About this property

A Hideaway in the Tennessee Mountains - minutes from Dollywood

Description

Nestled in a beautiful corner of the Tennessee mountains, 'Cliffside Hideaway' is unique mountaintop log cabin experience! The glass front exterior and rustic mountain interior will make you say ‘wow!’ at first blush. The mountain top views are spectacular but don’t get too taken with the valley vistas because Smoky Mountain vacation memories are waiting to be made with Dollywood just a stone’s throw away. In fact, some nights you can see the Dollywood fireworks from our driveway or deck (consult Dollywood.com for schedule). Additionally, all of the other area’s biggest and best attractions are located close by. You will love a ‘Cliffside Hideaway’!





Outside, there is a wide porch with several rocking chairs perfect for casual conversations. When the sun goes down, retreat to the back porch and continue that convo in a soothing and relaxing hot tub. There is also a charcoal grill for your family grillmaster to fire up some steaks, burgers and dogs.



The living room: Comfy, cozy couches are waiting for you after a long day of play in Dollywood or Downtown Gatlinburg. The log cabin interior and bear-themed decor reminds you exactly where you are spending your perfect mountain vacation. A soft area rug ties the room together and compliments the natural hardwood floors. There is HDTV with premium cable and Blu-Ray hook-ups making for memorable family movie nights. We provide the following pay channels: HBOMax, Showtime, and The Movie Channel. Access to most streaming services is available (user credentials required). The cabin is also equipped with Wi-Fi for laptops and devices.



The dining room: a log dining room table seats six comfortably for meals with family and friends. Silverware, plates and glasses are provided. The table is also big enough for games, card or board, office work or a casual hangout. The dining room is open to both the living room and kitchen, making it the central gathering place for the cabin.



The kitchen: fully equipped with all the appliances and utensils you need to make breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is open to the dining room so you can be part of the fun while cooking for the group at the same time. A side door leads to the back porch and that relaxing hot tub.



Downstairs bedroom: a king-size bed awaits your weary bones and makes for a restful night sleep. A HDTV provides entertainment in the bedroom or, skip the tv and fall asleep to the crackling flames of the fireplace. An attached bathroom with a stand-up shower is convenient and private.



Upstairs loft: at the top of a spiral staircase, you’ll find another sleeping area with a king-sized bed and adjacent bathroom with a shower/tub combo. Nearby, a jacuzzi tub soothes the aches and pains of the day away and is the perfect place to unwind. Challenge the kids to a friendly (or ultra-competitive) game of eight ball on the upstairs pool table. Or head to the cozy balcony for another vantage point for those spectacular sunset views.



Additionally, we personally ensure that the cabin is cleaned and properly maintained so that your stay will be as comfortable as possible.

About the neighborhood



We are conveniently located just minutes from all area attractions. At ‘Cliffside Hideaway’ you and your group are only:



4 miles from Dollywood

5 miles from Pigeon Forge

8 miles from the Great Smoky Mountains Arts and Crafts Community

10 miles from Downtown Gatlinburg

13 miles from the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park

40 miles from Downtown Knoxville



The cabin sits atop the mountain 2 miles from the main road. The road to the cabin is winding but plenty wide enough for 2 vehicles to pass. Cars, trucks and motorcycles will have no problem making the climb up the mountain. Please consider your own personal comfort zone with mountain roads before booking. We are at the top of a mountain and the road is steep an windy. But once you get to the top, the views are spectacular.



The wildlife atop the mountain is abundant. Birds, raccoons and squirrels are active and occasionally a bear or two will wander by ‘Cliffside Hideway’. Please be careful with your food or trash. The bears are smart, hungry and always on the look out for food.

- great family get away

Cabin was cutely decorated and neat. We enjoyed the pool table, grill, and hot tub. It had just what we needed and allowed us some R&R. We were thrilled to see bears the first day there. My youngest child has been asking when we can go back to that cabin!

great weekend

We loved the cabin and total atmosphere of the location. Out teenage boys enjoyed the loft room and their own balcony. The fireplace made for a very cozy night and loved that it shared the bedroom wall. The cabin was very clean and we would come back again and have already told friends and family about how nice it was.

Well kept and nice location

To start with the host was accommodating to our request of early check in, even though we made it only on time. The cabin was very clean and secluded. The driveway was large enough for 2 vehicles. This unit is on top of the hill and has amazing views as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay for the weekend.

Great Cabin!

Cabin was exactly as described. Very clean and every thing worked except the ice maker. Towels, etc were of better quality as we have experienced in other cabins in the area. Would definitely recommend this cabin to others. Owners were great to work with. No surprises and internet was extremely fast.

Fantastic Vacation!

We had a wonderful time at Cliffside Hideaway - the cabin was clean, comfortable and the location was perfect. The second evening we saw three little bear cubs come running & tumbling down the mountain side, just feet away from the windows! We enjoyed GSMNP, white-water rafting in Hartford on the Pigeon River, horse-back riding and the Wild Deer Park in Sevierville, exploring Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge, and of course, Dollywood. We can't wait to come back.

Top quality cabin

Cabin was clean, comfortable, and really allowed my family to get away from reality for our time there. We were there for New Year's Eve and we went out on the balcony and could hear everyone from cabins around us shouting Happy New Year to each other in the dark. Was a truly unique, magical time. The view was beautiful both day and night and the skies were so clear we saw a shooting star on the first night while soaking in the hot tub.

AWESOME Place!!!

We stayed here as a weekend getaway to relax and de-stress and could not have asked for a better place! The cabin (at least for two) was roomy yet cozy and well appointed and furnished. The bed upstairs has an awesome mattress! Everything is maintained and super clean when we arrived. The view from upstairs is pretty awesome. Parking is ample and the kitchen had everything we needed to make a couple amazing meals. We have stayed in several cabins of this size and this is by far our favorite and barring scheduling issues will be our go-to from now on!

Beautiful cabin, nice place to stay. Quiet for the most part, other than the raccoons playing on the roof. 5 Stars for the cleaning crew, who found the camera and turned it into the owner, and another 5 stars to the owners for shipping the camera back to us. Should we return to the Smokies, we will definitely stay here again!! Thank You for everything and for going out of your way to return the camera!!!!

Beautiful Cabin!

Beautiful, well-appointed cabin on the mountainside! Everything you need for a comfortable stay is there. Even though it was summer, we enjoyed the gas fireplace. Our boys loved the pool table and big jetted tub, and the beds were very comfortable. And the highlight, of course, was that within a half-hour of getting there, we spotted the bear right next door! Future travelers: follow the directions the homeowners have given you, NOT your phone's GPS :) The other way in to the cabin is very, very rough.

exceptional place

We loved the cabin. Did not like the road up but am a bit afraid of heights. It was all worth it when we got there. The view is awesome. Had my morning coffee on the upper deck. Was hoping to see a bear or two but none were there when we were. We chose to just stay in the cabin and grill for our anniversary. It was just so peaceful. Sitting in the hot tub in the morning and night was also super nice. We would for sure rent this cabin again if coming back to the area. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Dan & Julie

Cabin in the Clouds

From the time we pulled up into the driveway the cabin was breath taking. Once inside it only got better. Home away from home. Everything you will need is provided. The cabin was very clean & beautifully decorated. The view alone is worth renting this cabin. In the morning you feel like you are in a cloud. The peacefulness & sense of calm you get rocking on the porch & taking in the scenary to me is priceless. The cabin is so close to everything. Try the BBQ place at the bottom of the hill great food & cool décor fun was had not just by the kids but us adults too. Kelly & Tommy are fantastic to work with & super friendly. The whole family can't wait to enjoy the cabin in the clouds again. We will surely return on our next adventure to the Smokey Mountains. :)

Great Place for Family

We stayed October 6-11 and intended on touring Smoky Mountain park several days but just drove through because of the gov't shutdown. The cabin is fabulous with all the comforts of home plus whirlpools, which we do not have at our house. Our girls ages 12 and 13 loved the outside whirlpool along with the one located upstairs after spending our days touring the area. The kids played several rounds of pool. The beds are very comfortable especially after a tiring day of touring. Everything but the food is furnished and is more like a lodge than a cabin. We took advantage of the washer and dryer as we did not have to pack extra clothing for our trip. The cabin is located in a great location and only about 10-15 minutes from most attractions. Unfortunately we did not see any bears but did hear the raccoon's each night playing on the roof. The views of the valley below are amazing especially with the sunsets.

Save Yourself The Hassle and Book Elsewhere

My family was very excited to spend the past week exploring TN. We were in town for a baseball tournament and our entire team thought it would be fun to rent cabins near each other. We chose this particular cabin because the sleeping configuration would work well for our family. After an 8 hour drive, we arrived to the cabin. I went to pull the Queen sleeper sofa out to get it ready for my son. As I pulled it out, food, crayons and trash fell out. Then as I examined it closer the sheets and mattress were covered in urine. The urine went all the way through the bedding down to the sofa springs. I called the contact number on the booking and spoke with the host. She first suggested we cover the pee soak mattress with new sheets. I couldn’t believe that was suggested as a fix. I declined. She then said she ordered a replacement but it wouldn’t arrive until the end of our stay. She had an air bed sent over. Halfway through the night, it deflated. It would only hold air for a few hours before needing to be refilled. It was super uncomfortable and disruptive. As if that wasn’t enough… literally all the bedding on the other beds were stained and had hair on them. We were so tired at that point that we stripped the beds and put them in the wash ourselves to ensure they were in fact sanitized. The washer sounds like something is broken. Very noisy. The biggest issue was the dryer. It never got warm and just seemed to blow room temp air. It took 4 dryer cycles to dry the sheets. We did call about the dryer as well and were told we had it on the wrong setting. That wasn’t the case as it never fully warmed up to a normal dry cycle. We counted on having a working washer/dryer as we needed to wash baseball clothes daily. We ended up having to use a friends washer/dryer. Overall, it was very clear this cabin was not maintained properly. The host seemed hassled to deal with any of it (even stating she was on vacation). I guess it didn’t occur to her we were also on one. The inches of dust hanging from the ceiling fans…. mold/mildew covering the air vents … dirty bedding… dirty floors… it was just disgusting. Our friends that rented nearby for similar prices had much cleaner spaces. They were shocked at the condition of this place. To top it off… the view that is advertised in the pics is now blocked by new construction. You will hear that construction around the clock… so there is no peaceful cabin vibe. We ended up leaving 2 days early.
