Step back in time at A Secret Romance, where nestled in the mountains, you can enjoy a cozy cabin with soaring ceilings over an open living space, complete with a screened-in porch and your own private hot tub. You’ll be minutes away from all the fun and adventure that Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg have to offer, but your private cabin rental will make you feel right at home. A Secret Romance is located at the end of a quiet road and provides privacy along with a peaceful place to relax and recharge.
This 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom cabin includes everything you’ll need for your stay in the Smokies. A fully equipped kitchen will allow you to cook your own meals—maybe a hearty breakfast before a day of exploring or a nice, easy dinner to end the day. Enjoy these meals or a game of cards or Scrabble at the dining table, which seats up to 4 comfortably, or outside on the back porch. Take some time to listen to the evening crickets out on the front porch swing, and end your day with a relaxing soak in the hot tub or in your own private jetted primary bath tub before slipping into bed for a restful night of sleep. It’s the perfect place for a couple's vacation.
One of the most impressive times of the year in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg is during the fall season, when the landscape comes to life as the leaves change to vibrant reds, yellows, and oranges. At A Secret Romance, you will be surrounded by beautiful woods and valleys, so you can enjoy viewing the autumn colors at their finest. You might catch a family of deer or some turkeys enjoying the woods as well!
Living Room
A Secret Romance provides a special place to unwind, kick back, and enjoy a movie on the TV with DVD player. In cooler months, a fire in the stone fireplace will add an even cozier element to an already-cozy room. The leather couch and chair provide comfortable resting places, and the spacious coffee table has room for snacks, games, or reading material. A second-level sky window adds additional natural lighting to the room, which is open to the dining and kitchen areas. The rustic feel of this cabin and its cozy interior make it a perfect romantic place to slip away for honeymooners or just anyone searching for a nice, secluded weekend in the mountains.
Kitchen
Fully equipped with a dishwasher, stove, microwave, and full-size refrigerator, this kitchen will feel like home. Punched-tin cabinet facing adds a unique rustic-country look to the space. Wooded views out the windows will remind you that you’re in your sweet Smoky Mountain home while you whip up a meal. Or, if you would like to avoid the grocery store, call ahead of time and add a romantic meal for 2 from our list of special cabin rental add-ons. We will stock the refrigerator for you so all you have to worry about is cooking the food. If you don’t feel like cooking, venture out to one of Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg’s fantastic nearby restaurants. There are unique choices in every price range, from Chinese to American to Italian and, of course, that good old Southern comfort food. And don’t miss a stop at one of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg’s famous pancake houses for a comforting breakfast before hitting the road…or the trails.
Dining Area
Surrounded by windows, the dining area holds a wooden table and chairs, enough to seat up to 4 people. Enjoy your coffee here as the sun rises over the mountains, or use the space for a card or board game, or just for a nice meal together in the coziness of A Secret Romance. For an extra special treat, bring your loved one a bouquet of flowers to place on the table or have Cabins for YOU do the work for you. We will add such specialties to your rental as a dozen roses or a bouquet of wildflowers on the table for arrival. It’s a special touch added to an already special vacation!
Primary Bedroom
The primary bedroom just off the living room holds a king-size bed, chest of drawers, and additional closet space. A flatscreen TV hangs in perfect view for cozying up to watch a favorite movie or do a little channel surfing. A sink and large jetted tub are located in the corner of the room, lending to the romance and relaxation you’re sure to enjoy at this cabin rental. Access to the exterior porches is located off the primary bedroom, so you can easily venture out for morning coffee or a breath of fresh air. Call ahead and ask for a special treat for your secret romance—we will set up your jetted tub with roses, candles, bubble bath, cider, and love dust. All you have to do is run the water and enjoy.
Outdoor Spaces
A covered hot tub (with stairs), table with chairs, and gas grill are located on the screened-in back porch. You’ll enjoy your evenings here with a glass of wine or just letting yourself rest in the peace of the mountains. Spend some time rocking on the front porch in one of two rocking chairs, or swinging on the porch swing.
A Secret Romance is surrounded by woods, so you’ll feel as though you have stepped back in time to a simpler, quieter place. The privacy and peacefulness of this cabin is unbeatable. Step outside, take advantage of staying in the splendor of the Smoky Mountains, breathe in the fresh air, and let your troubles melt away.
At A Secret Romance, you will feel secluded while still being conveniently located within a short drive of many great attractions.
