Living Room
After a full day of fun exploring The Island in Pigeon Forge, visiting Anakeesta Mountain in Gatlinburg, or catching rainbow trout in the national park, return to your cozy cabin to unwind in the living room. Picture windows invite you to gaze at the marvelous up-close mountain views and tree-studded landscape. And there’s an electric (heated) fireplace to help set the mountain mood in fall or winter.
Deal a deck of cards on the beautifully crafted coffee table, switch on the fireplace, and enjoy a comfortable evening together. Sofas and armchairs offer great options for your next reading session with a glass of wine or entertainment time with the TV. This grand space is open concept, so everyone can stay connected between the living, dining, and kitchen areas.
Kitchen
Cook homemade dishes or grab a round of restaurant leftovers in the full kitchen at your Smoky Mountain cabin rental. Outfitted with a large island, stone countertops, major stainless-and-black appliances, pots and pans, cooking utensils, glasses, mugs, and dishware, you’ll have everything you need! All you have to do is pick up your favorite snacks and drinks plus fresh ingredients.
Catch up with your bros or gal pals with a round of coffee from the double-duty coffeemaker for pots and single cups while sitting at the island’s breakfast bar. Use the industrial-style sink to rinse fruits and vegetables. Bust out the crockpot for one-pot meals or bake a casserole in the electric oven. And the dishwasher makes clean-ups a breeze!
There are also several windows around the kitchen (in addition to the picture windows across the living area) — letting in plenty of natural light and views of the great outdoors.
Dining Room
Gather for mealtimes at the exquisite hand-carved table in the dining area at your luxury cabin rental in Pigeon Forge.

Built-in steps and a rail make it easy to get in and out of the pool. You’ll have 3 convenient entrances to the pool room, all with splash alarms for safety. You can walk right into the half bathroom. And there’s a rinse shower right by the swimming pool!
Rec Room + Loft
When you’re not checking out seasonal Smoky Mountain events or playing at Parkway attractions, keep the good time rolling at your Pigeon Forge hideaway — with a game room + media space!
