It feels like you're on your own private mountain! We hear from guests that this is the perfect spot to get some relaxing quality time with the family, and couldn't agree more. Come and stay with us. You'll see. It's a completely different experience from staying in a condo or hotel on the strip. And unlike so many other cabins, you'll have complete privacy! When you step outside on the porch with your morning coffee, the first thing you'll notice is how quiet it is—except for the sounds of nature. Our cabin has been made to feel like your mountain home away from home, and offers a large space for backyard fun with fire pit, seating, and more. Located right at the start of the Arts & Crafts loop. IMPORTANT NOTE: Please be aware that there is a STEEP driveway to get up to the cabin (but trust us, the peace & quiet is worth it). You're in a mountain town and it's going to feel like it, so embrace the experience! :) Once at the top, there is a large flat backyard and parking area that can accommodate 3 cars. While it's not necessary to have 4-wheel-drive to get up the driveway, low clearance vehicles are not recommended. There is not space at the bottom to park. Please message us if you have any concerns about the driveway. We're happy to chat about it. Our cabin is 3br, 2ba, with a large dining room, fully equipped kitchen, and open entertaining area with wood-burning fireplace. Each bathroom was remodeled recently has a shower and storage space. The living room and all bedrooms have TVs with Roku for streaming (Disney+, Netflix, Prime are included—no need to login), and the cabin is equipped with high speed wireless internet, plus a landline phone. All bedrooms have extra blankets and pillows available. There is a selection of board games, DVDs, and books in the living room chest. You'll find no shortage of extra blankets, pillows, and towels. Gather inside to play some games, or make a fire in the outdoor fire pit and roast some marshmallows. We have outdoor games like cornhole, big jenga, and bocce available. We think the backyard is what really makes this cabin so much fun. The cabin is ridiculously close to all the attractions. It is situated right on the Arts & Crafts Trail, which is an 8-mile loop of hundreds of local artists. It's our favorite way to spend a day. Beyond that, it's just 8 minutes to downtown Gatlinburg, 12 mins to the entrance of Great Smoky Mountain National Park, 25 minutes to Pigeon Forge and Dollywood, and so much more. You're going to love this location. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Close to skiing - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Netflix - Smart TV - Streaming services - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Wheelchair accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Phone ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping mall ### Things to do - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rafting nearby - Sledding nearby - Theme park nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### 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) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,325 square feet ## Similar properties ![](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18960000/18955300/18955237/w2790h1436x0y10-6b8baa9b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 4 BR 4 BA Auth Log Cabin 10 min from Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge Gatlinburg - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 188 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-20&endDate=2025-11-21&selected=18955237&PinnedHotelID=18955237&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/74000000/73980000/73973000/73972998/a4a8f7c7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Queen of the Hills, The Perfect Cabin!
