Other things to note
Frequently Asked Questions:

1. How is the drive to the cabin? The roads and private driveway to the cabin are paved and well maintained. As with most mountain areas there are curves, climbs and few guard rails so we highly suggest arriving before dark. Just pay close attention and drive slowly. City dwellers may need to channel their adventurous spirit. :)

2. Do I need 4-wheel drive to access the cabin? Only if the weather would require a 4-wheel drive to go anywhere such as heavy snow and icy conditions which is thankfully rare at our elevation of 1600 ft. Please check the weather before you leave.

3. What toiletries are provided? We provide shampoo, conditioner and body gel dispensers in each bathroom.

4. What household supplies are provided? Tissues in each bathroom, 1 roll of paper towel, 2 rolls of toilet paper per bathroom and dishwasher tablets. If you run out or need additional supplies, there's a Dollar General 10 minutes from the cabin.

5. Do you have a crib? Yes, we provide a Dream On Me mini crib outfitted with a mattress and sheets.

6. Do you provide a grill? NO, the BEARS have destroyed it one too many times and we are not replacing it again, sorry. You are welcome to bring your own grill..

7. Is the hot tub cleaned after every stay? Yes, it’s drained, cleaned, and refilled for every stay.

8. When will I get the address and cabin access info? This will be provided via message the day before your stay. A few days before your stay we’ll provide you with local info that will help you pack.

9. Do you offer discounts? We offer a weekly discount and a monthly discount. From time to time, we may reduce the price to fill any remaining dates and that reduction will be reflected in the price you see when you’re reserving the cabin.

10. What if it snows while we're traveling to the cabin? Although it rarely gets severely cold or snowy in the Smokes during the winter months, it does happen occasionally. Snowfall typically occurs December through March, and sometimes as early as November.

Please check the weather forecast before traveling. If the weather calls for snow, bring some extra groceries and wood for the fireplace just in case you get snowed in for a couple days (which is a rare occurrence but good to be prepared if the weather is calling for snow).

Also, if you plan to take Route 441 (Newfound Gap Pass) through Smoky Mountains National park check current road conditions at GSMNP as it's frequently closed during inclement weather.

We had a great time, really beautiful property and amazing views. This was our first trip to the Smokey’s and felt like this was the perfect location. Quick drive down the mountain to local shops for ice cream, coffee, pizza, beer, etc. we wanted to relax and not have all the busy-ness of the area Immediately surrounding us and this definitely checked the box. Short drives to gatlinburg, cades cove, etc. will be back!

Amazing cabin in a perfect location

If you are looking for a place to stay while visiting the Park and surrounding areas, you would be very hard pressed to find a better or more ideal spot than this one. The cabin was very clean and comfortable, the hosts were quick to respond to any questions, and any amenity that you would reasonably expect to have was provided. I will absolutely look to stay here again with family in the future. 5 stars, zero complaints.

Great Lodge with Amazing Views and Perfect Location

The lodge was as described, well maintained, very clean, perfectly equipped and location was good for the national park access. With a good mix of local restaurants near by to get breakfast before starting a day of exploring. Views from the lodge across the valley were amazing, especially enjoying a coffee particularly impressive at sunrise. Would highly recommend to any family wishing to have a private lodge with its own driveway and no direct neighbours. Comms with hosts before and during stay were timely and very informative.

Secret Ridge for a GREAT getaway

We saw a bear on day ONE at the cabin and it was so exciting. It didn't bother anything at all; just casually walked through the parking area and kept on going, but the whole crew was pumped to see it. The cabin was great and had everything we needed! We will definitely be back!

Perfect mountain retreat

My mom and I absolutely loved the location, view and privacy. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on all of the decks, and viewing gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. We got to see a family of black bears as well from the deck which was definitely a highlight for us. We enjoyed shopping in the Village downtown and hiked Laurel Falls Hike. Highly recommend this cabin, can’t beat the combination of privacy and convenience.

Getaway with wife

This place truly checked every box. It’s very close to a small town to venture into for groceries/dinner/coffee, but also located in a very secluded area where you feel like you’re the only house on the mountain. We got lots of wildlife visits- birds, bears, bobcat. It’s a short drive to the park. It also has a very long, secluded hiking trail that starts in the backyard and leads all the way into the National Park, which i think, is an under sold feature of the cabin. The property itself was very clean and spacious and had plenty of games/activities for a rainy day. We are very thankful we found this place and will stay here again.

About the host

We are currently living in the Chicagoland area with our 3 teenage kids and one of our family's favorite travel destinations is the Smoky Mountains. We hope you enjoy the luxury of this cabin as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We love the privacy and seclusion of this cabin while at the same time only being 10-15 minutes from all the action of this area.

What makes this property unique

Tired of the crowds at the Great Smoky Mountain National Park? We have a private hiking trail just a few steps from the cabin that leads you into the wonderful trail system inside the park!
