Enter into the living room where you will find a comfy futon, a fireplace (useable Oct-April), and a smart television. Play board games or snuggle up and enjoy each other's company. Our place is cozy but we feel love grows best in smaller spaces!
The indoor dining table has seating for four provided.
Head over to the kitchen where you have everything you need to make a meal and save some money instead of eating out. We have a refridgerator, stove, oven, microwave, coffee pot, along with all the dinnerware, silverware, pots and pans. If you prefer to grill, we have a gas grill outside and the kitchen is equipped with grill tools.
The bathroom is on the main level and has a standalone shower and a jacuzzi tub big enough for two. Enjoy a long soak after a fun day in town exploring.
A beautiful loft area is where you will find the best place to rest your head. The king bed is just right for a good night sleep. There is also a small desk in the bedroom area if you need to do a little work while you're staying.
On the deck you will find two rocking chairs, a porch swing, and a dining table. Have meals outside, take a seat in the rockers and wind down with a glass of wine, or swing on the porch swing and take advantage of the beautiful weather
We hope you enjoy the Peaceful Side of the Smokies as much as we do!

Owners are excellent at communication and very helpful! Nice little cabin. The cabin is as listed. We had a lot of loss in our family in 2025 and have been griefing the sudden loss of a very close family member. We came here to unwind and regroup for the new year. To walk in and see two large red cardinals (I’m from the south so if you know, you know) was heart warming to say to least. Thanks for letting us stay.
The only downsides were the steps due to the loft bedroom, and the lack of a good turnaround if the other cabin has guests in there parking space. All in a all a very good cabin and setting.
We LOVED this place! It had the "cabin-in-the-woods" vibe we were looking for but was only 10 minutes or so away from town. The place was spotless and well set up. We especially enjoyed breakfast and morning devotions on the back deck. Hosts were super responsive! I think any questions we asked them were answered in under half an hour (sometimes with video instructions!) We would absolutely recommend staying here, especially if you are exploring the Smokies like we were.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. The porch was great! Our elderly pup loved laying out there and taking in all the new smells. Super close to the caverns, and very convenient to town and nearby attractions.
We were looking for a quiet and picturesque getaway for our honeymoon and this charming cabin was exactly that. Relaxing on the porch was wonderful after a day in the park. And despite the rustic charm the cabin was very well equipped, we made good use of the kitchen and the jacuzzi as well. We would love to stay again!
With 3 kids I desperately needed a mom weekend and this cabin was the perfect place for me. I will definitely be back!

About the host
Hosted by Nicole Schroeder
We are the Schroeder family and we have been traveling full-time since September of 2017. We started out traveling exclusively in our rv, but fell in love with short term rentals when we explored Europe in 2019. We have been to all 50 states and over 10 countries as we seek to learn more about the diversity that makes each place unique and special. This cabin is a family passion. We are teaching our children about construction, basic repairs, budgeting, hospitality, compassion, and loving others well. They are involved in this property and we hope that they will grow to love hosting as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
We have cabins in the hustle and bustle of the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area and we decided that we wanted a place to enjoy the Peaceful Side of the Smokys as well. We fell in love with this property for the views and the feeling of relaxation we have when we're here. This is a place that one can truly unwind and enjoy the nature that makes the Smoky Mountains great.
What makes this property unique
This property actually has two small cabins and a house. Perfect for families to rent and have their own space yet still hang out together and make precious memories when they choose. If you are interested in renting out the entire property, send us an inquiry and we'll make sure to find you a date where everything is open.
