About this property

Great view, hot tub, private!

Walden’s View is in a private, elevated location with beautiful mountain views. It is perfect for a couple or a small family.

It is a true log cabin with all-wood tongue and groove interior and salvaged wood floors, a cathedral ceiling and wood spiral staircase. The kitchen boasts reclaimed barnwood cabinetry and stainless appliances.

From the front deck you can listen to the tree frogs, or hear an occasional moo from a cow or gobble from a wild turkey in the valley below. Fireflies light the summer night sky and the scent of honeysuckle fills the air in the spring.

In the living room, curl up in front of the wood-burning stone fireplace on the sleeper sofa. Firewood can be purchased from grocery stores in town. Entertainment includes a 65” plasma smart tv with Blu-ray.

The cozy queen bedroom is on the main level and has an LCD flat screen satellite tv. The main level has a full bathroom with shower/tub combination as well as a separate half bath. These are both located directly off the living room and the half bath is the doorway right next to the master bedroom.

The circular staircase leads to the loft where you can play pool while watching the game on a flatscreen tv. A second bedroom and bath with shower are also upstairs. This bedroom provides a twin over full futon bunk bed, and a flatscreen tv with an XBox and plenty of games.

The front deck offers a gas grill. Return from a busy day at Dollywood or from hiking through the Park, turn on the string lights and some music, grill a steak, pour a drink and relax in the hot tub!

From “Walden’s View” you can be in Pigeon Forge in less than 25 minutes for all the action, or go to the quieter side, where you’ll find Cades Cove and an entrance to the National Park. In either direction the drive through the valley is stunning. Whaley’s, an upscale grocery store, is just 6 miles away! Kroger is about two miles farther.

We live 4 hours from our cabin, so our friends at 'Great Cabins in the Smokies' manage the property locally. This means you can rest assured there is local assistance if you have any problems.

The cabin also has wireless internet and internet-based phone service, so long distance calls are no problem.

Note: Our cabin is at the top of the road, which is what provides such a nice view. It is pretty steep and was recently paved (May 2021).

PETS: We accept dogs (no more than 2) with a MAX WEIGHT of 40 lbs each. No exceptions. Please do not request a booking with a dog of over 40 lbs. Our pet fee is a per pet rate.

Quiet, cozy getaway

Very cute cabin high in the hills away from all the touristy chaos, but just close enough to all the attractions. Great place if you are looking to escape and just relax.

Unbelievable

So quiet and relaxing. No one around to bother you other than mother nature. The cabin is stunning. The extra touches made for your comfort are extra thoughtful. Will stay here again if the future lets me. We didnt want to leave. Having coffee on the deck in the morning was wonderful.

So relaxing

We were traveling back from New York to our home in Texas. Stopping here after the chaos of New York was exactly what we needed. The cabin is immaculately clean, has everything you could possibly want so quiet that we slept better than we had in quite a while, close to pigeon Forge and Dollywood, and all the other tourist attractions, but far enough away, so that you are surrounded by seclusion and peacefulness, it was just me and my wife and it was exactly what we needed to start the new year. Thank you for letting us stay at your cabin.

Overall good experience

Nice cabin with great views. Lots of amenities at the cabin and it was about 12-15 minutes from the main road in pigeon forge. Good communication with the staff through email. Big TV in living room. Fireplace is wood burning. The only issue that we had was there is no fan in the master bedroom and no air circulation in the master bedroom. This detracted from the overall experience.

Thanksgiving break

We had a good Thanksgiving at this cabin. When we got there we found out that the wifi had been cut on the mountain somewhere which wouldnt have been too bad but there is no cell service there. It got fixed around noon the next day. Carolyn at the property management office was very attentive in helping us figure out what was going on. Only thing i would say I would that could be improved is the futon mattress upstairs needs to be replaced. It is pretty uncomfortable.

Home away from home

This was our first time visiting Tennessee and it was truly amazing. The cabin was beautiful and peaceful. Very clean. The location was absolutely beautiful. We spent 80% of our time at the cabin the view from the porch was breath taking not to high up but not at the bottom. Check in was smooth andGreat Cabins in the Smokies, LLC employee was so polite and made it a point to make sure we knew where we was going. This is the only cabin we will be staying at when we visit Tennessee! We had such a wonderful experience. -The Weyants

Ready to come back

We loved our stay at the cabin. Whoever cleans it does a fantastic job. Miss Ruby was was very nice on the phone and kept us updated before check-in. The driveway wasn't bad, I had fun driving up it. We were in a chevy Silverado. Google Maps took us straight to the cabin. I can't speak for any other GPS. Turning left into the driveway off the main road is not recommended, (coming from west) it's about a 135 degree turn. There's places you can turn around just a short way down the road. Thankfully the way to and from pigeon forge is the opposite way so it's a 45 degree turn to go up the driveway.

Best cabin yet!

My husband and I have been coming to the area for over 15 years, before we had kids. This was the best stocked, best privacy we’ve ever had! This is our first time staying over by Walden’s and I’m not sure what took us so long! The property manager was quick when we had a question and the view is amazing. We even had a nightly Bear visitor that liked to take the driveways down the mountain. We’ll be back!

Wonderful stay in our Tennessee cabin

Beautiful rustic cabin with breathtaking views. We will definitely come again. We enjoyed the hot tub on the back porch. It felt as if we were in a tree house. We just had to adapt to the windy steep roads as we are from flat Florida!

Overall pretty good

Overall we enjoyed our stay. There are a few things that would improve the experience. The beds feel about worn out and need to be replaced. Also the driveway to the cabin is rather tight so if you have an oversized vehicle, you may struggle. However the views were great, very clean cabin, amd its conveniently located that you feel secluded but arent too far from town.

Wonderful stay

We had a great long weekend at the cabin. It was super clean and stocked with everything we needed. We had a great night sleep in the main bedroom, which has a comfortable bed and pillows. Most of all, we loved spending time on the porch and taking in the view. Communication with the team was excellent. We hope to visit again someday!!

Great cabin great view

This cabin was better than advertised. I've stayed in VRBO rentals too many times to count and this rental is exceptional. They provide everything you need, it was very clean and sanitized. The management company was incredible. When I emailed with questions they were immediately responsive. They called to make sure I got the email and understood directions. They called again to let me know the cabin was ready early. I would absolutely stay here again

Beautiful views and a cozy home

This property is the perfect mix of remote and close to Pigeon Forge. We enjoyed how well-stocked the kitchen was (Keurig!) and there was plenty of bedding. The heat works well but on super cold nights we found it best to have a fire and keep the thermostat down so the upstairs wouldn’t be hot. Finding firewood for sale locally wasn’t a problem. The internet worked great and we had no issues using any of the tvs. All the furniture was comfortable and the couch bed worked great for the kids. Highly recommend for small families or couples.

Gorgeous setting

Beautiful view from a nicely appointed cabin. Great location for a week of hiking the Smoky Mountains and using the “hidden entrance” near Metcalf Bottoms. Avoided the long lines at restaurants by stocking the fridge and cooking at the cabin. Spent every night in the hot tub followed by family games and movies.

Great location

We really enjoyed the cabin and the view from the porch was awesome.. Loved sitting in the hot tub in the evenings and seeing the lights from other cabins in the hills. I've always been down here in June and July, was very nice coming in the fall not as busy and the color of the leaves were beautiful. The cabin was well stocked with everything you would need. I didn't want to come home i was having such fun at the cabin. Would recommend this cabin for sure. Hope to come back again soon. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin ! The location was very close to attractions.

About the host

Hosted by David & Perry Anne Scott

Host profile image
We purchased our cabin in 2011 and enjoyed getting it ready to use and to share. We named it “Walden’s View” to honor the incredible beauty of the Walden's Creek area in which it is located. We live in Atlanta and take every opportunity to come up to the cabin and make improvements, so it is always getting better. We want our guests to feel as delighted when they walk in as we do every time we arrive.

Why they chose this property

We love the mountains and our three kids love all the attractions in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We spent two years looking for just the right place! It is a blessing to leave the traffic of Atlanta behind and 'head for the hills'!

What makes this property unique

We love the National Park and Cades Cove, renting boats at Douglas Lake, and going into Pigeon Forge for attractions and dining. The best part is getting out of the city and into the quiet, peaceful surroundings of the mountains.
