Welcome to A Sweet Retreat! And what a retreat it is indeed! Touching The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, our adorable 2 BD cabin (sleeps 6) is the ideal headquarters for your romantic get-a-way or family vacation. With spacious rooms, a hot tub, wood-burning fireplace, and national park views, you will never want to leave.

And from the front porch, you can gaze through the trees and into Wears Valley in the distance.

It is conveniently located near Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and Sevierville.The cupboard in the dining room was chock full of games and puzzles.Be sure to check out the many shops and eateries along Wears Valley Road. We especially enjoyed visiting with the folks at Bear Necessities while enjoying ice cream and pulled pork sliders."

We wanted to make iced tea but the only pitcher had detergent in it for the dishwasher. Microwave door sticks.

Another great feature is the hot tub, was wonderful after a day of walking or hiking, or just to relax. We loved the location, it’s not in my opinion to far from anything and very close to the park, yet far enough to be apart of the Smoky Mountains. Great stay would stay here again!"

"Away from it all - This cabin felt like home! Very cozy and decorated wonderfully. The cabin was clean and updated. Master bed was so comfy I could've moved in!!! There is not much of a yard. The mountain backs up to deck where we saw a bear daily. The bears seem to have routine and don't bother you at all. One cub even came right up to the door. It was the highlight of the trip! 🙂 Now the road to get up here is not for the faint of heart. It is a paved road, but in some spots there are drop offs without even a curb. Most of the road is fine and can fit two cars. Now mind you, I get nervous on these types of roads so it may seem fine to most, ha ha. There are two switchbacks that you need to maneuver. We were going up and down daily so for my husband it was not a big deal. Most of the roads in this area are like this, we are in the mountains. I would definitely stay again in spite of that road :). Host was fantastic, checked in on us. Overall...pick the cabin. You will not regret it!"

He proceeded to go over the little fence ( still close enough to touch him ) we made a run for it and got inside. Needless to say we never got to use the hot tub. Even with how grand the place was i would never go back there. Thise pirches with the hot tub needs a protective barrier.

Cabin looked exactly like the photos, it was clean and organized. We got firewood from a local vendor up the road. Hot tub was enjoyable, and both bedrooms were very comfortable. We came here to celebrate our fifth anniversary. It is rare that we want to come back to the same place twice, but this exceeded our expectations and we cannot wait to come back in warmer weather. The host was friendly and responsive but gave us our privacy. Check in and out was easy. Felt safe and secure the entire trip as well. Try the local food! Of course there's plenty in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge but the restaurants in Wears Valley are truly incredible. The burgers from Sloppy Hog up the road are delicious! PawPaw's Catfish Kitchen was perfect and only 5 minutes up the road. Try the fried pies across from Heavenly Roast!"

We didn’t realize that would not be provided for at least the first night, and it was too late to find it.

The towns and roads in the area were at best 2 stars! Because of some sort of car rally or show the area and roads were overrun with poor man’s Grand Prix cars and drivers. A temporary issue but enough that we are not likely to return."

"Safe and Amazing - I was on my way to NC for a week away stay in the mountains, but the hurricane came as I was on the way. It was a scramble to find something safe and peaceful while on the road on such short notice. This place was my saving grace. I was all but ready to leave to go home after being in a hotel a couple days, but I decided to look one more time, and this cabin was IT! The hosts were so kind and accommodating. Beat came by literally every morning. It wasn’t over crowded, and it was in just the right location to be away from it all but close enough if you needed to grab anything. It was exactly what I needed. I highly recommend this place and hope to go back again!"

"A sweet retreat for the family indeed! - This lodge is perfect for a family or friends retreat, or even a honeymoon for couples. Each morning you will wake up to a chorus of birds tweeting in the woods. Opening the curtains, rays of sunshine paint everything in the wood in lively, splendid colors. Open your door and sit by the front porch with a cup of joe, you will have the chance to observe some black bears wondering around. We are honored to have bears visiting each morning and evening. Don’t worry, there are a few other houses around and you are not on their diet. The house is located right by the national park and close to several trials of different levels of difficulty. The house is meticulously decorated to provide the vibe of “living in the woods.” Pack your favorite foods for the duration of the stay and enjoy!"

It is a good escape from the excitement of Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, but still fairly convenient (~25 min) to get into town and very close to one of the park entrance's. The cabin was clean and nicely equipped and the property manager was communicative and friendly."

Only a couple of miles off of Wear Valley Road. Great communication with property owner. Cabin was just as described, a “Sweet Retreat”. Would recommend."

"Great time - We had a great time during our stay. The location is really nice and within 30 minutes of all the local attractions. We had a little issue when we checked in, but it was taken care within a few hours. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The only thing that I wish we would’ve known beforehand was the fact that there are two additional cabins being built there. One right next to it. I understand this is out of the owners control and that’s why I still gave the rental a 5 star rating but if I would’ve known beforehand I would’ve booked somewhere else. While the workers where all very nice, they did start work very early and not stop until dark. Every day, including the weekend. So it definitely took away from the nice, quiet, peaceful, scenic, vacation that we planned for."

Customer Relations Representative
Thank you for stopping by, Robert! I'm glad to hear that the issue you encountered when you came was quickly fixed and that you found the house to be clean and well-equipped. Despite the construction, I appreciate you giving the rental a 5-star rating. I apologize for any disruption caused by the construction activity near your rental. I understand the need for a peaceful getaway and I apologize that this was not your experience. Thank you for bringing this to my attention; I will do my best to tell any future visitors about the construction work. Thank you for stopping by; we hope to see you again on your next visit to the Smokies.

I enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the mornings drinking coffee and reading. Even had a bear visit one night. The location is perfect with a short drive to the general store, cute coffee shop and food truck park. We definitely plan on returning."

"Peaceful Retreat - From the initial reservation to the follow up from the property owner, everything went flawlessly. First, if you want to spend most of your time in the park and avoid many of the crowds, this cabin is in the perfect spot. This property is located just off of the little used entrance from Wears Valley. There’s no need to drive into Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg traffic or to Townsend to visit GSMNP. It was very nice to avoid the gridlock of town. The cabin was wonderful with the national park almost in your backyard (including a visit from a bear one evening). The owner has spent a great deal of time and effort to ensure that you have everything you need for a pleasant stay. There is storage full of books, games and DVDs to pass the time if the weather isn’t cooperating and a well stocked kitchen if you want to have a meal in the beautiful dining room. We didn’t even have time to take advantage of all the amenities during our week long stay. While we didn’t try the hot tub on the back patio or the nearby swimming pool, they both looked to be well maintained. The driveway to the property was an adventure all it’s own. Be prepared for a few blind turns and shifty maneuvering as you traverse the hill to the cabin. My little car had no issues with the paved climb and I enjoyed it even more than the Alpine Coaster a few minutes away. When I return to the area, I will definitely try to stay at this cabin again."

"Perfect secluded getaway - The cabin was pleasantly situated far enough away from all of the noise yet close enough to be right there in the mix. The property had all the needed essentials to relax and enjoy nature. The rear deck hot tub was a great spot to unwind after a long day of walking and shopping. The beds were comfortable and the hole had a cozy mountain cabin feel. It was decorated tastefully with subtle inspirational gestures. Definitely would recommend this cabin to all. My Wife and I will be returning for sure"

"Cute cabin - It was a cute and clean cabin. We only stayed 2 nights, but wished we could have stayed longer. There was so much we wanted to do that we were just not able to get to. We didn't realize that surrounding areas had so much to offer. This cabin is prefectly nestled out of the hustle and bustle, but close enough to make it to pigeon forge and gatlinburg within 20 minutes. The home owners provided us with everything we needed to know about the rental before arrival. We truly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this cabin to our family and friends."

"Great cabin, perfect for R & R, a wonderful peaceful retreat. - The cabin was in a great location close to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge yet secluded. It was tastefully decorated, clean, and all around great. We were visited by bears each day... so keep that in mind if you have smaller kids. We loved it though, got to see nature up close. The property manager was available and responded quickly to any questions or concerns I had. We will be visiting again."

"Thank you for the opportunity to stay at your beautiful cabin. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Upon arrival to the cabin, on check-in, we walked into the cabin to check it out for a few minutes and as we walked back out to get our luggage, Mr. Bear greeted us in the driveway across the street. He was a spectacular sight to see as we kept our distance during his quick visit. This kicked off our stay exactly how we wanted it to. No issues with the cabin. It was very clean and comfortable and we were completely satisfied. Host, Justin, made the entire process smooth and efficient from booking to check-out. Would definitely recommend this cabin!"

"Smoky Mountains Cabin - The cabin was great. Good location and easy access to the park. Plenty of room for four adults. it was nice having a washer and dryer. All four of us washed our clothes so that we had no as much dirty laundry when we got home. There were two negative things. I go to church every Sunday, but too many pillows and wall hangings that mention God and Jesus. There was not enough toilet paper provided. The toilet paper rolls were small and there was only one spare roll. We needed to buy toilet paper because we ran out the second day."

Our time was cut short by a wild fire in the valley, but the owners were great about contacting us and working through our agenda changes (had to search for other accommodations due to state police evacuation). We will definitely visit this cabin and area again soon to finish our cut short trip. I highly recommend booking this rental!"
