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 okay, but could use some basic updates, and replaced shower curtains. I stepped in gum, inside, on the first day we stayed there-so I would say the cleanliness has a way to go for improvment. The hot tub was wonderfully hot, but had so much chlorine in it that we were not able to get in the first day/night we were there.

Response from Escape to the Mountains! Private hottub, MTN views on 8 Mar 2026
Hot tub, we drain and refill after each guest stay as is required in the area. We also add a touch of shock to get the little bit of residual water that does not drain. We add bromide tablets that dissolve as needed. WE DO NOT ADD chlorine other than the 2 or 3 tablespoons as indicated when we drain the tub. This is standard and required practice. We also have a cover to keep the temperatures high and not further increase our heating costs. When opened you can often smell a bit of of chlorine like smell. You want that and you also want to make sure that the tablets are not fully dissolved. Im guessing that Marsha compared a private hot tub with a cover to one at a hotel where the steam vents and there is no smell. As to gum, my guess is that Marsha stepped in gum somewhere outside and then decided that she would blame it on the property. Note her only comment on cleanliness was gum she stepped in. What is more likely? Having it on your shoe or a big blob of gun in the middle of the floor after the cleaners swept?

Twyla, thanks for your stay and thank your husband for the repair. We have been having an issue with the disposal jamming. Its really not meant to grind food into a septic tank. I'd like to just leave the disposal but have it not used but I'll have to replumb it so that people dont put food down the drain.

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.
