Keith and Jessica were amazing host and extremely responsive. They had amazing reminders as well as instructions to make sure your stay was smooth. The description of this stay matched exactly what was presented, so there were no surprises.

I loved the place. It was nice and cozy. It’s perfect for a a couple trying to get away for a weekend.

Timothy
★★★★★

I had a great time at Keith’s place. It was clean, comfortable bed and looked just like the pictures. Highly recommend if you’re looking for peace and tranquility.

Jeff
★★★★★

Amazing cabin, very private, cozy, and clean. Wonderful host, very friendly, informative, and responsive. Beautiful country roads and picturesque farms all along your short travel to city fun. Would definitely stay again!

Stephanie
★★★★★

Wonderful place! Myself and my wife just wanted to get away for a little down time, and she wanted something that had a water view, and we found this wonderful gem. Beautiful view looking down at a small lake. This cabin is essentially a tree house, the back deck is up in the trees, which we loved. It took us exactly 19 mins to get to the North end of the Pigeon Forge strip, and it really felt more like 5 or 10 minutes. So it is close to the strip, but yet located so that it still feels more secluded and private. If you are familiar with the area you can also use 321/73 (Wear's Valley Rd) which is close to the cabin, to enter the Park just below Townsend, and close to the Cades Cove entrance, which we did, and saw a Momma Black Bear and 2 cubs, and another Black Bear at a different spot, all in the cove. We saw some Elk as well, and Turkey's everywhere. This is a Great AirBnB & and Keith & Jessica are Great Hosts! Everything was 5 stars!

Steve
★★★★★

Such an amazing place to get away for the weekend. Very peaceful and private and a lot of good amenities right on site like board games, card games, fishing poles, yoga equipment. Everything was nicely labeled and easy to find.

Trina
★★★★★

We were looking for a quiet place in the mountains with a place that you could go fishing. And we found it! The personal touches were great and there was even a grill! Everything was clean and well labeled. The stairs to the pond are shown as in the picture but worth the walk up and down to chill by the water and cast a few lines, we even caught(and released) some fish! Though stairs are not for the faint of heart if you are not used to them(we were prepared). It’s a quick 8 minuteish drive to the main highway where you can get everything you need and want. Hot tub was clean and hot when we arrived just the way we like it. Even the stove and shower were updated compared to the pictures. Thank you guys for a lovely get away. It was our first vacation in 4 years and it healed our souls.

very cozy and nice view of the lake

Uriel
★★★★★

We had such a great time staying here. The cabin was spotless, cozy, and perfectly set up for a relaxing mountain getaway. Mornings with coffee and the quiet surroundings were a highlight, and everything we needed was easy to find and well organized. Keith and Jessica were fantastic hosts, friendly, communicative, and clearly committed to making the experience seamless for their guests. We left feeling refreshed and already talking about coming back. Would absolutely stay again

Michael
★★★★★

We enjoyed our time at the cabin.

Dana
★★★★★

This was the most delightful Airbnb! Close enough to everything but it felt like paradise,. Cosy, warm and relaxing with the most superb view! We couldn’t have been happier and wish we could have stayed longer. Keith thought of everything and communicated with us about all the details and recommendations of where to go and what to eat. Thanks so much! 10/10!

Brigid And Kerry
★★★★★

We enjoyed our stay! Cozy and comfortable. Looking off the deck at the leaves and the lake was a great way to unwind. We would stay there again. Host was very responsive and helpful!

Christi
★★★★★

We loved our stay at this cabin. It was quiet and peaceful and the perfect place for us to unplug and just be. The hot tub was a bit quirky but it suited our needs. Any issues we messaged Keith about were responded to quickly which was appreciated. It’s fall so just be mindful of the leaves everywhere. But it’s a lovely cabin on a beautiful piece of property. We loved it!

Brandie
★★★★★

Great spot. Thanks!

Zach
★★★★★

This place is so peaceful and private!! It was equipped with everything we needed to stay in and cook dinner & breakfast daily. The bed was comfy, the 2 robes were a nice treat, and everything was super clean. The lighting fixtures in this cabin were so neat too! Keith was very responsive when we had a question and WiFi worked great! Others noted about the roads being difficult to see at night and I would agree. However, the listing describes it perfectly so you are aware ahead of time. But if private and secluded is what you’re looking for (which is what we wanted) that comes with it! GPS takes you right to the driveway! Great stay! Would definitely stay here again!

Whitney
★★★★★

Worth the money! Would recommend to anyone who is thinking about it.

Brent
★★★★★

This place was very beautiful and we enjoyed our stay! Definitely will come back!

Rebecca
★★★★★

This was our first time to Tennessee. We wanted peaceful and private. While we didn’t realize how windy mountain roads are, finding the place was easy. It was certainly private! The view of the lake was amazing! The house was perfectly sized for just my husband and I! The hosts thought of every detail! From including every amenity from toothbrushes, q-tips, soap, to robes and everything else you’d need for the bathroom. The kitchen was more of the same; trash bags, dishwasher cubes, dish soap was all available. The kitchen was also stocked with everything you’d need for cooking. We cooked daily. The only thing that we couldn’t use was the grill but that wasn’t a big deal since the kitchen was stocked for cooking indoors. We loved every bit of the mountains and spent more of our time outdoors. It was nice to come back every night to such a beautiful place that felt like home!

Bree

Keith was very responsive to my questions asked. We will definitely recommend to friends and family! Looking forward to the next stay!

Jessica
★★★★★

We had an incredible time at this adorable, cozy cabin! Being from TN and traveling to Gatlinburg a ton over the years, we’ve stayed in A LOT of rentals and the thoughtfulness of the amenities in this cabin was awesome and not something you see with the big rental companies. Coffee syrups, bathroom items, yoga mats, robes, tons of games etc. Super cool location too on the lake - we fished and caught blue gill and a small mouth bass!

Justin
★★★★★

A wonderful stay with lots of little amenities that went beyond our expectations! Peaceful location. Clean space. Comfortable. Would definitely recommend and come back again.

Megan
★★★★★

This little cottage was great. Having everything right at our disposal if we needed. The dock and views were beautiful. Host instructions, and communication with us was tremendous, and they are so polite.

Victoria
★★★★★

Beautiful cabin in a great location! Our family of four was comfortable our entire stay. Bed is very relaxing and kitchen is equipped with everything you should need to cook. We definitely enjoyed the hot tub, foos ball table, & variety of board games. Fishing off the dock was an added bonus. We would definitely book again!

Chelsie
★★★★★

Wonderfull cozy cabin vibes! We loved the fireplace and the back deck/view. The host had great communication and it felt clean and safe for our family.

Megan
★★★★★

If you are looking for a relaxing, quiet getaway with an amazing view this is the place you need to book! It is perfectly intimate for couples. In fact, we loved the cabin so much that we ended up booking another night while we were there. We do have a FWD sedan and was able to get up/down the mountain with ease. Keith was also a great host with giving us local recommendations and always responding quickly. We are so glad we spent our first wedding anniversary here. We definitely plan to come back!

Celenna
★★★★★

Cabin was very clean and cozy great for mine and my husband's weekend get away! Was very peaceful and quiet yet still a short drive to restaurants and things to do!

Camerino
★★★★★

Me and my husband took a little honeymoon getaway with just the two of us and we had a great stay at this beautiful cabin!! It was so incredibly comfortable and beautiful!! The little extras around the cabin the bathroom and the kitchen made it feel so personal and would love to come back to stay again!!

Brandi
★★★★★

This is a great spot for a small family getaway. The location, perched high on a mountain, adds a special touch to the experience, especially coming from a flat area without hills or mountains. We were even granted an early check-in, which was a nice bonus. Communication with the host was excellent, and they were very responsive to any issues that arose during the day. The property was mostly spotless, though a few minor concerns with vendors could be addressed. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, and I would definitely recommend it.

Katan
★★★★★

We felt right at home here. The cabin is in a great location with everything to do close by. The place was very clean and private containing everything we needed. Host was very polite, informative, and clear with instructions. The amenities and accommodations were very enjoyable. Would definitely come back and will recommend this place to friends and family!

Mitchell
★★★★★

This was one of the best places we have ever stayed! My husband and I wanted to get away for a few nights over the holidays and it was perfect. The location was so peaceful and beautiful, they thought of every little detail in their place, and it was the best place to spend quality time together. The little things such as the hot chocolate/coffee bar, record player and games, and the toiletries (because we always manage to forget something) made the cabin feel so special and comfortable. We could not have had a better holiday escape! We will be back!

Kaitlin
★★★★★

Absolutely perfect place to get away and relax. Great views and lots of things to go do within a short driving distance. My wife and I will definitely be going back.

Tyler
★★★★★

Keith’s Cabin retreat is the perfect honeymoon spot if you’re looking for a tight yet spacious place that creates an intimate atmosphere with your significant other. The kitchen has everything you need, the bed was comfortable, the views were beautiful, the host gave great recommendations, it was eerily(city boy) yet amazingly quiet. I loved it, we were more comfortable in staying in rather going out. But there’s a lot to do in the Smokey mountains region. I recommend all to pick this as your go to place for any kind of vacation getaways!

Jonathan
★★★★★

The cabin was far enough from town to be peaceful and quiet, yet close enough to be at the attractions within 15 minutes. The lake was beautiful, the leaves still had enough color for some pleasant scenery, and the cabin was the perfect size for a couple looking to get away for a little while.

Andy
★★★★★

A beautiful and peaceful stay!! Highly recommend for small families!!

Kelsy
★★★★★

Perfect place to enjoy getaway in Tennessee mountains just out of town!

Daniel
★★★★★

This was the perfect escape for a few day! Clean and exactly what we expected. It’s far enough outside of town to be private and peaceful but not so far that it’s inconvenient to go do things! Check-in/out was easy & the hosts communication was top notch!

Delanie
★★★★★

beautiful cabin for couples, and lots to do all within a 15 to 30 min drive.

Vanessa
★★★★★

Keith was very helpful with suggestions in the area. He had a very clean home with plenty of space. Keith was always responsive with any questions I had.

Patrick
★★★★★

Got in this cabin on a short notice. Very responsive host. Kept in contact to make sure everything was going good and that we were settled in. Recommended some places for coffee brunch and dinner. Very cute and cozy cabin in the woods.

Wade Edward
★★★★★

The cabin was cute! The walk to get to the pond was ok but to get back up it is very steep. It would be nice if they had chairs on the dock. Very responsive and friendly host!!!

Mikal
★★★★★

A beautiful cabin and setting. Keith was fast on responding

Aaron
★★★★★

Keith has a nice and cozy cabin that is ideal for a couple or a small family. We enjoyed our 4 night stay while visiting GSMP and Dollywood. Cabin was fully stocked and squeaky clean. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a private and quiet place to stay in the area

Andrey
★★★★★

My family & I loved or stay at Keith & Jessica’s Cabin. The cabin matched the description exactly. It is beautiful, well kept, and squeaky clean! So happy we picked this spot. It was the perfect location for our Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge summer vacation. 10/10 recommend!

Darian
★★★★★

As a frequent visitor to the Smokey Mountains I have to say this was the most peaceful place I have stayed. The place was just as pictured with all the amenities you will need for a trip. I would not hesitate to rent again.

Stephen
★★★★★

Lovely decorated, cozy and peaceful cabin! The cabin has everything you would need to stay in and not leave, you just bring the food! Remember to bring your own toilet tissue!!! If you forget something they probably have it available. If you come in the dark, it’s a tad hard to find the drive to the cabin, the sign is hard to see with the cabin number. Great lil coffee station! Huge jacuzzi tube and robes! We had a great time grilling and cooking breakfast at the cabin! Nice back porch with view of the lake! Nice to sit and drink coffee. We sadly didn’t use the hot tub, but it’s located on the huge back porch! Owners respond quickly, which was nice and gave recommendations on a nice place to eat that’s close! Recommend this cabin! Hope we can come again!

Jason
★★★★★

My husband and I chose this cabin in Sevierville for a quiet retreat and that's exactly what we go. The location itself is private, clean, and has everything you need for your stay. We enjoyed the ability to fish off the dock, go in the hot tub after a long day of hiking, and have all the appliances needed to make a nice cup of coffee in the morning. The location is perfect--you are close to Smoky Mountain National Park, Dollywood, downtown Pigeon Forge, downtown Sevierville, Gatlinburg, and Knoxville. We were able to enjoy all of these locations during our stay at the cabin. Keith was very responsive both during the booking as well as while we were there. We will definitely chose this location again when we visit Sevierville next time!

Sarah
★★★★★

Most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in. Gorgeous location feels private and remote. Super close to everything fun to do. Very comfortable and romantic for couples get away. So many cabins in the area are right on top of other peoples. This one felt very private, which was very nice after sightseeing.

Ashley
★★★★★

This was a beautiful place to stay! Great location and Keith’s place was very welcoming and clean.

Kaitlyn
★★★★★

The cabin was a great getaway! Very peaceful and beautiful surroundings. The back deck was my favorite with such a great scenery. Stocked with games and within miles of Pigeon Forge. Great place to stay!

Tracy
★★★★★

Enjoyed our stay! Beautiful grounds/pond. Its a little hike to the pond but worth it!

Amanda
★★★★★

Had a wonderful romantic weekend away! The cabin was exactly as described. The deck was our favorite spot. We grilled, enjoyed the hot tub numerous times and the porch swing was perfect for morning coffee. We cooked nightly in the kitchen and made coffee every morning. Everything worked and was clean! We even did some laundry and both washer and dryer worked great! Would recommend!

Carolyn
★★★★★

My 12 year old grandson and I stayed there for his spring break. He wanted to stay in a cabin and the location was perfect for us as it was close to Pigeon Forge. Everything about the cabin was just as advertised. Keith gave us perfect instructions ahead of our visit and made breakfast recommendations for us (Brick and Spoon was amazing). We went fishing in the pond from the dock and also from the open area to the right of the pond. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again.

From Us To You

The Local Guidebook

We put this together the way we'd tell a friend where to go — not a top-10 list pulled off the internet. These are the spots we actually send our guests to, plus the practical stuff nobody tells you until you're already stuck in Parkway traffic.

Eat & Drink

Our actual favorites
Our Pick

Brick & Spoon

136 Community Center Dr, Pigeon Forge

Southern brunch with a Cajun accent — think tasso deviled eggs, beignets, and build-your-own Bloody Marys. Open 7am–2pm daily, so it's built for an early start before the crowds hit the Parkway.

Go before 8:30am on weekends or plan to wait.
Our Pick

The Local Goat

2167 Parkway, Pigeon Forge

Scratch kitchen, local craft beer, and a menu that actually changes with the seasons. The deep-fried deviled eggs and fall-off-the-bone ribs are the two things we order every single time.

Put your name in and walk next door for a few minutes — the wait is real on weekends.

The Old Mill

Old Mill Ave, Pigeon Forge

A working 1830s grist mill turned restaurant and general store, right on the Little Pigeon River. Go for the cornbread and the setting as much as the meal — it's the most "Smoky Mountains" photo you'll take all trip.

The Sweet Stop

Non-negotiable
Our Pick

Cruze Farm Ice Cream

1642 Parkway, Sevierville

Farm-fresh dairy from the Cruze family's own Jersey cows, with rotating daily flavors and several soft-serve options worth trying more than once — sweet cream, seasonal swirls, and a rotating dole whip are usually all in play. Ask what's churning that day; it changes.

Try the coffee milk if it's in stock — it goes fast.
Our Pick

Curl de la Crème

2656 Parkway, Suite 6, Pigeon Forge

Rolled ice cream, made right in front of you on a frozen slab — pick a cream base, mix in whatever you want, then choose your toppings. The Krazy Kremewich (rolled ice cream between two Krispy Kremes) is not subtle, and that's the point.

Afternoon/evening hours only — check before you make the trip out.

Outdoors & Nature

Worth the drive

Cades Cove

Great Smoky Mountains National Park

An 11-mile one-way loop through open valley — historic homesteads, and the best odds in the park for spotting deer, turkey, and (from a respectful distance) black bear. Go at sunrise if you can; midday traffic on the loop can crawl.

Laurel Falls

Little River Rd, GSMNP

A paved, moderately easy 2.6-mile round-trip hike to one of the park's most photogenic waterfalls — accessible enough for most fitness levels, popular enough that early mornings are worth it.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park

No entrance fee, ever

One of the only national parks with free entry — though a parking tag is required for any vehicle stopped longer than 15 minutes (available at visitor centers or online). Worth grabbing on your way in.

Adventure & Attractions

A must while you're here
Our Pick

The Goat Coaster

Goats on the Roof · 1341 Wears Valley Rd, Pigeon Forge

A nearly mile-long alpine coaster you brake and steer yourself, topping out around 30 mph with real mountain views the whole way down. Go slow for the scenery on your first run, then let it fly on the second. Yes, there really are goats on the roof — feed them on your way in.

Second rides are discounted — one lap is never enough.

Alpine Coasters, generally

Several tracks around Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg

The Goat Coaster is our favorite, but the area has a handful of these self-controlled mountain coasters. If you've never ridden one, it's genuinely one of the best "everyone in the family actually wants to do this" activities in the Smokies.

A local tip on timing: the Parkway between Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg is genuinely one road for a lot of people. Give yourself 20–30 extra minutes on weekend evenings and during Dollywood's peak season — locals plan around it, and now you can too.
