Cozy cabin with a great view

This cabin was exactly as described. Kim is a fabulous, attentive host! The cabin was cozy and had everything I needed. Most importantly, it was peaceful and the view was spectacular. After the storm rolled through, there was a beautiful rainbow over the mountains. At dusk, a bear wandered by, which was a fun surprise!

Only spent the night

We arrived at check in time but the power was out due to a storm. Host kept us in the loop. Power came back at almost 9pm. (no fault of host). Next morning woke up early to have cup of coffee on deck and watch sunrise, however at around 7am (way before quiet time was over. 10pm-8am is quiet time) the construction workers across the street started their day. All I could hear was workers yelling, saws cutting, hammers banging and a lot of noise. All we wanted was a few days in the mountains to unwind from work and the daily hustle of life yet we couldn't even start the day with a little peace and quiet. We contacted the host and she said she didn't know there was a cabin being built because she hadn't been at the property in months, yet there are several cameras at the front of the cabin (in the direction of the cabin under construction). She ultimately refunded our stay (12 hours is all we stayed). We would have been very happy there as it's a great cabin with pretty views but the host was not forthcoming with the cabin under construction across the street. Cabin is private in the summer because of the trees, but fall/winter months is not private because there is a close cabin to the left and another to the right.

Perfect for a couple getaway that wants a cabin setting.

The only thing I would change is having a better ramp to the lower floor. Our dog wouldn’t do the spiral staircase. Other than that we loved the cabin.

Incredible views and amazing cabin ❤️

Sunrises we’re breathtaking! Just sitting in the rocking chairs watching hawks circle in the sky overlooking the mountains and Wears Valley was amazing. Lots to do with uh a short distance, including an entrance to the park just down the mountain. We LOVED everything about this property (the hot tub is great!)!! Highly recommend ❤️

Great views for sure

Lovely cabin with the best sunrise view you could ask for. Clean and a great location. Highly recommend. Be careful with GPS because it doesn’t put you directly at the cabin. Also there are two ways up to the cabin. Take my advise and come up from the east side of the mountain. The west side is a little scary if you’re not use to mountain roads.

Rising Sun - Amazing Vacation

We absolutely loved our stay at Rising Sun. The cabin was immaculate and exceeded our expectations. It was very well appointed, and the decorations were charming. A stay here without experiencing the beautiful sunrises from the rocking chairs on the upper deck would truly be a missed opportunity. And there was nothing better than relaxing in the hot tub after exploring Smoky Mountain NP. We stayed over the 4th of July so we had the added bonus of watching fireworks from the hot tub. Just wonderful! Kim was very attentive to us. She made us feel welcome and cared for. Rising Sun is a slice of heaven. Thanks for making our vacation one we will not forget!

Enjoyed Our Stay

A big Thank You to the owner Kim for her amazing customer service. My husband and I decided to take a trip to the mountains last minute so we jumped in the car and started driving. I began looking for places to stay as we drove and started communicating with Kim around 7:45pm and continued until around 11:00pm getting everything squared away. And even though her contractor had just finished some renovations a few hours earlier she and her cleaner still made the necessary accommodations to get the cabin ready for us. We are very grateful for her responding to us so late and allowing us to enjoy a quick weekend in her lovely cabin. Her communication with us during our stay was spot on as well. The cabin offered just what we were looking for a nice cozy feel with great views. Our goal was to enjoy a relaxing weekend inside the cabin and we were able to do just that with everything it offered. The only downside is we couldn’t stay an extra day to watch the snow fall because if the roads got bad there was a chance we wouldn’t be able to get back down the mountain so just keep that in mind if going when it’s snowing.

About the host

Hosted by Kim Burks

Host profile image
I was born and raised in Laurel, Mississippi. I moved to Nashville, Tennessee in February 2016. I have one fur baby, a Havanese named Rico. I have a career in the medical field, but my passion is real estate and traveling. I love art - painting, crocheting, knitting, designing, and rehabbing/painting furniture. I enjoy hiking and chasing waterfalls! One of my favorite's is Ramsey's Cascade in the Great Smoky Mountains, Greenbriar area & Cummins Falls in Cookeville, TN. I like to cook & am fairly good at it if you like home cooking. I love to listen to vinyl records, seeing live music, riding roller coasters, zip lining, watching baseball & hockey, and drinking good coffee & wine at their designated times. I’m pretty easy going and love meeting new people on my adventures. I’ve stayed in several Airbnb’s and have met some great people on the platform who I now call my friends. I met Matt in Nashville while he was in school. He is from Leopold, Missouri and also has a career in healthcare. He loves music of all kinds but especially metal. He plays base and is really good at trivia. He enjoys meeting new people, reading & traveling. He has 11 year old twins & 2 cats. Since we met, we have travelled to - Knoxville, TN Gatlinburg, TN Asheville, NC Pittsburg, PA Louisville, KY Lexington, KY Chicago, IL Laurel, MS New Orleans, LA Iceland Due to COVID the Ireland trip was postponed :(

Why they chose this property

I absolutely love this property! It is warm & cozy! The hot tub is so relaxing & you are likely to see a bear! Wears Valley is the perfect area with cute & charming shops! There are delicious restaurants within minutes from the cabin! You are just close enough to all the hustle & bustle of Gatlinburg/ Pigeon Forge/ Sevierville without being in the frustrating traffic!
