About this property

Romantic Cabin with Pool Table & Indoor Pool Access

Don’t be fooled by the name of this cabin. Although it’s called African Safari, the one-bedroom, one-level log home is the essence of mountain-cabin charm. And with amenities such as a pool table and access to an indoor heated pool year-round, it provides plenty of luxuries as well.

African Safari is located in the Hidden Springs Resort, less than 10 minutes from Dollywood and Parrot Mountain and Gardens. Within 15 minutes, you can drive to even more attractions, including the Titanic Museum, the Cal Ripken Experience, Blake Jones Racing Center, Gatlinburg Golf Course, dinner theaters, restaurants and more. The resort boasts excellent amenities, including an indoor heated pool and hot tub, ideal for a swim no matter the weather—rain, snow, or shine. Though this cabin doesn’t have a private hot tub.

When you’re not swimming in the pool or hitting the local hot spots, you’ll find plenty to enjoy in African Safari itself. The great room, for instance, includes a pool table and an electronic dartboard to get into the competitive spirit. For more laid-back entertainment, relax in one of the two recliners or stretch out on the leather sofa and watch a movie on the 32-inch TV with cable and a DVD player. In summer, the ceiling fan adds a refreshing breeze. The large wall of windows looking out toward the lush woodlands encourages daydreaming any time of year.

You can also head out to the large covered deck to revel in the sights and sounds of the setting. The deck is furnished with classic rocking chairs so you can kick back amid the breeze in timeless Smoky Mountain fashion. A long soak feels especially rejuvenating after a day of hiking in the nearby Great Smoky Mountains National Park or skiing at Ober Gatlinburg Amusement Park and Ski Area.

The deck includes a dining table so that you can enjoy meals alfresco. After all, the fresh mountain air makes even the simplest meal seem like a feast. Of course, there’s another table for four inside as well. Likewise, in addition to a charcoal grill outside, African Safari has a fully equipped kitchen indoors. Here, you’ll find all the appliances, gadgets, cookware and tableware you need, from a full-size refrigerator to a blender to a dishwasher.

The crowning glory of African Safari is its primary suite. The perfect intimate retreat, it includes a king-size bed, a TV, a private bathroom and perhaps best of all, a jetted tub. The bedroom also opens onto the deck, so you can savor a nightcap in the silvery moonlight before indulging in a restorative soak before nestling under the covers. Romance will no doubt be in the air!

If you have additional guests staying with you, the sofa in the great room accommodates two, and there’s a full bathroom nearby for added convenience!

You can pack light when you stay at African Safari. We’ll provide all the clean towels and linens you could possibly need. In fact, the king-size bed will be impeccably made up by the time you arrive, so you can sprawl out for a nap before you even unpack. What’s more, the cabin has its own washer and dryer. For once you can return from vacation without immediately having to do laundry!

The living is easy at African Safari—and isn’t that what a vacation is all about? So book your stay today. We’re looking forward to seeing you!

** Please Note: This area does not currently have internet access, and African Safari is unable to provide Wi-Fi. Additionally, the fireplace is currently out of order.

Not as Pictured

Seating in the living area is the sofa only. The one (not two) recliner beside the sofa was torn and broken. The lamp in the picture was broken and leaning against the corner by the pool table. The king bed had no mattress cover and the foam pad under the sheet was stained. There wasn't sufficient silverware for 4 as advertised. There are no hot pads for getting things out of the oven. The #4 on the microwave does not work. There was trash in the second bathroom, a dead bug on the mantel in living room, and dust all over the living room TV. The bedroom TV was not hooked up to the dish service so it was useless. There was a dead bird on the front porch. The CD/radio player had no electric cord or batteries so it was unusable. We reported these problems when we arrived and were told missing items were because other people steal things. We sent pictures of the broken items and the Property management thanked us for the pictures, but did nothing to correct problems. They did send someone to remove the dead bird and remove the CD/radio player. We had asked for batteries but they chose to remove the radio instead.

Quaint and cute

This location and facility is quaint and cute. The one regret is that it seems it hasn’t been maintained as well as it should. They were honest in the listing that the hot tub was non-functioning but they didn’t say that the jets in the indoor jacuzzi were also broken. The cable was a little hard to operate ( instructions near the TVs would have been helpful). And FYI on my last day in the home there were some dead and dying wasps or bees. One crawl into my dirty clothes and I stepped on it and was stung. I’m not sure I can really blame that on the facility because it is a cabin in the mountains and this could happen , but I’m only stating it so that the property owner is aware that there may be a problem and they can check it out before the next renter arrives. Overall the place was beautiful, clean and cozy and affordable compared to its neighbors

Don’t do it!!

This place was terrible. I’ll just list the problems. #1- no code given to gated community or cabin. We had to call them when we arrived. Thankfully we arrived before 8 pm because after that they do not answer the phone. #2- We enter and we’re super excited to see the pool and hot tub (our main reason for renting this), we’re excited, kids are excited especially coming from the north after a long winter. Well surprise, neither of those items work. I called and complained 2 days in a row and finally they said they would send vouchers for an attraction to make up for our disappointment. Okay fine.. but they never sent them. I called back they said they would again send them, once again never sent them. I’m not sure what kind of business practice this is but they suck and should do better. When people drive 12 hours to get to this place it would be great to get what they reserved. #3- There is an ant problem in the kitchen #4- Do not think you’re going to be able to wash dishes/shower and/or use toilet at the same time because the toilets will start gurgling and fill with water. #5-There was no peace and quiet here to at least sit outside and listen to nature with the dilapidated hot tub. It does not work and doesn’t look like it’s been cleaned since 1985 but the damn motor was running the entire time and never could locate an outlet to unplug it. This place was disappointing for sure on almost every level. The worst part is that nobody even tried to make it right.

Adequate

Nice cabin. The location, hot tub, jacuzzi, and pool access were wonderful! We’ve stayed at this resort several times in several different cabins. For the price we paid, I would expect some updated TVs and decently comfortable bedding. The King bed was very uncomfortable, the recliner was super old and dirty looking. The information said there were 2 recliners and there was only one. Without some updates, I wouldn’t stay here again.

Has potential... Could of been better.

I don't even know where to start...... As we are bringing in all of our belongings and groceries, I first noticed the fridge was turned all the way down so I cut it up and the fridge took days to even cool ( wasn't even cold enough through our stay). Socks from previous guest was in the washer & dryer area. Bathrooms was not fully cleaned (toilet seats). The hot tub was not full causing the jets to shoot water out above the water level that it was at. The most upsetting was a dirty bed. We couldn't even use the bedding provided because there was a se** stain on the comforter. This was even more stressing due to covid19 and this home was not properly cleaned.

Weekend get-a-way! Family of 4.

The check in process was not smooth. Never got a code for the door. Had to call and be on hold for 30+ min before we could talk to anyone. The TV’s are outdated and nothing for my kids to watch. Couches were old, we didn’t sit on them. Recliner was very dingy and outdated. King bed was just ok. I’ve slept on worse. Definitely wasn’t a pillow top! Only has 3 pillows, so if you usually sleep with more, bring more! None for the fold out sleeper sofa. My 8 year old never complains, but he got up and said, “that wasn’t very comfortable!” The floors creek so bad. If I had smaller children who were light sleepers, this would not be ideal. It woke me up several times. The grill was broke that was outside. It was very small one, but we weren’t able to use because it was bent over. Hot tub did warm up once we turned the temp up. It was nice. Outside seating on the back porch was nice Location to both gatlinburg and pigeon forge was nice. We didn’t stay in the cabin much, mainly only to sleep. If we didn’t have other activities to do outside of the cabin, I would have called to request to move locations or ask for refund.

Fall getaway 2019

The cabin was beautiful. The location was perfect. Peaceful and quiet yet not too far from the Parkway. One oversight on our part, this cabin does not have WiFi and it was difficult to get a signal at all (hint - we were able to from the far side of the bedroom!). The whirlpool tub was not usable as the hot water didn’t seem to last long enough to fill the tub and the water slowly drained out - but it was ok since the hot tub was great! The cabin was clean and comfortable. The access code gave us a bit of trouble the second time we returned to the cabin but one phone call was able to resolve the issue. Furniture was ok with the exception of one of the recliners. It really should be removed it is that bad. Since it was just two of us it wasn’t much of an inconvenience. 😊👍

Enjoyed our stay but....

Great space, lovely view. Atmosphere according to my husband was The Lion King meets the Smokies! One recliner was broken but we called and told the property manager that we were just reporting it but we didn’t need it. One thing is that the bed though comfortable had terribly flat pillows. I went out and bought a pillow as a have a neck issues and need a firm pillow. Four standard pillows would be nice. Overall a great visit to the Smokies! This unit is not way up a mountain either. Very close to Dollywood.

Dated and Dirty

Not what I expect when I rent from Mt Jackson Homes. Where do I begin? The cabin must not see much activity for things were dirty, from the windows to the furniture being sticky and recliners being stained and one partially broken. One trash bag, which ripped when emptied, was included, no others. One pot holder, limited cooking utensils and pans. The TVs were old tube and did not have separate channel capability with very limited satellite channels. The view was other cabins upward across a small ravine. The "african safari" theme was tolerable and not an issue. For the cost associated with this cabin, it did not compare to other cabins we have rented. Bees buzzed throughout the deck making it unsittable. The hot tub was the only plus along with the gas fireplace, for NO INTERNET provided --read the small print on this one. The community indoor all season pool DID have internet and the pool was nice but the area not well kept with sliding doors that did not work properly. Disappointed in the overall cost with the cabin being so dated and lacking internet and decent TV.

Great cabin with tons of space.

Nice cabin with a huge balcony. The view from the backside is not as nice as some of the others higher up on the mountain but we thought it was cozy and comfortable. The fireplace is double sided so you can enjoy it from the living room and the bedroom. Plenty of seating if you have several guests with you. Although we didn't use it, there is a pool table to enjoy along with other games to play. I would highly recommend this cabin.
