Almost Heaven-Dream Smoky Mountain Retreat-VIEWS! GUEST FAVORITE!

Almost Heaven! 5 Star VIEWS of the Great Smoky Mountains and front row indescribably views of MT. LeConte. 3 Bedroom luxury log cabin, 5 minutes to Gatlinburg

This beautiful luxury log cabin has one of the most GORGEOUS VIEWS in all of the Smoky Mountains. Guaranteed to take your breath away every morning. You’ll have a front row seat to see MAJESTIC Mt. LeConte long range 180 degree views and almost nothing but green or colors of the fall from the back decks, with no rooftops below to get in the way of the serene setting. Our cabin is on a ridge up a well kept street in the heart of the The Arts and Crafts District. This cabin has a COVETED LOCATION with easy road access and plenty of level parking while only 5 minutes from all the restaurants and activities in Gatlinburg. While the views are incredible, the cabin is meticulously maintained and furnished with high end touches and will equally stun you upon entering the cabin. We hope to provide a little touch of heaven here at the cabin for you, your family and guests.

As of 11/5/24, we have added a queen over queen bunk bed to allow accomodations up to 8 guests! Pictures will be uploaded once the new bed is installed.

WHY CHOOSE OUR MOUNTAIN PARADISE? Let’s count all the ways…

Imagine driving a gentle winding road up to your cabin in the mountains. Not a big subdivision with a lot of noise and people….just peacefully among nature. Your morning view consists of BREATHTAKING VIEWS OF ICONIC MOUNT LECONTE to begin the day, and is awe inspiring in the evening vista watching the smoke roll through the mountains. DIRECT MOUNTAIN FRONT VIEW with the Smoky Mountains literally in your backyard. Over 900 sq. feet of decks for your viewing pleasure with two levels of covered decking. The “Smoky Mountain Dream Retreat” is an ideal location with 1,884 sq feet of living space with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and OPEN CONCEPT living; easily accessible to Downtown Gatlinburg but nestled in a classic mountain scene and atmosphere. But the location is just the beginning of the many bonuses you will enjoy!

As you approach the front door, your eyes will be mesmerized by the incredible direct views of Mt. LeConte off the deck, before you even ever enter the cabin. We love this cabin because it affords a place to just ‘chill’ without the distractions of too much interference of the ‘stuff’ that complicates our lives.

As you enter the cabin you step into a spacious but cozy living area with high quality furniture to sit and chat with your friends and family; you will immediately notice the difference from other cabins in the area. There’s a Sony smart TV in the living area, equipped with cable TV, Netflix, a Sony Sound Bar and plenty of opportunity for entertainment in the evenings while sitting by the fireplace. Just beyond the living area is a spacious dining area equipped with all the comforts of home. If you enjoy cooking a quick meal or even a memorable family feast, we’ve tried to anticipate your every need. A large grocery store is just three minutes away, and there are a variety of restaurants within five minutes.

Open the blinds of the first level and you can see ‘forever’, or just step out onto the covered deck and have a seat in one of the rocking chairs to get lost in the beauty of The Smokies and the serenity of the cabin. Or share a lunch at the outside table set overlooking the mountains.

INDULGE in AUTHENTIC MOUNTAIN AMBIANCE with Exquisite Décor rarely seen in other cabins- original art work and designer rugs, luxury furniture, true log cabin boosting a massive 20 foot cathedral ceiling. In creating this genuine mountain experience, we have kept your comfort in mind with cozy throws to curl up, plush beds and all the small but thoughtful details. Also on the first level are two bedrooms furnished with very posh and high quality bedroom sets, pillow top mattresses, high quality pillows and luxurious bedding. There is a spacious full bath with a walk in shower and dual sinks also on the first level. A separate washer/dryer closet is also available for your convenience.

The upstairs quickly gets your attention with a massive 20 foot cathedral ceiling with beautifully stained interior and boasts a beautifully decorated media area encircled by a gorgeous leather sectional and large comfy ottoman with room for everyone to kick back. The room includes a 65” Sony HD 4k Smart TV, Sony Sound Bar, Netflix, and so many additional features. There’s also a high end shuffle board table as well as bar height game/puzzle table with six bar height chairs. The cabin’s cable service provides the fastest internet in Gatlinburg with a top of the line 5G wireless router to connect all your devices to while you’re enjoying your stay.

Just outside the media room is another gathering spot with an even more impressive vista. This is where we’ve placed the hot tub; up high and private to take in the starry nights or the daytime mountain breeze. If you prefer, you can just sit on the porch swing up there and let the time pass while you read a book, think, or just enjoy creation. The hot tub is emptied and sanitized after every guest.

The upstairs King Suite is decorated exquisitely and is especially spacious with an attached bathroom with walk in shower. You’ll be in awe of the high ceiling in this room and the beauty of the pine logs and wood that wrap this restful area and every room in this cabin.

Expensive area rugs enhance the solid wood floors throughout the cabin. This is not your normal rental cabin’ we want you to be pampered and so impressed that you’ll want to stay nowhere else whenever you come back to Gatlinburg. From the custom artwork to the high quality furniture and bedroom furnishings, we are sure that you’ll love your stay. Everything is clean, neat, and the high quality you deserve for your vacation.

We’ve tried to provide an environment for an amazing getaway- your home away from home! The best of locations and a wonderful cabin in which to enjoy your time. You’ll fall in love with this cabin and we hope to host you year after year. Come stay where “Almost Heaven” will leave you in amazement of the Great Smoky Mountains.

All the details

We loved our stay! The view from the porch is beautiful! The owners have thought of all the little details in their home- complete with novels to enjoy on the back deck. There are several games to enjoy. The kitchen is well stocked. All the beds are comfortable and the furniture is good quality and nice to sit in. It is an easy 5 minute drive into Gatlinburg. The owners were very easy to communicate with and answered any questions we had promptly. We really enjoyed our stay here and would 10/10 recommend!!

Just Perfect

I have stayed in this cabin before and when it sold the new owners reached out to let us know it would be available on VRBO again. We booked it for a week. We were able to witness the beauty of this mountain view. We will be back. Charles reached out to make sure everything went well and it did. The cabin is just a few minutes from town and overlooks the Smokey Mountains. Absolutely perfect location and the cabin is a dream cabin. Everything we wanted and more. We got to see the Fall colors and we saw several bears from the porch make sure everything went well, it did

"Almost Heaven" says it all!

Checking was a breeze. The property manager made sure you had everything you needed and gave clear accurate instructions. The cabin was simply charming and spotless. Ending each day in the balcony hot tub looking out at the mountain views was my favorite part. Would definitely recommend this cabin ..it doesn't disappoint.

We loved everything about this cabin! Beautiful, clean, inviting cabin that was well-stocked with anything we would need for the week. Owners were very easy to reach and were so kind (only had a question prior to check-in, no problems with the cabin). We also loved that the property was only a few minutes from town so we could easily come and go without issues. The view (especially from the hot tub on the balcony!) was PERFECTION!
