The Space:
A sprawling deck wraps around the entire house, providing gorgeous panoramas of the surrounding beauty. Soak in the private hot tub or relax around the gas firepit. A convenient location near Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg keeps you close to amusement parks, attractions and the area’s top-rated attractions.

Inside, three floors of living space include two game rooms with billiards, poker table and an arcade game, an in-home movie theater, and welcoming mountain décor.

The upstairs Master is a spacious king bedroom, with amazing bathroom, complete with a deep soaking tub and tiled shower.

The main floor is home to 2 cozy Queen bedrooms and a shared full bath with shower/tub combo. The kitchen, laundry and living areas are also on the floor.

The lower level includes 2 awesome bunk rooms, a full bath with step-in shower, plus a game room and movie theater!

Guests also have access to swimming pools at Honeysuckle Meadows between May and October, as well as year round access to their catch and release stocked fishing pond.

The Neighborhood:
Driving to the cabin on arrival, you'll be awestruck by the majestic mountain ranges of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

Wrapping the entire home, a large deck is the perfect outdoor retreat. Relax in rocking Adirondack chairs or sway peacefully in the swinging love seat as burgers sizzle on the gas grill. In the evening, unwind in the private hot tub or around the gas fire pit.

Play horseshoes in the grassy backyard. A charming gazebo with a picnic table is perfect for alfresco meals.

Awesome trip

The house was in a great location with the level grounds. Plenty of space for the whole famiily. The theater room was amazing had family time in the evenings. Spent most of our time boosting the local economy lol. The house was very clean. Everything we needed was available on site. I couldn't be happier with Autumnrose.

Much needed time away with family

The Great Smoky Mountains did not disappoint. The Autumn Rose is beautiful and was exactly as pictured and described. My husband, our adult children and my parents stayed here for 7 nights. Everyone had their own space to relax and unwind if they chose. The porch is beautiful and is where we spent the majority of our time. The owners were quick to respond when we needed them. If I were to revisit the Sevierville area I would prefer a cabin more in the mountains and not in a development. However for our first visit this was a great location and not to far from anything that we wanted to do.

Mountain Happiness

Overall we just loved our stay at Autumn Rose! The house met all of our needs and more. It was so comfortable for our large group! The porch was amazing and the furniture was comfortable. We were close to everything we wanted to do. The only complaint we had was that the floors could have been cleaner when we arrived, but everything else was clean. We would stay here again!!

No privacy

No privacy, and the property owners should find another house cleaning service. The place looked clean on the first appearance but was really dirty. Cameras on every corner and watching the hot tub area is a little disturbing also. Personally the beds were completely outdated and wore out.

Family Fall Trip

The men ride motorcycles so we look for a property that has safe, easy access for them, with room to park multiple vehicles and trailers. This property fit the bill. Paved roads all the way to the property, with plenty of parking. The property was well maintained and met the needs of 14 adults. We cooked all our meals at the cabin and it was well equipped with appliances and cookware for a large group. Throughly enjoyed our time on the porch with everyone playing corn hole and the younger adults enjoyed the theater room. If I’m the area again we will definitely stay here again.

Family Vacation

The Autumn Rose is a beautiful home with plenty of entertainment choices for the entire family. Our family ranged from ages 8 to 71 and all were happy with the home, location and the fun things to do! We had family movie nights in the home theater and game nights at the large dining room table. There was plenty of room for our family. The house was clean and check in was easy. Sean was very responsive to all communications. We would definitely stay again at this home!

4 generation family getaway

Our family of twelve ages 6 months to 80 years old loved this cabin. We spent lots of time on the deck during the day and evening. The large table allowed us to ask eat together. We also enjoyed playing board there and in the gazebo oot back. The host were wonderful and quick to respond whenever we sent a message. Such beautiful cabin with beautiful views.

Perfect stay in the Smokies!

We recently stayed at the Autumn Rose and it was absolutely perfect for our spring break in the Smoky Mountains! The cabin was beautiful! Very clean, plenty of room for everyone to have space and had everything we needed. Awesome movie room and game room, great hot tub that the kids especially enjoyed each night and the gas fire pit was the perfect place to sit around and relax on the “ best darn porch in the Smokies” in the evenings. The location was perfect, No winding roads high in the mountains to maneuver and a big yard for kids to play. Sean couldn’t have been a better host! He was so helpful in answering questions, always replied immediately and even accommodated us adding an extra night onto our stay. We love the Pigeon Forge area and we certainly found the perfect cabin for our stay!

This house did not disappoint! We loved how well appointed it was. We had everything we needed and more for a week with our family. The owners were gracious and replied very quickly to our questions. We absolutely loved the theater room, the pool table, arcade game and counting all the bears in the house! Thank you for a wonderful week!

Holiday Family Vaca

This was a great cabin for our planned family vaca to TN! We were in a good location to venture through Pigeon Forge as well as another whole day spent in Gatlinburg. The cabin’s hot tub and movie room were perfect for our family to add some extra things to do during our down time at the cabin. The host was always responsive almost immediately when any questions or concerns were posed. We will be back for sure!

Family Christmas Trip

Sean was amazing. When we arrived there was an issue, but he took immediate action to remedy the situation and communicated with us until resolution was obtained. He was the ultimate host. The home was perfect for our family Christmas. It was extremely cold outside, so having the large TV Theater area was really nice. The kids (old and young) loved the arcade game and pool table. The home has a lovely porch that we really were not able to take advantage of due to the cold weather, but I image it is amazing in warmer temperatures. The location was nice, not too far from town, but far enough that you didn't have all the congestion of down town.

Very nice cabin for a large family

Overall we had a very pleasant week at this cabin. The only issues we had were that the cleaning crew could have done a better job in the basement theater room (popcorn on the floor), and the main floor tv remote was not working. Sean was excellent to communicate with, and had a new tv remote shipped to the cabin before our stay ended. There was plenty of room inside and on the outside porch for everyone. The extra large dining room table came in very handy for us. The location was just right, far enough away from busy Pigeon Forge, but could still get to wherever we wanted with a short drive. Thanks again Sean!!

Best darn porch? Try best darn cabin… period

The wrap around porch was great! Hot tub was clean and worked fantastic, seating everywhere and we loved playing cornhole! Inside the cabin was amazing too! Incredibly clean and the kitchen was well stocked with all of the cooking supplies we needed. Ideal amount of parking for a full supply of extended family and friends and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We spent a good amount of time in the yard spaces around the cabin playing soccer and spike ball. Well manicured and safe to run around barefoot. We would HIGHLY recommend staying in the listing. The hosts are incredibly proud of their cabin and leave no room for confusion on using their facilities. We absolutely loved having instructions for the starting the grill and fire pit, changing the settings on temp/jets on the hot tub, and other useful tips around the house! Nothing was confusing. This cabin is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Weekend Getaway

The property was in a wonderful neighborhood, quiet and easy to get to. The pool was further down the highway some, but again easy to get to. The porch needed to be sprayed off, and Sean sent out service tech to check the stove and tub (tub will leak in kitchen if you are not careful when taking a shower or bath). All noted before we arrived. OVERALL, my family and I enjoy the cabin and making memories on the beautiful large porch! Highly recommended. Thanks again Sean for allowing my family to enjoy your home! Rita

Host profile image
Ashley has been travelling to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg since she was a small child with her family. After getting married, she and Sean began visiting first as a couple, and then as a growing family. With children aged 2 to 17, we've experienced every version of the Smokies experience. From moonshine tasting and barhopping as young adults, to fine dining as a "mature" couple, to zipline and horseback adventures, to the full-on family Dollywood experience! The Great Smoky Mountain National Park has been an anchor of every trip, and should be visited by every guest at Autumn Rose.
