Mountain/Town Views, Private, Firepit, 1 mile to Pkwy, Above Dollywood, Hot Tub

Welcome to Thistle Britches Cabin!

Nestled atop Parrot Mountain on a secluded one-acre lot, Thistle Britches Cabin is your perfect Smoky Mountain getaway. With breathtaking views, unbeatable privacy, and a location just minutes from Dollywood, Splash Country, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg, this cabin offers the best of both worlds. Whether you're here to relax, explore, or even work remotely, this cabin provides the space and amenities to make your stay truly memorable.

Why Choose Thistle Britches Cabin?

Privacy and location make Thistle Britches truly unique. Unlike other cabins that feel more like neighborhoods, our property is surrounded by woodlands on three sides, providing you with a private, peaceful escape. Sitting at the highest elevation on Parrot Mountain, you’ll enjoy stunning, unobstructed views of the Smoky Mountains, the Pigeon Forge Strip, and, during winter, the ski slopes of Ober Gatlinburg.

Despite its privacy, the cabin is just minutes away from everything you want to explore. Dollywood and Splash Country are less than a mile away, and our back-road access ensures you avoid the main traffic routes while still reaching Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge quickly and easily.

As one guest put it, "It feels like a world away, but everything is so close. The views are incredible, and the privacy is unmatched."

Features That Make Your Stay Special

At Thistle Britches, we’ve designed every detail to make your visit comfortable and unforgettable.

Luxury Hot Tub

The hot tub is a favorite among guests, and it’s easy to see why. Featuring 56 jets, Bluetooth speakers, a subwoofer, and an LED waterfall, it’s the perfect place to unwind after a day of hiking or sightseeing. Whether you’re enjoying a quiet morning soak or relaxing under the stars while listening to Dollywood’s nightly fireworks, the hot tub adds a special touch to your stay.

One recent guest shared, "The hot tub was the highlight of our trip. It’s the perfect way to relax and take in the stunning views."

Entertainment for Everyone

No matter who you’re traveling with, the cabin offers plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained:
- Game Loft: Enjoy a game of pool, darts, or classic arcade games like Joust and Gauntlet.
- Media Room: Perfect for movie nights, featuring a large LED TV and two queen sleeper sofas.
- Smart TVs: Stream your favorite shows with Hulu Live, Netflix, Disney+, ESPN+, and Prime Video.

One guest noted, "The kids loved the media room while we enjoyed a quiet evening upstairs. It was perfect for everyone."

Fully Equipped Kitchen

Cooking for your group is a breeze with a well-stocked kitchen that includes black granite countertops, drip coffee pot, a Keurig coffee maker, crockpot, blender, and all the utensils and cookware you’ll need. Whether it’s a quick breakfast or a family dinner, the kitchen is ready for any meal.

One review said, "The kitchen had everything we needed, and we loved dining on the deck with those incredible views."

Remote Work Friendly

Need to get some work done? The main-level bedroom includes a dedicated workstation and high-speed WiFi, offering the perfect spot to stay productive while surrounded by nature.

Spacious and Comfortable

With two king bedrooms and three queen sleeper sofas, the cabin comfortably sleeps up to eight guests. Each floor offers a blend of privacy and shared space, making it ideal for families or groups.

A recent guest shared, "The layout worked perfectly for our group. Everyone had their own space, but we loved gathering together on the deck and around the fire pit."

Outdoor Amenities

The outdoor spaces at Thistle Britches are just as inviting as the interior:
- Deck: Start your day with coffee as the sun rises or end it with a glass of wine while watching the sunset.
- Fire Pit: Roast marshmallows, share stories, and soak in the fresh mountain air.
- Yard: The large, flat yard is a rare feature in mountain cabins and provides a great space for kids and pets to play.

"Our favorite memories were made sitting by the fire pit, watching the Dollywood fireworks," said one guest.

Perfectly Located

While the cabin feels like a private sanctuary, it’s just minutes from the area’s top attractions:
- Dollywood and Splash Country: Less than a mile away, making it easy to visit multiple times during your stay.
- Pigeon Forge: A quick drive to shopping, dining, and family-friendly activities along the Parkway.
- Gatlinburg: Explore this charming town and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
- Parrot Mountain: Just down the hill, this unique attraction lets you interact with tropical birds in a beautiful garden setting.

One family wrote, "The location couldn’t have been better. It’s so close to everything but feels completely private."
