The mountains are calling.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park

America’s most visited national park, known for its diversity of plant and animal life, the beauty of its ancient mountains, and Southern Appalachian culture. Great Smoky Mountains National Park is one of the largest protected areas in the eastern United States where black bears can live in wild, natural surroundings. Bears inhabit all elevations of the park and it is estimated that roughly 1,500 bears live in the park.


From the original Appalachian Trail to breathtaking hikes, there are 150 Smoky Mountain trails covering 800 miles of pristine backcountry. Roaring Fork features two of the most popular waterfalls in the park and Cades Cove is a scenic 11-mile loop open to visitors from sunrise to sunset.


Pigeon Forge


Pigeon Forge is home to country singer Dolly Parton’s Appalachian-themed park, Dollywood, and other attractions including country music revues like the Smoky Mountain Opry, dinner theaters such as Dolly Parton's Stampede and countless options for dining and shopping.


Local dining favorites include Huck Finn’s Catfish, The Old Mill, and the Local Goat.


Gatlinburg
Gatlinburg is known as the gateway to the roughly 520,000-acre Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Many of its key attractions offer sweeping views of the national park, including the 400ft. Space Needle observation tower and the Sky Lift, an aerial cable car that journeys from Downtown to the popular amusement park and ski resort Ober Gatlinburg.


Moonshine is a spirit that has deep roots in the culture of the Smoky Mountains so touring a downtown distillery is a great way to get a taste of the local culture. In addition to learning how moonshine is made, you can also try samples of the spirit at places like Sugarlands Distilling Company.

This place is great! Everything felt recently updated, the place was clean, and was fully stocked. Check in was a breeze and we felt right at home. It’s a little ways off the beaten path, but worth it.

Wonderful slice of heaven!

Property was as listed and was perfect for my small family! Our daughter loved the hot tub and "hideout" room, as she called it.

We LOVED it!

We loved our stay, everything you would want! AND, the bed, so comfy (I'll take the name of the mattress, no joke). It's outside of the city which we appreciated. I would suggest a vehicle that can take the hills as they suggest in their posting. It's just like the pictures, go for it and enjoy!!

100% recommend!

The roads leading to the cabin felt like driving through a mountain! Definitely a good location, not too far from attractions but also far enough to not hear all the commotion. Super clean cabin, would definitely recommend & will consider booking again if we ever come back!

Gorgeous property!

We had a great stay! The road is definitely steep and having four wheel drive was a must. The hot tub was really nice and we enjoyed listening to vinyl records after exploring in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Definitely would recommend!
