About this property

Sunset View - Genuine Log Cabin with Fabulous View

Sunset View, our genuine log cabin, is nestled in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, just off the 441 spur. The semi-secluded cabin sits almost at the top of a mountain, giving a sensational view and a simply heavenly feel. Yet within 10-15 minutes, you can be at any of the major attractions of the Smokies.

The log cabin was built by the renown photographer of the Smoky Mountains, James Thurston. Its suite-like floor plan with large rooms containing open beamed cathedral ceilings, along with a warm, cozy décor make it the perfect cabin for a family or two couples. Each bedroom has its own attached bath.
You don't have to leave behind your four legged family members either. Sunset View is Pet Friendly! (Sorry, dogs only.) A large Pet Porter is stored in the lower level closet to be used when the family wants to go out for the evening, yet be sure 4-legged family members will be safe, as well as the cabin. $75 pet fee is based on a maximum of 2 dogs. Contact owner for consideration of 3 dogs.

Sunset View is a cabin you'll want to return to again and again for a special relaxation and peacefulness that you can only experience from a porch swing, while watching the sun melt over the mountaintops.

** Major Holiday stays require a minimum of 4 nights, some only 3 nights (Memorial Day, President's Day, Labor Day, etc.) ** Wednesday before Thanksgiving must be booked with Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Eve must be booked with Christmas Day.
** Extra Adult Fee - There is a $20 (per person, per night) fee for each adult over the number 6. **

You get your money's worth

The one complaint I have, is that the property could use some 'updates'. That being said, for the price you pay, you can't ask for a better spot. Very dog friendly, and plenty of space to walk them. My Shepherd spent a bunch of time on the back deck looking at wildlife. It's also a decently quiet road, without a lot of traffic.

Awesome View! Exceptional Stay!

Definitely a little piece of heaven right in between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. So nice to have a little relaxation and peace amongst the busier city areas. Gorgeous view! Made breakfast every morning and ate it out on the porch. Very spacious and ckean. We absolutely loved it!

Perfect Location with Breathtaking Views

We had a wonderful time during our stay. The views from both porches are absolutely breathtaking. The cabin was clean and cozy. The fireplace was the perfect touch to a fun family night in. The location is close to both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge along with Smoky Mountain National Park. I definitely recommend staying here.

Wonderful time at Sunset View

Alice’s cabin was perfect. The neighborhood was great. View outstanding. A true cabin vibe up here in the mountains. Plenty of space. Loved using the fireplace. Top porch balcony was our favorite place to sit. Zero complaints.

Last trip as family of 3

We had a great time at Sunset View. It was in a great location in between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Close enough to everything, but far enough away to get the mountain/cabin life. This location was perfect for what we were needing for our little family trip. Look forward to staying here again.

Best Fall Trip

This cabin was absolutely perfect for my little family. Everything we thought to bring was pretty much here already. And it has the best view off the back deck, my kids (3 and 4) loved to sit on the swing. Would recommend to anyone. Plenty of room and laid back stay.

Beyond Amazing

I cannot say enough great things about our trip here this summer. The space was amazing for 2 adults, a 4 year old and a dog. We spent so much time on the balcony just seeing what all the different weather and lighting did to the amazing views. This was a beautiful location outside of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg but close enough to spend time in both daily if desired. We had the most magical trip and this cabin was the icing on top. I would 100% go back.

Very nice cabin, just be brave on the drive up.

House was perfect for our family getaway. However this is a pet friendly house and i dont know if the prev guest had a dirty dog but the dog smell was really strong. We just had some spray and candles and were ok. The bedding and sofa cushions DID NOT SMELL. The road up is almost one lane in 1 spot so just be careful. U will have a great time we would totally book again

Restful Retreat

Despite it raining almost every day, the view was so amazing. The upper deck has a wonderful sitting area. Kitchen fully stocked. Road to the cabin was a little narrow but enough room for 2 cars to pass each other, just. To be expected and an easy price to pay fir the view.

Best Vacation Rest Ever

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. It truly was the best rest ever. The area was remote, yet close to everything we needed. We had privacy even with other cabins around. We usually stay in the middle of the action, but the cabin allowed us to truly rest and still get involved in that action within a matter of minutes. Great place to lounge and read on the back porch. Highly recommend. The cabin was well kept and comfortable. We would do this again.

Great weekend outside Gatlingburg/Pigeon Forge

Cabin was really great. Online photos are outdated and don't show off how nice it is. We had 6 people but you easily could have slept 8. Porches and view great. Location between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge was great. The only drawback but the owner's seem to have a dog and did not clean up enough after the dog. It wasnt a big issue, but there was dog hair in places.

Lovely Just as listed.

Cabin isn’t new but very clean and inviting. Perfect for a family of 4-8 with two separate bedrooms and baths. Another game room has a pull out bed. Washer and dryer. Hot tub looking west to enjoy sunsets. Worked out great for us. Alice was easy to get a hold of. No issues for us.

About the host

Hosted by Alice Curnick

Host profile image
Charles and Alice Curnick live in Louisville, Ky. Charles is a retired maintenance man from Jefferson County Public Schools and Alice is a retired elementary teacher. Both love the great outdoors. They live on a mini-farm with 3 horses, 3 labs (one yellow, one chocolate, and one black), 4 cats, and 'too numerous to count' goldfish in their backyard pond.

Why they chose this property

We visited good friends, who are now our neighbors, for a weekend visit back in February 2005. We fell in love with the mountaintop and the fabulous view from it. One truly feels closer to heaven in the mountains!

What makes this property unique

We have made our cabin more than just logs and furniture. Everyone who stays tells us how warm and cozy it is. It is 'home away from home'. A very short drive from the Smoky Mountain Parkway, right in the middle between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We are just 10 minutes from Dixie Stampede and Dollywood. For the nature lovers, the location of the cabin allows quiet morning and evening walks up a picturesque mountain road. Only a 30-40 minute drive to Cade's Cove. 20 minutes to Five Oaks Mall and many shows in Pigeon Forge.
