If you're looking for a true mountain escape, this is it. Welcome to Tranquil Treetop, an authentic log cabin in Brother's Cove, a gated mountain resort 9 miles from the Pigeon Forge Parkway and close to Gatlinburg, Wears Valley, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Three private ensuites, hot tub, wood-burning fireplace, pool table, arcade, deck swing, and resort pool - all wrapped in soaring windows with breathtaking wooded mountain views. Unplug, reconnect, and make memories that last.
The space
Tranquil Treetop is where you come to breathe. Step outside onto the deck and you're immediately surrounded by it: birds calling through the forest canopy, wind moving through the trees, fresh mountain air, and on rainy days, the sound of a mountain stream below. This is what a true escape sounds like.
Soak in the hot tub while the mountains fade to silhouette at dusk. Settle into the Tiipii deck swing surrounded by forest and string lights and lose track of time. Dine outside while the woods come alive around you. Come summer, the Brother's Cove resort pool is available to guests and the mountain views from the pool area are nothing short of spectacular.
Inside, the cabin wraps you in warmth: rich log walls, soaring ceilings, and a stone fireplace that's begging to be lit on cool mountain evenings (October through March). Shoot a round of pool in the window-wrapped game room, challenge the group to 60 classic arcade games on the whiskey barrel multicade system, or simply sink into the sofa and let the mountain views do the work.
Tranquil Treetop sits at the sweet spot of the Smokies. You're 9 miles from the Pigeon Forge Parkway, close enough to reach Dollywood, The Island, and dozens of restaurants and attractions in minutes, yet far enough away to feel completely removed from the tourist strip. Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a short scenic drive with world class hiking, waterfalls, and wildlife. Gatlinburg and Wears Valley are equally close for dining, shopping, and exploring. Come home to total seclusion after a full day of adventure. That's the Tranquil Treetop experience.
LIVING AREAS:
The main level is the heart of the cabin, anchored by a stunning hand-carved spiral staircase that commands the space from every angle. Whether you're cooking in the fully equipped kitchen, gathered around the dining table for eight, or relaxing in the living room, it's the kind of craftsmanship you stop and appreciate. The living room offers plenty of seating, a 50 inch Roku TV, and a wood burning fireplace perfect for cool mountain evenings (October through March). The pool table room is surrounded by floor to ceiling windows — shoot a round while the forest watches. Challenge the group to 60 classic games on the whiskey barrel multicade arcade system. This is where the evenings happen.
BEDROOMS AND BATHROOMS:
Every bedroom has its own private ensuite bathroom — no sharing, no waiting. The cabin was recently redecorated with new mattresses, luxurious bedding, cozy throws, and plenty of pillows. You will sleep well here.
Primary Suite: King bed, jacuzzi tub, private deck access with Tiipii swing and outdoor seating, 32 inch Roku TV
Bedroom 2: Queen bed, ensuite shower, 32 inch Roku TV
Bedroom 3: King bed, jacuzzi tub, ensuite bathroom, 32 inch Roku TV
Two queen memory foam sleeper sofas on the main level comfortably sleep additional guests. Please note that all full bathrooms are accessed through the bedrooms — a classic feature of true log cabin design. There is a half bath on the main level.
OUTDOOR AREAS:
The main deck is your front row seat to the mountains. Soak in the hot tub, gather around the outdoor dining table for eight, or fire up the charcoal grill for an evening cookout (charcoal not provided, available at nearby stores). The upper deck is home to the Tiipii swing bed strung with lights and surrounded by forest — guests consistently call it the highlight of their stay. Parking is available for 2-3 vehicles.
OTHER AMENITIES:
The Brother's Cove resort pool is open Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, 9am to 9pm. The mountain views from the pool area are spectacular.
WiFi is available through Viper Broadband and works well for streaming and everyday browsing. Keep in mind that rural mountain connectivity is a different experience than city speeds — part of the charm of being this far up in the mountains.
Washer and dryer are available for guest use.
Roku smart TVs are in every bedroom and the living room — just log into your own streaming accounts and you are all set. Cable and satellite are not available.
Guest access
Check in is easy and fully self-guided. Your keypad code will be sent to you a few days beore arrival, no office stop required.
Parking is available for 3 smaller vehicles or 2 larger ones. The driveway is steep, as you would expect from a mountain cabin at this elevation. Low-riding vehicles and trailers are not able to navigate the driveway, so plan accordingly before your trip.
Other things to note
A rental agreement will be sent for electronic signature following your booking confirmation. Please sign promptly to secure your reservation.
The roads inside Brother's Cove are paved but steep and curvy. Good tire tread is essential year round, as wet roads can be challenging even in summer months. In winter weather conditions, four wheel drive or all wheel drive is strongly recommended. The drive is worth every turn.
Tranquil Treetop is a true mountain cabin in a wooded forest setting. The cabin is on a regular pest control maintenance plan, but you may encounter the occasional spider, bug, or critter. Guests who love the outdoors take this in stride. If this concerns you, a hotel in town may be a better fit.
Firewood and charcoal are not provided but are available at nearby stores.
There is one exterior security camera at the front door for the safety and security of our guests and property.
