This cabin sleeps 4 people MAXIMUM.
CELL SERVICE: My Verizon cell service works ok for calling or texting. Data usage is not the best but the Cabin Wifi works great.
FIREPLACE: For obvious reasons, the fireplace is non-operational during warm weather months. The fireplace is operational October 15th through March 15th.
PETS:Sorry, we do not permit pets of any kind.
There is no smoking or vaping of any kind permitted inside the Cabin!! You will be charged for the cleaning fee and damages from this. Take it OUTSIDE!! Cleanup your cigarette butts.
The cabin is set up with a starter set of coffee pods, paper towels, toilet paper, dish/hand soap and supplies. Additional supplies are the guests responsibility.
All areas are open to our guests.
What’s available for kids and parents to do together in Gatlinburg? A brief walk of the Parkway offers more opportunities for family fun than you can complete in a day. Within a short walk, you’ll find a world-class aquarium, mini golf and mountain coasters, museums and arcades, and countless other attractions for kids and adults alike, right on the Parkway. Or you can fly over the trees in gondolas, chairlifts and aerial tram cars to discover mountain top family adventures.
Also check out Gatlinburgs wealth of arts and crafts, and its many artists and craftspeople, with one of the largest communities of independent artisans in the country. Nowhere is this more visible than along the Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Community Trail, an 8-mile scenic drive on the outskirts of Gatlinburg that contains a host of studios and shops.
4-Wheel drive may be needed during winter months depending on your driving ability.
The cabin is in the woods. You will likely see and hear critters. The roof is metal. There is no attic. If a squirrel crawls on the roof you will hear it. If its raining you will hear it.
If you see a bear during your stay whether in the park or in the driveway do not feed it. Stay away from it. They are dangerous. Bears are RARE!

Meet The Host
Scott
Owner
Welcome! We are a couple from New York with two young kids and decided to purchase a cabin in the Smoky Mountains after one fun filled visit. Both of us love to travel and do so often. My wife and I are both college graduates, her being a school teacher and myself a firefighter in NYC. We love being outdoors, skiing, hiking, rafting and much more but also love a good movie and time to relax and enjoy. It makes us happy to be able to share our home with you as it's a great joy for us and we are confident you'll love it!
