Lovely Cabin with great views and the perfect location.

We had no issues whatsoever with this cabin and the location of the cabin itself was great at the end of a road. It had everything we needed. It even included an few options if you were traveling with little ones which is a thoughtful touch. The view and privacy was important to us and it did not disappoint. The host was very attentive and responsive leading up to our trip. We would absolutely consider staying in the cabin again.

Peace and awesome views!

Loved the view from the balcony! Location was great! Gated community. Just minutes from major attractions and restaurants, yet the feel of being in a forest due to being at the end of the drive. Safe, easy parking. Cabin was very clean, and kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. This was our second stay, and we hope to go back again.

Great cabin in a fantastic location!

After extensive research of available properties in the area, I'm so glad we picked this cabin! The location was perfect - just a few minutes off the highway, very close to all the Pigeon Forge attractions and a short drive to downtown Gatlinburg. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The amenities were perfect for our family of four. The owner was helpful and responsive with recommendations. I would not hesitate to stay here again!

Family Vacation

We (myself/wife/two year old son) rented this cabin for NYE weekend. Cabin is in a fantastic location with access to shops and attractions in Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg being just a short drive away. Views of the surrounding mountains from the deck are great. The cabin being at the end of the street makes it feel secluded from the rest of the cabins in the gated community. Would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic Cabin

This cabin was fantastic! The reason I gave 3 stars for online missions listing is because it states at the top 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms but it was only 2 bedrooms which was a HUGE letdown and very difficult for family to sleep on the floor. You have to read more to see its only 2 bedrooms so partly my fault but it was misleading

Great place to wake up each morning & come home to each night!

We were in town for a conference that kept us away most of the daytime, but we rested well, woke up to beauty, and were able to enjoy the pool table & hot tub! The drive in was a little steep in moments (know your vehicle), but that would be true for most anywhere in the region. Thank you for a great stay! Side note to housekeeping: The bathroom soaps needed refilling when we arrived, but everything was set up and ready to go!

Wonderful Getaway

We throughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful cabin. It is located at the very end of the street leaving it more private than other cabins in the area. The cabin was clean upon arrival and suited our needs. Beds were very comfortable and bathrooms were a good size. Would highly recommend this cabin!

Beautiful relaxation

We had a wonderful stay here and would definitely come back. The owner is very friendly and quick to respond, very thorough. The property and views were lovely and nicer than i anticipated. Very well kept up. The supplies on hand are limited but sufficient. There’s a blow dryer, dishes, utensils, cooking supplies, mugs, wine glasses, coffee, filters, soap, dish detergent & laundry soap, etc. But you will need to have your own condiments, & sweeteners, bath soap, paper towels, and other basics. Not disappointing but i only mention this bc of various cabins I’ve stayed at that vary in the supplies on hand. Having TV with cable was helpful with a toddler. It was very baby safe but bring electric outlet covers and a baby gate for the stairs if bringing little ones. There is a pack & play available also. You’ll love this place! Thanks Shastina!

About the host

Hosted by Shastina Carter

Host profile image
We own two cabins in the area and are happy we can rent them to other families that can enjoy the area as much we do.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this cabin because it was updated, clean, perfect location between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The view and the location at the end of the street was the biggest selling points. We love the area and all the fun family activities, we couldn't think of a better place to spend our time in the Mountains.

What makes this property unique

We are in love with the vaulted ceilings, and the upper balcony that is off the loft upstairs, where you will find the best views!
