Living Room
Between skiing at Ober Mountain, walking beneath Shark Lagoon at Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies, or spotting synchronous fireflies in the national park, lounge on the sofa in front of the big screen TV or crack open that book you’ve been meaning to read in the armchair with ottoman. There’s also a swivel rocker, ideal to tell stories to the kids or grandkids.

You’ll have a cozy double-sided gas fireplace in fall and winter — paired best with hot chocolate and mountains of marshmallows! Plus, large picture windows steam in plenty of natural light and tree-studded scenery during the daytime, creating a treehouse vibe at your secluded cabin in Gatlinburg.

Kitchen
Ready for another round of cocktails or coffee? How about a homemade meal loaded with Grandma’s secret recipes? At your Gatlinburg cabin rental, the fully equipped kitchen welcomes you to create meals, grab snacks, and pour drinks morning, noon, or night so everyone is fed and happy on your memorable mountain retreat.

With an alcove style, the full kitchen has everything you need to prepare and serve food and drinks. Appliances include a refrigerator, electric stove, microwave, and dishwasher, plus standard drip and single-cup coffeemakers. Cookware, dishware, cutlery, glassware, and mugs are all provided. All you need to bring are hearty appetites, fresh ingredients, and Appalachian treats!

Dining Area
Steps from the kitchen, the convenient dining table is great for sit-down meals together on your Smoky Mountain vacation. With additional seating in the open living area, everyone can stay connected with every bite. Between mealtimes, clear the table for card games, crafts with the kids, puzzles with friends, or laptop time as needed.

Rec Loft
Whether you want extras for your warm getaway, a backup plan for rainy days, or more fun things to do without leaving your vacation rental in winter in the Smoky Mountains, the rec loft — aka the game room at your Gatlinburg cabin — is a great addition!

Classics like Pac-Man and Galaga await at the tabletop arcade unit. The pub table is ideal for drinks and cards. And there’s an air hockey table to elevate your gaming experience! Not to mention, the second-floor balcony is right off the loft, offering the best treetop and seasonal mountain vistas at the property.

Bedrooms
After a full day of fun at the mountaintop Anakeesta adventure park or a lazy day hanging out at your Smoky Mountain hideaway, retreat to the bedrooms at this 2-bedroom cabin for up to 6 guests. Step through double doors to the primary suite or second bedroom — with a queen-size bed, ceiling fan, TV, dresser, and en-suite bathroom with a shower/tub combo.

The bedrooms are separated by levels for added privacy. There’s a queen sleeper sofa in the living room. The primary bedroom is on the other side of the double-sided fireplace on the main level, helping create romantic or cozy evenings with your partner or a great book.

Outdoor Spaces
After a day of hiking trails, picnicking by waterfalls, or riding horses in Cades Cove, enjoy the wonderful outdoor spaces at your Smoky Mountain cabin rental. An open-and-covered deck offers soothing soaks in the steamy hot tub. There’s a top-floor balcony overlooking the treetops and seasonal mountain views! And both decks offer rocking chairs for that classic Appalachian cabin experience.

At this secluded cabin in Gatlinburg, there’s also an area for outdoor meals that features a picnic table and charcoal, picnic-style grill. Paved roads lead to the gravel parking area for up to 2 vehicles. And there are 5 steps up to reach the front porch, so you won’t have to lug suitcases or groceries up or down flights of stairs.

Other Amenities
Along with extra cabin amenities, take advantage of the comforts of home at your Gatlinburg rental cabin. Keyless entry allows you to check in and out right at the property, without having to manage physical keys or stop at an office. A washer and dryer invite you to wash after-hike clothes, refresh linens, or reuse provided towels during your stay. And you can tap into the free Wi-Fi* anytime.

Local Fun
Just 7 miles from downtown Gatlinburg and 8.4 miles to the heart of Pigeon Forge, you’ll be within a reasonable drive of Parkway attractions, events, entertainment, shops, and restaurants. Dare to cross the glass-bottom middle of the Gatlinburg SkyBridge, enjoy a magic show at the Gatlinburg Space Needle, zoom on the Moonshine Mountain Coaster, and explore the Hollywood Star Cars Museum…for starters. Plus, Dollywood, The Island, and The Old Mill Square are a hop, skip, and jump away!

Don’t forget to check out the many outdoor activities in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park — featuring unbelievable mountain views, sparkling rivers, towering forests, extraordinary wildlife, historic sites, and hidden gems.
