Stunning Mountain Views. Minutes to Nat’l Park. Dog Friendly! Sleeps up to 8.
Private location at the end of a cul-de-sac in quiet neighborhood. Unlike many rental cabin resort areas that have cabins 'right next door' our cabin is situated on five acres, high upon stunning Cove Mountain. This means you aren't looking out onto the roofs of other cabins, nor looking to the right and left of you only to see other cabin decks/porches a few feet away. You can see other cabins at a distance, but not right on top of you. It makes you feel secluded although you are close to all of the attractions and conveniences of the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area.
Our cabin is right on the edge of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Situated in Wears Valley, TN, 10 miles from Pigeon Forge Parkway, and 14 miles from downtown Gatlinburg, this cabin is in an ideal location that many cabin and chalet rentals do not offer.
We feature the fastest internet available in the area. It's a premium business class speed, perfect for working remotely/virtual school. Safely and efficiently conduct your business and school work while enjoying the cozy comfort of the Smoky Mountains.
Our cabin is 2,400 square feet. There are three levels of living space. The main level has two bedrooms, each with a queen bed and private bathroom, the living room has a gas stone fireplace and open concept kitchen and dining area. The kitchen is well equipped with stainless steel appliances and cookware, and leathered granite countertops. There are stools at the kitchen island for extra seating. There is a large deck off the main living area, with plenty of rocking chairs and a porch swing to enjoy the breathtaking views. The space boasts floor to ceiling windows, which makes you feel as if you are floating in the clouds. The views are absolutely spectacular.
The upper floor is an open loft style, with high ceilings and plenty of natural light, which means amazing views from every angle. There are two queen beds on the loft level, and a full bathroom with shower.
The lower level boasts an entire wall of glass with doors to a deck. The deck features log chairs for relaxing, and a hot tub that looks out into the valley. On this level there is a full bathroom with shower, a sleeper sofa, comfy chairs, a bar height table, a pool table, and smart TV with streaming service.
Although the cabin is located high on the mountain, the roads are all well paved providing easy access. The inclines may be slightly intimidating your first time up or down the mountain, but in comparison to many mountain roads, ours is smooth and easy to navigate.
Our cabin may be somewhat secluded, but it is very convenient in that it is not too far from everything in town. There is a gas station (with basic groceries) at the foot of the mountain and a Kroger and Publix only about 10 minutes away. Being so close to the national park entrance means you can take the “scenic route” to downtown Gatlinburg, bypassing the Parkway if you so desire. You'll enter the park via Line Springs Road, through the Metcalf Bottoms entrance to the National Park. This enables you to navigate easily to downtown Gatlinburg and to Cades Cove. If you want to go to Pigeon Forge, the parkway is an approx. 10-minute drive. Shopping malls, premium outlets, restaurants, antique and craft shops, and plenty of attractions are a short drive away. If the crowded areas of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge have zapped your energy, relax on the deck of Next Step Heaven, and listen to nature around you.
Many hiking trails are located near the cabin site, as well as all the National Park has to offer. Trout fishing, horse back riding, mountain biking, and white water rafting are other great adventures to seek while staying at the cabin.

The cabin was fully stocked and perfect for our weekend away. Beautiful views with a perfect location to get anywhere in the area. We loved it and hope to go back!
We loved our stay here! It was clean, well stocked and the views were amazing. The kids loved the game room and staying upstairs in the loft. The beds were comfortable as well. Location was perfect for exploring Pigeon Forge and Dollywood. Highly recommend!
Well stocked, clean and comfortable house. We enjoyed our stay. The beds were very comfortable and the layout of the house was awesome. Highly recommend if staying in the area.
The cabin was everything we hoped for and more! The views alone make this cabin one of my favorite places I’ve ever stayed. Nothing beats waking up to that view. The cabin is well stocked for entertainment, meals, and relaxation. Check in and checkout were a breeze too. I wouldn’t change a thing about this property and can’t wait to return!
This house is a great homebase to visit the national park without having to bear the traffic of Gatlinburg! It’s peaceful with a beautiful sunset view. The furniture and kitchen supplies are among the best I’ve seen at a rental house. Great place!
The view in this cabin is absolutely stunning. It’s a gorgeous property, is super clean, and has wonderful amenities. It is secluded enough to feel rural but close enough to Gatlinburg, Dollywood, restaurants, and grocery stores. We had an amazing time and hope to return one day!
Incredible stay at this cabin. Stunning views, very clean and private cabin. Owner is nice and very communicative, will def consider staying here again.
When it says Stunning Mountain Views, it's no joke. This was truly one of the most wonderful places we've stayed. As hosts ourselves to 7 condos, we know what it takes to make things special and we made so many memories as a family! From sitting on the chairs and swing drinking coffee or watching the sunset (every night) to the hot tub, to pool, to lounging and talking and hiking and eating, you will not be disappointed. My son's 25th birthday was while we were there and he said it was the best one yet! We definitely want to return.
Cabin and location was perfect for our getaway. Very clean, plenty of cookware if you want to cook. Neighborhood is nice a quiet and views are Amazing.
Thanks for a great stay!!!

Kevin, I'm so pleased your family enjoyed your stay. Thank you for choosing Next Step Heaven for your Smoky Mountain vacation.
We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful cabin in a great location. Everything was perfect. The kitchen was stocked exceptionally well and everything was in good condition and organized. The towels smelled fresh and we had plenty. I appreciated the hand soap and supply of trash bags and dishwasher soap. It felt more like home than some cabins that feel more like hotels supplies wise. The view was gorgeous and we loved the swing. Our dog was also very comfortable and we loved having her with us.
