The Gatlinburg Ripley's also features mini golf, haunted adventures, mirror maze, a moving theater, a fun zone and, of course, the famous Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum. Gatlinburg is also known for its Golf, specialty shops, restaurants, Whitewater Rafting, biking, hiking, and Canopy zip lines.

Here you can enjoy a day at Dollywood. Or one of the many other activities found in Pigeon Forge, such as water parks, Titanic Museum, Wonder Works, Magic Quest, miniature golf, go karts, fairs, dinner theater shows, shopping outlets, and pancake houses galore.

Bears Escape Cabin is a great location to try out Dollywood — rides that go 60 mph through four inversions and a zero-gravity roll. Of course, the 200-foot-high coaster’s cars are built to look like the national bird. Wonderful Country shows and music. Great restaurants and shopping.

Some of our favorite hikes are:
Mingo Falls
Mingo Falls is on the Cherokee Indian Reservation (Qualla Boundary), just outside Great Smoky Mountains National Park. No special permits are required for access to the reservation. At 120 feet tall, the waterfall is one of the tallest and most spectacular in the southern Appalachians. The hike to the waterfall is only 0.4 miles in length, but is considered moderate in difficulty. Access Trail: Pigeon Creek Trail Trailhead: From Oconaluftee Visitor Center, drive south (toward Cherokee) on US-441 and take the second left onto Big Cove Road. At the first stop sign turn left and drive 4.5 miles to Mingo Falls Campground, where the trail begins.
Juney Whank Falls
Juney Whank Falls is divided into an upper and lower section. Both can be viewed from the footbridge which crosses Juney Whank Branch at the falls. Together they drop 90 feet from top to bottom. The trail to the waterfall is 0.8 miles roundtrip and is considered moderate in difficulty.
Grotto Falls
Trillium Gap Trail meanders through an old-growth hemlock forest and actually runs behind the 25 foot high waterfall. The cool, moist environment near the falls is ideal for salamanders and summer hikers. The hike is 3 miles roundtrip and considered moderate Trailhead: From the parkway in Gatlinburg, turn at traffic light #8 and follow Historic Nature Trail into Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Take Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail to stop #5 where there is a large parking area. This one is close and absolutely beautiful. I last hiked it with my 60 year old mother and 4 nieces and nephews ranging in age from 3-11 years old. We saw 3 bears at a distant, swam in the reflective pool of the falls, and had a fun-filled day without over doing it.

Pets must be pre-approved based on age, weight, and breed. Pet fee applies.

If you bring unauthorized pets into the cabin, will result in an early check out required. All pets must be disclosed and approved prior to booking.

Weekend Getaway

This is the perfect location for a family weekend get away. It feels seccluded in the woods but is a short drive from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. It is cute and clean. We had the two of us and two kids. The games down stairs and hot tub were a hit. Host very helpful with getting our reservation done through the site.

Romance Heaven

This cabin has the most spectacular design and the location is perfect. Great place to unplug and reconnect. It was the romance that we were looking for. The cabin was so clean and open with a nice view of pretty wildlife and the mountain side. The kitchen is the most well-stocked of any cabin that we have ever rented. The whole place was designed for comfort, fun and romance so we had everything we could've needed at our disposal without leaving the cabin. We would recommend going to Anastasia and eating at the clifftop restaurant.

Perfect Couples Getaway

We really enjoyed every bit of our stay and found this cabin to be perfect for us! The cabin was very clean including the hot tub. The location is great with less than 10 minutes to Gatlinburg and about 15 to Pigeon Forge with traffic. We had a couple minor issues but the host was quick to respond and address everything. For those curious about the WiFi, my wife and I both worked for multiple days with video conferencing and the WiFi was able to meet our needs! I recommend this place for any couple looking to getaway!

Great time!

We had a great time and enjoyed our stay here. It’s a perfect location, very clean, and quiet. We brought a blow up mattress for one of my kiddos to sleep on and the other slept on the couch and they did just fine (ages 9 & 11). Host was very responsive and I loved The hot tub and kids loved the game room. My husband and I said We would definitely stay there again. Anakeesta was our favorite and wish we would have eaten dinner there. Great time!!
