Designed for up to 8 guests, this 3-bedroom Tennessee cabin has a private bedroom and full bathroom on each level, giving families and groups plenty of room to gather while still having their own space to recharge. Whether you are planning a family vacation, a mountain getaway with friends, or a tournament weekend at Rocky Top Sports World, the layout makes it easy to settle in and enjoy the Smokies.
Spend the day exploring things to do in Gatlinburg, hiking the trails of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, or making the short drive to Pigeon Forge for Dollywood, shopping, dining, and attractions along the Parkway. When you return, soak in the private hot tub on the covered lower patio, gather around the firepit beneath the trees, play Pac-Man downstairs, or slow down on the covered deck with a porch swing and rocking chairs.

Cabin Highlights
Living Room
Gather on the main level beneath the soaring cathedral pine ceiling and warm log cabin interior. Comfortable seating, a large flat-screen TV, and an open layout give everyone an easy place to unwind after hiking in the Smokies, exploring Gatlinburg, or spending the day in Pigeon Forge.
The leather sofa converts into a queen sleeper for 2 additional guests, while recliner armchairs provide extra seating for movie nights, board games, or quiet evenings at the cabin. The living room also connects directly to the kitchen and covered front deck.
Kitchen and Dining
The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare everything from a quick breakfast before heading into downtown Gatlinburg to a full dinner after a day of hiking trails, sightseeing, or exploring Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
A handcrafted tile-top island with a stone base adds rustic character and extra prep space, while barstool seating gives guests another place to gather. The open layout keeps the kitchen connected to the living area, so whoever is cooking can still be part of the conversation.

Every bedroom includes a flat-screen TV, and the living room also has a TV. A queen sleeper sofa in the main living area provides additional sleeping space for 2 guests, bringing the cabin's maximum occupancy to 8.
The washer and dryer are located on the lower level for convenient mid-stay laundry.

The gravel courtyard includes a firepit surrounded by Adirondack chairs, perfect for cooler evenings and nights spent outside. Cornhole and giant outdoor checkers add a little friendly competition, while the charcoal grill and picnic table make casual cookouts simple.
