“What a Retreat” says it all! With over 3,200 sq ft of indoor space, and 2 large covered, screened decks, your family won’t feel cramped. There are plenty of spaces to discover privacy, yet the large Great Room and Kitchen allow everyone to gather in one area when inclined. Decorated with woodsy themed furnishings, the decor embraces the mountain escape feel that we all desire when visiting the Smokies.
Retreat from the hustle and bustle of sightseeing by taking a short climb to the top of a ridge where the cabin is nestled among the trees for privacy. Relax with a cup of coffee on one of the two oversized screened decks and experience the spectacular views of Cove Mountain! With over 3 acres surrounding the cabin (and backing another 90 undeveloped wooded acres), it feels like you're staying on your own private mountain top! During winter months, glimpses of Mt. LeConte and Bluff Mountain can also be seen! Pull up one of our rockers and submerge yourself in the sounds of the mountains in a very sheltered setting.
If stairs present an issue for any of your party, we have a WHEELCHAIR RAMP to provide ease of entrance to the main level of the cabin, as well as two King suites on the main level. The West bathroom has a lower threshold shower and a large open floor space to accommodate a wheelchair or walker for guests with mobility issues. The lower screened deck, with two King suites and Game Room are wheelchair accessible from the driveway.
The Great Room is complete with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace in the middle of a wall of windows, framing the wooded scenery and Cove Mountain. And there’s no need to struggle building or maintaining a fire – the fireplace is outfitted with gas logs for instant warmth and gratification. There is also a Queen sofa bed available!
The expansive, gourmet kitchen is a delight when preparing meals for a crowd! Cooks can easily work together without getting in each other’s space. Top of the line gas cooktop and oven make preparing meals a breeze. And a warming drawer keeps foods warm until mealtime! The HUGE dining room table seats 10 people comfortably for mealtime and connecting with friends and family!
The two King bedrooms on the main floor are separated by the Great Room and Kitchen, providing additional privacy for guests. Each bedroom has a 43” 4K QLED TV and a door leading directly to the screened deck. The West bedroom (with a King bed) boasts an oversized walk-in closet, and a private bathroom with a 4’ X 6’ shower stall and huge soaking tub.
On the East side of the cabin is a King bedroom, complete with a large, lighted closet, and a bathroom with a tub/shower combo and double vanity. The laundry room, also on this side of the cabin, contains a full-sized front-loading washer and dryer with plenty of room to hang and fold laundered clothes.
The lower level contains 2 King bedrooms with bathrooms, and a Game Room with comfortable seating for viewing the 75" Smart TV. An oversized bathroom contains a tub/shower combo and large double vanity, and dual access to one of the King bedrooms and the Game Room. The other King bedroom has a private full bathroom with a double vanity and tub/ shower combo.
For families that enjoy competing in games of skill, we offer a variety of challenges downstairs in the Game Room. Indoor games include a pool table, foosball, sit-down 2-player multi-arcade game, wall mounted Connect Four, chess/checkers, reversible card/poker table, card games, jigsaw puzzles, and board games galore. Outdoor entertainment includes cornhole, a wood-burning firepit, a walking trail, and more! With over 3 acres, the only limits for exploration are your imagination!
Family gatherings to watch a favorite TV show or movie can be enjoyed in the Great Room, which is outfitted with a 75” 4K QLED Smart TV with soundbar and Blu-ray player. Or enjoy your favorite game or movie on the 75” 4K QLED Smart TV in the Game Room while playing a game of pool or foosball.
For the grill master in the group, a large 6-burner gas grill is conveniently located just steps off the kitchen under the covered carport. The large, upper screened deck provides the perfect setting to avoid the insects and enjoy your culinary endeavors. Or enjoy your meal at the picnic table on the lower screened deck - then soothe your muscles and soak away your cares in the 6-person hot tub!
Last but not least is the fire pit which sets the stage for storytelling and memory making. We supply the wood…you supply the stories and laughter.
Even though "What A Retreat" feels secluded and away from it all, it’s approximately 5 minutes from the Parkway and all the action of Pigeon Forge: restaurants, dinner shows, grocery stores, entertainment, shopping, and more! Tanger Outlets is only 10 minutes away, and Dollywood a short 20-minute drive. Enjoy a scenic 30-minute drive to all Gatlinburg has to offer, along with numerous hiking trails in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

We loved the cabin! It offered endless entertainment that kept everyone happy. The kitchen was well-equipped with all the essentials, making it easy to enjoy meals together. The master bath shower was a standout and absolutely wonderful. Clean and well maintained.
House was even better than the pictures. Plenty of space for ten people and the rooms and bathrooms were immaculate. Comfiest bed I have been in for a VRBO.
We stayed here last June and had an amazing time. We saw a bear in the driveway and was so excited. We loved the screened in porch. It was so nice keeping the bugs out. The entire place is beautiful. We will be back and would recommend this property to anyone.
The place was perfect for us! Had everything we needed. Great location. The owners stopped by to replace the firepit with a newer, better one which we appreciated. Everything was really nice. We would stay here again!
This was a beautiful cabin with all the amenities. Every room throughout was very well stocked with everything we needed. The grounds were very nice, the walking trail was a great bonus! The hosts were very easy to keep in contact with, also, We will definitely visit again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. There were 7 of us and it had plenty of room for everyone. We spent most evenings on the screened in decks. Very quiet and peaceful.
This cabin is amazing. Everything you could want. The set up in perfect for families. It is secluded but also close to downtown. Will defiantly be staying at this cabin again!
Property was beautiful, cabin was clean and spacious, beds were comfortable and are on the firmer side. Even the quality of water was great. Kitchen was fully stocked with appliances. The only thing missing was an electric frother. Would stay again.
Perfect cabin to stay in when visiting Pigeon Forge! Especially for a big group and for kids. No crazy uphill winding roads to get to the cabin, your 5 minutes from everything you want to see and do on the strip. The best part is all the help we received from the owners being available to contact. We will be staying here again!
Excellent in every way! The home's beautiful setting is away from the crowds but close to everything. It was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The adults and children in our group especially enjoyed the game room and corn hole on the porch. Our questions were answered quickly and any instructions/info needed was readily available.
Our group consisted of 5 adults, a 15yo, two 5yo's and a 4yo. The house was the perfect size! We loved the hot tub! It's the perfect distance from all the activities, but far enough away for a relaxed evening sitting on the back deck. We contacted Megan and Michael for recommendations on places to eat, and they gave us great ideas! Megan and Michael were great hosts!
The cabin was very nice. We have never stayed that close to town. But the noise didn’t carry like I thought it would. It was clean well stocked and relaxing. I would stay here again.
What A Lodge was like the most beautiful dream come true!! The house location the VIEWS is just truly amazing! The hosts are the kindest most amazing family too!! We made so many wonderful memories!! Dont even look at another house! Thank you Michael and Meagen for sharing your beautiful lodge wus!!
Our family had the best time we have ever had on a vacation together! The cabin was so beautiful and full of all of the amenities one would need to feel at home! We loved the corn hole game and had many nights of tournaments and loved the fire pit as well enjoying smores and hot dogs at the fire! The cabin was so comfortable and beautifully decorated and close to all the attractions which made it so pleasurable! We loved it so much we are going to book again for next year. Thank you kindly to Micheal and Megan who took care of some issues while we were there and made sure our stay was as comfortable and efficient as it could be!! The memories we have created will be treasured for a life time. Thank you Micheal and Megan and VRBO for the best vacation ever!!!
We came and stayed at What a Retreat for our son’s wedding at The Magnolia. The cabin was clean and so comfortable for our family. Everything you can think of is here. Games, a hot tub, every kitchen item you could want. The owners are so nice and easy to contact with any questions. Definitely a 5 star experience! Thank you for thinking of everything!
We have stayed in a lot of rental homes in the US and Europe and this house might be the nicest most fully equipped home we have rented. The appliances, furnishings and small amenities like lighting were excellent and made our stay an absolute pleasure. Unfortunately, we were there for a family reunion and didn't have as much time as we would have liked to enjoy the home and it's surroundings. However, if we have the opportunity to stay in the Pigeon Forge area again, this will be our go to house.
We stayed during thanksgiving. Let me tell you the kitchen is perfect for anything you want to accomplish during your stay. It had everything, it was large, fully stocked and open to the living area so that you can enjoy time with family. Plenty of space and the surroundings area was perfect. We could have stayed the entire time in the cabin and been so happy. It was super clean and spacious and the welcoming when we checked in was a nice touch. No issues with contacting owners. They are super flexible and take pride in their cabin. Will definitely stay again!
The property is absolutely perfect. It is very well taken care of and the updates to include the new driveway and landscaping with lighting has taken this wonderful spot to another level. As our family has stayed here in the past the inside is always meticulously taken care of and every detail taken care of. The owners are wonderful folks who will make everything happen to ensure your stay at this property is perfect. It’s very close to the main drag for evening outings and entertainment. I would recommend this spot to anyone and will be planning our next visit back here in the fall. Thank you for the wonderful spot.
We had the best experience by staying in this amazing cabin. I had three of my daughters and two cousins stay with me for a girls get away. The cabin is the cleanest VRBO I’ve ever stayed at. The beds are so comfortable, the kitchen is so well stocked and everything is labeled. I seriously can’t say enough. The managers are so easy to communicate with and go above and beyond. If you are looking for a quite beautiful cabin in the mountains this is the place to go. We will be back and I can’t wait.
We loved this cabin! Not too far from town at all, but you feel like you are alone on a mountaintop. Everything was updated and very clean. Easy access as we had someone in a wheelchair. We loved the fire pit and rocking chairs! The owner was very responsive and accommodating when we had to postpone for a week. And he even personally brought a cord to charge a TV remote. We had Walmart deliver groceries with no problem. We would definitely stay here again!
Had a wonderful stay. The view was spectacular! The house was spotless! When we first arrived, we seen a bear in the front yard. The house is only a few miles from Pigeon Forge. On the other days we stayed, we had a deer show up in the back yard. The next days there was turkeys, and finally the neighborhood bobcat showed up to say hi. Can’t say enough how nice and clean the house was. Thank you
Very clean cabin and well equipped kitchen with all dishes & pots/pans you would need. Beds are comfortable and bathrooms spacious. Game room has plenty of options.
Great having carport for two cars and a ramp to the house for a wheelchair, which we needed.
A big bonus is the fire pit. The owners supplied the wood… we had hours of relaxation and conversation around the fire.
Driveway is steep, but had no problems going up or down.
What A Retreat is outstanding! One of our TOP VRBO bookings. We really enjoyed the house and all its' amenities. The house is very spacious with plenty of room for our group of 8. We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. Our son proposed to his girlfriend, now fiancé, at Clingman's Dome. We enjoyed many great meals at the house. Played pool and many other games, enjoyed the hot tub and deck areas. Hiked in the mountains & toured around Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg areas. Great week in Sevierville, TN.
The kitchen in this cabin was great. Anything you needed plus some. Beds were very comfy. We had no complaints. There was 8 adults in our party and everyone had there own bedroom and bath. My husband has cancer and is terminal and he wanted to take another family trip before he wasn't able. This cabin was very much handicap assessable. He loved sitting around the firepit at night. Would recommend this cabin highly..
