Dollywood

We thoroughly enjoyed the cabin. The backyard was great for our family games and the fireplace was great for s'mores. Beds are comfortable and everything you might need was available. We never felt crowded with 15 people ranging in ages 76-3. The manager was so nice and answered my questions in a very timely manner. The hot tub was a hit as well as the 2 big porches. We will be back!!!

Quirky rules but great place

Great place. Rare to have a yard and a view and convenient parking but it did. Some quirky rules with the trash, towels and dishwasher and the downstairs fireplace didn’t work but it was a great place and would come back. Comfy beds, plenty of room and all you needed in the kitchen.

Cabin in the Woods

This is not totally secluded, but seems like it once you get inside. Large back yard area with a little steam. Great for yard games. Plenty of room to spread out inside. The area provides a lot of attractions to keep you busy, winter or summer. Although it is not advertised, if you are military, always ask about discounts everywhere.

Great stay!!!

Great cabin with lots of room and amenities. Plenty of space for all 5 of us. We could have had 5 more without even using the roll always hot water to spare. Hot tub was nice for two at a time. Beautiful back yard. wish it had a DVD player but that's not a problem. Plenty of other options. Would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Hoffman

Host profile image
Hello, I was born in the Midwest in Iowa and moved to Florida in 1982. We live in Tampa and enjoy the wonderful change in atmosphere every time we travel to the Smokies to stay at the cabin. I'm a retired remodeling contractor and made numerous improvements throughout the cabin along with wonderful outside seating areas on the front & rear decks. The yard is big, beautiful and quiet and has a large fire pit for entertaining. You feel like you’re in a mountain paradise.

Why they chose this property

We purchased the cabin after two trips to the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area where we met such wonderful people that give this vacation hot spot such a small town feel. You're close to all the activities that the area has to offer yet far enough away from the hustle & bustle that the night skies are dark and full of stars. Only 20 minutes from the entrance to the Smoky Mountain National Park.

What makes this property unique

The quiet evenings and awaking in the mornings to the sounds of numerous song birds make the cabin a peaceful place to unwind. You’ll frequently see turkey and deer roaming the back yard at dawn & dusk. The cabin is conveniently located near the attractions in the area with everything you need on site for the most relaxing vacation possible. We hope to impress you with the way it's decorated & cleaned and we provide everything you could possibly need during your stay.
