This male bear came to visit me at the cabin. I call him Yogi.

Amazing cabin
We spent two incredible nights at the cabin, but wish we could have stayed forever! We decided not to do certain activites in the area, just so that we could spend as much time as possible relaxing...the hot tub got a good work out! If we're ever in the area again we'll definitely be staying here!

Cozy and unique in a great location
We stayed here for our first trip as a family and loved it! Great location very close to the national park and Gatlinburg but with a beautiful view. The cabin was very clean and comfortable with unique wood carvings my daughter loved looking at. We had all of the basics that we needed for a great stay and no problems at all.

Beautiful Mountain Escape
This is the coziest cabin with the most picturesque views. You couldn’t ask anything more if you are staying in the area! Situated between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, this cabin comes fully stocked with all the amenities you could need. There is a giant tub perfect for bathing young kids. The inside is clean and cozy- while the outside has 4 rockers overlooking the mountains. The hot tub is perfect for relaxing after a day full of hiking. During our stay we saw a bear right outside the cabin, a groundhog in the greenery below, and a bobcat crossing the street. So much wildlife! Pat was excellent at communicating from booking through our stay, we would absolutely love to come back and stay here again!

Beautiful cabin with everything you need!
Our family of 4 stayed here for a quick getaway before school starts! It was perfect! The cabin was spotless! We had plenty of blankets and very clear instructions. Plenty of dishes to make preparing meals easy! The bathroom was my favorite featuring a HUGE jetted tub and the most beautiful vanity. Beds were comfy and over the cabin was great! The owners were very responsive and accommodating. They were super kind! We spotted 1 baby bear that allowed us to watch him from the porch but didn’t stay long nor did he bother us! The road to access the cabin wasn’t bad at all! Cleared and wide enough that the kids weren’t scared! Definitely a great pick of cabins! We have already starting planning our next trip and hope to have the same host again!

Very clean and quiet
This cabin was exactly as listed, and exceptionally clean when we arrived. The cleaners did a wonderful job and we felt very comfortable as soon as we arrived. The drive up the mountain was easy (even for someone like me who had never driven up small, windy roads before). We did not see any bears at the property but did see lots of other animals at the cabin (rabbits, groundhogs, birds). We lucked out seeing bears everywhere else we went, though! We did the drive through Roaring Fork and highly recommend. We were traveling with a 7 year old who was not really excited about hiking, so the smaller options with that drive were perfect. We found a few small waterfalls and even saw a momma bear and cubs on our trip to Roaring Fork. Highly recommend this cabin; plenty of room for families and the large bathroom with laundry was greatly appreciated.

Blankenship vacation
I loved this place. Everything was clean, tidy and had all your basic needs upon arrival. They accommodated with towels and utensils for cooking. Overall getting to take in the scenery whilst enjoying the hot tub was fantastic. Great location too. Gatlinburg is just a few miles up the road with all the amazing attractions located along the strip. Our favorite was the hollywood car museum and also Bubba Gump Shrimp! Would recommend this cabin for anyone!

Made for a happy honeymoon
My fiancé and I both really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was just what we needed, a nice relaxing place for both of us to decompress from our normal lives as well as the ability to go and experience all that in the Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge areas had to offer. Everything was clean, Well kept and provided a great atmosphere to relax. We will hopefully be staying here again in the near future!

Lovely Spring visit
We completely enjoyed our time at Scenic Hideaway. The cabin was everything we expected and needed. We loved the views from the deck and were fortunate to see a wide variety of wildlife- including a bear and a bobcat! The location between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg is the area where we always like to stay. We would happily return to this cabin for vacation.

Honesty no review or even posted pictures can give this cabin its justice. The view is probably one of the best you will find. Extremely peaceful and quiet. The cabin exceeded my expectations by far.

About the host

Hosted by Pat Toner

Host profile image
We are Lisa and Pat Toner. We visited Gatlinburg when our 2 sons were younger. We loved the area so much that we bought our first cabin Scenic Hideaway. We have added Almost Heaven Cabins as our second venture into the cabin rental industry. We raised our sons on the Gatlinburg experience. They are men now. We hope that they will raise their families here as well. We are a family run business and are here to stay. Please give us a chance to show you our hospitality.

Why they chose this property

Perfectly located between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Scenic Hideaway is located about 2 minutes off the Spur (321/441), only 7 minutes to either town, or 10 minutes to Dollywood. As always, traffic permitting. You can either come up Cove Mountain Road, or Flat Branch Road. If you are going to Gatlinburg from the cabin, take the Spur and quickly get off at the Gatlinburg Bypass. This will take you to the far end of town and you can enter Gatlinburg from the lighter traffic side. If you are going to Pigeon Forge, take Flat Branch Road. This will allow you to enter the Spur after the tunnel and reduce the time traveling to Pigeon Forge. The less time spent on the Spur the better. This is why this area is best area to be in if you plan on spending time in both towns. This is the ultimate location.

What makes this property unique

Peacefully located off the Spur close to the Gatlinburg Welcome Center. This area is frequented by many bears, turkeys, deer and other wildlife. It is a great place to stroll around and take in all of the mountain air. The tranquility of sitting on the rocking chairs or the adult swing and looking at Mt. LeConte is refreshing. Life slows down and you can relax here.
