A second living room — aka the den — on the lower level offers more space for guests to spread out. Relax on the sofa or in the leather chair here, open a good book, or flip on the big screen TV to watch movies and hang out. There are ceiling fans for warm days, or you can open the door to the deck and slip right into the hot tub! The coffee table is large enough for cards or board games, and there’s space on the floor for kids to build blocks or play around.
Kitchen + Kitchenette

And with a dishwasher, cleanup will be easy.
The kitchen is stocked with dishes, glasses, utensils, and cooking tools, so you can enjoy meals in the cabin together. This open space is also great for multiple chefs to help out!

Outdoor Spaces
What is a trip to the lake without plenty of time spent in the great outdoors? This lakefront cabin in the Smoky Mountains makes this easy, with plenty of places to enjoy nature. Sip coffee on the deck in the rocking chairs with a small table or sit with your love on the porch swing overlooking the water. Stay cool in the shade on the loungers or soak away your stresses in the hot tub on the covered patio area. In the evenings, fire up the grill for a cookout or sit on the bench and haybales around the firepit for s’mores and campfire stories.
Whether you want sun or shade, you’ll find a great place to relax and unwind at Smoky Mountain Lake Retreat. There’s even a heater on the deck so you can stay warm when the temperatures drop throughout the year. Partial mountain views can be seen in the distance from the top deck. And don’t forget about your private dock with a ladder! Bring your favorite watercraft and fishing poles and enjoy easy access to the water — just steps from your cabin’s back door — adding to your list of things to do in summer in Pigeon Forge. You can even take your boat to lakeside restaurants!
