Description

Spread out across 2,400+ square feet of space at the relaxing and fun Cali’s Place cabin! This cabin rental offers 4 bedrooms — plus a loft — 3 bathrooms, and space to sleep up to 10 guests in fun and beautiful Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Get ready for a great family vacation or a memorable weekend with friends in the Great Smoky Mountains. Enjoy mountain views, the conveniences of home, and lots of extras to make your stay extra special.

Take flat, paved roads to your Pigeon Forge cabin and park in a flat, paved, motorcycle-friendly driveway for a convenient start to your Smoky Mountain vacation. Then step inside where you can unwind in front of the gas fireplace on a cool mountain day with your pup by your side — because your cabin’s pet friendly! Flip on the big screen TV and relax, take advantage of the high-speed wireless internet in the cabin, or enjoy watching TV as you fall asleep at night.

Ready to play? This Smoky Mountain cabin rental has games and a media room to keep the group entertained. Break out the board games provided at the cabin, shoot pool together, or show off your skills on the arcade game! Then refuel with snacks and drinks made in the cabin’s fully equipped kitchen or go out for a meal at a local restaurant in downtown Pigeon Forge or neighboring Gatlinburg.

Outside, enjoy mountain views, fresh air, and relaxation. You can sit back in a rocking chair with a cup of coffee and look out over the views. Or you can climb into the outdoor hot tub and soak away those stresses after a long drive or a big day. Cali’s Place also has a gas grill for cookouts and a washer/dryer for your convenience! 

*Minimum age to rent is 25 years old.

*Propane is not provided at the cabin; guests should supply their own. 

Living Room
Riding mountain coasters, exploring The Mountain Mile, and visiting Dollywood for most of the day beckons time to relax at your cabin rental in Pigeon Forge. Come on in and lounge on the 2 sofas with reclining features. Grab snacks and drinks from the log coffee table as you like. And flip on the big screen TV for added entertainment while you unwind. On chillier evenings, light a fire in the gas fireplace to enjoy while sipping local wine from the Rocky Top Trail, chatting with your best friends, or reading a good book. 

During the day, this living room lets in tons of natural light through the towering windows that reach the ceiling. You’ll feel like you’re retreating in the treetops of the Smokies at this charming cabin. Best of all, you can see stunning views of the Great Smoky Mountains while kicking up your feet in this soothing, open-concept space. And if you’re warm, simply turn on the ceiling fan to keep comfortable. 

Kitchen
Craving a bite to eat? Grab fresh ingredients from the refrigerator, rinse fruits or veggies in the double sink, and pop a yummy recipe on the stove or in the oven. Prefer leftovers? Reheat your favs in the microwave. There’s also a coffeemaker for morning, midday, and evening brews as well as a dishwasher to help clean any messes. 

Yep, this fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to prep and cook meals at your Pigeon Forge cabin rental — including stainless steel appliances, pots and pans, ample counter space, plates, bowls, cutlery, glasses, and mugs! All you need to do is bring ingredients, snacks, and drink mixers from home or the nearest grocery store or farmers market in the area. Cali’s Place makes it easy to keep your family or group of friends fed and happy on your vacation in the mountains. 

Dining Area
Whether you order takeout or prepare a 4-course feast at your mountain cabin, the dining space is super convenient. The log table, matching chairs, antler chandelier, and plush area rug really add to the cool cabin vibes, and with large windows all around, you can enjoy scenic views of the Smokies while you dine. For additional seating space, spread into the living room or onto the lower level deck that features an outdoor table for 4. 

When you’ve taken your last bite of dessert and swig of coffee, clear the dining table for board games (fabulous selection provided in the loft) together. The space is handy for homeschooling the kiddos, checking work emails, or simply planning out the day’s activities in downtown Pigeon Forge. The dining area is also a nice spot for early morning risers to gather and chat before the day gets started. 

Media + Game Room
Lined with tall windows framing beautiful trees, rolling mountains, and skyline views, the media and game room is a fun space to hang out and chill at Cali’s Place. Plop on the large couch with a chaise to unwind and relax. Watch entertainment on the big screen TV while reaching for handfuls of buttery popcorn. Keep your favorite soda pop on the end table and flip on the warm lamp to cozy up the room. 

Surprise! There’s a full-size pool table plus an arcade console game at your Smoky Mountain cabin. You can play pool with a friend or take on the high arcade scores yourself. You can also follow the space onto the lower-level deck when you want some fresh mountain air. This level features a steamy hot tub, so you can have a party!

Bedrooms
Big yawns mean it’s time to slip away to your bedroom escape at this Pigeon Forge cabin rental in the Smokies. There are 4 bedrooms plus a loft so you can spread out and get comfortable for the night. Some of the bedrooms feature direct access to a deck, which is super nice in the mornings, and all 4 bedrooms feature a TV! Log furniture throughout enhances the classic cabin atmosphere, and you’ll find a mix of 2 king-size beds, 2 queen-size beds, and 1 twin-over-full bunk (in the loft). 

Enjoy a relaxing hot shower in one of 3 full bathrooms, change into your satin PJs, and get ready for sweet dreams in the mountains. Too excited to sleep? Looking forward to tomorrow’s plans at The Island? Flip on a bedside lamp and read your favorite blog, stay up and chat with your spouse for a while, or watch entertainment on your TV. 

Outdoor Spaces
Wrapping around the cabin — and featuring spectacular mountain views — is the main deck at Cali’s Place. There’s plenty of seating around the space, including classic mountain rockers, and even an outdoor ceiling fan to keep cool on warmer days in Pigeon Forge. Just below, you’ll find a second deck to take in the gorgeous scenery, with more seating, rockers, a pub table with stools, and a steamy hot tub! 

Come back from adventures in the national park or downtown Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg to relax on the decks. Fire up the gas grill for a mountain cookout, soak tired muscles in the soothing hot tub, and check out the heavenly mountain views for a spell — with your precious pup by your side. Also note this semi-private, motorcycle-friendly cabin in the Smokies boasts flat, paved roads to the cabin plus a flat, paved driveway with parking for 3 to make travel easier for YOU. 

*Propane is not provided at the cabin. Guests should supply their own for the grill.

Perfect size for are multi generation family from1-68 yo. Great location for all we wanted to do and layout of cabin gave us all privacy and plenty of space to hang out together. Appreciate kitchen stocked with nice stainless steel cookware and all kitchen appliances and utensils we needed.
Response from Cabins for You

Had a great time. The view is fantastic. Cabin is super nice. Kitchen is well stocked for meal prep. Google maps or the turn by turn directions provided will get you there.Apple maps not so much. The hot tub was also nice at the end of the day. If you’re going to gatlinburg it’s about a half hour. close enough to be convenient. Far enough to get away from it all.
Response from Cabins for You
It makes us genuinely happy to hear that you had such a great time and enjoyed the fantastic view, cozy cabin, and well-stocked kitchen. We truly appreciate you sharing helpful insight about navigation and are glad that the hot tub added the perfect relaxing touch to your stay after a full day out. It’s wonderful that the location gave you the right balance of convenience and peaceful escape. We hope to have you back soon, thank you.

Thanks so much for sharing this—it means a lot to us. It’s amazing to hear the cabin gave your family the space and peaceful mountain views you were hoping for. We truly love knowing it felt like the perfect getaway. Can’t wait to have you back next time!

The views were incredible, the house was so big and spacious with such a fun decor. There was plenty of room for the 6 of us to spread out. The bedrooms were all so comfy, the kids LOVED the media room with the big TV, video games and pool table. The adults appreciated the hot tub and amazing wrap around porches. We do wish we didn't have to bring our own TP and cleaning supplies but other than that it was amazing. The house is perfect!

Christmas Getaway

This is second time we have traveled for Christmas. Though Gatlinburg is busy, our stay at this cabin was perfect! We cooked as a family in the kitchen, loved the balconies, thoroughly used the hot tub (it was a cold week too), loved playing pool & arcade games, and we had space for our four families plus family celebrating Christmas with us. They had the cabin decorated for Christmas too! Also, there was plenty of kitchen ware which was super helpful. Every question or concern we had was promptly answered. We couldn’t have had a better stay. We even ended up getting snow on our last day of Christmas vacation. We were also able to fit five vehicles (all suvs and trucks).
Response from Cabins for You
We're so happy to hear that you and your family had such a wonderful Christmas getaway at our cabin, Lorena! It warms our hearts to know that you enjoyed the cozy atmosphere, the amenities, and the festive decorations. We're delighted that we could contribute to your memorable holiday experience, and we hope to welcome you all back again soon for more fun-filled moments together!

Beautiful View

This place had such a beautiful view. We enjoyed the cabin very much. The small yard to be able to walk the dogs for bathroom breaks was very convenient. Would stay again.
Response from Cabins for You

Wonderful Experience

This cabin is amazing. It’s super spacious so we never felt crowded. The floor to ceiling windows allowed us to have a spectacular view of the mountains! The drive up to the cabin is all paved which is great. There were other cabins around us but it didn’t feel like they were on top of each other and we still had privacy. There were several cute shops, wineries, and moonshine distilleries at the base of the mountain. There are plenty of blankets, pillows, space heaters and fans. The kitchen had baking dishes, dishwasher, blender, carafe and k cup coffee machine, and crockpots available, Only downsides were that the fireplace wouldn’t turn on and the Nintendo Switch that was advertised to be available in the cabin was not there.
Response from Cabins for You
Amy, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience at Cali's Place with us! We are thrilled to hear that you and your guests had an amazing time enjoying the stunning views, and convenient location of the cabin that was in close enough distance to everything that the Smokies has to offer! We truly value your feedback, and we would love to host your next adventure to the Smoky Mountains soon!

Amazing!

Inside and outside of the cabin was peaceful with gorgeous settings. The balconies had the most spectacular views. The kitchen was supplied with more than enough cooking/eating utensils. We had 8 adults and everyone had a place to sleep, sit, play and relax. This is a true place off the beaten path and in the mountains. Will do this again! Other cabin owners were very pleasant and love their bears. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay while in the area.

Great Place

This was a perfect place for us and a few friends to stay while we were in town for a wedding. The view is absolutely amazing, and the place is spacious, big, and clean. We even saw a bear close to the cabin when we first arrived.

Amazing experience for everyone!

The cabin was spotless upon our arrival. The kids absolutely enjoyed every aspect - the game room especially! It was nice to have the kids downstairs to play their music and games and not disturb the old folks upstairs. Really could not have asked for a more perfect vacation - thank you!

Much needed holiday for this family

The view, first off, took our breath away. We will book this rental everything we come from now on. This cabin checked all of our boxes. Cleanliness, peacefulness, comfort, luxury. Our family of 5 felt right at home and didn't want to leave.

Fantastic for families

We have stayed at a lot of different cabins around in this area, but Cali’s Place has the most amazing view of them all. We really enjoyed the tri level of this cabin as well. The kids could go downstairs or play in the loft and the grownups were able to enjoy time on the deck or on the main floor. A lot of cabins have horrible beds to sleep in, but we found all of the beds were very comfortable and everyone slept well. The guest relations was great too. We needed help with the internet for the kids gaming unit and extra towels and had no problem getting in touch & they immediately responded. We loved this place and will be booking it again next time we come to TN.
Response from Cabins for You
Holly, we're thrilled you and your family had a wonderful vacation here in the Smokies with us! We're so glad you all loved your cabin's perfect layout for everyone to enjoy all the wonderful amenities in their own designated space. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. We can't wait to serve you again on your next visit to the Smoky Mountains!

Perfect Family Getaway

Cali’s Place is perfect for a larger family or friend getaway! The views are absolutely amazing from most of the house. Everyone in our party of 9 had plenty of room and comfortable beds (no one sleeping on a pull-out sofa). We have stayed in other cabins in the area, but Cali’s Place is definitely the best!
Response from Cabins for You
Andrea, thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to know you and your family had a great time at Cali's Place, enjoying the breathtaking views of the Smokies and comfortable beds for a good night's sleep. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us, and we would love the opportunity to host you again soon!
