Every single guest says "WOW" when they see this view - and you will too. There's something magical that happens when you first step onto the back porch and witness the breathtaking 180° panoramic vista that unfolds before you. Perched atop your own private mountain with sweeping views across the valley with Mt. LeConte majestically rising in the distance, this isn't just another mountain cabin - it's your personal sanctuary in the clouds.
Complete seclusion awaits on nearly 3 private acres behind a locked gate with only 5 total cabins in this exclusive mountain community. The moment you arrive, the outside world simply melts away. Perfect for families and friend groups seeking the rare combination of togetherness and space to breathe, with 5 distinct gathering areas plus an entertainment-packed gameroom that spans nearly the entire basement level.
From the first light of sunrise painting Mt. LeConte in golden hues to the last rays of sunset disappearing behind distant peaks, every moment here tells a story. This isn't just a stay - it's an experience that will have you planning your return visit before you even leave.

Welcome to what locals, contractors, designers, and every single visitor calls "the most incredible view in the Smokies" - and they're not exaggerating. After hosting dozens of guests, we've yet to meet someone who didn't stop in their tracks and say "wow" when they first witnessed this panorama.
Built in 2007 as a custom family retreat by people who understood that true luxury isn't about fancy finishes - it's about location, privacy, and the feeling of having your own piece of paradise. This mountaintop sanctuary sits on nearly 3 private acres behind a locked gate, offering something increasingly rare in today's world: complete privacy paired with breathtaking natural beauty.
Your 180° panoramic view is nothing short of cinematic. It sweeps from Mt. LeConte on the left, across a tree-covered valley where only the occasional ATV tour adds a whisper of adventure below, and over the mountains that roll toward Gatlinburg in the distance. Watch the sunrise paint Mt. LeConte in shades of gold and rose, then follow the sun's graceful arc overhead throughout the day until it sets behind distant peaks, creating a natural light show that changes by the hour.
This isn't just a cabin - it's five distinct spaces thoughtfully designed so your group can spread out when you need your own space, or come together when it's time to reconnect:
**The Great Room** serves as the heart of the home, anchoring everything with a massive sectional that comfortably seats 6, plus a lazy boy for that perfect reading nook. The open concept flows seamlessly into the dining area featuring an 8-top table for family feasts and an island with additional seating for casual conversations over morning coffee or evening wine.
**The Front Porch** offers twin swings where morning coffee tastes better and conversations flow easier. There's something about gently swaying while breathing in that crisp mountain air that makes even the simplest moments feel special.
**The Back Porch** is where the magic truly happens - and where you'll find yourself spending most of your time. Four rocking chairs, four additional comfortable chairs, and a chaise lounge create multiple vantage points for that million-dollar view. Whether you're sharing stories as a group or finding a quiet moment alone, every seat faces that incredible panorama. Your private hot tub deck elevates the experience literally and figuratively, offering unobstructed views of Mt. LeConte while you soak under the stars.
**The Loft** creates a cozy hideaway perfect for different generations or friends seeking their own space. A comfortable couch for 3, three armchairs, and a puzzle table with additional seating make this an ideal spot for quiet activities, reading, or simply escaping for a moment of solitude.
**The Entertainment-Packed Gameroom** spans most of the basement level and transforms any gathering into a celebration. Comfortable seating for 6-8 anchors the space, while an indoor putting green, air hockey table, ping pong table, and 60-game arcade ensure there's never a dull moment. Add in a dozen board games and puzzles, and you have entertainment options for every age and interest.
Four beautifully appointed bedrooms ensure everyone rests well after days filled with adventure and relaxation. Two king suites offer private retreats for couples, while an additional king bedroom and a room with two queens provide comfortable sleeping for up to 10 guests total. Each room has been thoughtfully designed with comfort in mind, featuring a peaceful mountain atmosphere that guarantees deep, restorative sleep.
High-speed WiFi keeps you connected when you choose to be, while 4 smart TVs with Roku offer entertainment options for every mood. But honestly, with views like these and spaces this inviting, you might find yourself forgetting about screens altogether.
Your days here unfold with a natural rhythm that feels both invigorating and deeply relaxing. Picture sunrise coffee on the front porch as the world awakens around you, followed by hot tub soaks with that impossible view stretching endlessly before you. Afternoons might bring game tournaments in the basement, puzzle-solving sessions in the loft, or simply hours of conversation on the back porch as you watch the light change across the mountains. Evenings are for watching the sunset paint the sky in brilliant colors, then stargazing from the hot tub as the valley below twinkles with distant lights.
Yet despite feeling completely removed from the world, you're surprisingly close to all the action. Just 18 minutes to Pigeon Forge puts you within easy reach of dinner shows, attractions, and shopping. Gatlinburg's charm is only 26 minutes away, while Wears Valley's scenic beauty is just 13 minutes down the mountain. The best of both worlds - total seclusion when you want it, and adventure when you're ready.
After more than 40 five-star reviews and repeat guests, we know what makes this place truly special. Yes, the view is unforgettable - but it's more than that. It's the feeling of having discovered your own private mountain kingdom where time slows down, stress melts away, and memories are made around every corner. It's the way families reconnect when they're not competing with the usual distractions. It's how friend groups find themselves talking late into the night on that magical back porch. It's the realization that sometimes the best vacation isn't about doing everything - it's about being somewhere so perfect that simply being there is enough.
