This five-bedroom Gatlinburg retreat hits the sweet spot for groups who want both together time and breathing room—think mornings spent on the deck with coffee, afternoons exploring the national park, and evenings that shift from hot tub soaks to arcade tournaments in the game room.
The three-level layout sleeps a dozen across king and queen bedrooms plus a dedicated bunk room, making it especially smart for multi-family trips or friend groups where some people want their own space and others don't mind bunking up.

Frequently asked questions
Is the cabin pet-friendly, and is there a fee?
Yes, pets are welcome at this property. There is a pet fee, so just check with the host for the exact amount when you book. Make sure to mention how many pets you're bringing.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-in is anytime after 4:00 PM and check-out is at 10:00 AM. If you need to arrive earlier or leave later, reach out to the host ahead of time to see if they can accommodate. Mountain roads can take longer than expected, so plan your drive accordingly.
Are the hot tub and pool table available year-round?
The hot tub runs all year, so you can use it even in winter. The pool table in the game room is obviously available anytime. Just note that if there's a pool, those are typically seasonal in the Smokies.
How many vehicles can we park at the cabin?
Most cabins in this area have paved parking for 4 to 6 vehicles. The driveway should handle your group comfortably, but if you're bringing more cars or a trailer, double-check with the host first. Mountain driveways have their limits.
How's the cell service and Wi-Fi?
Cell service can be hit or miss up in the mountains depending on your carrier. The cabin does have Wi-Fi, so you'll be able to stay connected for calls, streaming, and work if needed.
About the booking — and how to save a little more
Most Smoky Mountain cabins get listed on Airbnb and VRBO in addition to the owner's direct site. The platforms charge service fees that typically add 10-15% to the final total — so a $2,000 week on VRBO lands closer to $2,300 after fees. Booking directly with Smoky Mountain Vacation Cabins skips those fees entirely.
If you book on their direct site, use the code TSMFRIENDS at checkout for an additional 15% off on top of the no-fee pricing. That's our TSM Friends partner code — it works at their checkout and stacks with what you already save vs. the platforms.
