Welcome to our professionally designed, breathtaking Smoky Mountain escape in Cosby, TN! This stunning vacation rental consists of 34 acres spanning from Cosby Creek all the way up to the peak of Harrison’s Knob (elev. 1798 ft) and boasts 7 bedrooms and 3.5 baths spread between two properties, providing plenty of space for your family or group to relax and unwind in the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains. Nestled in the Smokies, this property is truly unique! With over 4 miles of private hiking
trails, start your day with a lovely hike to the peak of Harrison’s knob – be sure to make a stop and snap a picture from the Summit Trail lookout!

Back at the cabin, everyone can relax and wind down around the outdoor bonfire pit to roast marshmallows and share stories. We do our best to harvest and chop wood from the property - please feel free to use any firewood you find! Cook up a delicious dinner on the gas grill and enjoy outdoor dining with mountain views. End your outdoor adventure with a relaxing dip in the new hot tub while taking in the breathtaking views of the Great Smoky Mountains.

Inside, the group can enjoy friendly competition in the pool table game room or unwind in the comfortable living room with smart TVs and high-speed internet throughout. With premium bedding and bunk beds for the kids, everyone can rest comfortably after a fun- filled day exploring the great outdoors. The separate carriage house offers additional space for privacy with a king bedroom, full bath, kitchenette, pool table, and a workout/yoga room with Smokies views.

The Smoky Mountains National Park is a must-see destination with its beautiful scenery and wildlife. You can hike on the park's many trails, go fishing in its streams, or take a scenic drive through the park to spot the abundant wildlife. We are conveniently located just 10 minutes from the Cosby Park entrance, allowing you to avoid the crowds at the main park entrance in Gatlinburg. 

In Gatlinburg, explore the unique shops and restaurants on the main strip or take a scenic gondola ride to the top of Anakeesta Mountain for even more stunning views. For an adrenaline rush, try out the Skybridge, the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in North America, or go whitewater rafting on the Pigeon River.

Q & A

-How is the drive to this cabin?
The drive to this cabin is steep and winding in areas. No 4 wheel drive necessary except during winter weather.

-How close to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg is this cabin?
This cabin is 20 miles from the parkway of Gatlinburg .

-How many vehicles will fit in the driveway?
We recommend bringing no more than 4 vehicles, of any size.

-Do I need to bring extra toilet paper, trash bags, paper towels, soap, etc?
YES… We provide 1 roll of toilet paper per restroom, one trash bag per trash can, 1 roll of paper towels in the kitchen. You are responsible for bringing your own extras. In this cabin, we also provide 18 towels and 14 wash clothes, 4 hand towels and dishwasher detergent. We do not provide shampoo, conditioner, lotions, laundry detergent, coffee or coffee filters, salt and pepper, charcoal for grills, daily maid service or flashlights/candles/matches (too often these items were taken home by guests so we stopped providing them).

-Is this cabin dog friendly?
NO… And we charge $500 when evidence of a dog/animal is found inside the unit.

-Can I use the fireplace year round?
No. Local fire codes restrict the use of fireplaces April through September and we take this very seriously.

-Will I encounter wildlife?
Possibly. Black bears are attracted to food, so DO NOT leave food in your vehicles or unaccompanied food on decks and porches and grills. If you want to go outside and there is a bear outside, make loud noises they will leave. If you pull up to your cabin and there is a bear in the yard, blow the horn. They will leave.

And remember, you are surrounded by flourishing nature and a national wildlife reserve, so it’s not unusual for small animals to be heard around the house or bugs to get into your cabin. We do a very good job of spotting and cleaning bugs before your arrival, but we cannot guarantee they won’t return, just as you can’t prevent 100% of bugs from entering your own home. Please be respectful of the fact that we don’t have total control over nature. Just call us, and we will send up wildlife management people or pest control to get rid of any small animals or bugs for you.

-Will the hot tub be clean for my arrival?
Absolutely. Every hot tub is emptied, cleaned and refilled between stays. In fact the water may still need time to heat up on the day of your arrival. Just keep the cover on the hot tub and turn on the jets, as this will heat the hot tub quicker. To keep your hot tub clean for the length of your stay, keep the cover on the hot tub when not using it and rinse off your skin in the shower before entering the hot tub. Unwashed skin will dirty a hot tub quickly, and we only drain & clean the hot tubs after check-out. If there is sediment in your hot tub upon check-in, it is because your cabin’s water comes from a well.

We loved the house - was perfect for our family. Very comfortable and had most everything we needed. Location was excellent. Views were outstanding. Would have given five stars but had a few issues that brought down the score a little. Dryer did not work - was replaced on Thursday but had to air-dry clothing as we had packed lightly as we planned to launder and reuse clothes. House was not vacuumed well - several hairballs on carpets (we sent pictures and then requested a broom/dustpan - which we did receive, and a working vacuum- which we did not receive --the vacuum downstairs did not pick up anything and there was a large pile of dust/debris in the corner of the laundry room). There was a hornet's nest in a bench that we did not know about until something (bear?) knocked down the bench by the firepit and dug out a hole and left scratches (I sent pictures) - when we tipped it upright, a swarm of hornets came out, stinging three of us (all adults, we got the kids into the house safely). The driveway needs to be graded - very rough ride. If we ever get back to the area, I would definitely look for availability in this house again - except for the issues above, we had a great time. Thank you!
