About this property

Escape to the Mountains! Private hottub, MTN views

Mountain view, lovely cabin, Sleeps 7 2bd/2ba w sofa bd. video game & area pools

Private 2bd/2bath cabin sleeping up to 7 people with mountain views with plenty of amenities to include multi-game video machine, hot tub, internet, smart TVs, etc. This unit NO LONGER offers a grill. Too many guests have fed the bears. When no one was there to feed the bears they destroyed 2 grills so far in 2025. Unfortunately feeding the bears makes them dependent and the park ends up euthanizing them. A fed bear is a dead bear. (grill amenity removed 9/12/25)

This beautiful cabin is a perfect getaway for family or friends. Sleeps 5 comfortably + a sleeper for up to 2 more: Master bedroom with Queen, second bedroom with twin over queen bunk bed that sleeps 3, and a sleeper sofa if needed in the living room.

We like to think of our properties as your home away from home. We even provide contacts that can bring in your groceries and supplies leaving you to focus on what clothes and what of our many, many activities you want to do.

Convenient to Smoky Mountain national part, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge (Dollywood). It is a short-day trip to Cherokee casino or Biltmore House.

We practice continuous improvement in both operations and are excited to work with this owner to identify and make improvements. We try to continually enhance the property.

The cabin was very cozy and the view was really pretty and for the most part clean. The bath towels had a weird smell when we arrived so we ended up washing them before we used them.

Relaxing Fall Break

The cabin is dated, but pleasant. Wasnt the cleanest place I have ever seen, but not the worst. Neighbors are very close, so if you have loud neighbors that sucks. The hot tub smelt super funny. Conveniently located. Over all we would stay again.

Great stay

We had a great stay at this little cabin. The kids enjoyed the arcade games and the foosball table very much, the view was beautiful, the hot tub worked well and it was close enough to everything in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge yet still far enough to enjoy the quiet of the mountains. Some of the furniture is old and needs to be replaced fairly soon, but the beds were comfortable and they stocked the soaps and paper products well for our crew size. The manager had very detailed instructions that made check in and check out so easy. Thankfully, we didn’t have any problems to call about. We so enjoyed our stay and will hopefully be back soon!

Cozy

Everything was great! Very cozy, enough space, we felt at home. The view was perfect! We enjoyed having breakfast on the patio every morning! The only thing that I would say I wish was different is the parking, in the photos is shows a easy parking spot that you just slide into. I have a big 4x4 Chevy and it was difficult. They’ve created a little scenery area between the parking spot in road since the pictures were taken. But I do recommend staying here 100%

LOVE the Mountain View

Check in was flawless. Rental was clean. We did not plan on doing this, but we enjoyed the cabin so much that we spent an entire day just doing nothing and sitting on the back porch. My husband and I actually loved the foosball table and had a tournament. We were 20 min from Gatlinburg and 30 from Pigeon Forge. We were far enough away but still close enough. The stair case was very cool but not easy for older people to get down- I would not bring elder people here. But I would bring my entire family back!!! We didn’t see bears this February but we will be back soon.

Weekend getaway

We enjoyed our stay. Adventured during the day and relaxed in the hot tub in the evening. We saw bears three different times and that was fun for those who had never seen them before. Overall we were satisfied with the property even though we had s rough start. The reservations were showing a double booking so our code did not work. This was soon resolved, but it was very stressful to have happened. Also, there was sn unexpected maintenance visit. I definitely do not like someone entering the properly without a notification.

Decent, and well off the beaten path

First, the host, Ed, was fantastic and very responsive when we had an issue with one of our neighbors. Unfortunately, there are multiple cabins in very close proximity to one another, and so you are afforded very little privacy. The cabin itself is fine, but be aware that it is quite dated. Also, it was apparent that some things had not been cleaned, namely the upstairs shower. Nothing was too off-putting, however. The bed was the most comfortable I've ever slept on in a rental unit, which was awesome after a long day of hiking!Finally, this cabin is an approximately 30 minute drive to Gatlinburg, so be prepared if you want to go into town. Overall, not a bad place to stay if you don't mind a bit of a drive and having close neighbors.

About the host

Hosted by Ed Tollefsen

Host profile image
I have aspirations of retiring to the mountains and managing 5 of our own properties and 15 other luxury vacation rentals. A condo purchase in May of 2018 represents our 3rd property. In November of 2023, I purchased a fourth property, a railroad caboose. Throughout 2024, we will be converting the Caboose to a luxury 1 bedroom property with a goal of having it on rental for spring of 2025.

In 2013, we took over the daily management of the properties. We aren't perfect but we do believe in continuous improvement. We consider our places to be part of your vacation experience and as such we are part of 100's of joyous times with families and friends. Our hope is that the cabin & your stay in this beautiful city is a wonderful, lifelong memory.

Why they chose this property

Convenient to Smoky Mountain National Forest, Gatlinburg. Quiet neighborhood with dedicated security and plow service. Surrounded by national parklands which result in a massive amount of wildlife all around us. Relaxing mountain views.

A short drive to Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, and Biltmore Estate.

What makes this property unique

3 outdoor pools for summer use, private hot tub, multi-game video machine, 2 private decks, and views.

Roads maintained by the HOA. Winter snows are addressed immediately making chains or 4 WD unnecessary. As legal disclaimer assumes the vehicle operator exercised prudent judgment using plowed roads. I personally have not used 4 WD to access the property on many occasions.
