About this property

Escape From Reality - Deluxe 7 person hot tub. Frequent bear and 3 cub visits.

The Escape from Reality lodge is a luxurious cabin that begins with a stunning great room with a large fireplace. The “to dream about” kitchen is complete with all stainless steel appliances, a huge island, and granite throughout the cabin. All rooms are huge in this cabin, including 2 spacious master bathrooms with stone dual showers. This cabin sleeps 12 people with a King, 2 Queen beds and 3 Queen sofa beds. Many guests have commented on how comfortable the beds are. There are 5 smart HD TVs, one in each bedroom, the game room and a 4K TV in the great room. Bring your computers and stay connected with free high-speed 500MPS internet. There is a bedroom, bathroom and covered decks on all 3 levels. The large deck includes a swing set, a 9 foot picnic table with end seats and a gas grill. A unique mountain amenity is that this cabin has clean city water. Note that all inside surfaces are wiped down with a disinfectant after each stay. Child friendly with games and a high chair.

The game room includes a new Foosball game, pool table, dart board, a large fireplace, and corn hole on the deck. After competing, relax in the new 7 person deluxe hot tub, complete with a waterfall jet and watch the amazing wildlife nearby. My favorite thing to do is sit on the deck and listen to the calming sound of strong rapids of a stream right behind the property.

This family friendly cabin is located at the Cobbly Nob resort, which is 12 miles from Gatlinburg. It's located in a private mountain community that sits on 1000 acres right next to the Smoky Mountain National Park. The Cobbly Nob amenities include 3 outdoor pools at different locations , a golf course and a new "All Most Heaven" wedding chapel at the top of the mountain. New Pickleball courts and the new Timber Ridge Pool with a connecting park opened in 2024.

The Gatlinburg Community Center is only 6 miles away. This facility is perfect during the winter months. There's a large indoor swimming pool, bowling alley, racquetball court, pool table, ping pong table, fitness area and gymnasium with many basketball courts. The fee for the pool and bowling alley is only $3.

The Bent Creek Golf course is a short 2 miles down the mountain. A fantastic river for trout fishing and scenic hiking trails are only 7 miles away. The Climb Works Smoky Mountains – Zipline Tour is 2.5 miles away.

Very happy with cabin. Once we stocked up on supplies we never had to leave. There were enough entertament for the kids that they did not want to go anywhere which is exactly what I was after. Being on a dead end road there was not any traffic so it was very peaceful. Would definitley recommend this place.

We stayed at Escape from Reality for five nights and it was perfect. There were three couples and we had plenty of room to socialize while a bedroom on each level offered quiet space to rest.The kitchen was well stocked, beds were comfortable, and the property was clean.The location was quiet with a beautiful view. We saw bears twice during our stay which was an added bonus!We enjoyed our time and if we are ever back in the area we would stay again.

We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived! Our stay was just as we visioned it. Be careful venturing outside on the decks in the evening or morning, we had multiple visits from the welcoming bear committee. I would stay here again!

Thank you John for letting us enjoy your property. Great view, super cool experiences. My first time driving up a mountain to stay in a cabin and seeing bears so close to me; visits every day. We even got to see a turtle, snails and a raccoon that came to visit us while being on the first floors deck. Loved the jacuzzi and everything in the house. Thank you from the Topete Family.

About the host

Hosted by John Elliott

Host profile image
My wife Melanie and I are from Dayton, Ohio. After visiting the Smoky Mountains, we fell in love with the area and the endless activities. Our favorite thing to do there is hiking to one of the many waterfalls. The frequent sightings of bears playing with their cubs keeps us coming back.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is perfect for taking walks on the roads and observing the wildlife. The maintenance team does a great job of immediately plowing the roads to keep them clear in the winter.

What makes this property unique

A lot of cabins have narrow decks. Our cabin has a wide wrap-around deck on the main floor. This allows for more room to play games, like corn hole.
