Mountain Retreat 4BR Cabin w/ Hot Tub Near GSM Park

Experience breathtaking mountain views at Sunset Vista, a stunning cabin near the Great Smoky Mountains. With 4 private bedrooms, a loft bedroom, 3 bathrooms, a hot tub, and a pool table. Enjoy fall colors, bear sightings, and easy access to Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and the National Park. Perfect for nature lovers!

"After staying in cabins in the Smokies for over 20 years, we found that this was by far our most pleasant experience! The kitchen was stocked with absolutely anything you would want..including a slow cooker which was amazing! Literally we wanted for nothing.
The space was so comfortable and seemed even more roomy than it was..it was easy to be there for several days with 7 people. The attention to detail was incredible. Everything went above and well- beyond our expectations!
The beds were so comfortable, the TVs were the perfect size, the towels were so luxurious and all of the extras made it an absolutely wonderful vacation for our family.
We would love to visit again ❤️" - Oatis December 2022 Review

Spectacular views and baby bears!
The cabin was luxurious, well appointed and sparkling clean. The location was perfect just a short distance to all the sights yet you felt completely separated in the mountains. The view is stunning and we were visited by a momma bear and her cubs most mornings.

Beautiful cabin but be bear aware
Thai cabin is decorated beautifully and the host was very responsive to any needs we had. I do want to mention a few things to be mindful of. The kitchen is very small and the refrigerator is smaller than average. This was a problem as we had two families staying in the cabin. Also, pay attention to the bathroom descriptions. The bathroom upstairs is shared with a king bedroom and the queen loft-there is no shower in this bathroom so four bedrooms have to share one shower in the lower level. Lastly, be near aware. We had beers on our porches and on our cars multiple times a day even though we left no food outside and did not use the grill.

Most Amazing 4 Days Ever!!!
This cabin has far been the best we have ever stayed at on our yearly trips to Gatlinburg! We love going through the Cades Cove loop and this cabin is within 10 miles of it. It's secluded and has an amazing view! The rooms are beautiful and spacious! More than enough beds for the 8 of us who went. We had a mama bear and two cubs visit us one night. We also got to see the Northern Lights one night as well as the International Space Station fly over. We will definitely be booking this cabin in the future!

The property was absolutely amazing! The place was very clean and accurate to the pictures. The host was very accommodating and made sure we had a great stay. They had coffee, a box full of small items in case you forgot something, and a couple of small gifts that just helped make the stay even better! Very thoughtful and I was super pleased with our stay!

Gem of a cabin
Our little family of five had the most amazing getaway in this cabin! It was easy to get into GSMNP, as well as to drive to Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and other activities. The kids loved the game room and each of the little sleeping spaces. The back decks are amazing, and we all enjoyed the hot tub. We saw a black bear cruise by twice, which was exciting for us city folks. There were also fireflies at night! Kara was very communicative and helpful, and the property was lovely. I highly recommend this cabin!

Peaceful and Relaxing Cabin
We enjoyed staying at the cabin while on Spring Break visiting the GSMNP. It's location on the edge of Wears Valley was perfect as it was just a short drive to just about anywhere we wanted and needed to go. The location was very private and quiet and the hosts were very responsive and helpful. The cabin was super clean, well maintained, and very comfortable for a family of 6 adults and teens.

Cabin Between Townsend and Pigeon Forge
Well-furnished, with many nice touches; well-stocked kitchen. Kara responded promptly to get hot tub running. Boys enjoyed pool table despite limitations is space. Issues: Very little kitchen storage for non-perishables; doors covering laundry and pantry difficult to move;; a fine black dust falling onto the upstairs king bed; and a tricky doorknob lock in upstairs bathroom, that trapped more than one of us—knob needs replacing. Even so, we enjoyed seeing a bear and a couple deer, Cades Cove, Abrams Falls, Middle Prong trail, river rafting and lots of games. Thanks!

Relaxation on the Quiet Side
This was a great house for a group of college friends and families to gather near Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We loved the location for how close it was to the National Park. The kids swam in the river and asked to go back to the house when they were tired. The adults enjoyed catching up on the deck watching the sunset over the mountains. We would stay again if the opportunity ever presented itself.
