Living Room
Beautiful, natural wood interiors and cushy Smoky Mountain-themed furnishings invite guests to spend more quality time together while watching the kids’ favorite cartoons in the mornings on cozy sofas, sipping wine and catching up with friends by the fire, and playing group games in the evenings.

Bring your family’s favorite board games to play around the large coffee table during cabin downtime in between Pigeon Forge excursions to keep everyone entertained and make some of your favorite cabin memories. After a filling dinner at The Old Mill, relax in the living room over pints of your favorite beer while the kids watch movies in the rec room in the next room.

Kitchen
Stocked with tools and appliances for whipping up snacks and meals, this charming country-cabin kitchen makes it easy to make picnic lunches to take to Patriot Park, big meals to celebrate reconnecting with friends, and more. The homey, inviting atmosphere of timber and cute black bears invites laughter while cooking together for dinner and sipping on your new bottles of wine from the Mountain Valley Winery. Enjoy fresh cups of coffee and toasted English muffins as a quick breakfast before heading to the Tanger Outlets in Sevierville. Feel free to use the kitchen’s dishes, rather than paper plates, to host an elegant dinner with friends and let the dishwasher do all the cleaning!

Dining Room
There’s plenty of elbow room around this lovely 6-chair wood dining set! Dig into holiday meals and fun family dinners before clearing the table and playing board games and cards before finally turning into bed. Meet back at the table for breakfasts each morning to plan out exciting days in Dollywood, shopping trips to The Island, and outdoor adventures ziplining at Foxfire Mountain.

Bedrooms
Pull back the covers to 3 cozy king-size beds at the end of each day to climb in and indulge in restful nights of sleep. Unwind from all the thrills of WonderWorks and Fort Fun with late-night TV, slowly drifting off to sleep. With nowhere to be, spend lazy mornings in bed enjoying the serene wooded views through the windows before heading to 1 of 3 full bathrooms to shower or enjoy a big bubble bath in the large jetted tub.

Escape to your bedroom in between lunch in Pigeon Forge and exploring downtown Gatlinburg to slip into a dreamy nap under the soft breezes of the ceiling fan. With dressers and closets, make yourself more at home and unpack clothes and stop unfolding every outfit piece as you rummage through clunky suitcases.

Rec Room
Guests will love in-cabin days playing games and hanging out in the impressive rec room with a second fireplace and seating area, a large flatscreen TV, pool table, air hockey, and foosball! Kick it with friends in the rec room with drinks and snacks while playing pool and your favorite sports team plays on the large flatscreen. Challenge the kids to a couple games of air hockey before heading up the spiral staircase to cheer them on as they compete over a game of foosball.

Your little ones will also love sleeping in their own little nook of the house in the twin-over-twin trundle and queen-size sleeper found in this loft. Gather around the large, cushy leather sectional and turn on a fire in the impressive stone gas fireplace before popping your favorite DVD and Blu-ray movies from home for a special movie night in the cabin.

Outdoor Amenities
Lush Smoky Mountain forest views surround this cozy Pigeon Forge cabin for a semi-secluded stay away from sounds and lights of the city. Sway in the rocking chairs on the porch while enjoying cold glasses of sweet tea and watching your little ones play with the dogs in the front yard. Throw hot dogs and hamburgers on the charcoal grill while hanging out during a laid-back cabin cookout. After hiking to Clingmans Dome and Andrews Bald in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, soothe worked muscles in the bubbly waters of the outdoor hot tub on the deck while hypnotic sounds of wildlife ease your soul.
