Very private and quiet with a large private plot, surrounded by wooded areas, very close to the National Park. The home is in the calm and beautiful Pinnacle Vista area, with gorgeous views of the Greenbrier Pinnacle. It feels secluded, yet it is very conveniently located.

Our cabin has a wonderful open floor plan which allows for fun evenings spent around the kitchen or just lounging in one of the multiple large living areas. The combination of amazing views with private wooded lands and a relatively flat property for the area, as well as two enormous decks, makes it ideal for lounging outside (including in the hot tub). The house is laid out in such a way as to provide plenty of space for everyone to spread out and do their own thing. Play and sing together with the piano, guitar, banjo, and ukuleles – or if you don't know how to play, take the chance to try it out! Send the kids down to the game room for some fun or out to the large lawn to the swing set or to play with one of the many lawn games while the adults relax in the hot tub, play pool, or lounge on one of the decks. When it starts getting dark outside, gather around the fire pit in the backyard (firewood provided). The size of the property also allows for peace and quiet when you retire to your bedroom while others continue to enjoy the features of the property. No need for anyone to wake up before they're ready. This cabin is in an ideal location for ease of access to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, and multiple entrances to the Smoky Mountain National Park.
