Book it!!This cabin was a great setup for my wife, two little girls and me for our trip to the Smokies. The deck's view is spectacular. This cabin just moved into setting the standard by which others will be judged if we can't stay here again.In October at least, the painted sky from sunrise and sunset are visible from the deck. The swing, patio table, rockers and hot tub provide many options to enjoy the view, and it's screened in to keep bug impacts to a minimum. Inside, the main area is nicely sized and flexible.In cabins, we aim to balance accessibility to civilization and out in the middle of no where feel. This cabin strikes the right balance. Pigeon Forge is around 10 minutes away, but at least when the leaves are on the trees, it feels like you're the only cabin on the mountain when you're on the deck. There is a cabin up the hill behind you and one some distance below. You can see the cabin behind when behind the house, and you can sometimes hear people in the cabin below through the trees, but it feels very private.The host is very communicative and helpful.Three things worth noting: First, the road up may make some drivers nervous. It's narrow, winding and has a sharp drop-off on the side in some parts. It feels too small, but our larger Honda Pilot was fine. Second, the kitchen was not as well stocked as others. If you plan to bake, for instance, bring measuring cups. Third, low water flow in bathroom faucets is a bit inconvenient but (slowly) works out.

Spectacular view for sure! Just make sure you have a vehicle for the steep climb. That should be included in the details. WiFi was good, air conditioning was good, great hot tub, secure front porch for that view. We had 4 people and and stayed 2 nights and had plenty of supplies. Communication was great.

I do NOT recommend this cabin until some maintenance issues are corrected. Our stay Jun 6-12, 20261. Small animal in the upstairs toilet at 1:30 am, Friday, 6/12. A baby squirrel was in toilet bowl. I removed it without harm using a pitcher. It appears small animals can crawl in the roof sewer vent and make their way to the toilet bowl. A metal mesh cover over the roof vent pipe could prevent in the future2. Fiberglass insulation in the air vents. Sat, 6/6/26, insulation packed in the downstairs den HVAC vent register cover. Appears a small animal had built a nest. Also in downstairs bathroom vent as well. VRBO contact got maint guy to check it out. Maint guy came next day to vacuum vents. Vac didn't have bag filter & started blowing dust. Immediately cut it off & left to get bag filter. Texted VRBO contact maint guy to check duct work under house to see if animal had eaten into duct work. Maint discovered under house 2 holes taping with duct tape in different places that some animal had eaten holes in duct work3. Tap water bad smell. Would not drink cold. Purchased 4 gallons purified water & case of bottled waterOther maint items:Refrig inconsistent cooling/liquids freeze in fridge/freezer items not 100% frozenNo icemaker/manual trays only/water line & automatic ice maker neededMicrowave light outDen TV frequent internet drops/req'd multiple restartsDownstairs bath/vent fan light bulb burnt outWash/Dryer Door still missing since 2025/noise disrupts sleep & TV
