Only those dogs that have specific and formal training as a SERVICE dog will be allowed in our cabins. Emotional support animals are not accepted. IMPORTANT: Out of respect for the holidays and our employees, we do NOT allow ANY check-ins or outs on Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day Check-In: \*3 pm - there is NO check-in office, you go straight to the cabin Check-Out: \*10 am - Please follow our checkout guidelines. Fireplaces: \*On During: October 1st - April 1st Common Concerns: \*Road Conditions: Some of our cabins are on steep, narrow, curvy, mountain roads. If you are concerned about road conditions to get to a cabin, please feel free to ask us! None of our cabins requires a 4-wheel drive under normal weather conditions, but some do in inclement weather. \*TV & WiFi: We do have TVs and WiFi in most of our cabins. There are times when heavy cloud cover, weather systems, mountains, or trees will cause problems with the signals. We always want our guests to have the comforts they want on vacation, but there are times we cannot control this problem. \*Pests & Wildlife: Here in the Smoky Mountains, we have lots of native bugs and wildlife. All of our cabins are treated for pests, but there are times you will find bugs or even have trouble with bugs. Fall/Winter is ladybug season in the Smokies, and these little buggers are attracted to heat, meaning your cabin and every other one out there that is warm! They will swarm to the cabin, and you'll probably see them alive/dead on windowsills, in vents, etc. Rest assured that your cabin has regular pest control and is professionally cleaned, including bug removal, before and after your stay. However, these bugs come back right away, and unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done about them until the season passes. Please never feed, taunt, or approach any wildlife. This is their home, and we are the visitors. \*There are no refunds for storms or power outages. If there is a power outage, there will be no water and potentially no heat. Storms can also make roads impassable, so if a storm is in the forecast during your reservation, come prepared with water and non-perishable food, etc. FEES: The management company of this cabin charges a $20 per stay Damage Waiver Fee to every customer. It is automatically included in your rate. This covers our guests for up to $350 worth of accidental damage should damage occur during their stay. If damage occurs to the cabin, furnishings, etc, please report it to management as soon as possible so that the damage can be repaired. You may opt out of paying the $20 damage waiver fee by putting down a $350 REFUNDABLE damage deposit. ✨ Peace of Mind & Travel Insurance: I want your stay to be stress-free and enjoyable. Please note that this home has a strict cancellation policy. Because life can be unpredictable, we encourage all guests to purchase travel insurance for extra peace of mind. This way, you can book with confidence knowing you’re protected no matter what comes up. This can be done at www.insuremytrip.com where you can pick the coverage that suits your situation. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Elevator - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In the mountains ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Unit size: 2,511 square feet ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78220000/78217500/78217473/2089d1b9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 3 Kings / Deck / Fireplace / 100Mbps / Games Games/ Parking/ Dollywood 5mi Sevierville - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.6 Exceptional 47 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-06&endDate=2026-02-07&selected=78217473&PinnedHotelID=78217473&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/43000000/42600000/42598500/42598444/89e88342.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Bear Elegance - Theater Room, Secluded, Heart Shaped Tub!!!

The views were amazing. The decor was fun. Comfy beds and furniture. Great porches for sitting and listening to the birds. We had several bears, a coyote, and a deer visit. The location was great as we went to Cades Cove a couple times, Gatlinburg, and Pigeon Forge. It’s away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to all the attractions. There are a fair amount of steps throughout the house. The elevator was out during our stay but that couldn’t be helped and you are in the mountains. The addition that is being added looks amazing and will take care of the narrow dining room. We highly recommend this home and would definitely stay again! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/68e090a1-8fb8-401f-a85f-7de17541f470-1750592437429.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4d62b5c7-11aa-4c20-a3df-c615ea727224-1750592436919.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2ff49254-744d-4fec-b0d2-a77cefca73b6-1750592436759.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c5658523-6992-4546-9d10-b2a9f3880030-1750592435945.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kim B.

Dec 31, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Christmas Break at Shady Maples Lodge We were booked to arrive on 12/26\. However, the storm of the decade said "no". On the evening of our arrival the area received several inches of snow making travel to just about anywhere impossible. The road to the cabin was impassible unless one had a tank. We ended up in several local hotels. On the 27th we were able to make it up the roads to the gorgeous cabin. It was very clean, warm, and complete with amenities as advertised. It's located close to Smokey Mountain NP and allowed for easy access to several hiking trails, waterfalls and Cades Cove. Pigeons Forge and Gatlinburg were within 40 minutes. The week between Christmas and New Years Day was very busy. Gatlinburg and Cades Cove were crowded. Great cabin! Thanks. ##### Dan W.

This was a beautiful location with the most outstanding view of the sunrise in the morning. Ideal location to go into GSMNP or Cades Cove, Wears Valley, or even in town to Maryville. The location truly is the peaceful side of the Smokies... pace is so much better than Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, and Gatlinburg. Recommend Dancing Bear for coffee at Apple Valley. Elvira's in Wears Valley for lunch/dinner. Mountain Brothers General Store is our favorite for shopping. Davy Crockett for horseback riding in Townsend too. Enjoy your time & unwind! ##### Denise C.

Aug 15, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great views and lovely property We really enjoyed our stay at Shady Maples Lodge! The house is comfortable and well-appointed. We had plenty of space to spread out. A favorite spot was the screened porch on the lower level - and the hot tub, of course. The day we wanted to go to the pool, it was unexpectedly closed, so we weren't able to check that out, but it's nice that it is an option for guests. The location is beautiful, though the road to and from the house is not for the faint of heart. We got the hang of it after a couple trips, and it didn't detract from our enjoyment of the house at all, but it did make it feel like more of a production to go anywhere because of the steep, winding road we had to traverse to get down to town. People accustomed to the mountains would probably not bat an eye, but it took some getting used to for my Midwest crew. All in all, it was a great spot with thoughtful touches and evidence of the owners' care throughout. We would definitely go back. ##### Veronica L.

Our family of 10 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Shady Maples Lodge! If you're looking for a secluded, beautiful, comfortable vacation home, this is the place! Only one more home beyond this one on a dead end street. We were able to see bears on the property several times in our week long stay. No traffic, very quiet and private. Enjoyed eating meals on the deck, as well as the hot tub and fire pit every evening. The house was generally very clean, with the exception of the carpet upstairs, which shows evidence of much use by many vacationers! But not bad enough to hinder our enjoyment of the home. Have to drive 45 minutes to get to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, but nearby Townsend has several opportunities for fun, as well as the pool, which is available to Shady Maples Lodge guests. The drive into Gatlinburg was worth it to us in order to have this beautiful, secluded setting. Thank you for sharing your home with us! ##### Judith S.

The house is beautiful as well is the view from the front porch. I really enjoyed the fire pit at night looking up and viewing the stars. It was a quiet and relaxing place for vacation. Wish we could have seen a bear. ##### Jon Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Helen B. Oct 4, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Beautiful view eclipsed every thing that wasnt perfect This property was in a great location with a lively view. Down side was a hoard of hornets every evening on the front (view) deck and several that we had to shoo outside. And no ice maker with no notice of no ice for miles. We had a wonderful time though with great mattresses in every room and lots of area around the cabin for the kids to fund critters on a dead end street. Weighing? Go with renting if they can let you know that the very aggressive hornets have been eradicated. ##### Helen B. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert H.

It was a nice gated neighborhood and at the end of a road so not much other traffic at all. Very secluded and quiet! The cabin was very nice and clean. Everything in the cabin worked as it should.

Location is excellent if you like to go to Cades Cove and stay away from the crowds of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Cabin has a fantastic view and nice new front porch. We even had a visit from a momma bear and her two cubs. Rental company was great to deal with and even worked with us to check in a little early. We will absolutely stay here again!

It would have been helpful to know the locations (floorwise) of the bedrooms as some of our family struggles with stairs, but the outside lift elevator helped. ##### Angela W.
