Riley's Lazy Haven is an exceptionally maintained cabin that sleeps up to 4 people. It is located in the highly desirable Sky Harbor Subdivision. The Cabin is far enough off of the beaten path to enjoy the peacefulness of the Great Smoky Mountains, but close enough to be at all the area attractions in just minutes. The first stop light into Gatlinburg is 10 minutes away. Riley's Lazy Haven is within 15-20 minutes of downtown Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, Splash Country, Dixie Stampede, and the legendary hiking trails of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Don't forget Ober Gatlinburg for winter skiing, ice skating, and snow tubing.
This real log cabin is perfect for couples wanting refuge for their exciting Smoky Mountain Vacation or honeymooners looking for a quiet romantic getaway.
Riley's Lazy Haven offers guests thoughtful amenities so your stay can be relaxing, enjoyable, and your home away from home in the mountains.
Enter the Cabin into the living room with a vaulted ceiling. The living room has a beautiful stone fireplace, a comfortable couch, chair, and classic rocking chair. A Smart-TV has complimentary YouTube TV and provides the option to login to your favorite Streaming Apps. YouTube TV provides most, if not all (and more), standard cable channels; to include local programming.
This cabin features a first-floor master bedroom with a King bed, Jacuzzi tub, and Smart-TV. The TV is on a swivel arm so you can watch your favorite programs while lying in bed or relaxing in the Jacuzzi tub. The Master Suite has its own full bathroom with a tub/shower combo. *There is approximately 12” (one foot) clearance between the corner of the bed and Jacuzzi tub. I felt the King Bed is worth the limited clearance space. This can be seen in my photographs.
The Cabin has an open loft with King bed. The King bed has a new mattress. You’ll also find a cozy nook in the loft with a twin bed. The loft has its own full bathroom with a standup shower. The loft area has a SmartTV.
The kitchen is spacious and fully equipped to prepare home cooked meals. A charcoal Weber grill is located outside on the back deck to grill up your favorite BBQ meats. Enjoy your meals out on the deck or in the kitchen.
The spacious deck off the back of the Cabin has a table with seating for four. There are two rocking chairs to relax in while listening to the sounds of the Smoky Mountains. The hot tub is always inviting on a cold winter night or after a long hike.
There is a small washer and dryer for small loads of laundry.
Riley’s Lazy Haven provides Wi-Fi free of charge for your enjoyment! Feel free to watch as much Netflix on your devices as you'd like!!
There is a Keurig and regular coffee maker at the cabin. I make every effort to supply basic K-cups and coffee grounds. Feel free to bring your own favorite coffee.
Owner Information: I can be contacted via text or phone anytime before, during, or after your stay via Airbnb or 847/894-3239.
YOU AGREE TO AND/OR ACKNOWLEDGE THE FOLLOWING IF BOOKING THIS CABIN:
Strict Number of Guests: You MUST accurately disclose the number of guests traveling in your party through Airbnb. This Cabin has a 4 person maximum limit.
Pets/Animals: I do NOT permit pets or animals of any kind for any reason. I have medical conditions that prevent me from having any animals in the Cabin.
Hot Tub Cleaning: The Hot Tub is drained and refilled after each guest. Therefore, depending on when the hot tub was filled, it might be cool upon your arrival. The hot tub does take several hours to reach max temperature. This should be kept in mind if booking for only one night. Keeping the lid on will heat the hot tub faster. Any body of water has a potential for drowning. It is slippery in and around the hot tub. Use at your own risk. Children are not allowed in the hot tub.
Heating & AC: The Cabin has a residential system in it like any other home. It is not a commercial system. I ask the AC be set no lower than 68 degrees and the heat no higher than 74. Additionally, the AC cannot be run before, during, or after fireplace use. If you like it cooler, warmer, or like to run the AC with the fireplace, I kindly request you choose another Cabin.
Fireplace: For obvious reasons, the fireplace is non-operational during warm weather months. The fireplace is operational October 15th through February 28th. Again, the AC cannot be run before, during, or after fireplace use.
Cell Service: My Verizon cell service works "ok" for calling or texting. Data usage is not the best; however, the Cabin Wifi works great.
Mountain Roads: This Cabin is on a mountain in the Sky Harbor subdivision. It is easily accessed via asphalt roads. There are sharp turns and steep grades, which might be a shock to some. Please take your time driving. Some roads require you to pull over so another car can safely pass. Don't panic, our fully loaded Honda Odyssey mini-van and Honda Civic get to the cabin with no problems under dry and rainy conditions.
With that being said, in the event of snow, going up or down the mountain is not recommended. This area averages 10 inches of snow per year.
No Smoking: There is no smoking or vaping of any kind permitted in the Cabin!!
Grill Charcoal: Unfortunately, I do not guarantee a supply of charcoal at this time. Please plan accordingly.
Cleaning Supplies: There is a starter supply of dishwashing soap, garbage bags, and paper towels. You will need to supply your own after the starter supply runs out. Laundry detergent is not supplied.
Check in Time: 4:00 PM (sometimes my housekeeper will have the Cabin ready sooner but there is no guarantee).
Check Out Time: 10:00 AM. The housekeeper arrives shortly after 10:00 A.M..
Pest Control: The cabin is treated regularly for insects, mice, & scorpions. However, you are on a mountain and at times they may make their way inside the cabin. Keep all doors and windows closed at all times to prevent unwanted guests.
**If you are making a reservation on or around October 15th; you are agreeing to permit a service technician to enter the Cabin to start fireplace service for the season. I try to do this in between guests but the schedule sometimes does not work out.
Guest access
Having a vehicle is a necessity. However, Uber is available in the area. You will have access to all living spaces of the Cabin.
Other things to note
I have a strict no refund policy. As in any home, sometimes things break. There will be no refunds for any reason to include power outages, cable outages, malfunctioning TV's, fireplace, hot tub, appliances, etc.. If you encounter any problems, please contact me right away. I will attempt to rectify the issue as soon as is reasonable based on availability of the required technician.
Refunds will not be given for cancellations; no matter the reason.
