All wood interiors and rustic stone are complemented by dreamy natural lighting drifting in through the high loft window and soft breezes from the ceiling fan. Sink into the cozy suede sofa to kick your feet up on the leather ottomans while reading a good book or sharing cups of hot cocoa by the fire. Pack the kids’ favorite DVD movies to host cabin movie nights with screenings on the large flatscreen TV and big bowls of freshly popped popcorn from the microwave.
Relax in the plush reading chair by the window while uploading your favorite pictures from your hike to social media with your internet connected smart device. Play music on the CD player for background music while taking turns during hilarious bachelorette games and drinks with friends.
Kitchen
Whether it’s an easy snack or a delicious, multi-course meal, the charming fully loaded kitchen has all the tools and serving utensils, providing all the comforts of your own kitchen at home! Grab plates and glassware from the cupboards while a homemade casserole bakes in the oven or a stew warms on the stovetop to host an elegant dinner. Store dessert wine, sweet fudges, and leftovers in the full-size refrigerator and reheat those tasty meals in doggy bags in the microwave for a quick snack. Brew some fresh coffee to enjoy in the tranquility of the mountains.
Dining Room
Set the table for a fun family dinners or set up your favorite board game from home at the high-top wood dining table with room for 4 guests to enjoy an evening uninterrupted by any stresses from home. Settle in around the table to reconnect with friends over drinks while playing card games in the evenings and reconvene at the breakfast table in the morning to plan your day together over hot cups of coffee and maps of Pigeon Forge and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Bedrooms
Crawl under the covers of the cozy king-size bed before drifting off into restful nights of sleep and revel in the peaceful mornings with lush wooded views resting through the bedroom window. Really make yourselves at home by unpacking suitcases in the dresser and closet and wrap up any leftover work emails in the soft light of the bedside table lamp. Kick back on the bed with your own TV shows on the flatscreen while the kids watch their movies in the living room on laid-back afternoons in the cabin.
In the loft, the twin bunk rests near its own lovely wooded views through the windows and easy bathroom access on the same level. Additional guests can enjoy restful nights on a full sleeper sofa where they can drift off into their dreams after enjoying a warm evening by the fire.
Rec Room
Looking for some entertainment without leaving the cabin? Head upstairs to the loft rec room where a gorgeous log pool table and dart board serve as your own private pool hall in the cabin. Sip on ice cold drinks while playing a few rounds of 8-ball and throwing darts with friends. Teach your teens a few trick shots on the pool table before leaving to play arcade games at LazerPort Fun Center.
Outdoor Amenities
Sip on an ice-cold drink on the front porch in the artisan rocking chairs while waiting for friends to arrive to Big Chill for a fun mountain getaway with friends. Get the coals hot on the large smoker-style grill before throwing on steaks and other cookout favorites while enjoying the perfect mild climates of the Smoky Mountains. Shrouded by evergreen, hemlock, and hardwood forestry, savor every warm sip of your morning coffee on the back deck while birds sing and soft breezes soothe your soul. At the end of an exciting day of hunting and fishing in the Smokies, unwind before bed in the bubbling outdoor hot tub with soothing jets to massage tired feet.

"After a 10 hour drive to get to the cabin we were greeted with a door that would not open. Trying to call the number given but unfortunately we couldn't pick up cell service until we got in our car and drove down the road. Apparently, the wrong code was given. After 45 minutes, trying to get into the cabin we finally opened the door.........Wow!! Every bit of troubles drifted away. What a beautiful cabin!! So clean and inviting!! We stayed for 6 nights and even though there were cabins around us, we would never known. It was very secluded. Perfect location to all the tourist interest, as well as the hiking trails. I would definitely recommend to stay at this cabin. Thank you for the wonderful time."

"The cabin was cozy and very close to the main strip in Pigeon Forge. I really have no complaints. The only thing I was uneasy about was that none of the smoke detectors worked. Aside from that, every thing was great. Even the fat raccoon that came out at night to eat hotdogs. The kids named him Roger."
