About this property

Outdoor fireplace, hot tub with stunning views, spacious interior + pet-friendly

Retreat Back to Nature with a vacation at this stunning Gatlinburg cabin.

The peaceful, natural setting can be viewed is visible from the many windows of the spacious vaulted great room. The pine walls give this cabin a light and airy feel that welcomes you immediately. The great room’s gas fireplace will keep you cozy at night. The warm interior décor was thoughtfully selected for a “beary” rustic yet comfortable feel. Each bedroom is appointed with your comfort in mind and includes a 43-inch 4K Smart TV, an extra mirror, and an adjoining spacious bathroom with a walk-in shower. On the deck, soak in the hot tub, stay warm by the outdoor gas fireplace, watch the sunset or appreciate the winter mountain view from the rockers. Make sure you show off your skills at playing a game of pool in the loft. The winner can decide the next day’s activities.

With so many activities to choose from, your most difficult decision will be which one to enjoy first. How about a scenic drive around Cades Cove or the nearby Roaring Forks Motor Nature Trail? No matter the season, take the ski lift or drive up to Ober Gatlinburg Ski Area and Amusement Park or reach new heights at Anakeesta Theme Park. Great Smoky Mountains National Park has over 900 miles of hiking trails, try at least one of them. Laurel Falls and Rainbow Falls are two popular trails that have breathtaking views. Visit downtown Gatlinburg and the attractions in Pigeon Forge. From Dollywood to music revues, there are lots of things to do.

Want to stay in and relax? Back to Nature is the perfect place for that too. Sit back and enjoy the state-of-the-art electronics in the great room: 55-inch 4K Smart TV, Alexa for on-demand music, weather and sports, stream with 100GB high-speed internet or watch movies using the DVD/Blu-Ray player. With the grocery store nearby, it is easy to bring the groceries in, cook a meal and enjoy it in the dining room. The spacious well-equipped kitchen has lots of counter space and additional seating at the counter. We provide small kitchen appliances, cooking utensils, dishes and flatware. There are a full-size washer and dryer for your convenience.

If you are planning for a larger group or a family gathering, consider renting the adjacent cabin, Lasting Impressions, along with Back to Nature! There is a shared driveway with ample parking.

So, what are you waiting for? For a truly restful getaway, book Back to Nature now and begin your Smoky Mountain vacation experience. Back to Nature is pet friendly. So, bring your pet with you too. Whether you stay in or venture out, create some great memories at Back to Nature! New construction was completed in 2019.

*Please Note: Due to nearby construction, you will encounter various levels of noise during the day.

Our stay

The view was amazing, the road was a little rough at first but we got used to it. Everything was amazing and the overall impression was great. Lot of fun things to do to in and around town, the hot tub was nice we all enjoyed using it. All in all excellent experience, if you get headaches easily bring medicine.

Nice Cabin...but with some inconveniencs !!

The cabin itself was REALLY NICE!! But if you stay here.....DO NOT arrive before 4:00! They have a lock on the door that will not let you in until 4:00 on the nose! We arrived early due to our travels by 2 hours and had to sit outside the whole time they would not let you in. Even though it was clean and ready to go. Which was a little irritating to say the least. I even offered to pay for the 2 hours we arrived early and they declined. Once we got in the cabin a smoke detector was beeping cause the battery was dead. I called and they said they would have someone there shortly, after 3 hours of listening to this beep we had to drive to the store and get the batteries ourself and change it out. Also, if you plan to stay here make sure you bring kitchen towels, dish soap, dishwasher soap, laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper and trash bags! That was the other disappointing thing with staying at this cabin. We stayed for 5 nights (Monday thru Saturday) and all that the cabin offered was 2 rolls of toilet paper, NO laundry detergent, very little dish soap, 1 dishwasher tablet,1 kitchen towel &1 trash bag!!! I am sorry but a family staying a whole week should have been given more than that, especially for the price of the cabin to rent it. This is not our first time staying in a cabin like this and I thought it was a little ridiculous. Again GREAT cabin, but come prepared!!

Ok

While the cabin itself was fine. Maybe not the best value. But, it was fine. My gripe is with the lack of communication from VRBO. Unless of course it’s 36 hours prior to your checkout. Then, you will get all sorts of emails and texts. While I understand why these owners go through VRBO, I wish they would expect more or check on the people handling the properties.

Do not rent with Jackson Mountain Homes

Found out 1.5 hours prior to check in that cleaners could not come. Had to wash sheets and towels that had blood on them and clean the cabin from dog hair and people prior in addition to buying all cleaning supplies, starter toilet paper, paper towels, etc and laundry. Management company only wants to reimburse the cleaning fee and nothing else. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Bear-tastic!!!

We enjoyed our first trip ever to TN! The cabin was beautiful, and well maintained! We did book this cabin begining of the year, and was a little upset with the vrbo pictures showing no cabin beside of us. We thought we were secluded. So the pictures are very deceiving and should be updated. We enjoyed the bears everyday of our stay, the neighbors got to see a 500lb Pappa bear! We did have a guest in my car, all due to my husband leaving the sunroof open. Mamma bear didn't tear anything up other than some trash, I did get Christened with bear claws in my leather dash.I would high highly suggest to roll windows up, and lock your doors. A lot of bear activity everyday and night. The outside lights suck on the cabin suck, there is only one motion light, so luckily we had a flash light. If you plan to cook a lot, I would suggest bringing pots and pans and POT Holders. The hot tub was nice on the covered porch!! We enjoyed ourselves and had a great time! So much to do between pigeon forge and Gatlinburg!!

Great Location

We had nice views from the balcony and hot tub. Lots of space for the kids to spread out. We loved seeing all the bears from the balcony. It was secluded but only a 5-10 min drive down the mountain. We loved parking in the parking garage and using the trolley to go everywhere including Pigeon Forge. We would definitely be back! The only suggestion would be to have the cleaning service dust the blinds and fans.

Amazing and cozy

What an absolute beauty. Clean, quiet and up high in the mountains! My family and I stayed a week the end of July and with the trees there, You can still see the most beautiful sunsets and downtown Gatlinburg. The view is awesome! Mama bear and her 3 cubs came to visit everyday and we watched them play! It's spacious and comfortable! Hot Tub was a bonus and relaxing! Everything you need is there.

Cabin was very nice. However, beds had long dog hair on both bedding, so we had to strip all beds before using. However, we had an issue and property management was very cordial and easy to work with. Would rent cabin again

Amazing! Perfect house and location!

This house was perfect for our family vacation this year. The house itself is beautiful and cozy and the location is unbeatable. You are at the top of the mountain and the view is gorgeous. It was also seriously a 5 minute drive right to downtown Gatlinburg. You really get the best of both worlds. You are so close to everything and all the attractions, but then when you’re at the house you feel like you’re in your own little hide away. We even saw bears right in front of the house! We loved it and can’t wait to go back!

Beautiful Cabin

Cabin is very nice! Very clean! If you are coming here and plan on grilling bring charcoal, there isn't a gas grill... unfortunately we did not know that. We do have a few suggestions.. "steps" for the Hot Tub?!! Not sure how you expect most ladies to get in. That was a challenge. Rugs by the deck doors so you don't drip across your nice floors from the Hot Tub. Some amenities for the kitchen "pot holders" there are zero! There was one teaspoon (they can be purchased at Walmart) and a toaster would be nice.
