About this property

Sweet Mountain Retreat: Theater, Game Room with Ping Pong, Amazing Mtn Views, EV

Welcome to Sweet Mountain Retreat, a luxury log cabin, which finished construction in December 2018. Sweet Mountain Retreat is a stunning 3 bedroom, 3 full bathroom (plus 2 half bathroom) mountain lodge with space for 12 and an impressive list of amenities. Modeled after the picturesque Moulton Barn in Grand Teton National Park, this cabin has a loft and the open feel of a barn, barnwood ceilings and farmhouse furnishings. As you arrive at Sweet Mountain Retreat, you will be amazed at the magnificent views of the Smoky Mountains from this large 2 1/2 story cabin!

After taking in the incredible views from the hot tub outside as well as the two-story great room inside, you can enjoy your favorite movie in the cabin’s own theater room that comfortably seats 9 people in reclining theater seats. Following a lively evening of ping pong or pool, or just hanging out with family and friends in the rockers on the deck, you can relax in one of the cabin’s two private king bedrooms (on opposite ends of the main floor) that each have their own tub, shower, double vanity, flat screen TV, and doors that open to a view of the mountains. Kids and kids at heart love the bunk room (on the lower level along with the game room and theater room) with two sets of bunk beds - one queen and one twin - and an Xbox One.

Sweet Mountain Retreat has a dedicated housekeeping crew that cleans and maintains it to high standards (most cabin rentals are serviced by rotating crews who clean many cabins per day). Many previous guests have described this cabin as very clean. We have two full sets of luxurious sheets and towels for this cabin that are meticulously cleaned and switched out before each stay, so you are not dealing with sheets and towels that were previously used in a cabin that allowed smoking, pets or fraternity parties. We have added liquid hand soap to each sink to ensure that all guests can continue to keep themselves and others germ-free.

Also, if you decide to leave your mountain paradise, you are only minutes away from the attractions of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Enjoy attractions such as Dollywood, Dolly Parton's Stampede, or The Island in Pigeon Forge. Sweet Mountain Retreat is less than 15 miles and 30 minutes away from these locations and the most popular area attractions (driving time is approximate):
Pigeon Forge: 3 miles, 8 minutes
Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster: 5 miles, 11 minutes
Parkway: 6 miles, 13 minutes
Kroger and Publix: 6 - 7 miles, 12 - 14 minutes
Island in Pigeon Forge (including Old Smoky TN Moonshine): 7 miles, 15 minutes
Titanic Museum & Hatfield & McCoy dinner show: 8 miles, 17 minutes
Tanger Outlet Mall & Dolly Parton's Stampede: 9 miles, 19 minutes
Dollywood & Splash Country: 10 miles, 20 minutes
Great Smoky Mountains National Park: 11 miles, 21 minutes
Gatlinburg: 13 miles, 23 minutes
Ripley's Aquarium & SkyPark: 15 miles, 27 minutes
Soaky Mtn Waterpark & River Rat Tubing: 14 - 15 miles, 29 minutes

So what are you waiting for? Sweet Mountain Retreat is the perfect chance to get away with family and friends and enjoy the Smokies.

Best Familymoon Ever!

We booked our stay without ever being in the smokies. My husband and I just got married on 11/11. We decided instead of a honeymoon we wanted to go on a familymoon to combine our blended family and have an experience that would be remembered by all. Everyone said it was the best trip and the cabin definitely had something for everyone. We would absolutely recommend booking it or any other cabins Mindy and her family own. They are amazing hosts. They go above and beyond to make you feel like you are staying at a friend's place. cabin allowed for fun, beauty,

Perfect for a family

We stayed at Sweet Mountain Retreat for 4 nights, and it was perfect for our family with young teens! They had a blast playing ping pong, air hockey, and xbox! The movie theater was also a fun surprise for them! My favorite part was the view - miles of quiet rolling hills with incredible sunrise and sunset views! Communication was great, and we had no problems! Thanks for sharing your beautiful cabin!

Perfect!!

Our stay at Sweet Mountain Retreat was perfect! Everything about the house was great. The kitchen was well stocked, the house was very clean upon arrival, the theater room was a hit, there were plenty of games for the kids/adults to play, and the view off the back decks was simply amazing! The house is just a short drive to many things in nearby Pigeon Forge. I would 100% recommend this house to anyone, we truly enjoyed our stay!

Great house. Great host

We (6 guys) stayed in this house for 4 days on a guys trip and had a great time. Plenty of stuff to do with the ping pong, air hockey, poll table, theater, and arcade. It also isn’t very far away from the tourist attractions. When we had questions and messaged the host, she responded swiftly and provided answers, despite it being pretty late at night. Only downside we encountered is that depending on how much you fill up trash bags you will probably have to buy some trash bags on your own. At the time we went, there was only one extra bag in the kitchen. That being said, we did leave the ones we bought, so the next guest will be lucky and have plenty. Also the top floor with the pool table gets quite warm, so make sure you turn those fans on as soon as you get there. We would definitely book here again.

Best VRBO We Have Used!!

This was hands down the cleanest and best prepared VRBO we have used in over 5 years of renting houses. The place was immaculately cleaned, the communications extremely prompt and courteous, and the check-in / check-out and property usage instructions very detailed and thorough, yet also thoughtfully prepared and easy to follow. Amazing views from the house, in a nice neighborhood surrounded by other high end rentals and nice homes. The kids loved all of the entertainment as well. Highly recommended!!

Sweetest Mountain Retreat

From the moment we drove up to beautiful log home we knew that we had made a wonderful choice. Walking in we noticed the the wall of windows that faced the breath taking views of the mountains. The kitchen is wonderful and perfectly stocked with everything you can imagine utensil wise. The 2 master bedrooms each have a walk in closet, master bath with double sinks, a shower and large tub. The loft has a pool table and it's own bathroom. The lower level contains the laundry room, game/rec room 3rd bedroom with 2 bunkbeds (1 twin size and 1 we believe might be a queen size bunk)as well as a full size bathroom and home theater. Hot is on the lower desk. Both decks run across the full length of the cabin and contain composite rockers and high top tables with 4 chairs each. The entire unit is perfectly clean when you arrive and smells absolutely wonderful inside. There's a charcoal grill outside, flat screen tvs in every room and views that pictures don't do justice. As a married couple we enjoyed having our coffee and breakfast out on the upper deck each morning. We absolutely loved every minute we were inside Sweet Mountain Retreat and plan on returning. We do have to say that the property owner went above and beyond to accommodate us and our needs during our entire stay of 8 days. I've already recommended SMR to 5 friends family and will continue to do so. Have a wonderful time if you decide to stay here and take care of it so its just as wonderful the next time we visit.

Fantastic Property in an excellent area

We loved staying here. Very clean and well maintained. So much to do. We had a rainy day and no one complained. We had fun just staying in and watching a movie in the theater room and playing pool and all the other games. The view is beautiful. We loved drinking our coffee or just sitting on the deck to look at the mountains.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Sweet Mountain Retreat's lot the first time we saw it. Sweet Mountain Retreat is really unlike most cabins in the area with its breathtaking endless mountain views along with trees beside it that make it feel private. Whether relaxing in the many rocking chairs or enjoying dinner in the cabin with family and friends, we really feel like we are in the middle of the Smoky Mountains. The theater room and game rooms are fun, and all accommodations are luxury farmhouse style.

What makes this property unique

Sweet Mountain Retreat is a large luxury log cabin with incredible views from inside and outside the cabin. Modeled after the picturesque Moulton Barn in Grand Teton National Park, this cabin has a loft and the open feel of a barn, barnwood ceilings and farmhouse furnishings. Most of the lower level is an entertainment area with a large theater room with reclining theater seats, and a game room with ping pong, arcade game, and air hockey. Adults love the 2 master suites, each with its own full bathroom. Children love sleeping in the bunk room with 2 sets of bunk beds. The cabin has a very open floor plan with a 2 story wall of windows overlooking the mountains. Sweet Mountain Retreat also has a very distinctive long farmhouse style dining table that can comfortably sit multiple families and a kitchen with slate appliances and an island with additional seating.
