This cabin is truly a gem, offering breathtaking views that are unlike anything I've ever experienced. However, I would advise against bringing young children due to the challenging access and steep terrain. For those who are not afraid of heights and can navigate the location, I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to this stunning retreat. The scenery is well worth the journey!

Amazing property! If you want a quiet retreat, this is the perfect place! It is tucked in the mountain side with no neighbors looking in your windows. Relax on the deck and listen to nature, or read a good book. Spacious on the inside, perfectly spaced out bedrooms with plenty of bathrooms for everyone! Perfect location between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg! We are excited to plan another trip down and to book another stay there! Thanks Anita for the wonderful communication from beginning to the end.

Great cabin, awful roads
The cabin itself was beautiful, and looked exactly like the pictures. BUT all guests considering this property need to note that the roads up to it are very dangerous. I have stayed in the area many times before (probably 15 times) and these are by far the steepest and most narrow roads I’ve encountered. I did message the owner asking about the roads prior to booking and she did say they were windy/steep, but said 4 wheel drive wasn’t required. I genuinely do now know how anybody’s car would make it up without 4 wheel drive. Parts of the road were not even big enough for two cars, which made it very dangerous when encountering a car from the other direction around a curve you can’t see. And I wouldn’t dare try it with an older car. One of our drivers literally had a panic attack after driving up it the first time, it was that bad. I understand this is not the owners fault but I wanted to share to help others. Again, I have stayed in the area several times and have never encountered such dangerous roads. FAR worse than average for the area. For that reason, I would not select this cabin again. Additionally we were not given enough trash bags or toilet paper and had to buy more, which was a bit disappointing considering what we paid for the cabin.

Beautiful Home on to of Mountain
Beautiful home in the middle of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Beautiful views. Felt secluded on top a mountain, which made it feel very relaxing. Great area for kids in basement area with pool table. Only drawback is grill outside is old and did not work.
