Living Room
After exploring the Rocky Top Wine Trail, riding horses in Cades Cove, or shopping at The Island and The Old Mill, return to your secluded cabin in the trees of Pigeon Forge to unwind. Wood floors, walls, and beautiful exposed beams beckon you into the cozy living room. Adding to your log cabin experience are the large windows with tree-studded views and the stacked stone gas fireplace.

Lounge on the sofa with drinks and snacks on the coffee table and press play on the big screen TV to enjoy entertainment while you nosh and chat. A recliner welcomes you to nap anytime or finally finish that book you’ve been meaning to read next to a crackling fire on cooler evenings in the Smoky Mountains. A ceiling fan keeps the space cool in warmer months, and the sofa unfolds into a full-size sleeper. You’ll also find a 2-seater arcade game here — designed so two guests can play head-to-head from either end for classic gaming fun!

Kitchen
Ready to dine at your Pigeon Forge cabin in the Smokies? Outfitted with granite countertops, black appliances, a stone backsplash, and blue cupboards, the fully equipped kitchen invites you to cook up a storm, grab snacks anytime, and mix midnight cocktails. Pots, pans, plates, bowls, cooking utensils, cutlery, glasses, and mugs are provided so you can pack light. And there’s a coffeemaker that brews both single cups and pots — super convenient on your Smoky Mountain vacation!

Dining Area
Whether reconnecting with family or celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or even Cinco de Mayo in the Smokies, you’ll appreciate a dining space to enjoy mealtimes together at your cabin rental in Pigeon Forge, TN. This log table centers the kitchen and is open to the living room to keep everyone connected and comfortable. There’s room for everyone in your party to sit down and enjoy wining, dining, and playing board games on your mountain getaway.

Bedrooms
Dream sweetly at your 2-bedroom cabin in Pigeon Forge. Each bedroom offers direct access to the deck, a king-size bed, log furnishings, a ceiling fan, a TV, and an en-suite bathroom with an indoor jetted tub! They are also located on opposite sides of the living room for added privacy. Soothe tired muscles in a rejuvenating bubble bath, slip into your PJs, and curl up for a good night’s sleep every night.

Additional guests can sleep on the full-size sleeper sofa in the living room…which means they’ll have access to the big screen TV all night!

Outdoor Spaces
When you’re not kayaking the Little Pigeon River, zorbing around Outdoor Gravity Park in downtown Pigeon Forge, or venturing into the Forbidden Caverns, enjoy the fresh mountain air at your Pigeon Forge cabin rental. From the inviting deck, you can spot Webb Mountain year-round, and this secluded log cabin is surrounded by lofty trees — especially colorful in fall.

Plus, there are hiking trails throughout this 7-acre property, so you can experience even more of what the Smokies has to offer just steps outside. Between trekking trails and snapping photos of wildlife, sit back in the rockers with a glass of wine, hit the bullseye on the electric dartboard, or kick back in the Nordic Retreat hot tub for a spell. There’s also a gas grill and picnic table for mountain cookouts at your Pigeon Forge hideaway.

To note for travel, the gravel driveway is large, flat, and circular, with parking for 4. And there are only 4 steps up to the front porch, which means easier unloading and loading of the cars during your stay.

Other Amenities
This vacation rental offers high-speed Wi-Fi, ideal for posting on social media, keeping up with work, or browsing homeschool discounts in Pigeon Forge. There’s a washer and dryer so you can reuse towels and wash clothes as needed. And keyless entry lets you check in and out right at the property!

Local Fun
Tucked into the peaceful forest away from the hustle and bustle, Dancing Bear is only 13 miles from the heart of Pigeon Forge and only a few more from downtown Gatlinburg — meaning you’ll have access to double the fun along the Parkway!

Plus, you can pop over to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park to hike waterfall trails, spot white-tailed deer on scenic drives, fly fish for rainbow trout, picnic by a river, or ride horses.
