The cabin is located in a neighborhood and we have neighbors. However, the trees do give some privacy.

We offer many amenities at Sierra Bravo so be sure to check our amenities list. Housekeeping will leave a starter pack of things you may need. This includes:

• 2 rolls of toilet paper
• 2 bars of soap
• 1 roll of paper towels

Guest access

You will receive your door code before you arrive. The whole cabin is yours for your stay.

Other things to note:

→ The 2nd bedroom is a loft open to the downstairs. No wall, no door. See photos.

→ Guests will be required to sign a rental agreement upon booking confirmation.

→ Our driveway is steep which is not uncommon for the area but we dont like surprises! Most of our guests drive right up to the parking pad and some choose to park at the end of the driveway (not long) - it all depends on their comfort level. XL vehicles may have some difficulty turning around to head back down. (If it is winter, we recommend a 4WD vehicle for driving in the Smokies no matter where youre staying.)

★ No problems with it on our end, plenty of room to turn around, and up/down was fine even in rain. Certainly an option to park halfway or at the bottom and walk up what amounts to about a flight of stairs. ★

Suitability

Child friendly

While the cabin is not child-proofed, we think you'll find it is definitely suited for families. We've designed the space with our our own family in mind and our kids love it! Be sure to check out our digital guidebook for more information on safe rental essentials in the area for babies. It's a fantastic way to travel light with children. We do provide kid-friendly plates and utensils along with a high chair and several family games.

High chair

No events allowed

No smoking allowed

Smoking in the cabin will result in a $250 extra cleaning fee.

No Parking

There is enough parking space for 2 vehicles. Our driveway is steep which is not uncommon for the area but we don't like surprises! Most of our guests drive right up to the parking pad and some choose to park at the end of the driveway - it all depends on their comfort level. XL vehicles may have some difficulty turning around to head back down. If you park at the end of the driveway (it’s not long) and walk up the incline, we’ve left a utility cart beside the cabin to assist you with your gear. If it is winter, we recommend a 4WD vehicle for driving in the Smokies no matter where you're staying. Please do not block our neighbors' driveways or the fire hydrant.

Meet The Host

Scott

Owner

I was born and raised in the city of Chicago - Sox fan not Cubs! After graduating from Purdue, I moved south to Memphis, TN.

After earning my degree in meteorology, I became a licensed aircraft dispatcher. I was always fascinated by aviation and weather. Now I'm fortunate enough to work in the airline industry with a job that I love.

I live just outside Memphis with my wife, Kelli, our two teenage sons.

We love to vacation with our boys especially to our little cabin in the Smoky Mountains. While we love a good vacation, we are also homebodies. We enjoy a night in with popcorn and a movie as a family and can often be found hanging around our table with a great playlist, good food, and friends.

We aim to make our place feel like your home and to help you make lasting memories with your family. Please know that we're always just a phone call or text away. We look forward to hosting you!

Location

Sierra Bravo is lower on the mountain and an easy drive just a bit off the convenient main parkway.

Getting around

Car is the best way to get around but the Gatlinburg trolley is nice, too. You can skip parking in busy downtown and, instead, park and ride the trolley from City Hall. If you’re coming in the winter, we always recommend 4WD no matter where you’re going or staying in the area - you’re in the mountains after all! Gatlinburg averages around 9 inches of snow a year mostly in January and February but can’t be ruled out anytime during the season. Check the Great Smoky Mountain National Park Service for current conditions and alerts before heading into the park. Cell service can be spotty to non-existent in the mountains. Screenshot and save maps and directions to your phones before heading out. Keep in mind: Mountain roads wind around, climb, drop off, and need time to navigate. Plan on drives taking longer than expected and enjoy the slower pace.
