Very beautiful, clean, unique place. Lots of space and the kids loved the arcade games. Beautiful view. Wish we would have stayed longer, since we were only there a couple of days.

We had an amazing time! The house is beautiful and so clean! A few of the arcade games weren’t working (big buck world, pac man) but the kids really enjoyed having their own space in the game room/movie room. We enjoyed spending time on the deck with the hot tub and tv, but would’ve liked if the furniture was a tad more comfortable or had cushions. We would’ve used the furniture from the lower deck more but it was soaked all weekend from the rain. We were happy to get a visit from the bear on our first day. He wasn’t scared of us at all so make sure to not leave any food or garbage out. The views from all balconies were gorgeous! We will definitely stay here again!!! Highly recommend!!!!

We had a wonderful time staying at Sophie’s hideout. The view was spectacular, the bear sightings were entertaining and the owner/host was very helpful. Also, the drive up was not so bad, but I do recommend arriving before dark the first time up. I would definitely stay here again.

The views from the porches were breathtaking and were much enjoyed while having coffee in the morning and ending the day watching the sun go down. The area was peaceful and easy to get to. The cabin was clean. We were sad to leave! Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful cabin in the mountains

The cabin looks exactly like the photos. The view is stunning, more beautiful than the pictures. We loved that the cabin was out of the chaos and crowded streets of Gatlinburg but was just a quick drive to get back to all the fun activities. The game room/movie theater, hot tub, and amazing deck views were the highlights of the cabin. The fireplace was also an added bonus. The cabin was clean but there was a cloth couch that has seen better days. It had some stains. Some of the cushions had slip covers, yet some did not. Also, both main beds (downstairs and upstairs bedrooms) had piling on the mattresses that you could feel through the sheets and the pillows were very thin, which made for a poor quality of sleep. Phil was very responsive. He answered all questions and addressed any problems right away. Side note: There is not a way to get to the game room and movie theater from inside the cabin. You have to go outside and down the stairs. It wasn’t terrible, just not ideal as my 3 and 6 year olds wanted to be down there often and I didn’t feel comfortable leaving them down there by themselves.

Highly recommend!

The pictures online do not do this place justice! My family and I have been coming to Gatlinburg for years, and we have never stayed in a place with such a beautiful view. We were also excited to see that it was already decorated for Christmas! The area is beautiful, and it’s just down the road from downtown Gatlinburg. We also saw a few bears multiple times throughout our trip (make sure to lock your cars!!). Absolutely cannot recommend this cabin enough, and my family is already planning our next trip!

Birthday Surprise

The trip was setup as a surprise birthday celebration. It was a great place to stay. The view was great and there was plenty to do at the cabin. It was close enough to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg so it didn’t take much time to get to either. Phil was a great host and prompt to respond to any questions I had. I would recommend the cabin, but if I did it again, I would definitely stay for longer. That was the only negative…which has nothing to do with the cabin.
