⛰️Views! Huge hot tub! Firepit area! 20 mins to DWood, fenced yard! Pets welcome!

Forget your worries at this specious and serene space. Forbidden retreat is your perfect Smoky Mountain family getaway. We are conveniently located close to the interstate and away from any steep roads. Just 15 minutes from Sevierville and 20 minutes from Dollywood, you’ll get all the convenience without dealing with the dreaded traffic of the Parkway. Bring the pets to enjoy the fully fenced yard while you relax on the wrap around porch with amazing views of beautiful English Mountain. The space is perfect for large families, reunions, and small events. Depending on the event details, a fee does apply. All the rooms are very large and open, but there’s still room to spread out and separate when needed. For those of you who like to cook, you cannot ask for a better kitchen in a Smoky Mountain rental. It’s truly a Chef’s kitchen. When you aren’t out enjoying the local attractions, you’ll still feel like you are at one when you stay at Forbidden Retreat. We have supplied all the amenities you can ask for and the house is even equipped with a 14 foot projector screen for streaming your favorite movies, or bring your gaming console and enjoy that as well. Don’t forget to tour Forbidden Caverns (just 2 minutes away), visit famous Bush Brothers Beans, or take a dip in beautiful Douglas Lake (we offer lake adventure trips on a boat or can recommend local rental companies.

***Pets are welcome, but there is a fee. There is an option when booking to include the fee for one animal at $150 for the stay. However, we have had issues with the website having technical errors regarding this fee. Feel free to contact us with any questions regarding this.***

Family gathering
My husband and I planned a family gathering and found this beautiful home. This place has everything we needed including the beautiful Mountain View’s. Because the host allows pets, we were able to bring our dogs with us. The backyard had plenty of space for them to chase bugs and run around. I am very appreciative for the dog necessities such as food and water bowls! The home had plenty of space for the entire family to enjoy the evening. We are so thankful that we chose this place. Communication with the host was also quick and easy.

Great host and amazing property!
Great place for the whole family! Iryna was a great hostess and was quick to respond to any messages. The house was amazing!! It was fully stocked with everything you would need and more! The location of the house is perfect- close enough to the tourist things without all the traffic and noise. It was so peaceful. We brought our dogs and she had everything needed for them from treats, dog bowls, crates and toys for them to play with. The whole family enjoyed all the amazing amenities that the house had to offer. My little one loved the playground, and we all loved the arcade games, hot tub, fire pit and theatre room. Thank you for your outstanding hospitality and we hope to come back soon!

Family Gathering
Absolutely lovely home plenty of space and lots to do. We had a wonderful stay. There was so much to do that I wish I planned more time to stay there instead of going to all the regular tourist attractions. About 30 minutes from Pigeon Forge Lake Douglas is not far if you like water activities I would definitely rent a boat

Summer Get Away
Our family had a wonderful stay. The pictures and property description were spot on. The location provided us a private retreat with family. We felt welcomed immediately; our hostess, Iryna left us small gift to welcome us for the week. Our kids were able to enjoy playing outside, swimming in the pool and watching movies in the theater room. Everyone enjoyed the fire pit at the end of each day. The entire family enjoyed meals, and playing games on the porch. Be sure to add the Forbidden Caverns to your itinerary, less than 5 minutes from the property and enjoyed by all. Iryna was a great hostess and responded quickly to the few questions we had. Thanks for a wonderful time!!
