Almost Paradise

Beautiful Cabin!! Super clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the peacefulness of the surroundings and loved being in the center of nature. Great location in between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Would highly recommend this cabin!

Beautiful house in a beautiful, quiet location. We would stay here again for sure.

Martin, glad you enjoyed the peaceful location and the house. We'd be happy to welcome you back anytime. Thanks for the great review!

The house was amazing! My family and I enjoyed everything it had to offer. Huge porch was great in the morning for coffee and taking in the surrounding nature. My kids especially liked the old school video game table in the loft. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to the area. If you are looking for a spacious cabin, great views, and helpful host, don't hesitate booking!

Beautiful home. Incredibly comfortable, lots of comfort and charm. Would absolutely stay there again!

A brilliant spot, lovely cabin with everything you would need. Fully equipped kitchen, all rooms were pristine and comfortable. My friends and I had a great stay here and found it a convenient spot being a short drive from hiking trails and restaurants alike.

Very beautiful

Our family enjoyed our stay so much! We had a family trip for a variety of ages from 6-74 and each of us enjoyed it equally. From the exquisite cabin, to the beautiful surroundings, and the ease of finding things to do, we were never bored or lacked for things to fill our time. We would love to come back and visit again!

LOVED IT! The online listing was completely accurate. The property was very clean and very comfortable. Would absolutely recommend. It was very peaceful.

This was a beautiful home on a peaceful and scenic location. Kitchen was well appointed for cooking for my family. Hot tub was wonderful and relaxing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this home to anyone.

Amazing location —in the mountains & just a short drive to PigeonGorge & Gatlinburg!! Peaceful & beautiful spot

- Posted: 3/27/2025

The need for an AWD or 4WD is true. While the first trip up to the cabin was nerve-wracking, it became old hat very quickly. We had a blast in the hot tub on one evening where it sleeted like crazy for a while.
Location was good, being about midway between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, so it was easy to get to Dollywood, as well as Anakeesta and the Aquarium.
All in all, a GREAT stay!

Justin place was wonderful very clean a beautiful view from sunrise to sunset ! Exactly like the pictures, the trip up the mountain is very slim for big trucks SUV but still safe. The location is in between most activities near by love every minute of staying at the almost paradise!

- Posted: 12/15/2024

The home was absolutely beautiful and we enjoyed our stay here and are very likely to return again.

Absolutely stunning cabin! We are so very sad to come home after our amazing stay. Justin’s cabin is beyond words and we can’t wait to come back next year! Perfect location for peaceful mornings and evenings and great spot central to everything from restaurants, attractions and Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Justin was so quick to respond when I couldn’t figure something out and had the best recommendations for places to eat and things to do. Amazing host and fabulous cabin! Really can’t say that enough!
We saw the neighborhood bear 2 days in a row, sat out most evenings around the fire pit and the hot tub was fantastic after long hikes through GSMNP. The beds were super comfy and we felt right at home. Kitchen was perfectly appointed and we cooked our evening meals there rather than venturing out.
We can not wait to come back! Our only regret was having to leave!

- Posted: 11/27/2024

Justin’s cabin is absolutely beautiful, even more breathtaking than in the photos. Every space looked clean and brand new. Drive up to the cabin was an experience for us Floridian flat landers but completely worth it for the views and peacefulness on arrival. Justin was always available by messaging and his assistant was fast to respond as needed as well. His cabin and recommendations made our trip!

- Posted: 11/11/2024

This was our second stay and it was just as perfect as the first!

- Posted: 11/2/2024

Beautiful cabin with gorgeous views!
Everything was provided, and it was cozy and welcoming! The hot tub was perfect, the outdoor fire spot was serene, and we saw wildlife all around. We will definitely come back!
Our only issue was that the main living room fireplace was not working. We sent a message and we were communicated with right away. A service man came out within hours, but it was not fixed during our stay since a part had to be ordered. Otherwise, everything was great!

Lovely home

- Posted: 10/13/2024

It was beautiful. My mother was so happy to be able to treat my brother and his wife and her sister to a retreat at this beautiful home. It was everything described and more. They were able to sit on the porch and watch the bears in the distance playing. I asked my aunt how she liked the cabin and she said, "that was not a cabin, it was a mansion." They really enjoyed the stay and I want to thank Justin for allowing our family to use their home. We hope to come again next year.

Beautiful house & neighborhood. Very comfortable even for a big group. Roads are steep and narrow for those of us not used to that type of drive but got used to it by the end of week. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils. Only complaint was number of towels was low for large group. Would definitely stay here again.

- Posted: 10/5/2024

WOW….. What an EXCEPTIONAL cabin!!!!
This cabin is immaculate and we are already getting ready to book this place again. The location is perfect being right between Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge! And I can’t even put into words how cozy it is and how “at home” we felt!

- Posted: 9/2/2024

The cabin was absolutely beautiful and had everything we needed. This was our first trip to the Smoky Mountains so we squeezed in everything we could, but the peaceful tranquility of the cabin was our favorite part. We will definitely be back.

- Posted: 8/3/2024

My family has gone to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg almost every year and we always stay in a hotel or camp. This time we decided to get a cabin and this was the best decision! It’s secluded, but also only a short drive to all the fun stuff. The pictures don’t even do justice. This place was beautiful, clean, and peaceful. The kitchen and bathrooms were everything you could want. The hot tub and wrap around porch were wonderful. And yes, we saw a bear!

- Posted: 7/30/2024

This cabin was so amazing I will definitely be coming back

- Posted: 7/26/2024

Domonique, I am thrilled to hear that you had such a great time and that you are already planning to come back. It was a pleasure hosting you and I can't wait to welcome you back for another amazing stay. See you soon!

The Cabin and the Owner were great! I would book this place again if we ever return to the area. I have had several friends and family members ask me for the listing after seeing pictures my wife posted online.

Amazing cabin and will be definitely booking again in the future.

Beautiful mountain cabin with easy access to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The beds were comfortable. The 3 bathrooms were nice to have for our large family. Very nice wrap around porch with large hot tub. The best part was watching a mama bear and her 3 cubs walking through the yard.

- Posted: 6/28/2024

Thanks for the great review, Pamela! I’m so glad you and your family enjoyed Almost Paradise. The wrap-around porch and hot tub are some of my favorites too. How amazing to see a mama bear and her cubs! Thanks again for choosing my cabin, and I hope you’ll visit again in the future.

Smoky Mountain Holiday staff

We absolutely loved our stay here! The cabin is gorgeous and secluded. We actually saw bears from the living room and porch! Worth every penny!

STOP SCROLLING!!! YOU'VE FOUND EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR!
This very spacious 3 bedroom is filled with light and high ceilings, BUT not to worry, the bedrooms are private and located on the back side of the house so you an early morning sunrise won't wake you. Also, every bedroom gets its own private and luxurious bathroom.
There's so much deck space that surrounds the entire house and offers wide open views of the trees as well as covered porches. There's plenty of room to spread out and really soak up all of the Smoky Mountain vibes.
The first drive up to the cabin is a real adventure, but you will quickly realize that it is centrally located between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Having returned home to my boring, mostly straight, and flat roads, I am longing for the steep and windy roads that lead the way to this peaceful place and away from the hubbub of the G-burg/PF strips.
This is truly an outstanding place to relax, recharge, and reconnect. I highly recommend it.

- Posted: 6/1/2024

Hey Brian! Thanks for the awesome review! I'm so glad you enjoyed the deck space and the views of the trees. I agree, the drive up to the cabin is definitely an adventure, but it's worth it for the peaceful location. I'm happy to hear you had a relaxing and enjoyable stay. You're welcome back anytime!

Smoky Mountain Holiday staff

Beautiful property with stunning views of the Smoky Mountains. We mostly ate in and we had everything we needed to cook our meals. The hot tub was therapeutic after our wonderful hikes in the Smoky Mountain National park. We also enjoyed turning on the the fire place and watching the March Madness games in the comfortable, spacious living room.

- Posted: 3/25/2024

We enjoyed a lovely stay. This was my favorite AirBnB! The house was perfect and the location was great.

The cabin was beautiful! Kitchen was equipped with everything we needed!

We will definitely be staying here again!! It was a perfect home away from home!!

This cabin was gorgeous inside and out! Everything was top notch from the living room to the kitchen to the bedrooms and bathrooms. The bath tub was amazing. The hot tub was amazing. Super cozy and will definitely come stay again. The trek up the mountain was steep, but to be expected to get to a cabin as wonderful and with as great views as this one and in my opinion added to the fun. Highly recommend booking with this awesome host and specifically this awesome cabin.

- Posted: 10/28/2023
