We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Smoky Mountain Splendor. So nice you could celebrate your birthday by getting away together. Our hot tubs do not have those really strong massaging jets. Our tubs are for hydrotherapy, relaxation or pleasure. Not to give you a message. Sorry you were expecting a different kind of hot tub. We look forward to working with you again on your next Smoky Mountain Vacation.

Took my kids up for a quick getaway over spring break. The cabin was more than we could have hoped for. Between the game room, movie theater set up and hot tub, the kids and I were incredibly happy. The cabin had all the extra amenities that made it a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. Will 100% stay there again

Staying at Smoky Mountain Splendor was a truly exceptional mountain getaway, made perfectly stress-free by the cabin's incredible layout and its thoughtful, high-end pet amenities.

Finding a truly pet-friendly spot can be tough, but Smoky Mountain Splendor was perfect for us and our two dogs. Our favorite feature was the fenced-in yard connected directly to the bedroom—it made morning and late-night let-outs so much more convenient. We also really appreciated that crates were provided; having that especially large one available in the bedroom was awesome and saved us so much packing space. There was plenty of room for everyone to relax, and the host’s list of local pet-friendly activities was a great touch. If you're looking for a comfortable, secure spot for a Smoky Mountain adventure with your furry family members, this is it!

We too love the location. When sitting on the wrap around deck, it feels like you are far off in the country. Yet, you can be on the Pigeon Forge strip in less than 5 miles. The lot is wooded on the sides and back and open in the front so you can see the far off mountains. So glad you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to hosting you again on your next Smoky Mountain Vacation.

We too love the location. It feels like you are way off in the country however, you can be on the Pigeon Forge Parkway in less than 5 miles. Very easy to get around Pigeon Forge and Sevierville utilizing the back roads. We are so glad your fur babies enjoyed the dog run. We just put that in recently. Not having to harness up and leash your dogs every time you go outside is a plus for us on vacation. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Beth & Bill Schaefer

Host profile image
My husband and I have two young adult children. We have a boy and a girl. They are both still going to school for higher education.
I have been trying to take my children to different National Parks every summer before they get so old they do not want to vacation with us. We hit the Smokies and now we normally spend our time there.
My husband was very resistant to travel on vacation somewhere that was 10 hours away. But, when we got to the cabin, he said I could drag him 10 hours anytime.

Why they chose this property

Smoky Mountain Splendor offers convenience and privacy located just 5 miles from the Pigeon Forge Parkway, 9 miles from Dollywood, only 14 miles to Gatlinburg, 10 miles to the Metcalf Bottoms entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and 25 miles to Cades Cove.

We love the mountain views. The kids love all the activity. They never get bored. I love the hikes in the Great Smoky Mountains. I also love all the history in the area. This seemed like the perfect place for us to buy a vacation home.

What makes this property unique

Smoky Mountain Splendor is an elegant cedar log sided cabin located in the quiet community of Crest View.

Smoky Mountain Splendor is on 2/3 of an acre. It backs to parkland and a farm. You will enjoy roosters in the morning and not much more in the way of noise.

Picturesque country roads lead you to your mountain adventure without the steep climb.

Down the road from Smoky Mountain Splendor find the peaceful side of the Smokies in quintessential town of Townsend. Grab a meal at Firefly Cafe loaded with local charm. Stop off at Little River Railroad and Lumber Company Museum dedicated to preserving the heritage of the region.

There is a dog run off the lower level patio.

There are horse shoe pits in the yard.
