Best Cabin In The Smokies

This cabin is the best there is, easy access, but so peaceful and relaxing. The stream in backyard is the icing on the cake. Both bedrooms have KING beds and ensuites. Have stayed at many cabins until we found this one, frequently stay here if it is available. Best there is !!

Lovely Cabin

We loved our stay at this cabin. It's location between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge was perfect. The cabin was clean and not out dated at all. We especially loved the evenings in the hot tub nestled in the woods. The owners were easy to communicate with and very helpful with suggestions on places to try during our stay. Highly reccomended!

Family Spring Break Vacation

This cabin was exactly as listed, only better in person than as shown in pictures. The location is perfect between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. For cooking it had everything we needed. The cookie sheets could use replacement, but worked ok. Very quite and peaceful. The hot tub was nice, especially after a long day of hiking.

Family Vacation Success

The owners was quick to respond to the request and made sure we knew all the numbers in case we needed anything from them, maintenance or cleaners. The cabin was clean and stocked for us. The hot tub was amazing after the drive and all the activities we did while there. Our daughter loved the porch and hearing the creek since it rained some while there. We can't wait to come back!

Most peaceful vacation location

We really enjoyed our stay. We can’t say enough good things about the cabin. It was so comfortable and just as described and was really clean. The cabin is in a quiet area away from it all but yet still close enough to shops, etc. The drive in was a little challenging but we’re use to TN mountain roads and we had no problems at all. The only thing we might have really needed and the owners may want to add were some blankets. If the weather had been typical Dec/Jan temperatures we would have had to turn the heat up, but we were comfortable with it set at 68. We highly recommend Lukes cabin for those wanting to be away from the noise but yet close enough to be in the bustling area of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg in minutes. You can’t go wrong with this cabin. We WILL be back to stay again . Thanks so much for being such great and helpful hosts !!

Uncomfortable furniture and mattress

We ended up leaving a day early because the mattress in the back bedroom was the worst I've ever slept on in my life! It was hard as a rock and creaked so loudly that every time we moved we woke the other up. The chair in the living room was worn out. The couch was very uncomfortable. There were cobwebs everywhere. The top of the fridge has about a years' worth of dust and all the pictures in the cabin did as well. There was trash under the porch and in the parking area. There was trash in the creek behind the cabin as well. The location was great and the layout was nice too. With new mattresses, living room furniture, and deep cleaning, this could be a fabulous place! The owners were nice as well.

Comfy Cabin

This cabin was perfect for our couples trip. Each bedroom had a king bed and an attached bathroom. We enjoyed the gas fireplace in the living room. The cabin was in between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge but closer to Pigeon Forge. The road was windy but easy to traverse. The cabin was close to other cabins but felt very private. I would highly recommend this cabin.

Bare Bones but Did the Trick

Pros: The cabin is cozy and stunning. It was clean and the Christmas tree was a nice touch. The bedroom furniture was fitting. The fireplace warmed the cabin up quick. It is close to other cabins, but it did not feel like it. It was situated nicely between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The creek was fun to play in and had relaxing flow. There was ice premade for us in the freezer. Each room had its own TV with cable which is rare we find with Vrbos.Cons: Cozy, yet uncomfortable. No end tables or coffee table in the living room. The couch was uncomfortable and the room where we stayed (because it had a door leading to the hot tub and back porch) seemed worn out and made a lot of noise at even the slighted move. The hot tub did not have a smell but there were small white particles and what appeared to be pieces of black mildew floating in it. The cookware was lacking and in very bad shape. There was no sponge, one pot holder, and one kitchen towel. There were no left over spices, tin foil, plastic wear, or anything which we have come accustomed to in many Vrbos we have stayed. There were only 8 shower towels, and none for the hot tub itself. There is a washer and dryer, however the dryer filter is missing. There is no “backyard” it is a wall of mountain right behind the cabin, but it does provide privacy.In summary, the cabin was cute, a place for us to lay our head, and located perfectly. If you intend on cooking in or spending any extensive time here, come stocked.

About the host

Hosted by Matthew & Courtney Fallin

Host profile image
We are a family of 6 that enjoy serving our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, traveling and watching our children play sports. We have uniquely named our vacation properties after our children. We purchased a cabin because we love The Great Smoky Mountains of East, Tennessee and want to share our home with family and friends. We want everyone that stays with us to feel at home and enjoy our cabin as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We chose Luke's Log Cabin because of its prime location being in the center of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Its far enough from town to give you the quiet and cozy setting yet close enough to enjoy all of the fine dining, shopping and activities that the Smokies has to offer.

What makes this property unique

Luke's Log Cabin sits directly on a bubbling brook that flows year round. Sitting on the back deck in a rocking chair or even in the hot tub and hearing the sounds of the brook flowing will surely enable you to relax and enjoy yourself.
