About this property

Pet-friendly retreat with tree-top views, a hot tub + an arcade loft!

Dew South really does have something for everyone. The two-bedroom log cabin, which can sleep up to eight people—and your four-legged best friend too!—includes an outdoor hot tub, an indoor jetted tub, a foosball table, an Xbox, a multi-game arcade, Wi-Fi, cable TV, and a huge porch. One thing’s for sure: When you stay here, you’ll never be bored!

Inside and out, Dew South looks exactly as you’d want a cabin in the Great Smoky Mountains to look. Settle into the rockers on the wraparound covered porch, look out over the treetops and you’ll immediately feel relaxed and reinvigorated. Take advantage of the view and the fresh mountain air by dining on the porch too, at the round wood table. And to truly immerse yourself in nature’s beauty, revel in the singing of the birds and the warmth of the sun while soaking in the porch’s hot tub—it doesn’t get better than this!

Inside, the wood-planked floor, walls, and vaulted ceiling gain extra luster from the sunshine streaming in through the large windows and, in winter, from the warm glow of the gas fireplace. The living area’s seating is plush and well cushioned: Stretch out with a book, or gather with friends and family to watch a movie on the flat-panel TV.

Another inviting gathering spot is the farmhouse dining table, which seats six. It’s located right beside the kitchen, so you can keep the cook company—or if you’re the one cooking, you can keep an eye on the kids in the living area, thanks to the open floor plan. Fully outfitted with appliances, gadgets, pots, pans, and tableware, the kitchen can accommodate just about all your culinary efforts, no matter how elaborate. There’s a dishwasher too, because nobody wants to scrub plates while on vacation.

Dew South makes a dreamy honeymoon cabin, not only because of the privacy and beauty of its environs but also thanks to its spacious bedroom. There’s a king-size bed, of course, along with a private bathroom and a large flat-panel TV. Best of all is the jetted tub. A long, steamy soak is sure to put you in the mood for romance…or at the very least, soothe your tired muscles after a day of hiking, fishing, skiing, or biking.

If you’re vacationing with kids, chances are they’ll spend most of their time upstairs, in the loft bedroom. Of course, you might be there right alongside them! When you’re not playing foosball, you can challenge the others to one of the 60-plus games on the arcade or play on the Xbox; along with 14 games, it has access to Xbox Live. Or, you can stretch out on the game room’s sofa and watch your favorite cable programs on the flat-panel TV, or get nice and comfy on one of the beanbag chairs with your tablet or a book.

The loft bedroom can sleep up to four guests with a set of bunk beds and a sofa that opens into a queen-size bed—you know the kids will be over the moon at the prospect of sleeping up here! There’s a full bathroom upstairs as well. And if you have additional overnight guests, the living room sofa downstairs also converts to a bed for two.

If you like to fish, you’re in luck: When you stay at Dew South, you have access to the community fishing pond. If you’d rather shop or gallery-hop, you’re in luck too, because the cabin is just minutes from the Gatlinburg Arts and Crafts Loop, an eight-mile trail of studios, galleries, and crafts shops. And no matter what your interests, you’ll love being less than 15 minutes from downtown Gatlinburg, with its restaurants and attractions ranging from an aquarium to mini golf.

See what we mean when we say you’ll never be bored at Dew South? There’s so much to see in the immediate vicinity and so much to do right in the cabin! So book your stay today, and get ready for your best vacation yet.

Nice location

Cabin could have been cleaner, door blinds made bad first impression. Carpets need attention. Rusted grill needs to be hauled away, nice location though, craft loop right down the road! This cabin is not for tall people, some lights and bedroom fan hang low. Overall ok but for the cost we’ll be staying elsewhere next time.

Great little place

This tiny cabin has everything you need to enjoy a stay in the mountains. We especially enjoyed the kids loft and the beautiful view from the porch. The beds and couch are comfortable and the kitchen is stocked well. There is a fantastic dog park 1.5 miles away if you need a place to play with your pets.

Location and view

Great location and view. Few items need some work. There was no in door trash can except small bathroom one, master bath shower doors wouldn’t stay on track and finally became so stuck could not move them, upstairs shower head needs cleaning or replacing as only a couple of the holes were not clogged creating a “power washer” effect. Correct those and I would rate higher

That view!!!!

My only real complaint is the microwave will not open all the way because of the fridge. This is a minor inconvenience. The mountain view you see in the photos is real! That’s what you see from the living room every day. It’s secluded enough, but close enough to everything (20-30 minutes from both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Gorge). A private deck on the back that can’t be accessed except from inside is a perfect place to enjoy a drink in the morning or evening.

Fun Time

This location is about 10 minutes or so from the town of Gatlinburg. The cabin had everything we needed, keep in mind you only get one of everything so for instance, if you need to use the dishwasher more than once, you will have to purchase dishwasher tabs, etc. I would also like to note, if you happen to bring dogs, there is virtually no yard as this location is on the side of the mountain so the terrain is quite steep. There is plenty of games available for the entire family which was a plus. We would definitely stay here again. The morning views are amazing!

The cabin is beautiful and being able to sit out on the back deck was amazing in the morning and evenings. Beds were comfortable. Kids enjoyed the Hot Tub and the video arcade machine. Great visit to the area and wonderful home to relax in after a busy day.

Lovely Time

The cabin had a beautiful view. Amenities were great. The jetted tub in the bedroom didn’t work at first, but when we let them know they serviced it the same day and got it working. There isn’t a fan in the downstairs bathroom, so there was some mold on the walls. I’m not sure about the upstairs bathroom. Overall a great place with a great view.

My wife and i enjoyed ourselves. Beautiful view and great location. My only negative is with the listing. It says sleeps 8. While yes, it would, but not comfortably. Would be cramped for 4 adults. In my opinion, it is a little deceiving.

Perfect location and view!

This was a great location for a family trip. There are a few things you should know to be prepared because we were not. I’ve never stayed at a rental property that is managed by a company and not the owner so that was new. It was very impersonal and I like somewhere that you can reach out to the owner directly. We were excited about having a hot tub - however, the hot tub at this property did not work. There is no extra toilet paper - so make sure you bring that with you. They have a coffee maker and leave you a few packets of coffee - no coffee filters. There are also no garbage bags so make sure you bring your own garbage bags as well. There are TV’s in every room but I’m not very advanced with technology so it took a minute to learn how to use the TV for my toddlers. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because I was really looking forward to soaking in the hot tub because we had been on the road for a week by the time we got to this property. I don’t really care about the garbage bags or toilet paper - it probably would have been better if it were easy to get into contact with people to get it the hot tub fixed but it happens. The location - absolutely perfect. Super close to downtown Gatlinburg and an easy drive to Pigeon Forge. Secluded and not in a busy part of town. Great views - a lot of room - it was the perfect spot for my husband, two kids and mother.

Perfect Weekend in Gatlinburg

We stayed two nights and had an amazing weekend. There were 5 of us that stayed at the house. Three upstairs and two on the main level. Definitely try to make it to the house before dark when you first arrive. Once you know where to go it isn't too bad getting there in the dark, but it would be difficult to find the house in the dark at first. The kids loved the arcade game. And tried to play the xbox, but weren't too familiar with how to play the system so they only played it a short time. We all had a great time in the hot tub. We even played the board game Monopoly too while enjoying the fireplace.

Perfect Location, But Was Dirty. We Were Disappointed.

I’m just gonna make it short and sweet. Our stay included me and my husband and our 4 children ages 10 mo, 3, 7, and 14. Things We LOVED: -The view. It’s FABULOUS -The Location: Perfectly placed between pigeon forge and Gatlinburg -The Game Room. Things We Were unhappy about: -The house sleeps well over 6 people and we had 3 towels and 2 washcloths. For 7 people. -The table had food all over it and clearly hadn’t been cleaned. Bowls and plates were put back in the cabinets with food still all over them. Gross. -The beds were all extremely worn and it was like sleeping on plywood. -The Hot Tub auto shuts off after 20 mins. And will not come back on for a number of hours. -The soaking tub in the master bedroom if you will, was absolutely gross. I was really looking forward to bathing in it and I took one look and didn’t touch it. The plug for the tub was covered in slimy gunk, and the tub had clearly not been cleaned at all. -There was a horrible sewage smell coming from one bathroom. We just avoided using it. -The fire pit is a lawsuit waiting to happen. It’s a nasty walk for any children no matter how graceful they are. Loose stones, and extremely steep. We enjoyed the view, but we wouldn’t use this property again just due to how dirty it was. There were food wrappers under the beds, and cup rings and food still all over the table and both nightstands. Super disappointed. It has so much potential.

Not exactly what I expected!

“Dew South” in Gatlinburg is an “ok” place to rent in the Gatlinburg area. I was impressed by the wonderful view and its proximity to both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The decor was nice and the cabin was adequately stocked and clean. Mgt responded quickly to a problem with the TV. However, the cabin is in extreme need of some TLC. It appears well worn and in need of a makeover. Do be careful navigating the concrete pad steps down to the fire pit. Definitely a safety hazard. I would suggest you hold on to the newly installed hand rail because if you step on the concrete pad a certain way you’re going to fall! It’s an ok place to stay but it could be an awesome place to stay!
