Welcome to The Looney Bin, a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom cabin hosted by Cabins for YOU. Tucked into a wooded hillside in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, this semi-private log cabin sleeps up to 8 guests and delivers a mix of cozy comfort and genuine fun, with a loft rec room, an outdoor hot tub, and all the touches that make a mountain getaway feel like home.
Living Room
The stacked-stone gas fireplace is the anchor of the open living room, framed by high ceilings and large windows that let the trees do the decorating. Plush sofas, a recliner, and a flatscreen TV make it easy to settle in after a full day hiking in the Smoky Mountains.

Kitchen and Dining
The open kitchen is stocked with stainless steel appliances and everything your group needs to cook from scratch or just keep the coffee going. A mahogany island with bar seating for 2 and a large wooden dining table with mixed chair and bench seating give everyone a comfortable spot to eat, play games, or just hang out.
Board game collection: Sorry!, Connect Four, Dominoes, Uno, Smoky Opoly, Jumbling Tower, and more
Rec Room
The loft rec room is where the real competition happens. Shoot pool, take on the classic arcade console, or grab a spot at the side bar and cheer on the action from the bar stools.

Outdoor Spaces

The Looney Bin was everything we wanted, our original cabin was put up for sale a few days prior to our trip and cabins for you made it right with no extra cost.
Everything in the property is perfect. Will definitely book it next time

And, the beds were on the hard side. Would consider another stay on off season week days. Suggest maybe adding a roll of foil, saran wrap, 409, extra toilet paper, and a few condiments for renters. Most cabins we rent have those items.

Other cabins surrounded us, but you couldn't tell! We had wildlife visit almost every day. We saw raccoons, turtles and opossums from our balcony! It was absolutely breathtaking! Everything was super clean and easy to find and function! Definitely on our list to return!

Response from Cabins for You
Deborah, thank you for your review of The Looney Bin! We're so glad you enjoyed the overall stay, despite the few disappointments. Sadly, we are deeply sorry for the hot tub taking time to warm, along with the cabin not being equipped with additional items you stumbled upon needing. We do appreciate your honest feedback, and please know we have passed your recommendations along to the appropriate departments for review. We hope to serve you again in the future.

Great cabin, very clean… easy check in… only down side is it’s up in the mountains… the roads leading in is very crazy and narrow for big trucks… other than that it was a wonderful cabin
Response from Cabins for You

Quiet and Private
The cabin was on a dead end so it was quiet with no thru traffic. Everything was clean, the decorations were unique and the cabin was well stocked.

Family Vacation
The cabin was beautiful. I wish we would've had longer to stay so we could enjoy more. There is plenty to keep you busy if you decide to stay at the cabin instead of going into town. Very relaxing,

Quick getaway
The property was great! We loved the cabin. Very clean upon arrival. We didn’t have any neighbors right next to us which we like. We were close enough to hear others which was fine so it didn’t seem like we were completely alone. The wooden area was beautiful. The cabin was farther out than we usually like but it’s definitely not a deal breaker. Beautiful cabin, great scenery and perfect for a family getaway.
Response from Cabins for You
Nona, we're thrilled to hear that you and your family enjoyed your time at The Looney Bin! Enjoying the beautiful scenery and the secluded feel of the area. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience with us, and we hope to host your next family getaway to the Smokies!

Awesome cabin! It was the perfect atmosphere. However, there is no cell phone service and the WiFi is not great so don’t plan on playing on your phone! It’s a great distance from everything and is beautiful.
Response from Cabins for You
Bailey, we're so glad you had an awesome stay at The Looney Bin! While we certainly understand the frustration of cell service and Wifi being spotty in the mountains, we're happy you were still able to enjoy all the cabin has to offer, and your stay in the Smokies was pleasant. We look forward to hosting you again in the future!
