Very beautiful, clean, unique place. Lots of space and the kids loved the arcade games. Beautiful view. Wish we would have stayed longer, since we were only there a couple of days.

We had a wonderful time staying at Sophie’s hideout. The view was spectacular, the bear sightings were entertaining and the owner/host was very helpful. Also, the drive up was not so bad, but I do recommend arriving before dark the first time up. I would definitely stay here again.

Amazing Cabin.

The hideaway is a great place to stay, beautiful inside and out. Beautiful views. Really great for good with the movie room and game room. We’ve stayed on this cabin several times. One of the best all around!

We had an amazing time! The house is beautiful and so clean! A few of the arcade games weren’t working (big buck world, pac man) but the kids really enjoyed having their own space in the game room/movie room. We enjoyed spending time on the deck with the hot tub and tv, but would’ve liked if the furniture was a tad more comfortable or had cushions. We would’ve used the furniture from the lower deck more but it was soaked all weekend from the rain. We were happy to get a visit from the bear on our first day. He wasn’t scared of us at all so make sure to not leave any food or garbage out. The views from all balconies were gorgeous! We will definitely stay here again!!! Highly recommend!!!!

The views from the porches were breathtaking and were much enjoyed while having coffee in the morning and ending the day watching the sun go down. The area was peaceful and easy to get to. The cabin was clean. We were sad to leave! Would definitely stay again.

Great Stay and Amazing Views!

My family stayed in June of 2025. The cabin was fantastic. SO many games and activities for the kids. They were never bored and DID NOT want to leave. Lots of sleeping options. Hot tub was great. Movie room was awesome. Parking was easy and the cabin's location was really great. Short drives to heart of Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and the Smokies. Three things to note though: 1. the downstairs arcarde room and movie rooms are not accessible from inside the main cabin area. You have to go outside and down some stairs to get there. Not a huge deal, but we didn't realize it until we got there. 2. there are bears in the area. In fact, I forgot to lock our vehicle one night, and the bears gladly opened every door and gave our car a thorough "inspection." I knew better and take he blame for it, but do be sure to lock your car doors. 3. The pictures DO NOT do the view justice. The views from the cabin were nothing short of spectacular (see picture). We spent a lot of time just sitting there looking at the mountains (I believe it is Mt. LeCounte) facing the rear of the cabin. Lastly, the owner, Phil, was very easy to reach and communicated really well. Overall, it was a wonderful place to stay and I can't recommend it enough.

Highly recommend!

The pictures online do not do this place justice! My family and I have been coming to Gatlinburg for years, and we have never stayed in a place with such a beautiful view. We were also excited to see that it was already decorated for Christmas! The area is beautiful, and it’s just down the road from downtown Gatlinburg. We also saw a few bears multiple times throughout our trip (make sure to lock your cars!!). Absolutely cannot recommend this cabin enough, and my family is already planning our next trip!

I will begin by saying the pictures of the cabin and view do not do it justice! What a beautiful cabin and breath taking views! The size was perfect for an extended stay with all the amenities of home. Location was equal distance from downtown Gatlingurg and Pigeon Forge
