Beautiful Log Cabin on 20 private acres-Wifi -Hot Tub-Awesome Views

Soak up the awesome long range views from over 500 sq. ft of decking or watch magnificent sunsets from the outdoor hot tub at this three-level log cabin on 20 beautiful secluded acres in Black Forest.

Includes fully-furnished kitchen, BBQ grill, outdoor dining furniture on the deck, and picnic table near the firepit so you can dine overlooking the National Park.

Three bedrooms feature:
Bottom floor with TV, DVD player, and doors to outside should someone want to stay out late;
Main floor bedroom has patio door leading to hot tub deck, and convenient to kitchen for a midnight snack;
Upstairs bedroom includes a loft providing extra sitting room for reading or enjoying the view.
Each floor has its own bathroom adjacent to the bedrooms.

Get cozy by the stone fireplace in winter, stroll among blooming dogwoods in spring, immerse yourself in outdoor activities in summer, or be spellbound by stunningly colorful leaves in fall. Black Forest Retreat is a vacation you will never forget.

Remember we are in the heart of the mountains with narrow, winding, steep roads around. Not recommended for motorcycles.

Wonderful Thanksgiving Getaway

We were pleasantly surprised when arriving at the cabin- the pictures did not do it justice! The owners were so friendly and responsive to our messages leading up to our stay. The cabin was beautiful, clean, and had a well stocked kitchen for preparing meals. The views were gorgeous. We hope to be back! I do suggest an SUV or Truck for accessing the cabin.

Great for family getaway

We recently visited with our extended family and had a wonderful time. The views are great and can be enjoyed from the wrap around porch. The cabin layout was very comfortable and functional. We also made use of the hot tub. The drive up the road/driveway was not difficult, however I recommend trying to arrive before dark to navigate the first time in daylight. The cabin is located close to the Smoky Mountain Natl Park and we enjoyed some day trips there.

Great spot, wonderful value

We enjoyed the beautiful view and watched the sunset two nights. We have four kids who are ages 11 to 5, and they loved being able to sit outdoors and watch the hummingbirds. Lodge was clean and well stocked with everything from coffee filters to cutlery to hot tub towels. Great value. No trouble getting minivan up mountain or up driveway, just followed owner instructions.

Amazing Mountain Top View

Once you find the property & familiarize with the area you will enjoy it. Do not try to locate in the dark. We were trying to find in the day light & GPS tried to take us up the backside. It was not fun. We thoroughly enjoyed the property & would rent again.

Majestic Mountain Views

Wow…The location & views are amazing, no doubt, and we had an excellent time during our stay. However, the drive up is pretty scary(to those of us who are not used to the mountains) & I would stress that someone be an experienced driver & have vehicles that can handle the terrain of the unpaved roads. I would suggest this be stressed within the listing itself as well, so that people like us, coming all the way from (very flat) Florida are prepared for the harrowing journey up the mountain! Also, please make sure to read the instructions on how to find the place after you book, that is a little tricky as well. Communication was excellent & over all, I would highly recommend this place if you’re looking for spectacular Mountain View’s & serene surroundings! Once you figure it all out, it’s very worth it, despite the initial stress. Thank you for the opportunity to experience an unforgettable vacation!

Early autumn escape

What a great property, loved the location up the mountain, the solitude and the view. The place was very clean minus a couple of small items; there was a sock from a prior guest along with some old cereal I noticed under the recliner and the area under the beds could use some dusting/sweeping. I would still stay here, would just suggest that the cleaning people be a bit more thorough. Also there was a very strong smell of moth balls in the lower level that made it difficult to stay downstairs for very long. However, the evening views made up for it. So glad we stayed in the area and plan to again. The owners were very responsive to my questions. Thanks for the use of your place...
