Description

Enjoy a romantic getaway or a fun and spontaneous trip with the family to the Great Smoky Mountains at A Mountain Surprise. This cozy cabin rental features a screened-in porch with an outdoor hot tub, flatscreen TVs with DVD players, an indoor jetted tub in the master suite, and a fully equipped kitchen with stainless-steel appliances. Accommodating up to 4 guests, this cozy log cabin in Pigeon Forge is a great place to unwind on the sofa with a comedy classic on the big screen TV, read a thrilling novel in the armchair by the fireplace, and reconnect with nature on the porch swing. Whether you’re keen for a bit of romance or simply wish to get away from everyday life, Smoky Mountain memories are sure to be made at this welcoming vacation rental.

Outfitted with the comforts of home, relaxing spaces, fun amenities, and lots of conveniences (including Wi-Fi), this modern yet cozy hideaway is the perfect cabin for a classic mountain experience. Brew coffee to start your day, sit down for meals together at the dining table, sip cocoa by the wood-burning fireplace, and enjoy a slower pace of life in the mountains.

Living Room
Drop your suitcases by the door and make your way to the welcoming living room in A Mountain Surprise. Have a nap on the sofa, flip on the big screen TV to watch a movie or show, and pile snacks and drinks on the coffee table. There is a DVD player for movie nights, and the nearby kitchen makes it easy to grab drinks or make popcorn.

At night, get a toasty fire going in the wood-burning fireplace…paired with a good book in the armchair — what could be better? In the early-morning hours, watch TV as you wake up on the sleeper sofa. When the sun heats things up during the day, turn on the ceiling fan to keep things cool.

Kitchen
The fully equipped kitchen is a few steps from the living area and features stainless steel appliances for all your cooking needs! Store fresh veggies in the refrigerator, rinse fruit in the double sink, keep ice cream in the freezer, fry bacon and eggs on the stove, bake homemade biscuits in the oven, and pop popcorn in the microwave.

There is also a blender for milkshakes and smoothies, a toaster for toast and bagels, and a coffeemaker to brew your favorite blends. Bountiful breakfasts, lavish lunches, delectable dinners, and midnight snacks await!

Dining Area
Easily serve up tasty dishes in the open dining area, only steps away from the kitchen. Boasting a wooden table for 4 with cushioned seats and a lovely chandelier overhead, this cozy space helps bring everyone comfortably together for mealtimes. Chat about the outdoor activities experienced in town, discuss exciting plans for tomorrow, and simply enjoy each other’s company — all while enjoying a delicious meal at the table.

Bedroom
Open the wooden French doors to the king-size master suite in this 1-bedroom cabin — complete with a mounted flatscreen TV, DVD player, and an indoor jetted tub (bordered by beautiful stacked stones) in the en-suite bathroom! Spend mornings lounging in bed with your spouse, afternoons napping in peace, evenings soaking in a bubble bath, and nights cuddled up for a film. There are even 2 stained-glass windows that enjoy dancing with light and color throughout the day. Plus, a large vanity and mirror in the en-suite bath make getting ready for the day’s activities a breeze.

Outdoor Spaces
This charming vacation home in the Smokies features wooded views all around and 2 dreamy outdoor spaces. Step onto the covered deck for a turn in the porch swing or rocking chairs — a cup of joe pairs really well with the morning tunes of nature.

For lunch, whip up a barbecue feast on the gas grill and dine at the table for 2 (with cushioned seats) on the screened-in porch. When dusk approaches, change into your swimsuit for a relaxing soak in the outdoor hot tub (also on the screened-in porch). Should things get a bit too warm, simply flip on the convenient ceiling fan overhead. And you can have your dog at your feet at your pet-friendly cabin.

Other Amenities
Keep clothes fresh for nights out and clean after long days of hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park with the provided washer and dryer. Connect with friends back home in a flash with the complimentary high-speed internet on your Pigeon Forge vacation. The best part about this Smoky Mountain cabin? Your dog can come, too! A Mountain Surprise is a pet-friendly Pigeon Forge cabin rental, making it the perfect place to bring along your furry friend. Looking forward to a Christmas vacation? Enjoy opening presents with your family in the Smokies at this fully decorated cabin! You will even have keyless entry, so you don’t have to worry with an office for check-in.

Local Fun
While staying at this Tennessee cabin is certainly an option (and easy to do), don’t be afraid to step into downtown Pigeon Forge for a bit of excitement, shopping, dining, and more! You’ll find miniature golf courses, game rooms, laser tag arenas, go-kart tracks, wineries and distilleries, unique attractions, shops, art galleries, and so much more.

Pigeon Forge is home to Dollywood theme park, The Island, The Old Mill, the Tanger Outlets (in Sevierville), and many more attractions for your family vacation. In Gatlinburg, take in mountain views in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, stroll along the Parkway, enjoy amazing views at Ober Gatlinburg, play arcade games at game rooms, try ziplines, and find plenty of fun for the whole family! You’ll never be bored on your Smoky Mountain vacation!

Yesterday’s Antiques and Collectibles
Find an heirloom to pass down, choose a statement piece for your living room, or simply enjoy a casual browse at Yesterday’s Antiques.

Coaster at Goats on the Roof
Meet a few friendly faces (aka adorable goats) on the roof while soaring down the mountain at the Coaster at Goats on the Roof! It’s a unique attraction for your mountain getaway.

The Island
For a full day of fun, walk around The Island, stopping at every shop, snacking at every restaurant, hopping on every ride, and enjoying beautiful views!

The stay was super i love stay at the Mountain Surprise cabin

Very nice little 1 bedroom in the woods. The steep driveway was a little intimidating at first but by then end of the stay it was no problem. Very clean and very cozy spot.

Great cabin for a couple or single. Doggie friendly & a quiet location. The screened in porch was great. The decorations were cute. The location was great for us. It is close to the shops & restaurants, not too far out like so many other cabins. The road to the cabin is steep, but want a big deal. It should not be an issue unless it’s icy. Cons: The shower was extremely slick. We had to buy a bathmat. The cleaning service did not leave any washcloths. The sign for the cabin, with the name, was hidden by weeds. The sign was big, but the name of the cabin was very small at the bottom. We drove past it the first time.
Response from Cabins for You
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the cozy cabin, screened porch, convenient location, and that it was a great fit for you and your pup. We also appreciate your feedback about the shower, washcloths, and cabin sign—these are all helpful suggestions, and we'll be sure to share them with our team. We hope to welcome you back for another relaxing stay!

Response from Cabins for You
Zachary, thank you for staying with us and for the kind review. We're glad the cabin felt clean and cozy and that the steep driveway became easier by the end of your stay. We’d love to host you again—please come back anytime.
Thank you,

i dont feel its worth what we paid due to many reasons like for starters the yard had trash all in it, the fireplace was unusable which was a big bummer, wifi didnt work the whole trip, MINIMAL amount of towles and wash cloths. when youre on vacation you dont expect to stock the house of simple needs like toilet paper & do laundry to keep up with fresh linens.
fridge light was broken... floors were just bad. just needs some tlc...
Response from Cabins for You
We genuinely appreciate you sharing this feedback and thoughtfully taking the time to explain where your stay fell short. We sincerely understand how disappointing it can feel when simple comforts like a clean yard, a working fireplace, reliable WiFi, and adequate linens don’t meet expectations, and we’re truly sorry that happened. We are attentively reviewing these concerns so the home receives the care and attention it deserves moving forward. We hope to have you back soon thank you

The bed frame broke and woke us up and as soon as we messaged Cabins for You someone was over within 3 hours to fully replace the bed frame.

The place was perfect for the two of us ! We only really had problems with the wifi cutting out in the TV (but you’re in the mountains so that’s to be expected) and with the door code during check in. After we called they were super helpful and gave us a new code. Everything else was perfect!
Response from Cabins for You
We really appreciate you sharing your experience and are glad we could quickly sort out the door code issue for you. It’s great to hear the place suited you both perfectly, even with the wifi quirks out in the mountains. We understand how those little bumps can be frustrating, but we’re happy everything else went smoothly. Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us — we’d love to welcome you back on your next vacation soon!

The WiFi only works if you’re in the living room and sometimes even the living room tv isn’t watchable because the WiFi wouldn’t connect even in there. This is an issue that needs fixed considering there wasn’t any cell service at the cabin. The bathroom it’s self is rather small, and the washer/dryer is dorm room size if that big.
Response from Cabins for You
We’re truly sorry you faced such unreliable WiFi and cramped amenities during your cabin getaway. That level of connectivity should never be this spotty, especially without cell service nearby, and the bathroom and laundry size fell far below expectations. We wish we had known about these issues while you were still here so we could have promptly remedied them. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this caused. We’re deeply disappointed this trip didn’t meet the relaxed escape you deserved. We regret this was your experience and appreciate your feedback as we work to upgrade our WiFi and appliances.

Pleasant

Beautiful Layout WiFi wouldn’t work and we couldn’t watch tv and signal was horrible
February 15, 2025
Roberto
The cabins have an excellent location, the Internet was very bad so we couldn't watch TV, with the privacy we thought we wouldn't share with another cabin until Google lied to us, the bed was comfortable but the sheets were a bit old and the other pillowcases were missing, no extra sheets for the sofa bed either. No paper toilet extra. They should make the cabin more familiar, not much to do in it. The attention the first day when we needed to open the door was very good and the cabin was very clean. thank you.
Response from Cabins for You
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the clean cabin, comfortable bed, and the prompt attention on your first day. Your feedback about the amenities is appreciated, and we’ll use it to make future stays even better.

Wonderful

The cabin is absolutely beautiful! Had everything we needed with a gorgeous view The only downfall had nothing to do with the cabin, but we had no idea that there was a droppedenuf car show in the area and it was so congested and loud that we could barely enjoy ourselves. As for the cabin and facilities, top notch. We will most definitely stay again!

We had a great time during our stay here and would absolutely recommend it to others. It’s in a great location, easy to get to and only a few minutes from the main road in pigeon forge. Only things I would note are that the main road to the cabin including the shared driveway are a bit steep (but you’re going to a cabin in the mountains so it’s expected). The shower is on the smaller side but functions and doesn’t take away from the cabin overall. The WiFi worked only on our laptops (but wasn’t the best, again in the mountains so can be expected), we could not get it to work on our iPhones so if you require WiFi to work on your stay just keep that in mind. Overall a good stay and would consider staying again if we returned!
Response from Cabins for You
Thank you so much for your kind words and helpful feedback! We're genuinely happy you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your understanding about the mountain setting and WiFi challenges. Your suggestions are invaluable, and we're glad they didn't detract from your overall experience. We hope to welcome you back soon!

Upon arrival the door code wasn’t working but with a quick phone call, customer service was super nice and got us a new code over the phone. It was very clean. The hot tub was clean too. Super quiet. We would definitely stay again.
Response from Cabins for You
It's wonderful to hear that despite the initial hiccup with the door code, you had a pleasant stay with us. We appreciate your kind words about our customer service and the cleanliness of our facilities. We're looking forward to welcoming you back for another peaceful retreat, Allison!

Had an excellent time in pigeon forge and this cabin definitely exceeded my expectations

The cabin was super clean and organized upon arrival. Super comfortable, AC worked great, cool balcony, hot tub was clean and ready for use, loved sitting in the sunroom while it rained. Driveway was a little scary but my fwd VW did fine.

Katie
Really enjoyed our stay! Nice cozy cabin, we brought our dogs and they loved the screened in porch which was super nice when it rained to sit in the hot tub and watch the rain. The grill was also on the covered screened in porch so we cooked a lot of meals! Would definitely recommend staying here. Cabins for you was also super helpful and checked in with us for the first 3 days to make sure we didn’t have any issues
Response from Cabins for You
Katie, we are elated to know you enjoyed your stay. We are happy to know you were able to bring the fur babies along to enjoy the cozy getaway as well. We are glad that we were able to provide the memorable stay deserved. Please come back to visit us soon!

Nancy
Very well prepared property. During our stay a winter storm blew out the porch door screen. They responded within a very short period of time to address the problem. We especially enjoyed the wood burning fireplace and the Christmas tree that was present when we arrived We experienced a power outage because of the storm but were actually warned by the rental company a few hours before that it was a possibility due to conditions in the area We found them to be very helpful and would rent again from Cabins for you
Response from Cabins for You
Nancy, Thank you for the 5-star rating! We appreciate your understanding during the winter storm and apologize for any inconvenience that occurred. We will be sure to send the concerns you have brought to our attention to the proper departments. We look forward to hosting you again in the future!

Great place, tucked away in the hills. The cabin was as advertised. Drive in during the day because the driveways are steep.

Nice getaway

The cabin was a nice quaint property. Closely located to Pigeon Forge. Cabin provided for a quiet location where we could watch local wildlife and enjoy our cup of coffee and glass of wine on the front porch or in the hot tub. The WiFi is extremely slow and basically non-existent which could be good in a way. Especially when trying to disconnect from work, however, would have been helpful when wanting to share your experiences with family and friends.
Response from Cabins for You
Jason, we truly appreciate your feedback regarding A Mountain Surprise. We are so glad to hear that you were able to enjoy the amenities, the location, and even the sighting of wildlife! Thank you so much for your review and we hope to host you again in the future!

Jeanie
Very cute cabin and accurately described. Our stay was very quiet and peaceful and we enjoyed it immensely. The location was close to the joyful chaos of Pigeon Forge but removed enough to preserve the peace and quiet of the natural setting. I would highly recommend it.
Response from Cabins for You
We're thrilled to hear that you had such a peaceful, enjoyable stay at A Mountain Surprise! We're so glad you found the location to be conveniently situated. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to see you again soon!
