About this property

Cobbly Nob Cabin in Gatlinburg, Hot Tub, 20 min to NP

"Sunset in the Smokies" is a cabin located in the Cobbly Nob community in Gatlinburg. Cozy and updated with modern decor, it backs up to the national forest for privacy and a true mountain experience. With only one neighbor nearby, it is peaceful and quiet. Twenty minutes from the Greenbrier entrance to GSMNP and a 15 min drive to downtown Gatlinburg for all the fun! Pigeon Forge/Dollywood is about 40 min away.

Our cabin is equipped with 2 master suites (one King/one Queen), fully stocked kitchen, wood burning fireplace (use in Oct-April only), whirlpool room with jetted tub, two decks and a private hot tub. There is a new, memory gel foam Queen sleeper in the living room that can comfortably sleep one adult or 2 kids.

Please note that firewood is not provided - you can purchase firewood bundles at the Cobbly Nob market nearby. There is a park-style charcoal grill outside the front door for grilling (bring your own charcoal).

Enjoy the community pools in the summer months - one a short 5 minute walk away! There is also a pickleball court and a basketball court in the community, as well as a 24/7 manned security booth at the entrance.

Please note that you will be in the mountains and the roads are steep, narrow and winding in places! The driveway up to the house is steep but accessible with 2WD.

**PLEASE be advised that black bears, including a mother with cubs, have been seen with frequency on the property (spring/summer 2025). If you are opposed to seeing a bear, a different property would be more suitable.

**Additionally, views are seasonally affected by foliage in the area and may be more obstructed in the spring/summer due to leaves on trees.

The cabin is tucked away in a quiet area and very clean. I picked this place on others reviews on cleanliness and it did not disappoint. The owner was quick at responding and sent something I noticed missing within hours via instacart! The hot tub was a perfect spot to relax after long days hiking! The arcade barrel was such a FUN touch!! I don’t know who played it more, my son or husband!! The only suggestions I would have is adding some string lights on the bottom balcony. There was only one light by the hot tub, and secure all the loose boards on the upper deck. Overall, great stay! Hope to be back someday!

You’ll get your monies worth just stargazing on the upper level deck! This place has everything! The comfiest beds. Amazing views. Fun games! We played Pac-Man a lot! And apparently the bears in the area like to be serenaded! My partner was playing his guitar when a bear just walked up out of no where! So cool! We saw a bear every day of the trip

Smoky Mountains

Overall, we enjoyed our stay here. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The cabin was clean. We did see a mama bear and cub the first morning we were there! I was disappointed with the view. I was hoping to see the sunrise and sunsets, but there were trees very close to the cabin and another cabin blocking the views. I feel the picture posted online is very decieving.

Host responded very quickly to messages. Some items that were listed on the welcoming paper inside were not available at the cabin like stated, which was very disappointing. All the downstairs lights flickered while they were on, which was also very disappointing. The towel racks in the master bathe fell down very frequently if something was hung on them. But everything else was great. The drive to the cabin was amazing and the bed was very comfortable and soft.

Quiet and relaxing

Our stay was great from checkin to checkout. Roads are curvy and steep but ride enough for passing traffic. GPS brought us right to the house. While there is a house close by, it was very quiet and relaxing. Motion light at night was really nice and allowed us to park and get inside more easily. House was clean and comfortable.

Awesome cabin!!

This cabin was awesome! She had everything stocked, the hot tub was GREAT! The hills to get to the cabin isn’t too bad, the driveway is very steep but doable and as expected in the mountains. The host was very attentive and messages back almost immediately. We had no problems at check in or check out. Cabin was cleaned spotless, beds were SO COMFY! 10/10 recommend for couples or families!!

Perfect Smoky Mountain Getaway!

Everything was just as expected. The cabin was very clean. We loved the privacy and location! There were even some basic amenities included, such as some paper towels, toilet paper, tissue, hand soap, dish soap & sponge, and dishwasher and washer soap pods. These were very appreciated! Also want to note that the king bed was very comfortable, the blackout curtains were fantastic, we always had hot water, and the shower pressure was great! We also loved soaking in the hot tub each night. It was exactly what we needed after hiking during the day. The Pac-Man game table was fun to have too! Kelly was super quick to respond at all times and was a lot of help. Looking forward already to staying here again!

Lovely getaway

My husband and I rented for a week for our 10 year wedding anniversary. Nice and quiet way up in the mountains. Close to Gatlinburg which was very fun for the day we spent there. Definitely could have went downtown a few times. We opted for more hiking and site seeing. Cabin had only 1 near by neighbor which is a rental as well. But it was still pretty secluded. Got turned around twice coming back to the cabin when it was dark but during the day way fine. Kelly checked on us as soon as we got in to make sure everything was ok. We will definitely keep this rental in mind for our next trip as there was so much stuff to explore but not enough time!!

Way up high

This cabin was waaay up there. We weren't quite expecting how crazy the drive to the top was, but once we did a few times, it was no big deal. All in all we enjoyed our stay here. Pros: beautiful view from the look out area, beautiful scenery, we really enjoyed the outside deck, 3 bathrooms, size of the space, our son LOVED the Jacuzzi tub. The beds were reasonably comfortable, the king was a bit soft. We got see a bear several times from the deck and the windows, the arcade game was cool, but we wished the volume couod be adjusted so that those not playing could relax, or enjoy a movie. Cons: the furniture on the living room was not comfortable it seemed like hotel furniture, we felt it was missing many of the items that you kind of expect from a rental; no spices other than salt, peper and sugar, only two kitchen towels, no laundry soap, no coffee, no sponge to do dishes, no facial tissue, limited knives, not much outdoor space for children to play.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 May 2022
Thank you for the feedback, Robyn. Some of those basic items should have been stocked for your stay (sponge, laundry soap, facial tissue). I will address these issues with my cleaners. The volume can be turned down on the video game, I would have been happy to provide instructions on how to do that. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay overall!

Me an my guy went to the cabins to get away and just get a peace of mind from our normal. This cabin was everything, it was deep into the mountains, sitting on one of the highest peaks! The road going up to the cabin, I had to brace myself but once we got up the mountain and entered the cabin I was in love. The scenery was everything I imagined it would be, the rooms in the cabin was a great size, each room with its own full bathroom but that jetted tub gave me life. Oh, what a great way to unwind and just enjoy our moment! The hot tub was so warm even though it got chilly during the night, in the hot tub you couldn’t even tell it was cold out!! We’ll definitely book again

Beautiful inside and out!

Highly recommend this beautiful cabin. No details left behind. Everything was clean and welcoming! Bedrooms are spacious! With the bi-level, those who like to sleep in will not hear those early risers! Jacuzzi was clean and relaxing after a long hike! This location is far enough away from the Gatlinburg congestion but close enough to do the morning hike, rest at the cabin, then head out to shop and dine. The views are amazing. See the sun rise in the front of the cabin and the sunset in the back! The host was welcoming and in communication. Definitely recommend!!
