The place is in an awesome private location and the cabin itself is over the top extremely nice and everything matches which I loved. We got the entire cabin experience at this cabin. We got to see bears and beautiful views. There was tons of stuff to do right nearby and by far the best price, especially for what you get. the host was amazing in every way honestly won’t stay at another cabin ever again. This experience was too perfect. I could go on for paragraphs about how good it is experience it yourself foreal !! Super clean and smells amazing and the shower having two shower heads is awesome as well

The stay was beautiful and new. It was well stocked and had a lot of small touches that showed the owners care about their guests. The area was convenient as it was close to town yet felt secluded. The dedicated Tesla charger was very nice to have and didn’t require guests to bring their own cable. If you plan to sleep in and are light sensitive, I do recommend bringing a sleep mask as there is a skylight window above the bed. The skylight isn’t a complaint or issue, but just something for potential guests to be aware of. The welcome chocolates and peppermints were a sweet touch. This was our favorite stay during our time in Gatlinburg!

If you need a private, romantic place to go with your significant other, then this is the place! We had an amazing stay at Base Camp in Gatlinburg. The cabin was exceptionally clean and beautifully maintained from the moment we arrived. It had everything we could possibly need for a relaxing vacation, making it feel like a true home away from home.The cabin was the perfect blend of modern comfort and cozy mountain charm. It was incredibly romantic, making it an ideal getaway for couples. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches and stylish décor that made our stay feel extra special.The driveway is a little intimidating at first. However, we had a full-size truck and were able to manage it without any issues after taking it slow.Overall, Base Camp exceeded our expectations, and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, modern, and romantic cabin in Gatlinburg!

Beautiful cozy little cabin. Gorgeously decorated, clean, everything you need. The views off the deck are insane along with the family of bears that were living right behind us. Only downers were there was no oven or toaster oven. I believe the microwave had a setting on it but wasnt sure so just used the cook top. Also it is literally on a mountain so prepare for that with your vehicles including the driveway it was very very steep incline. The hosts were great, very friendly and quickly respond which is so appreciated. This was our first time to Gatlinburg and it could not have been more perfect.

About the host

Hosted by Matt and Laura

Host profile image
Hi. We're a small family that loves to spend time together and travel (especially to mountains and beaches). Our daughter is a natural traveler and has been going since 3 months old. :)

Our dream was to have our own home in the Smokies and to share it with others. As we continue this hosting journey, we teach our daughter the lessons we've learned.

We truly enjoy hosting memorable stays for families and friends.

Why they chose this property

We think you'll love Base Camp TN because it is a custom built, modern cabin with couples in mind. The bedroom is unique with a large 7' window that makes you feel like you're floating in the air with a free-standing wall that serves as a headboard and vanity wall. The deck has great amenities such as a barrel sauna; pass through window and bar; luxurious hot tub and a TV.

Unlike some cabins in the area, our cabin is very easy to reach and centrally located in downtown Gatlinburg. In the winter the city snowplows our street. It is the perfect home base for your adventures in the Smokies.

What makes this property unique

Base Camp TN is unique in that it offers a luxurious, modern, custom designed and built cabin in a private setting in the middle of Gatlinburg. It is an easy drive with easy parking. The entire space has been designed to accommodate and delight couples on their vacation. There's indoor/outdoor living with an enormous deck and pass through bar window; double vanity and walk in shower; incredible bedroom with skylight and giant window. Luxury linens facilitate comfort and enjoyment during your stay.

We truly feel our cabin is a great place for couples to experience the Smokies.
