Sweet Pickins
Location: Gatlinburg, Tennessee
Description
Romance and relaxation await at this beautiful 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom cabin in Gatlinburg. A charming log exterior will welcome you in, and bright wood interiors will make you feel right at home. Each space is made for comfort and convenience, and the location just 6 miles from downtown Gatlinburg keeps you near it all. Have a memorable honeymoon, a romantic anniversary weekend, or a small family getaway in this beautiful and comfortable cabin in the Smokies!
Located near the Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Community and just 6 miles from downtown Gatlinburg, Sweet Pickins makes enjoying area attractions easy. An important part of the Gatlinburg culture, the Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Community is an 8-mile loop of independent artisans and craftsmen showcasing and selling their incredible one-of-a-kind work. You could spend an entire day driving the loop and browsing the unique stores. The loop also has several charming cafés where you can stop for a bite to eat. You can even get an old-fashioned root beer float at the soda shoppe. If you’re looking for a little more action, head into downtown Gatlinburg and check out the exciting attractions. You can tour the Mysterious Mansion, play a few rounds of miniature golf, test your shooting skills, or feel like a kid again at a classic arcade. While you play and stroll the Parkway, get your fill of funnel cakes, homemade fudge and taffy, corn dogs, pancakes, and great Southern classics. Then you can burn it all off with a hike in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park!
At the cabin, rest after a long day. The bedroom offers a romantic escape with a comfortable king-size bed, bedside lamps, and a soothing jetted tub. Light some candles, pour a glass of wine, and pamper yourself with some luxurious bath products from one of our gift baskets. It will be the perfect addition to any romantic vacation.
In the morning, make your way into the cozy living area for a relaxing day in the cabin. Curl up on the plush sofas as you stay warm by the gas fireplace, play card games and board games on the coffee table, read a good book, or watch some shows on the LED TV with DVD player. The surrounding windows will let in lots of natural light, providing you a warm, inviting atmosphere. If you’re traveling with more than two, the queen sleeper sofa will be a welcome amenity.
From the living room you’ll have easy access to the deck. Let the fresh mountain air wash over you as you sit back in the rocking chairs with a cup of coffee. For the ultimate relaxing experience, soak in the hot tub on the screened-in deck. With the woods surrounding you, you can enjoy a romantic and private soak year-round. The screened-in deck also features a dining table for two – perfect for outdoor meals or a drink before bed.
While there are plenty of great restaurants in nearby downtown Gatlinburg, the fully-equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare home-cooked meals in the cabin. Beautiful wood cabinets, full-size appliances, and plenty of tools will make whipping up meals and snacks a breeze. At the nearby dining table, sit down for a peaceful meal. It will be a welcome break from the busy restaurants in town. There is also a charcoal grill outside, which is ideal for grilling up steaks and burgers on nice nights.
In this comfortable cabin, guests will appreciate the many conveniences. It features just one step up into the cabin, three parking spaces in the slightly sloped gravel parking area, a washer and dryer, an iron and ironing board, and wireless Internet. An air hockey table will provide hours of fun for kids and adults, and Christmas decorations will make the holidays even more special!
With a great location near downtown Gatlinburg, beautiful interiors, semi-private wooded views, lots of amenities, and charming décor, Sweet Pickins is the perfect Smoky Mountain escape for a couple or a small family. Take a break from it all with a memorable stay here. For more information, call 1.800.684.7865 today!

"If you're looking for a peaceful mountain get away this is your cabin. So quite and cozy. Beautiful decor, comfort and everything you could want for a couple or small family. This was our first time staying at Sweet Pickins and we were very pleased. Looking forward to coming back again and again. The cabin had a wonderful hot tub to relax in and everything you needed to make you feel at home. The highlight of our stay was seeing the momma bear and her three cubs stroll through the yard. We got to safely watch them from the back deck as they went on about their business. Great pictures and great memories!"

"This cabin was great for a romantic get away. The location was perfect with alot of privacy. There were only 2 other cabins located near us. It was very quiet and peaceful. If you are looking for peace and quiet with little to no interaction from anyone, this cabin is the place. My fiance and I will be back again next year."

"We stayed a week in Sweet Pickins. It was just AWESOME! The location of this 1 bedroom cabin was inside the Crafter's Loop. Perfect location. It was secluded, but close to everything. I HIGHLY recommend this cabin and can't wait to go back to stay in it again!"

"We were celebrating our 47th wedding anniversary and checked in on that day. I secretly arranged with your wonderful staff to purchase four romantic packages to cover the cabin inside with Love. And boy did y'all bring the Wow! The meal, the rose petals, the seclusion, the beauty , the screened in porch with hot tub. It was was everything I hoped to give my Beloved and more. Thank you so much."

"This cabin was absolutely perfect for our little getaway during the 4th of July weekend. Upon arrival we noticed it was very clean and had cute decor throughout the house! Absolutely loved how quiet the surrounding area is near the cabin and was just what we needed to get away from how hectic life can be for a few days. The hot tub and hockey table were nice too! Overall I would highly recommend this cabin to everyone to come relax and unwind!"

"We had a wonderful stay at Sweet Pickins cabin. So beautiful and cozy. Extra clean and quiet. Hot tub and location was perfect. The cabin has everything you could want. The best thing was the excitement when the momma bear and three cubs strolled by the yard. Me and my husband had a great time watching them safely from the back porch. We can't wait to go back again very soon."

"Sweet Pickins was the perfect private hideaway for me and my partner - great for a staycation (in the time of COVID) even though it was less than a 15-minute drive to the main attractions of Gatlinburg. There are some great restaurants nearby, highly recommend Big Bear Pizza and Subs and Mad Dog's Creamery & Donuts, as well as having a close-by grocery store. The cabin was homey, yet spacious, and we had a blast in the hot tub and playing air hockey. We had such a great time - we definitely recommend this cabin, and we will be back in the future."
