Just close enough and just enough removed!
We had a wonderful 25th anniversary stay at Aunt Lib’s Shine Shack! More room than we needed for 2, for sure, but we used and enjoyed it all! Home away from home. We enjoyed the breeze in the enclosed sunroom and the post-hke soaks in the hot tub! My husband enjoyed trying to make high scores on the game table while I grabbed a great read from Nancy’s book selection. We saw 7 bear during our stay and got many wonderful steps in on nearby trails… and ate and drank well along the way! We will be back!!! Highly recommend!!! Thanks Nancy :-)

Fall 2024 getaway
My wife and i enjoyed our stay at this the cabin. It is a newer , well kept and clean cabin.it has several extra amenities to entertain any age level. It is very quite with few close neighbors which we enjoyed as we hung out mostly on the screened in porchin the evening and watched a couple of movies. We plan on returning soon for another stay.nancy was easy to contact and very responsive to any need or concerns we had. veryporch

Excellent for groups
Overall excellent experience. We were able to spot a bear next to the cabin as well. Extra blind for kitchen/patio door could have added the coziness/safety. Basic toiletries and towels were provided which was good but Makeup towels were not that clean and had hair on it!! But overall cleanliness was really good. Would strongly recommend.

Perfect modern cabin retreat for families!
The home and property were equally beautiful. Very clean and modern but with the cabin feel we love. Very comfortable beds and furniture. Our teen girls also loved it! My husband and I spent a lot of time on the screened in porch sipping coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. It was the perfect setting. 😊

This is one of the best places we stayed so far! Very cozy, super clean, very well taken care of and had everything that needed for a stay. Great location, close to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Loved view from bathrooms, jacuzzi and fire pit. Kids loved game room!

We had an excellent experience. The cabin is exactly as described. We have stayed at many and this one had the best stocked kitchen. You can tell they have put thought into the needs of the families that stay there. We would definitely recommend!

The property is perfect and the amenities are spot on. The drive up that mountain is the only downside. Make sure you take everything you need the first trip up.

First timers
We planned a couples trip to experience the Smokey Mountains. The stay was perfect. The cabin had everything you could think of. It’s quite the experience driving in the mountains but we adjusted quickly. We even had a Bear and baby cub only a few yards away from the cabin making its way though. We enjoyed all the hiking. Favorite place to eat was the Local Goat in Pigeon Forge. We enjoyed the General Store there for souvenir shopping as the stuff was not tacky.

Peaceful
This cabin is beautiful! It is quiet and peaceful after a day in the city or hiking. It's clean and we'll stocked with supplies for cooking/grilling. We enjoyed our stay very much. The location between Gatlinburg and pigeon forge is really nice, you can easily get to either pretty quickly. The upstairs game room was a family family. I'd definitely recommend staying here. We'll be returning someday soon

Perfect Family Vacation
Aunt Lib's Shine Shack earns a well deserved 5 star review from this happy family! Attentive best describes this owner/property. Prior to the vacation we had a small issue with billing that was resolved easily and promptly through email. During our stay we accidently tripped a fuse with too many blow dryers and emailed to find the fuse box with immediate response and even had follow up! Every detail in the house is thought out. You can tell that instead of a large business with many properties the manager is person who is thinking about their visitors and strives to make their vacation excellent. A few things to know: The drive up to the property is in the mountains so expect it to be exciting. There is a nice table to eat at in the screened in porch but if it's chilly when you stay there isn't a kitchen table inside. It didn’t effect our stay.

Superb Stay at the Shine Shack
This was our first vacation as a family of four and the shine shack was perfect. It was super clean, and stocked with the essentials. We enjoyed the games, hot tub, fireplace and outside wood burning fire. We had one little maintenance issue that was taken care of promptly. We didn't want to leave this little piece of smokey mountain paradise. The road to/from shine shack is pretty narrow and typical of the mountain roads. I would recommend to friends and family and would definitely return. Thank you for making our home away from home perfect.

Peaceful retreat
We loved the cabin and really enjoyed our stay. It was perfectly decorated for the season. Make sure you arrive during the daylight though, we had a little bit of a white knuckle drive up the mountain as we arrived late into the evening.

3 Women In Need Of A GET AWAY
I recently visited Sevierville Tennessee. My daughter and a very dear friend of ours stayed at Aunt Lib's Shine Shack. The property was lovely,the cabin had a fire place and at night it felt warm and cozy . The upstairs was entertaining with many games.The decks were great for quiet suppressed time with a very nice hot on the lower deck. We enjoyed the outside as much as the inside. We learn the story of the cabin and the love in which it was built. Thank You To The Host Great Place To Stay!

Perfect mountain vacation
Beautiful property. Loved our vacation in the smokey mountains. Kids loved the game room and loft room. The hot tub was was just what we needed after walking Dollywood:) Loved seeing lightning bugs, as we don't have them at home. The cabin had everything our family needed. We will return. Thanks again for sharing with us.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Jones

Host profile image
Tennessee is my home. I was raised in a small rural community, and continue to live in that area where I have worked and raised my family. We grew up knowing the love of family! When we are together for a meal, experience a tree trekking adventure, watch a game, travel, or gather around to play a game of Pinochle it's the most rewarding time! It's family!

Why they chose this property

This property is special in so many ways! My mother is the inspiration for Aunt Lib's "Shine" Shack. She was a truly remarkable lady in all of her roles. She loved life!
Especially time spent with family and friends! This cabin is a place where family and friends can come together and make those long lasting special memories! Experience the wrap around porch with swings and rocking chairs, nap or read on the private screened in porch. Have a smores evening with your group on the patio and firepit! The Great Smoky Mountain area has so much to offer! Let Aunt Lib's "Shine" Shack host your family or group!

What makes this property unique

Secluded and private with nature all around!
