About this property

Sweeping Mountain Views, Propane Fire Pit. Minutes to Nat’l Park.

Your perfect Smoky Mountain vacation awaits at A Step Above. The cabin is situated high on Cove Mountain which provides views that will take your breath away. We are located in Wears Valley, just minutes to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance (Metcalf Bottoms entrance). The cabin sits on a 3.5 acre lot, so there are no cabins directly beside or below.

The cabin is over 3,600 square feet, so you have plenty of space to spread out. The main level features a large family/dining area with 2-story ceilings and 180-degree views of the mountains and valley. There is a natural stone gas fireplace in the main living area. The fully equipped kitchen is spacious and features brand new Kitchen Aid stainless appliances (with a double oven), granite countertops, and plenty of cabinet space to store your groceries. The Master suite features a his/hers closet and attached bath with garden tub, shower and double vanity.

Just outside the main living area you can step down off the deck onto a custom stone patio and propane fire pit. There is seating for eight, and the hot tub is adjacent to the patio. This feature was custom built in Sept. 2023. The fire pit provides heat and cozy ambiance, but is not for cooking s'mores or food of any kind. Sit back, relax and enjoy the sweeping mountain views.

The deck wraps around the main level and boasts 180-degree views of the mountains and valley. There is a porch swing and six rocking chairs to enjoy the mountain air and views.

The loft level features an open seating area with two plush swivel rockers & ottomans, a TV, and gorgeous mountain views. Off the loft seating area, there is a Queen bedroom with vaulted ceilings, a full bath, and a bedroom with two twin beds, also with vaulted ceilings.

The lower level has a comfy TV seating area with a recliner sofa and two plush recliners. A gas fireplace adds warmth and ambiance. There is a pool table and game table, and a cabinet full of board and card games. There is a queen bedroom, a full bath and laundry room on this level. The movie room features eight theater seats and a large wall mounted television & sound bar for watching movies, shows and games.

We feature the fastest internet available in the area. It's a premium business class speed, perfect for working remotely/virtual school. We provide streaming services free of charge, including Hulu Live (which also includes all the basic "cable" channels you are accustomed to at home), Disney + and ESPN + content, as well as free Netflix.

We are just 10 miles from the Parkway (Pigeon Forge), and only 14 miles from downtown Gatlinburg traveling through the National Park. The National Park entrance is just minutes from the cabin, via Line Springs Road, at the Metcalf Bottoms park entrance. From there, you can navigate easily to Gatlinburg or Cades Cove. You have access to all the area attractions while in a peaceful, private and serene setting.

See our cancellation policy for full refund/timeframe details. We do strongly encourage you to consider purchasing travel insurance, to assist you in unforeseen circumstances, and to protect your vacation investment. Please note: general travel insurance does not always cover all situations, including Covid-19. You can find “CFAR” policies (Cancel For Any Reason), which can be added onto most any travel insurance policy. There are several options and you can most surely find one that fits your needs and budget. Simply search google for “CFAR travel insurance” and you will find several websites and policy options available to you. You are sure to find one that fits your needs. **THE CONTENT ABOVE IS PROVIDED BY THE OWNER/MANAGER.

Beautiful views and very clean!

This cabin is truly A Step Above. The views were even better in person and we loved the beautiful sunsets. The cabin was very clean and we enjoyed the cozy feel. We had fun in the hot tub and playing pool. The host was very attentive and quick to respond. This is by far the best cabin we have stayed at. Looking forward to coming back again. We would definitely recommend coming here.

Beautiful Property and wonderful host

We stayed here for a little quiet getaway and the house is beautiful, well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The cabin is in a great location and the views are beautiful. Michele was the sweetest with checking in and making sure we were safe when we got some snow and gave us advice on not going down the mountain when it’s snowed. Will definitely be back she was a fantastic host.

Can not say enough about this property or the owner! Amazing house, views, and owners! We staysled for a wk and loved it! Owner is readily available to answer questions we had. Views are amazing! Only suggestion when looking at this property is vehicle. We all had trucks/lg suv, but would not suggest a low_/small car as the drive up the hill is a little squirrelly..would definitely stay here again though!!!

This was by far the best house we have stayed in…and we have been coming for the last 20 years! This was a great place to hang out with our friends and enjoy the breathtaking views from this house!

Majestic Views

We took a family spring break trip to the Smokies and stayed at”A Step Above” cabin. Great location out of the hustle of Pigeon Forge with a scenic drive back to Wears Valley. Cabin is stunning and well kept. Michelle (the owner) was super and the views…..just magnetic. Make sure you have 4 wheel drive or mountain drive capability because it’s a steep climb up but it’s worth that view.

Incredible views

My family and I had an amazing time at the cabin. The view of the mountains is incredible, we also loved spending time around the firepit and in the hot tub. The cabin itself was clean and well stocked with kitchen and bathroom essentials. Also the location of the cabin is perfect, we were close to everything yet the the cabin gives u a very secluded feel. Would highly recommend, absolutely loved it.

Amazing

We were here for our family reunion 6 adults & a 2 year old. This cabin was amazing - so clean, the beds were comfy, the views, especially the sunsets were amazing, so much room in the cabin to spread out & not be on top of each other. The cabin was equipped with everything we needed. Location is great - close to Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg & the Smokies. We wish we could have stayed longer. We were always on the go and didn't get to use the firepit, play pool or watch a movie in the home theater. I have done lots of VRBO rentals and this is definitely #1 on my list and I would love to return in the fall and stay longer. I can only imagine what the view would be like with the foliage.

Great honeymoon getaway

My husband and I spent our honeymoon here and it was perfect. The cabin is spacious and peaceful and has a breathtaking view. When we arrived, Michelle had a gift waiting for us — matching Mr and Mrs mugs from a local potter. It was so thoughtful and such a special way to celebrate our trip. Hot tub was great, and the gas fire pit and fire places were very convenient and easy to use. Highly recommend for a getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle

Host profile image
Since 2012, Next Step Vacations has been providing an exceptional vacation rental experience in the Smoky Mountains, Southwest Florida, and Topsail Island, NC. As a family owned and operated business, we approach every reservation as if you were a member of our own family. Your comfort and satisfaction is the most important part of the rental process. We love helping travelers find the accommodations that meet their needs and exceed their expectations.

Your primary host is Michelle, who has dedicated herself to designing spaces that not only wow our guests, but anticipate their needs, and create a comfortable home away from home feel. Michelle's co-host, Julia, has been involved in the vacation rental space for many years, and brings extensive knowledge and experience, with a focus on guest satisfaction.

Why they chose this property

Unlike many rental cabin resort areas that have cabins 'right next door' A Step Above is situated on 3.5 private acres. It makes you feel secluded although you are close to all of the attractions and conveniences of the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area. The floor-to-ceiling windows allow for amazing views all day, with stunning sunset views.

What makes this property unique

Being located so close to the National Park entrance makes for easy access to all the Park has to offer. It's also a perk to drive through the National Park to get to downtown Gatlinburg. It's a 14-mile drive through the park, past the beautiful creeks and mountain views. You can avoid the Parkway traffic and stop lights and take the quiet scenic route. The appeal of Wears Valley is the true peacefulness you feel. It is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the tourist attractions, yet, they are all just a short drive away when you are looking for entertainment.
