The cabin location was perfect. Just far enough away from the touristy parts of Pigeon Forge but close enough to get to Dollywood and other attractions quickly. Everything was clean and well maintained. We would stay again.

Lovely stay in the Smokies

This home was immaculate! There were plenty of dishes, glasses, towels, etc. for our group if 10. The kitchen was stocked for cooking large meals...and we can eat! Plenty of bbq utensils AND an extra propane tank! Check in was completely hassle free and checkout was a breeze. Highly recommend this property. Within 15 mins. drive to the action but away from the noise of the towns....and talk about a backyard! Its huge.

Perfect Vacation home

We really enjoyed the deer valley property. The location is right outside of Sevierville which makes it close to access all attractions but far enough away to be quiet. The fire pit was great. Loved have to driveways and a grass yard to play in. Lots of seating and really felt at home.

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

This cabin is family friendly with a Huge back yard where the children can play baseball, kickball, soccer, volleyball and throw frisbees. All of these toys are provided in the storage tub onsite. An ideal vacation home for large families and reunions.

You’ll frequently see turkey and deer roaming the back yard at dawn & dusk. The quiet evenings are so pleasant and waking up in the mornings to the sounds of numerous song birds make the cabin a peaceful place to unwind. 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.
