  • 🏔️ Step Inside Your Story

    🔼 Main Level — Where the Story Begins

    🚪 Entry & Living Room

    Cross the threshold into a warm, welcoming living room anchored by a **stunning stone fireplace** — the heartbeat of the cabin. Sink into comfortable seating, feel the warmth of the fire, and let the mountains outside your window remind you exactly where you are.

    🍳 Fully Equipped Kitchen

    Just steps from the living room, the **fully equipped kitchen** invites you to brew your morning coffee, prepare a hearty mountain breakfast, or uncork an evening bottle of wine. With both a **Keurig and standard coffeemaker**, every morning begins exactly the way you like it.

    🛏️ Primary Bedroom

    Retreat to the **main level primary bedroom** — a peaceful sanctuary dressed in **luxury linens** and thoughtful comfort. Rest deeply, wake slowly, and let the mountain morning greet you gently. The Renaissance Room

    Step through the doors onto your **private balcony** where the **bubbling hot tub** awaits beneath open skies. Breathe in the crisp mountain air, listen to the forest exhale, and soak in views that simply cannot be overstated. Morning, evening, or midnight — this balcony calls to you.

    🔽 Lower Level — Where the Fun Lives

    🛏️ Second Primary Suite

    Descend to the **lower level** and discover a second **spacious primary suite** — equally appointed and equally inviting. Perfect for guests, couples, or anyone who deserves their own private mountain sanctuary. The Elk Room

    🎮 Game Room

    The **forest-themed game room** is where laughter lives. Challenge your crew to a game of **pool**, battle it out at the **arcade game table**, and let the competitive spirit of the mountains take over. Rain or shine, this room never disappoints. The trundle pullout sleeps two.

    🧺 Laundry Room

    Practicality meets convenience with a **fully equipped in-unit laundry room** — complete with washer, dryer, iron, and ironing board. Stay as long as you like — we've got you covered.

    🌲 Lower Level Balcony

    A second **private balcony** on the lower level offers yet another invitation to pause, breathe, and absorb the stunning wooded surroundings that make Jackalopia truly unforgettable.

    🌿 Outdoor Living — Where Nature Welcomes You

    🔥 Fire Pit

    As evening settles over the mountains, gather around the **cozy outdoor fire pit** — where stories are shared, marshmallows are roasted, and the magic of the Smokies truly comes alive.

    On the Deck

    Rock gently on the deck** lined with **rockers and gliders**, as the forest performs its evening symphony just beyond the treeline.

    Charcoal BBQ

    Fire up the **charcoal BBQ** and let the mountain air season everything perfectly. Outdoor dining never tasted so good.

This cabin is perfect for a group, or a party of two. We loved our stay, and Virginia thought of everything to make our anniversary trip memorable. We loved relaxing in the hot tub after a long day of hiking. Close to everything, but far enough away to enjoy nature. We highly recommend booking your stay here.

Cabin was extremely clean. Beds were super comfortable and the room darkening curtains help greatly in the morning! Communication with host was easy via the app, and a call from host after checkin just to see if arrival went okay and if we needed anything was greatly appreciated. I would recommend bringing own fire wood in from a local place and charcoal for grill. Otherwise cabin had everything you need for a nice stay.

Cabin was beautiful and super clean. Beds were comfy. Hot tub on deck was great for relaxing after busy days out exploring the area. Beautiful view off the deck. Spent every morning drinking coffee on the deck watching the gorgeous sun rises. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals. Host was exceptional and very responsive. Cabin location had easy access to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.

Perfect Getaway Spot

This cabin was wonderful. It is secluded but not too far from town, and easy to find. It is so peaceful. The cabin was decorated beautifully, and very clean. The beds were very comfortable. My family would gladly stay here again.

Another wonderful vacation

We've enjoyed staying at Jackalopia for the past 4 years now! Every year we love the relaxing cabin. It's in such a great location, out of the busy areas of Gatlinburg, but close enough for a short drive to the GSM park, downtown Gatlinburg, and even Dollywood! Our family loves hanging out in the hot tub, playing arcade games, and just chilling out at the cabin.

Jackalopia

Property was perfect for our family! Clean, nicely decorated and supplied, good location to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge and grocery stores. Hot tub was clean and cozy at night. Saw quite a few bears one was able to get our car door open before we got the keys to lock it! We scared it away and it left peacefully, but definitely had to be aware of our surroundings coming and going to the cabin. It was a perfect weekend getaway, would definitely stay again!

The cabin was beautiful and clean. It looked exactly like the picture. The host was very responsive. It did get a little cold in the cabin , felt like air was blowing out of the vents instead of heat but my overall stay was excellent I will definitely visit again.

Would recommend

Virginia’s place was clean and well maintained. The decor was beautiful and honestly, the pictures do not do this beautiful property justice. It’s the little things that make a difference for me. It’s the first rental I’ve been in in a while that had a floor length mirror. Well stocked kitchen with clean cookware- no flakey teflon! That’s a huge plus! Virginia is very thorough and wants to make sure you have a great time at her rental. Would definitely recommend. However, I feel like her requesting a copy of my ID outside of VRBO was a little unnecessary just because of security reasons.

Host and cabin are great, the drive not so much.

I will start by saying, nothing was hidden about this drive being on the mountain. Just know that if you get nervous with roads that seem to only fit 1 vehicle, tight turns, and blind spots then just take this warning and hopefully you can be the passenger and not the driver. The host Virginia was super kind and communicated everything we needed and more. The cabin is beautiful and had great decor that went with the theme of the cabin. My 5 year old seemed to enjoy the 40 stairs from the grill area up to the main living space, my knees not so much. This was my kids first vacation and we made a lot of great memories on this trip. Booking this cabin left us with nothing but happiness. We will have to return for a chance to see the bears that others have seen on the property.

A Perfect Mountain Escape in Gatlinburg, Tennessee!

Our recent stay at this Gatlinburg cabin was nothing short of incredible! Virginia, the owner, made sure every detail was perfect, starting with the spotlessly clean and cozy cabin boasting breathtaking views. Virginia's communication was exceptional, starting five months before our stay to prepare us for the forecasted winter weather. Her proactive updates continued throughout our stay, from allowing an early check-in to informing us about the well-sanitized and warm hot tub. The game room on the bottom floor was a highlight, featuring a fantastic pool table and an arcade machine that provided endless entertainment. It added an extra layer of enjoyment to our evenings in the cabin. The cabin's prime location made it easy to access Gatlinburg's attractions, and Virginia's thoughtful touches, like hotel-sized toiletries and a well-stocked kitchen, made our stay even more enjoyable. We wholeheartedly recommend this cabin for an unforgettable mountain escape. We can't wait to return!

This was our 5th year at this cabin, and we'll be back again next year! We absolutely love secluded feeling while being so close to Gatlinburg. We love hanging out at the cabin, playing video games, board games, and hanging out in the hot tub. And we love the short drive to the park for hikes and picnics.
