You are surrounded by custom, luxury design touches from the whiskey barrel bathroom vanities to the hand made log wood bar. There is a unique recreation room, 5-hole mini-golf course with two large outdoor play areas, a stunning private backyard with views of the smoky mountains through the trees.

They are designed so that you are all set when you arrive but not to last the entire trip
* Our close proximity to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park means there is lots of wildlife in our area - black bears, deer, wild turkeys, raccoons, coyotes, fox, and more! Black bears visit the cabin often in Spring, Summer and Fall. You may get lucky and catch a glimpse of one of these residents while enjoying the view from the deck. We also contract regular monthly pest services which treat for all pests from multiple types of bugs, mice, etc. Despite our regular treatments, given the proximity of the cabin to the park, it is possible these pests can temporarily enter the cabin. We immediately respond and treat if anything comes up and have found it is rare to come across anything like this.
Guest access
Our guests will have the full cabin to themselves.
