About this property

Cozy Cabin with Breathtaking Views – Sleeps 6

Welcome to Smoky Mountain Highlander, a charming 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath cabin nestled in Chalet Village—just 3 miles from downtown Gatlinburg and the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Wake up to stunning views of Mt. LeConte from the upper deck with your morning coffee, or unwind in the hot tub on the lower deck as the sun sets behind the peaks. Inside, the main level features an open-concept kitchen and living area with vaulted ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a wood-burning fireplace—perfect for cozy gatherings.

The cabin comfortably sleeps up to 6 guests:

Two queen bedrooms, each with a full bath

A queen sleeper sofa in the lower-level rec room

A convenient half bath downstairs

The loft offers a quiet nook for reading or relaxing, while the rec room downstairs includes a pool table and lounge space that opens to the hot tub deck.

Located just 15 minutes from the excitement of Pigeon Forge, this mountain retreat offers both serenity and easy access to local attractions. Please note: roads are paved but steep—4WD or snow chains may be required during winter weather.

Nice A-frame. End of the road secluded, but close enough to downtown. We enjoyed our stay.

The house was excellent. The back deck looked out over Gatlinburg allowing us to watch the tram on Ober mountain. Being at the end of the road, we had minimal distraction from neighbors. I would imagine the view with the leaves changing would be indescribable. The dining table provided us with a great amount of space to play games. We were able to communicate with the host very easily. Ease of access to Great Smoky Mountains National Park and downtown Gatlinburg was absolute perfection.

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful review. We’re thrilled to hear that the home, the peaceful location, and the views over Gatlinburg made your stay special. Watching the Ober Mountain tram from the deck really is a unique experience. We’re glad the dining space worked well for game nights and that communication felt easy throughout your visit. Having quick access to both the National Park and downtown is something we love about this spot, and we’re happy it was perfect for your trip. We’d be delighted to welcome you back—especially during leaf season when the view becomes truly spectacular.

The views were gorgeous and the kitchen was fully stocked! It was very steep getting up the driveway but nice being at the top of the mountain. It took about 5-7 minutes to get into downtown Gatlinburg and over mountain which was super convenient! We loved staying here!

The mountain view was absolutely amazing. There's a nice deck with some chairs and a hot tub or a great view from the living room. A family of any age would be perfectly comfortable here. It's the right mixture of being tucked away and having some alone time and being right next to everything you need.

Wow, what a beautiful place! Within 15 minutes of getting there, we reached out to see if we could extend our stay. From the wood burning fireplace to the breathtaking views, it’s everything you would want in a relaxing getaway. Just be warned that the driveway is super tight and the road to get to the cabin is a super steep and windy mountain pass. We did our best to avoid driving at night.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m thrilled to hear that you found Smoky Mountain Highlander so beautiful and relaxing that you wanted to extend your stay right away. The fireplace and those mountain views really do make it a special getaway, and I’m glad you enjoyed them. I appreciate your note about the driveway and the steep, winding road—it’s definitely part of the mountain experience, but I know it can be tricky, especially at night. Your feedback helps future guests prepare, and I’m grateful you shared it. It means a lot that you took the time to write such kind words, and I hope you’ll come back again to enjoy more cozy evenings by the fire and those breathtaking views.

Amazing Cabin with Bear Sightings

This cabin was perfect for our family getaway! It was spotless and had everything we needed. Most evenings, we were treated to the sight of a mama bear and her three cubs playing on the deck—such a special experience. The kids loved playing pool, and the view was stunning. Highly recommend for a relaxing and unique stay!

The cabin was spacious, comfortable, and more private than I expected. The view from the deck is phenomenal, and we loved having breakfast outside as the sun rose over the mountains. We enjoyed the hot tub and even got a quick glimpse of two bears a level below peeking out of the woods! They scurried away at the sight of us (in case anyone feeling wary about them). The location was great - quiet and private, yet a very quick trip into town. Beds were comfortable, showers were hot, plenty of towels, and the TV setup made it easy enough to login to Netflix, etc. We would stay here again!
