We enjoyed our stay! The house was in a very convenient location.

Beauty 9 miles to Dollywood
We had a wonderful time staying at Mike & Nancy’s cabin in Sevierville, TN. They were extremely accommodating and very communicative throughout the process of not only our stay, but the booking and leading up to the days of our trip. The cabin was spectacular with an amazing view of the mountains. Would definitely stay again.

Private Cabin w/Mountain view/Hot tub/pet-friendly
It was real lovely, the cabin matched the pictures. We roasted some hot dogs on the fire pit, and relaxed in the hot tub for a bit. They were very responsive and were there for anything we needed. It was the cleanest rental I’ve stayed at honestly don’t think we couldn’t have asked for anything more. The view from the hot tub and balcony is perfect and made for some good photos.

April Special!~Hot Tub~Fire Pit Table~Pool Table
We would definitely come back! The space worked out perfect for our family. Jake And Megan were super friendly and responsive. The photos looked exactly like the description on Airbnb. We enjoyed the amenities that were there. Only downfall I would say was the very steep hill to get to the cabin..would not want to do that in the winter but no fault of the hosts!! Thanks again!

Secluded Cabin w/Mtn. Views, 3 Decks & Theater
We loved our stay at the cabin. The place was beautiful and the scenery amazing. We had so much fun playing pool and table games they have. Also one of my favorite was the movie theater where we gather every night. Waking up and having coffee from the balcony while enjoying the view of the mountains is magical. Beds where so comfortable and ambient was so cozy we felt home. Travis was an amazing host and very responsive, he was always available for any questions or concerns. I recommend this wonderful place to anyone that is looking into having the most amazing relaxing experience.We had the most perfect relaxing stay ever!

Family/Pet Friendly Cabin
I can’t thank Alison and Jason enough for being the best host and providing our family with an ideal place to stay minutes from the parkway and also not a far drive from the scenic Cades cove! Alison and Jason provided so many details on other things to do and places to eat/visit while in town and we couldn’t be happier with them and their beautiful cabin!

Kim’s place was absolutely perfect for our weekend get away. If you’ve never been to the mountains, book this Airbnb and go. This place has it all. Mountains views, close to hiking trails, hot tub, movie room, pool table, games, and gas grill. Very comfortable bed too. It was the perfect size place and comfortable living areas. I proposed to my girlfriend here, so it was a really special weekend. 5 stars plus!!!

Relaxing Eagles Ridge Getaway | Hot Tub
The cabin was perfect for our needs. We cooked basic meal in the cabin and found everything that we needed in the kitchen. We enjoyed the hot tub and my favorite feature was the fire place. We attended services at the Catholic Church and the Lutheran Church in the area, attended the Flea Market and of course Buc-ees. We also went to a Show at the Country Barn. We tried to drive up the mountain but the road was closed due to snow and ice. The only thing we would have liked at the cabin was mountain view but other than that it was great!

Hot Tub* 9 Miles to Great Smoky Mtn National Park
Do to a last minute mishap I had to find a last minute/same day rental, and Mike was very responsive and even let us check in a little early! Would recommend this cozy tiny cabin and host for any stays.

Tree La City
Jonette was super helpful with all of our questions and with this being our first air b&b experience as she took the time to help us address all of our concerns with having to bring our dogs. Luckily we didn’t have to bring them with a last minute assist from a family member! The house was as described and had everything we needed and more including a beautiful area with some great views! Definitely recommend it as a place to stay if your going to the Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg area as it is far enough away to not get caught up in the hustle and bustle of all the tourists but close enough I t’s not a pain to have to drive there.

Home was super clean and renters were super responsive and helpful. I will be back and bringing my kids to enjoy it as much as I did !🩷

TIMBER RIDGE LODGE Airbnb number 20074293
It was a beautiful cabin decorated for Christmas. We stay the week of Christmas 2024 and their was 12 of us, 6 kids and 6 adults. The cabin worked wonderful for us. It was large enough with the upstairs and the basement that each of my family had their own space to relax. The fireplace worked wonderfully, the kids and grandkids enjoyed s'mores over the fire. It was a true pleasure to relax and enjoy family. The weather was also excellent, we could stay out on the back deck and enjoy the views of all the mountains.

My wife and I stayed overnight on our way home and were not disappointed. From the fully functional kitchen and living/dinning room to the super comfy bed to the absolutely beautiful view and surroundings, we throughly enjoyed our stay. Everything was very clearly outlined for us, leaving nothing to chance. We will definitely try to stay here again when we are in the area!

Your secret hideaway. MTN views, relaxing hot tub
My friends and I had the most wonderful time here! Maps took us straight there, instructions were easy and clear, and the host was always responsive and helpful. The cabin is soooo very quaint and cozy, we loved spending time with our coffee in the morning looking out at the mountains and listening to the birds. The space has everything you could possibly need and even had treats and a nice gift from our host. There were various spices, coffees, teas, any kitchen appliance you would need, an abundance of nice linens, and even soap, lotion, and Q-Tip's in the bathroom. You can tell that the host cares about his guests from your stay, and from his kind words and quick responses. This was a great place to come back to after a day of hiking and exploring. We would absolutely recommend staying at this little cabin up on the mountain and hope to visit again! Thanks again for your hospitality Jerri :)

Your guide to Gatlinburg
All About Gatlinburg
Nestled on the northern edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Gatlinburg is a diminutive mountain town surrounded by natural beauty. It’s within easy reach of more than 900 miles of picturesque hiking trails, leaving outdoorsy types wanting for nothing more — the national park’s thundering Grotto Falls are just minutes away, and the town boasts the only ski resort in the state, Ober Gatlinburg. While many visitors are drawn out of town for the region’s abundant wildlife — look out for the resident black bears and hundreds of bird species — staying put brings its own rewards. The Gatlinburg Sky Lift or an elevator ride to the top of the town’s 407-foot Space Needle provide a bird’s eye view of proceedings along with the scenic Smokies, while local breweries, wineries, and distilleries are tasty pit stops on a leisurely tour of local shops and galleries.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Gatlinburg
The stunning spectacle of changing foliage in the surrounding Great Smoky Mountains National Park makes fall a highly recommended time to stay at cabins for rent in this part of Tennessee. Around 100 species of tree gradually transform the mountainside from mid-October through mid-November, which is also when Gatlinburg’s annual Oktoberfest occurs. If you’re hiking in the park, remember to pack layers for the change in temperature at altitude.
During winter, chilly temperatures are countered by an abundance of holiday cheer, including the local Fantasy of Lights Christmas Parade. Spring is primetime for nature lovers wanting to experience wildflower blooms — follow the six-mile Greenbrier route for kaleidoscopic displays. When summer rolls around, all eyes are on the town’s music festivals, and the annual Fourth of July celebration starts at midnight and runs all day and night, including a River Raft Regatta and an absorbing fireworks display atop the Space Needle.

Gatlinburg Pinball Museum
For retro game geeks, pinball wizards, and those looking for family-friendly fun, the city’s pinball museum is a popular destination. The extensive collection of rare pinball machines and arcade games here — more than 100 options to keep you busy — are available for the playing. This is one of the few museums where visitors are encouraged to flex their gaming muscles.
Ober Gatlinburg
The state’s only ski and snowboard resort is a year round destination that’s also the site of an amusement park with a wide range of high-octane activities to boost your adrenaline. Tubing is a major draw during the winter season, while water rides, a climbing wall, and bumper cars attract visitors once the snow has melted.
