“What a Retreat” says it all! With over 3,200 sq ft of indoor space, and 2 large covered, screened decks, your family won’t feel cramped. There are plenty of spaces to discover privacy, yet the large Great Room and Kitchen allow everyone to gather in one area when inclined. Decorated with woodsy themed furnishings, the decor embraces the mountain escape feel that we all desire when visiting the Smokies.
Retreat from the hustle and bustle of sightseeing by taking a short climb to the top of a ridge where the cabin is nestled among the trees for privacy. Relax with a cup of coffee on one of the two oversized screened decks and experience the spectacular views of Cove Mountain! With over 3 acres surrounding the cabin (and backing another 90 undeveloped wooded acres), it feels like you're staying on your own private mountain top! During winter months, glimpses of Mt. LeConte and Bluff Mountain can also be seen! Pull up one of our rockers and submerge yourself in the sounds of the mountains in a very sheltered setting.
If stairs present an issue for any of your party, we have a WHEELCHAIR RAMP to provide ease of entrance to the main level of the cabin, as well as two King suites on the main level. The West bathroom has a lower threshold shower and a large open floor space to accommodate a wheelchair or walker for guests with mobility issues. The lower screened deck, with two King suites and Game Room are wheelchair accessible from the driveway.
The Great Room is complete with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace in the middle of a wall of windows, framing the wooded scenery and Cove Mountain. And there’s no need to struggle building or maintaining a fire – the fireplace is outfitted with gas logs for instant warmth and gratification. There is also a Queen sofa bed available!
The expansive, gourmet kitchen is a delight when preparing meals for a crowd! Cooks can easily work together without getting in each other’s space. Top of the line gas cooktop and oven make preparing meals a breeze. And a warming drawer keeps foods warm until mealtime! The HUGE dining room table seats 10 people comfortably for mealtime and connecting with friends and family!
The two King bedrooms on the main floor are separated by the Great Room and Kitchen, providing additional privacy for guests. Each bedroom has a 43” 4K QLED TV and a door leading directly to the screened deck. The West bedroom (with a King bed) boasts an oversized walk-in closet, and a private bathroom with a 4’ X 6’ shower stall and huge soaking tub.
On the East side of the cabin is a King bedroom, complete with a large, lighted closet, and a bathroom with a tub/shower combo and double vanity. The laundry room, also on this side of the cabin, contains a full-sized front-loading washer and dryer with plenty of room to hang and fold laundered clothes.
The lower level contains 2 King bedrooms with bathrooms, and a Game Room with comfortable seating for viewing the 75" Smart TV. An oversized bathroom contains a tub/shower combo and large double vanity, and dual access to one of the King bedrooms and the Game Room. The other King bedroom has a private full bathroom with a double vanity and tub/ shower combo.
For families that enjoy competing in games of skill, we offer a variety of challenges downstairs in the Game Room. Indoor games include a pool table, foosball, sit-down 2-player multi-arcade game, wall mounted Connect Four, chess/checkers, reversible card/poker table, card games, jigsaw puzzles, and board games galore. Outdoor entertainment includes cornhole, a wood-burning firepit, a walking trail, and more! With over 3 acres, the only limits for exploration are your imagination!
Family gatherings to watch a favorite TV show or movie can be enjoyed in the Great Room, which is outfitted with a 75” 4K QLED Smart TV with soundbar and Blu-ray player. Or enjoy your favorite game or movie on the 75” 4K QLED Smart TV in the Game Room while playing a game of pool or foosball.
For the grill master in the group, a large 6-burner gas grill is conveniently located just steps off the kitchen under the covered carport. The large, upper screened deck provides the perfect setting to avoid the insects and enjoy your culinary endeavors. Or enjoy your meal at the picnic table on the lower screened deck - then soothe your muscles and soak away your cares in the 6-person hot tub!
Last but not least is the fire pit which sets the stage for storytelling and memory making. We supply the wood…you supply the stories and laughter.
Even though "What A Retreat" feels secluded and away from it all, it’s approximately 5 minutes from the Parkway and all the action of Pigeon Forge: restaurants, dinner shows, grocery stores, entertainment, shopping, and more! Tanger Outlets is only 10 minutes away, and Dollywood a short 20-minute drive. Enjoy a scenic 30-minute drive to all Gatlinburg has to offer, along with numerous hiking trails in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

WOW—this cabin was amazing in so many ways! The view was stunning, everything was well stocked, super clean, and there was tons of space for everyone. Our host Megan was fantastic to work with—communication was quick, easy, and stress-free. The property was beautiful, wide open, and honestly just a joy to stay at. And the beds—surprisingly comfy! Plus, the fireplace made the whole cabin feel incredibly warm and inviting.But the location… truly the best part! We were able to explore Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge with ease and even visited the Titanic Museum. Being only 10–20 minutes from great restaurants and attractions made the trip so convenient. And definitely check out the Boot Outlet—it’s a must!

This is truly the best cabin we’ve ever rented in the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area. The location is perfect—high in the mountains with a beautiful, unobstructed view, yet only a short drive from Pigeon Forge. It feels private and peaceful, with just a hint of another rooftop in the distance, but still very convenient to everything.The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and extremely well-equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed, including a large refrigerator/freezer, both Keurig and drip coffee makers, and even a warming drawer that we used every morning. The living area had plenty of comfortable seating for our group, a cozy gas fireplace, and easy controls for lighting and the ceiling fan.All four bedrooms had king-size beds with very comfortable mattresses and bedding—something that’s surprisingly hard to find in this area. The bathrooms were spacious with double vanities, and one had a fantastic walk-in shower with excellent water pressure. The laundry room was large and convenient.We loved the outdoor spaces. The screened-in porch offered gorgeous mountain views, and the fire pit area was outstanding with multiple rocking chairs, plenty of firewood, and even a grill top for cooking. The downstairs game room was a great bonus with a pool table, TV, arcade games, and shuffleboard.The owners were wonderful—quick to respond and very helpful. Check-in was easy, and checkout was simple with no long task list.We would absolutely stay here again!

This property was absolutely wonderful to stay in! I couldn't believe how stocked the kitchen was with every kind of dishware, cookware, utensil, etc. that you'd ever need - very rare for a rental. The beds were comfortable, the living areas were spacious, and we really appreciated the screened-in porches and covered carport since we went in the middle of summer with hot temps and potential for a lot of bugs. If you have a large family gathering, this is a perfect spot!

Greatest vacation cabin and location
Our family had the best time we have ever had on a vacation together! The cabin was so beautiful and full of all of the amenities one would need to feel at home! We loved the corn hole game and had many nights of tournaments and loved the fire pit as well enjoying smores and hot dogs at the fire! The cabin was so comfortable and beautifully decorated and close to all the attractions which made it so pleasurable! We loved it so much we are going to book again for next year. Thank you kindly to Micheal and Megan who took care of some issues while we were there and made sure our stay was as comfortable and efficient as it could be!! The memories we have created will be treasured for a life time. Thank you Micheal and Megan and VRBO for the best vacation ever!!!

Perfect home in Pigeon Forge
We have stayed in a lot of rental homes in the US and Europe and this house might be the nicest most fully equipped home we have rented. The appliances, furnishings and small amenities like lighting were excellent and made our stay an absolute pleasure. Unfortunately, we were there for a family reunion and didn't have as much time as we would have liked to enjoy the home and it's surroundings. However, if we have the opportunity to stay in the Pigeon Forge area again, this will be our go to house.

It's the perfect distance from all the activities, but far enough away for a relaxed evening sitting on the back deck.

Loved "What A Retreat"
We loved the property! It accomodated us beautifully. Everyone had their private bedroom and bathroom and the common spaces were large enough for us to spread out. The screened porches were fabulous. We even spotted a bear in the front yard area sitting in the rocking chairs on the porch. We used the kitchen daily; everything we needed was provided and labeled! A new firepit area had great rockers and the new driveway gave ample parking and turn around space. The whole cabin was very nicely furnished and decorated. The beds were comfortable and we had ample pillows and blankets. We also enjoyed playing games on the dining room table. The location was perfect. We went to the Great Smoky Mountain Park several days and shopped at Tanger and Smoky Mountain Knife Works and Bass Pro on a rainey afternoon. Publix and Kroger are 5-7 minutes away. Our family really enjoyed this lovely cabin home.
