Thank you so much for your kind review and for choosing to stay with us! We're thrilled to hear you had a great time and enjoyed the property overall.

About the host

Hosted by Victoria and Todd H

Host profile image
We are a couple who loves being "away from it all", the mountains, and the nature of East Tennessee and Western North Carolina. We are avid DIYers, and our cabin is our passion. You will be dealing directly with us, the owners! We know the area, we know our cabins, we love staying in them, and, admittedly, a little proud of them too. We hope that our guests will appreciate the cabin and make wonderful memories in the Smokies for years to come. Log cabin living all the way!

Why they chose this property

Our search for a secluded and private cabin was initially unsuccessful as most places were located in resorts where privacy was limited and the cabins looked identical. However, we finally found what we were looking for in 'Appalachian Escape'. The cabin's serene surroundings captured our hearts. Although the previous owners had built the exterior, the interior was incomplete with no walls, flooring, power, or proper plumbing. We spent over a year renovating and installing everything including walls, doors, trim, stairs and new hardwood floors, insulation, HVAC, furniture, appliances, lighting, cabinetry...and...and...and... It was a lot of work, but the result is a fantastic, top-of-the-line mountain cabin that your family and friends will love to come home to and won't ever want to leave! This is anything but a cookie-cutter log home! Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge have lots to do, from hiking to white water rafting to fine dining and live shows, to horseback riding and Go-Karts. We know that this area can entertain virtually any family for years to come.

What makes this property unique

Appalachian Escape exudes a tranquil vibe with its natural setting and secluded "cabin in the woods" feel, while still being conveniently located near all the area attractions via paved roads. The spacious indoor and outdoor areas can comfortably accommodate families or groups while maintaining an intimate atmosphere. Situated in the vicinity of the Arts & Crafts of Gatlinburg, guests can enjoy browsing the charming family-run artisan shops and chatting with the welcoming locals. Pigeon Forge is also easily accessible. We take pride in helping families create unforgettable memories during their stay at Appalachian Escape and will do our best to ensure a fantastic vacation in the Smokies!
