Another great stay

This is our third year staying at this cabin, and we'll be back again next year! We love being so close to Gatlinburg and the park, while also being able to escape from some of the crowds. The cabin is wonderful and the host always ensures we enjoy our stay.

The cabin was very clean and organized

The cabin was beautiful and clean. It looked exactly like the picture. The host was very responsive. It did get a little cold in the cabin , felt like air was blowing out of the vents instead of heat but my overall stay was excellent I will definitely visit again.

Host and cabin are great, the drive not so much.

I will start by saying, nothing was hidden about this drive being on the mountain. Just know that if you get nervous with roads that seem to only fit 1 vehicle, tight turns, and blind spots then just take this warning and hopefully you can be the passenger and not the driver. The host Virginia was super kind and communicated everything we needed and more. The cabin is beautiful and had great decor that went with the theme of the cabin. My 5 year old seemed to enjoy the 40 stairs from the grill area up to the main living space, my knees not so much. This was my kids first vacation and we made a lot of great memories on this trip. Booking this cabin left us with nothing but happiness. We will have to return for a chance to see the bears that others have seen on the property.

Private and cute!

Best decorated and clean cabin we’ve stayed in . Top notch appliances. Only negative is our check in code did not work upon arrival and we had to make phone call to rectify but it was handled quickly. We loved the privacy never stayed in this area before. Little out of town and crooked steep road to cabin but definitely worth it! Definitely would stay here again.

Beautiful Winter Views

This cabin is first class and the views are awesome. We rolled the dice and stayed here in the winter and had the unfortunate outcome of record lows that interrupted travel and froze many water lines in the area. Despite that we thoroughly enjoyed this cabin and commend the owner for being a most gracious host.

Would recommend

Virginia’s place was clean and well maintained. The decor was beautiful and honestly, the pictures do not do this beautiful property justice. It’s the little things that make a difference for me. It’s the first rental I’ve been in in a while that had a floor length mirror. Well stocked kitchen with clean cookware- no flakey teflon! That’s a huge plus! Virginia is very thorough and wants to make sure you have a great time at her rental. Would definitely recommend. However, I feel like her requesting a copy of my ID outside of VRBO was a little unnecessary just because of security reasons.

A Perfect Mountain Escape in Gatlinburg, Tennessee!

Our recent stay at this Gatlinburg cabin was nothing short of incredible! Virginia, the owner, made sure every detail was perfect, starting with the spotlessly clean and cozy cabin boasting breathtaking views. Virginia's communication was exceptional, starting five months before our stay to prepare us for the forecasted winter weather. Her proactive updates continued throughout our stay, from allowing an early check-in to informing us about the well-sanitized and warm hot tub. The game room on the bottom floor was a highlight, featuring a fantastic pool table and an arcade machine that provided endless entertainment. It added an extra layer of enjoyment to our evenings in the cabin. The cabin's prime location made it easy to access Gatlinburg's attractions, and Virginia's thoughtful touches, like hotel-sized toiletries and a well-stocked kitchen, made our stay even more enjoyable. We wholeheartedly recommend this cabin for an unforgettable mountain escape. We can't wait to return!

Perfect Stay. Will return!

This was the ideal combination of secluded but yet not too far from Gatlinburg downtown. Its an easy climb up. You really dont need a 4x4. I got ubereats to deliver one night when it was raining hard, but there was no problem with the delivery. The cottage itself is very cozy, with everything you need. We had a great time in the hot tub, played pool and also cooked dinner during our stay. Enough beds for 6. The view from the hottub is breathtaking. We even saw a bear walk by trying to check out the trash cans. All smart TVs through out the house made it very easy for kids to watch their own shows. The owner was very responsive throughout. We had trouble with the lock upon getting there. But this was resolved quickly. Overall, I would return to this cabin. This was a memorable family trip.

Our cabin is a labor of inspired creativity. The renaissance forest mysteries and legends are the elements chosen for Jackalopia.

Why they chose this property

Jackalopia is brand new cabin with a nod to renaissance romance in forest theme suites. Located just minutes from the parkway, have the best of vacation getaways. Seasonal décor in luxurious setting. All things modern in the kitchen too. Coffee at sunrise on the deck or from the upper bedroom, moments to savor. Chance animal encounters too.

Stay in and stream your favorite show or play in the game room. Walk the neighborhood along our winding roads up and down. Not too much traffic since there are 20 cabin spread among the trees. At an altitude of 1900 ft, the air is clear and the leaves rustle on the trees.

Can you hear the steam locomotive Elizabeth? When the wind is right, you can hear the whistle. The parkway and all of glitz is only a short drive away.

It's amazing, tranquil, and private. Jackalopia - be inspired like us.
