The whole upstairs is a game loft. A Simpsons Pinball Party machine, a bar-size pool table, an arcade cabinet loaded with the classics, air hockey, a foosball table, poker chips, and a shelf of board games. There is a TV up there too, so nobody has to choose between the game and the film. A mini split keeps the whole floor cool in August.
“Hot tub, awesome arcade games, pool table, air hockey, board games, TV with Roku, kitchen with full wares, comfortable beds and couches, not to mention the view! Great price, great host, great time. We almost never left the cabin.” – Elizabeth, March 2022
That is not an unusual review for this cabin. It is the usual one.

THE SPACE
A two-storey log cabin in Gatlinburg Falls Resort, sleeping 8. Two king bedrooms and the living area downstairs; the game loft and the hot tub deck upstairs. The loft adds a queen sofa bed and a twin bunk. Two full bathrooms. The cabin suits families best, and six adults is the comfortable maximum.
THE DECKS
Step out from the game loft and the hot tub is right there on the covered upper deck, with the woods coming up to the rail. Beside it, seating for six under string lights, which is where the evening actually happens once the pool cues are back on the rack.
“The grandsons and son in law enjoyed the hot tub, which is upstairs on the covered porch.” – Rebecca, April 2022
Off the master bedroom there is a deck of its own with a swing. You reach it through the bedroom, which is exactly why it stays peaceful. It is the one place in a full cabin where you can take a coffee at seven in the morning and hear nothing but the trees.
ABOUT THE SETTING
The cabin sits among trees in a resort community rather than on a ridge, so you trade the sweeping panorama for quiet mornings, wide paved roads and a drive anyone can make. Great mountain views are a short walk away up the hill.
“Such a beautiful home and beautiful views and close to activities without being smack in the middle of chaos.” – Ashlynn, July 2026
GETTING HERE
Paved roads all the way in, no steep switchbacks, no sharp turns. A front-wheel-drive car with good tyres is fine in any season. Five minutes to the Gatlinburg strip, about fifteen to Pigeon Forge, and a short drive past downtown to the Sugarlands park entrance.
GUEST COMMENTS
“The game room is such a wonderful amenity and very enjoyable for the family… The mini split on the top floor does a wonderful job at keeping the second floor cool.” – Nathali, August 2026
“We would book this cabin every time we go to Gatlinburg from now on.” – Aja, March 2026
“My son asked me to book the same cabin when we come back.” – Heather, June 2026
GOOD TO KNOW
– The resort pool is open Memorial Day to Labor Day, 10 AM to 8 PM, and is included in your stay.
– Two decorative electric fireplaces, one in the living area and one in a bedroom, give flame effect only and produce no heat. Central heating and the upstairs mini split warm the cabin.
– The hot tub is cleaned and refilled between every guest, so it may not be at your preferred temperature on arrival. Please do not set it above 104F.
– The resort dumpster is down the hill, so taking the trash out means a short drive.
– Streaming apps need your own login. The Roku also carries 50+ free channels that need no account.
– Black bears are occasionally spotted in the resort. Enjoy them from a safe distance, keep food secured, and keep car windows up.
One exterior security camera overlooks the driveway and records video and audio — exterior only. Smoke alarm, carbon monoxide alarm, and fire extinguisher on site.
