Red-Tailed Retreat is an absolutely AMAZING cabin to stay in!! Our family has been to a few different cabins in the area over the years, and all 4 of us agree this is our absolute favorite! The cabin was super clean and well maintained, had absolutely gorgeous views, very comfortable beds, lots of entertainment, and was a great place to relax at the end of a long day. The host was hands down the best we have ever dealt with! Kristen is super communicative & friendly, and very easy to get ahold of if needed. We had one little question and she responded to me within minutes. We appreciated all of her tips and suggestions that she sent to us before the trip such as places to visit, restaurants to try, etc. You can tell that she truly cares about her guests and wants everyone to have a fantastic experience! I highly, highly recommend this cabin to anybody visiting the Smokies :) We hope to come back again!

Relaxing and Fun Family Retreat!

If you’re looking for relaxation, beautiful views and fun, this property will not disappoint! Clean, cozy and well appointed, our family enjoyed quality time together with meals overlooking the Smoky Mountains, watching fireworks from the hot tub, and game nights! This retreat is a true getaway. Allow extra time to travel up and down the mountain to enjoy all that the surrounding area has to offer. The property owners are top notch as well!

Gorgeous cabin!

If you're looking to truly enjoy the Smokey Mountains, this is the perfect spot! Beware that the drive to and from the cabin up the hill is steep and we only tackled it once a day -- which is why we made the most of our days! We loved having a cabin to unwind in each evening and cook our meals and enjoy the sunset from the balcony. Plus, you can watch the Dollywood fireworks from the balcony so there is no need to stay at the park. We traveled with 4 sons 7 and under and they loved the cabin!

Very clean, well stocked cabin. Owner responded very quickly to any questions. Only two drawbacks. The drive up hill on foggy, wet nights can be a nail biter. I’m the day time wasn’t bad. Second was main floor bed sat very high for senior. Bed was comfortable once I got in. 🤣

Breathtaking views

Very impressed with not only the with views and cabin but the impeccable host! We arrived very late night and by no fault of host we couldn’t get the code to unlock the door! Within a matter of minutes our host fixed everything and we were in! If you are looking for views you will not be disappointed with Red tailed retreat. The drive up was not as bad as I thought it would be but it is a nice drive up! The cabin was clean, cozy, and very inviting. Thank you for sharing your family’s beautiful Smoky mountain cabin!

Short getaway before baseball tournament

This place is amazing. The ride up to it was a little scary if you are not use to driving in the mountains but once we walked into the door it was well worth it. The view was breath taking, the place was beautiful inside. To have a bathroom for every bedroom made it so much easier for getting ready in the morning to go sightseeing. We tried every day to get back before dark because of the mountain roads which we did and had a great time in the home. We played games and could watch the fireworks from the deck at Dollywood which was great. We even saw a bear cross the street in front of our cars on our way up the mountain. We had an alarm clock every morning at 6:30 of a tapping noise, we could not figure out what it was. So we went to where the noise was coming from and here it was a cardinal jumping from the hot tub into the window. We tried to put something by the window so it would stop and he won't hurt himself but it didn't stop him. If and when we ever get back this way we would definitely try to stay at this place. We highly recommend it. Thank you for the little treats and wine for when we got there it was much appreciated.

Spectacular!

We loved everything! The 10 minute trip up the mountain is so worth it and we close to Dollywood and the main blvd. Host is very organized and quick to respond to messages. I don't know how old the cabin is, but the feeling was that it was recently built or recently re-decorated/renovated. Met our needs and then some. We felt that we were in a safe and secure environment and fit our 2 SUVs comfortably. We were the last one on that road, which we liked. The checkout list of to dos was very simple and fast to get done. We had previously searched and searched for a cabin that would meet all of our needs with no luck. Until we found this cabin! So happy we found it and it was available. We booked in January 2024 and stayed end of May 2024. The weather was wonderful! 8 people, 4 of which were children. They loved the bunk beds, games, hot tub, and their own showers to share. Loved the details, like the timed light bulb strands on the balcony, the extra big towels for the hot tub, and the fleece blankets! AND THE VIEW! We timed the sunset each day to be sure that we didn't miss it and ate outside at the dining table often. The kitchen had all the appliances we needed, even a crock pot, a keirig, a drip coffee pot, and a tea kettle! I slept on the 3rd floor in a huge king with my 9 year old. The bed was so comfortable and even had its own little fridge. We stayed for 8 nights. Loved all the roku tvs and the spacious showers. I hated to leave!

The view was absolutely amazing, the beds are very comfortable, the cabin was very cozy, we loved every bit of our stay and will definitely be back at some point. Our host recommended some very good attractions, we hiked Grotto Falls and Ramsey Cascades, both hikes were beautiful, Ramsey was much a longer and harder hike but was worth every bit of it. Doly Stampede was another fun entertainment.

Beautiful cabin with spectacular view!

If you are going to Tennessee for a view, this cabin is it! I heeded the reviews and made sure that I drove up the mountain for the first time while it was daylight. The first trip up was a little frightening. By the end of the week, it was no big deal. The cabin has every amenity you could need. The pool is a short three minute drive from the cabin. We had a large SUV, truck, and a smaller SUV which we were able to park in front of the house. Views were absolutely stunning. We were able to watch the fireworks from Dollywood every night also. It’s about a 15 minute drive down to Parkway and the strip. We enjoyed the pool table and games. We had no issues with this cabin. Would highly recommend.

Our family loved everything about our stay here! The cabin was beautiful/clean, and the view was absolutely breath-taking! We had three separate families (6 adults and 4 kids) on our trip and the layout was perfect. The adults had their own comfortable king size beds and adjoining bathrooms. The kids had a queen size bunk room with a bathroom and the oldest child used the fold out bed in the loft to have her own space. When we were at the cabin, we spent most of our time on the decks enjoying the view or in the hot tub! The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes and there was seating for everyone at the table or island. We had plenty of towels/washcloths in the bathrooms and basket of towels on the lower level specifically for the hot tub. We also used the washer/dryer several times, and both worked great. We went to the community pool twice and it was only a 3 minute drive from the cabin. The drive to the cabin is curvy and steep, but that was communicated up front and expected… and completely worth it for the quality of the cabin and the amazing view! We went to Ripley’s Aquarium, Dollywood, Dolly Parton’s Stampede, Tanger Outlet, and multiple restaurants in Pigeon Forge and Sevierville during our stay. The cabin was very convenient to all of these locations (15-25 minute drive to most things). You can also have groceries and food delivered to the cabin (we used Instacart). Kristen was an amazing host and replied quickly if I asked a question. We highly recommend this cabin!!

Wonderful Family Trip

Our family (myself, husband, 4 boys ages 6-14, and grandparents) stayed at the Red Tailed Retreat for four nights over Memorial Day weekend. We highly recommend. Kristen was responsive to any question I had. She also provides a guidebook for the cabin once you've booked with so much information about the cabin and area to help you plan. She provided lots of great recommendations for places to eat that we really enjoyed. The cabin was the perfect set up for our family with how the spaces were laid out. Plenty of room for everyone and very clean. The views from the cabin were amazing! Be aware when planning your outings from the cabin, it does take some time to get up and down the mountain and into town depending on where you're heading. Close to Dollywood. We spent one day there. Two days we did hikes in the park and planned those outings with other activities/eating out to make the most of our time out of the cabin rather than going back and forth. Our boys also really loved the pool table and arcade video games. We'd love to stay here again!

While the drive up the mountain is daunting to say the least, it was well worth it! The cabin and views are spectacular. The cabin was clean, spacious and well thought out. Plenty of space for a larger family/group. The arcade games and pool table were a nice touch! While we didn’t use the hot tub, it was extremely clean! We thoroughly enjoyed our family vacation!

This cabin is one of the best cabins we’ve ever stayed in.The owner communicated check in info in advanced with everything we needed. The drive up wasn’t as at all. We followed Apple Maps and we didn’t have any issues just do the speed limit and take your time. The view was amazing, I can’t put into words how beautiful it was. The cabin was very clean from top to bottom. The kitchen had everything you need if you wanted to cook. It was hard to get door dash up there so we brought precooked food and went out for food. My boys enjoyed the games and hot tub. We stayed on the main floor and the boys were in the basement. The bed was comfortable, we slept pretty good. There were ladybugs and other bugs flying everywhere but that’s expected in Tennessee. We stay in this area at least 3 times a year and I must say this cabin is now in our top 3.Thank you for such an experience.

About the host

Hosted by Kristen Kemp

Host profile image
I live in Middle Tennessee with my husband, Dustin, and our 2 active boys. We love to travel and explore new places. Dustin and I grew up taking family vacations to the Smoky Mountains and cherish the memories that were made during that time. We love to make these memories with our boys as we travel and we would be honored for you to stay in our cabin to make precious memories with your own family.

Why they chose this property

We have tried to create a "home away from home" feel for you to have the most relaxing getaway possible. We used neutral, cozy decor to add comfort to the cabin but not take away from the beauty of the surroundings. We strive to make your getaway as easy as possible providing as many amenities as possible. We want you to be at ease and comfortable staying in a clean, cozy cabin overlooking the Great Smokies!

What makes this property unique

The views are absolutely amazing! The first thing that caught our eye about this place was the mountain top views! You will absolutely love sitting the decks looking out over the mountains!
