Poppy Bill's Retreat

Planning a large group retreat in the Smokies? Set in the peaceful For By Grace community in East Tennessee, this luxury cabin keeps you close enough to the Parkway — just 8 miles from downtown Pigeon Forge — while surrounding you with the natural beauty of the Smoky Mountains. Spend your days exploring the national park, sampling local flavors, or enjoying live shows, then come home to swim in your private indoor pool, hang out in the rec room, share meals around long tables, and laugh late into the night under twinkling lights at the outdoor pavilion.

This 4,800-square-foot Pigeon Forge cabin with a pool delivers the space, fun, and comforts you’ve been searching for, including private king suites, spacious queen bunk rooms, a full kitchen, and multiple covered decks with tree-studded vistas. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone birthday, planning a church retreat, hosting a family reunion, or gathering friends for a holiday, Poppy Bill’s Retreat gives your group the perfect place to reconnect with a variety of amenities.

Living Room
A spacious yet cozy hub where everyone naturally gathers, the living room sets the tone for your group’s getaway. A heated electric fireplace adds warmth on chilly evenings, while a big screen TV makes movie marathons and game days extra fun. Plush sofas and armchairs provide ample seating, and a picture window frames the wooded exterior, creating a serene mountain backdrop.

This space is perfect for casual coffee mornings before having a blast at Dollywood, storytelling sessions after a day of hiking trails in the Great Smoky Mountains, or winding down with a glass of Appalachian wine. With such a welcoming setup, it’s easy to see why the living room becomes the heart of your group retreat.

Kitchen
Cooking for a crowd doesn’t have to be stressful when you’ve got a fully equipped kitchen at your disposal. Stainless steel appliances, stone counters, and a large island with barstools make prep and serving seamless at your Smoky Mountain vacation home. The dual coffeemaker is ready for both single cups and full pots of brew, while the double sink with a window ensures even cleanup comes with a view.

Bright and open, the kitchen keeps everyone together — whether you’re whipping up pancake breakfasts, prepping snacks for the pool, or dishing out holiday spreads. It’s designed to handle group meals with ease while keeping the atmosphere light and inviting.

Dining Area
Meals are a cornerstone of any group getaway, and this Pigeon Forge cabin rental makes sure no one feels left out. Two beautiful wooden tables seat up to 8 guests each, and with the island barstools, living room seating, and outdoor chairs on the decks, your entire group can gather to eat, celebrate, and make memories.

Whether you’re carving turkey for a Thanksgiving in Pigeon Forge, hosting a birthday dinner, or simply ordering takeout from local eateries, this space makes dining together a joy. After dinner, clear the table for board games, puzzles, or group planning sessions for the next day’s adventures.

Private Indoor Pool
This Smoky Mountain cabin’s showstopper is the private indoor pool, where fun happens in every season. Bright windows bring in natural light and treetop views, and poolside seating makes it easy to relax while the kids swim. Step into the water any time of year, whether it’s snowing outside or summer’s at its peak.

It’s not just a pool — it’s a built-in memory maker! Float, splash, or lounge here for hours, then step right back into the warmth of your mountain hideaway.

Rec Room
When it’s time to play indoors, the game room at your Pigeon Forge vacation rental has something for every age. Two arcade units — a Multicade loaded with classics and a modern-style flatscreen game — provide hours of nostalgia and fun. For more competitive spirits, there’s air hockey, a bumper pool table (doubles as a poker table), and shuffleboard (doubles as a bowling table).

A media space anchors the room with a huge TV, a sectional, and an armchair for group movie nights and on-demand family entertainment. Add in fresh mountain air with deck access, and you’ve got an all-day hangout spot your group won’t want to leave.

Bedrooms
After a full day of event hopping in Pigeon Forge, whitewater rafting the Little Pigeon River, or even just enjoying all the cabin extras, retreat to one of the 8 bedrooms, each designed for comfort and convenience. There are 6 bedrooms with king-size beds, offering plush escapes for couples or anyone who loves to sprawl. The final 2 bedrooms include queen-over-queen bunks, perfect for kids, cousins, or travel buddies.

Each bedroom has its own TV, and most have en-suite bathrooms, so privacy is never an issue. With 8.5 bathrooms in total, including a mix of walk-in showers and a shower/tub combo, mornings and evenings are easy for a group of up to 28 guests. This thoughtful layout makes it simple for multiple families, friends, or groups traveling together to share the same space while still enjoying private downtime.

Outdoor Spaces
Take your Smoky Mountain retreat outdoors, where you’ll find plenty of space to relax, dine, and enjoy nature at your modern log cabin. A covered deck with a bubbling hot tub and Adirondack chairs overlooks towering trees, perfect for soaking under the stars. A gravel grill space with a gas grill makes BBQ nights easy. Additional covered decks line the cabin with additional seating and treetop views.

The highlight: a separate pavilion with a fire table, plush furnishings, hanging lights, and a peaceful wooded view. It’s the ultimate group setting, where you can toast marshmallows, sip drinks, and share stories from your day of fun at The Island or The 407: Gateway to Adventure.

Other Amenities
This Pigeon Forge cabin with an indoor pool has all the conveniences you need to make your large group stay smooth and stress-free. Keyless entry makes check-in seamless, and a washer/dryer keeps clothes and swimsuits fresh. The cabin also decorates for an Appalachian Christmas, adding an extra touch of holiday cheer if you’re visiting in winter.
