About this property

PATRIOT DREAM: GREAT VIEWS, //HOT TUB/ FIREPIT/10 % Act./Ret. MIL/LE DISCOUNT

Patriot Dream cabin is rustic luxury Incredible views front and back, completely rebuilt and improved in April 2023. Two spacious tiled showers, a jetted tub, 3 king beds, and a quality sleeper sofa. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms; the third king bed is in the loft and less private. There is an elevated hot tub, an outdoor gas firepit, outdoor kitchen, exercise equipment on main deck, laundry, gourmet kitchen with gas range, and many extra amenities for enjoyment. MILITARY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER DISCOUNT: We particularly like it when Law Enforcement and Military enjoy this cabin. If you are an Active Duty or retired Military, or an active duty or retired Law Enforcement officer, following your booking and our verification of your status we are happy to discount your stay by 10%. ATTRACTIONS: The cabin is very close to the park entrance to Cade's Cove, Gatlinburg via the bypass, Dollywood, and much more. This cabin is perfect to relax and unwind after enjoying a hiking Smokies or fabulous shows nearby. MISSION: We have vacationed in hundreds of spots. We picked this location to buy, and we have rented it ourselves, because it has stunning views and is close to civilization. The giant wraparound porch has a covered hot tub, perfect even on rainy days. There is a lovely four season reading room off the upper balcony. The loft is not a bedroom, but functions as one (it is adjacent to a bathroom). This cabin allows us us to expose our children and grandchildren to an environment that celebrates American achievement and American exceptionalism. The VIEWS! There are stunning views out both the FRONT and BACK of this cabin of the Smoky mountains and a picturesque valley, as seen in the amazing photographs. Moreover, the Cabin is built to maximize the views. From the Greatroom, you see through the windowed front of the A-frame into the valley. There are balconies with benches out both the front and back, and swiveling chairs on the front porch—indeed, there is a full wraparound porch. SLEEPING SPACES: There are three bedrooms (including the loft area) and a comfortable queen sized sleeper sofa in the Great Room. The downstairs master has a king bed and is adjacent to a bathroom with a large shower. The upstairs master has another king bed, and is adjacent to a bathroom containing a vanity, and a new tiled shower over a jetted tub. There is also a lovely and cozy reading room off the upper balcony. ACCESSIBILITY: Although the road to the cabin feels remote and secluded, this mountaintop is just off Hwy 321 and only 9 miles to Pigeon Forge, and 16 miles to Gatlinburg. EASY ACCESS: Your vacation starts with an easy, scenic drive up a great road, unlike some scary drives to other cabins. Moreover, there are back roads available to avoid most of the gridlocked traffic on the Parkway during busy seasons. AMENITIES: Yes, there is high-speed wifi, satellite television, laundry, a kitchen well-stocked with utensils, and three high-definition televisions. But there is MUCH more. An exercise bike out on the deck, a new hot tub with great jets and a built in light show, a huge gas firepit with swivel chairs, a keyboard, a professional karaoke set-up with soundbar, and a great selection of old-fashioned games to take a break from smartphones. This cabin has proven to be a great blessing to us; and we hope it will be the same for you.

Wonderful Cabin

This cabin was amazing! It is very well thought out, large beach style towels for hot tub use, beds are incredibly comfortable, and the firepit outside by the grill kept our group warm at night in the middle of December while they cooked! We can't say enough good things about our stay at this cabin! Views were absolutely stunning too!cabin

Marvelous views and accommodations

This is a premium "cabin" with a great location and fantastic views of the surrounding smokey mountains. Very close to the Great Smokey Mountain National Park as well as restaurants in the Pigeon Forge area. This new house was excellently appointed with all of the amenities expected for a premium experience.

Beautiful Views

We truly enjoyed our stay at Patriot Dream! Beautiful cabin and gorgeous views!! The property owners were great with communication and provided great detail on places to visit. This was our first time here and I highly recommend this cabin to stay at. Close enough to everything but far enough away from the busy traffic, with great scenic drives to town. Look forward to coming back the next time we visit the mountains!

Stunning cabin with spectacular views!!!

Patriot Dream is by far the most beautiful cabin we have ever stayed in!! It has stunning panoramic views. There are balconies and access to the outdoors everywhere you look. Everything is new and well thought out. I can only speak for the downstairs en suite, but the bed was the most comfortable bed I have slept in recently besides my own. The kitchen is so well-stocked with kitchenware, spices, and condiments that we enjoyed eating in a lot. It is clear that this is not a typical rental. It is a well-loved family home. Communication with the owners was top-notch. We did not want to leave, and we can't wait to go back with our kids. We've been visiting the Smokies for almost 20 years and stayed all kinds of places. Now we can't imagine wanting to stay anywhere but Patriot Dream.

We were extremely pleased with the Patriot Dream property. Wears Valley is a beautiful place where you start the ascent to Patriot Dream. We were close to Pigeon Forge and not far from Gatlinburg. The view from the property is spectacular. I highly recommend staying here.

Mountain retreat

This property is one of the best properties I have rented through Vrbo! The cabin was stunning. It has everything you need to enjoy the mountain experience. The beds were very comfortable, the views are breathtaking! The owners are extremely nice and worked with me when I made a mistake on the weekend that I needed to book. If you plan on visiting the area but don’t want to be in the hustle and bustle . This is the place for you! We were within minutes from the city but you would never know it. I highly recommend staying here. We can’t wait to get back! The rating goes to 5 but I give the Patriot Dream a 10!

Perfection

My family has been vacationing in the Smoky Mountains my entire life. We generally stay on the other side of the Smoky Mountain Parkway because we love to feel like we are secluded in the mountains. We rented the same cabin for the last 5 years or so, but my Dad broke his hip and that cabin was no longer an option for him. When searching for a new cabin, my “must haves” included accessibility, location, and views. This cabin FAR exceeded our expectations. Accessibility: The cabin 100% met our needs in terms of accessibility for my dad. Everything he needed was on the first floor, and we especially appreciated the very deliberate design to accommodate those with mobility issues. Location: Wears Valley is located near Pigeon Forge, but the cabin is a perfect distance away from the chaos, and we felt the calmness and the serenity of the mountains. Views: The views are spectacular, and the wrap around porch, hot tub, fire pit area are all amazing places to relax and enjoy the majestic views. The small book room off the bedroom upstairs was an amazing space that I could easily spend hours in. The cabin is beautiful, well designed, and easy to get to (paved, wide roads - AMAZING). The owners were clearly very deliberate when building, you can see it in every detail. Almost everything you need is provided to make your stay comfortable. We cannot wait for our next trip to the mountains and will stay here every chance we get. You will not be disappointed!

Quiet oasis!

We enjoyed not being in the craziness of Pigeon Forge, but close enough to visit. We went to Gatlinburg and the National Park. Grocery/gas were nearby. The interior is beautiful! If you are a family, you will love this as well. We were 2 couples, and each had a private bedroom with attached bath. The upstairs has a king in a loft setting, sharing bathroom with master. Perfect for children. Rob and Melinda were wonderful hosts, very informative and attentive. We hope to return soon.

Magnificent Mountaintop

A perfect getaway with everything you need including views, privacy, and a cabin with all the little extras you don’t think about beforehand but enjoy immensely. Oh, and bears! We saw two different ones over the holiday weekend. They kept their distance and were not a problem. The cabin has a great grilling area, a wonderful hot tub area, and a private reading room with a tremendous view up on the top floor. This will be our cabin of choice for years to come. Do yourself a favor and book this rental. You will not regret it.

Dreamy!

A week in the Patriot Dream cabin was, for the four of us, dreamy. Every amenity thought of and provided. The cleanest, loveliest cabin.... atop a mountain that not only overlooked the Smokies, but provided an east facing deck to enjoy sunrises, a west facing deck that provided spectacular sunsets, not to mention the valley views that were fog laden in the morning and twinkling like stars at night. And the prime location was perfect, to enjoy trecks to Gatlinburg, Dollywood, Sevierrevile and Pidgeon Forge....where there is so much to see and explore. Well, it was just a perfect week for us. Thank you so much for the delightful experience. One of our best vacations, bar none.

This cabin is in an excellent location, with stunning 360 degree views. The sunsets were a must-see every evening. The cabin is beautiful, clean and has everything you need. We absolutely loved sitting around the fire pit and enjoying family time with the gorgeous mountain views in the evening. We also enjoyed a few soaks in the hot tub.

Enjoyed our first stay at PATRIOT DREAM. It was a pleasure and privilege to stay there. The owners have thought of everything. We will definitely return.

Beautiful cabin in the mountains

The cabin is gorgeous. Plenty of indoor and outdoor space for our group. The views are amazing. Everything was very clean on arrival. Check in and check out was easy. The kitchen is stocked with everything you would need to stay in and cook. The hosts are very friendly and offered lots of great suggestions for things to do and see in the area. The road up to the cabin has a lot of twists and turns as you wind up the mountain but no super steep inclines. Will definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Melinda Croskery

Host profile image
I am a retired Army officer. Melinda is a top rated attorney who has three decades of employment law experience. We love East Tennessee, and consider the Pigeon Forge/ Gatlinburg area to be God's Country. If you are active or retired military or law enforcement, we will discount your stay 10% after you book, We adjust the price following your booking and our verification of your status.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property because it had the best of everything. The views are incomparable, and the wraparound porch with hot tub is a magnificent feature. Unlike some properties with great views, this one has great access up a very good road which is far easier to navigate than almost all others. The quiet side of Pigeon Forge means that, in busy times, you spend more time at attractions and less times in gridlock. This will be our retirement cabin when we are ready to fully retire, so we made it first class in every respect. We have spent over $600,000.00 rebuilding this cabin and making it outstanding in every way; you benefit from our desire to make this property first-class.

What makes this property unique

As of April, 2023, we have completed the year-long rebuilding of this property. It has a brand new wrap around deck in TREX (no splinters) , a giant concrete parking pad, a new hot tub with great jets and a light show, an outdoor fire pit with four rockers, new hardwood, new kitchen with granite and new appliances. It also has an amazing outdoor kitchen and picnic area with a great view of Bluff Mountain. You are close to Pigeon Forge, the entrance road to Cades cove, and have many alternatives to the bumper-to-bumper traffic in season in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. You also have an amazing view out both front and back WITHOUT a scary drive up tiny, bad, winding mountain roads. The road to Patriot Dream is wide, well-marked, and well-paved. Finally, we work very hard to make Patriot Dream an incredible, 5 star, vacation experience. Enjoy!
