Very good cabin with great views. Host was very responsive and the cabin was very clean when we arrived. The checkin and checkout process was very smooth. Only drawback is with the 3rd bedroom. we have to exit the main door and go out to get to basement.

Our family of 5 adults had a wonderful stay at this cabin! The view was amazing. We enjoyed the hot tub and theater room, but most of all the balconies for bird and bear watching. The cabin was well-equipped and check-in was easy. We had no issues at all. There is no longer a fire pit, which was disappointing but we were entertained by several bears, one actually entering the neighbor’s car for snacks. LOCK YOUR CAR DOORS! The bears can definitely open them! Would highly recommend this cabin!

My family of five spent a long weekend here right before Christmas, and we had a wonderful time. The hot tub and movie area were huge hits with everyone. The location is perfect: close enough to be just 10-20 minutes from all the main attractions, yet tucked away for that peaceful Smoky Mountains vibe. This was our third year visiting the area around Christmas, and this property easily had the best views we’ve experienced so far. We’d definitely recommend it to family and friends!

We had so much fun. It’s near the city strip! Kids love the games and theater! It’s set up like a home away from home. We had everything we needed. Take you time on the road up! It was beautiful we had Thanksgiving in this cabin! It was decorated with Christmas decor but it was still nice! YES you will see bears! We saw two and they were babies! 10/10 from us! Phil is awesome!

We had a wonderful time staying at Sophie’s hideout. The view was spectacular, the bear sightings were entertaining and the owner/host was very helpful. Also, the drive up was not so bad, but I do recommend arriving before dark the first time up. I would definitely stay here again.

It was a good time.

Overall it was a nice cabin we did find quite a few things in drawers in different rooms of the house and one of the bedrooms which we had planned to be the kids room was not able to be gotten to from inside of the house but overall a very nice cabin and stay.
