months when there has been minimal rain. Also, while there is a fireplace, it has electric log system. We ask that you do not burn wood. It causes a fire hazard, and we do not want soot in the house due to people having allergies, plus it is messy. Thank you for following this request.

Rates vary by season. Please see calendar for more information.

A note from the owners - bought Family Matters in 2015 after visiting the area multiple times every year for the past couple decades. After looking at well over a hundred homes, we came across this cabin named Family Matters. It seemed perfect from the get go simply because our family matters so much to us. After seeing it in person, it really fit all of our needs and criteria. We love spending time with our family here and making new memories together. We hope that your family will find it to be a good fit as well. We hope that you all enjoy it as much as we do and have a wonderful trip to the area!

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Huntsman

Host profile image
Over the past several decades, my husband and I both visited the area with our families while growing up. Upon meeting each other, we began the same tradition together, and have continued it with our own kids. The area offers a never ending list of things to do, and we found that we are most happy when we are there spending time together. We finally made the decision about two and half years ago to purchase a home there since we found ourselves navigating back to the beautiful area four to five times a year. Truly, it is the most amazing place on earth that we have discovered. We hope to share our home making many more memories over the years to come with our children as they grow, and eventually their children.

What makes this property unique

So quiet in a peaceful neighborhood, but so close to everything the Parkway has to offer. Less than 10 minutes to Dollywood, and less than 4 minutes to the parkway. Great location for everything you want to do there. Room to spread out, cook in, have game night, etc.
