We were very pleased with the cabin, finding it to be exceptionally beautiful. The cleanliness of the space certainly met our standards and enhanced the overall experience. Moreover, the peaceful atmosphere provided a much-needed sense of tranquility during our stay. We also appreciated the responsiveness and helpfulness of the host. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

Shane was a great host and was super easy to communicate with! He made our stay relaxing and even showed great understanding when we broke a dish. Top notch!

This location was beautiful. Fantastic view. Beware that the driveway is steep, we had to turn on our 4-wheel drive, so we didn't throw rocks everywhere, but it is nice and peaceful. The hot tub was great for the evenings. We were able to spend some much-needed relaxing time in the great outdoors with family as well as watching movies, playing games and Pac man! Fair warning, if you are not from Tennessee (like us) beware of the stinky millipedes that can make the whole place smell if they get inside. We had no idea what the smell of ammonia was on our second day, but we quickly figured it out when there was a dead one of the floor! Obviously, this is no fault of the homeowners, they were fantastic the whole trip and very responsive. Thanks so much for a peaceful stay! We will be staying here again!

The place was wonderful. Beautiful scenery, very private and exactly as described. The pool table and hot tub are a great addition. Place was mostly clean besides for a few things here and there but no big deal. No complaints and would love to go back! Shane was a great host as well, very responsive.

We love this cabin. Somehow, it was even better than the pictures! The unobstructed view from the back deck is stunning and we were lucky enough to experience this secluded home before the neighboring cabin was completed (May 2025). It was SO QUIET out there, just the sounds of nature - no road noise. The beds are comfortable, the shower is awesome and the kitchen was well stocked. The home was clean, uncluttered, and nicely decorated with touches of softness among the quality, real wood furniture. If you like hiking the Smoky Mountains, the trails nearby are a dream so this makes for a wonderful home base. Highly recommend this cabin for a quiet get away from the world.

This was so much fun for our family! It rained while we were there so yeh gravel road to get to the cabin was a little washed down making it difficult to get up. Other than that it was a fantastic stay with beautiful views. Not being a local we drove a bit slower in the mountains but got easy to get used to the narrow roadways.
Would do this again!
Wish there was a bit more for littles to do during the trip as the yard is a steep hill and still being completed.
Looking forward to returning again one day!

We absolutely loved this cabin! Amazing view, very clean, would definitely recommend!

So overall the stay was nice it was clean and kept up it had games to play at the table you had a theater system downstairs to have movie night with a arcade system as well the pool table was there as well. Not to far from downtown only about 30 minute drive down the mountain it was definitely secluded never saw anyone drive up the private driveway except for construction workers who were building a new cabin. The hot tub was a nice relaxer after the long day. The only thing I would say was the drive up to it was a little crazy because it was a country mountain road so barley any room for two cars and it was a steep fall and the road said 45mph on it yea no thank you. You will need a 4 wheel drive to get up to your cabin do not recommend anything else and the driveway was good size however I would still put a guard rail on the hill side for protection against any accidents and there is no backyard but they are adding a fire pit from the looks of it. Would recommend still good stay 👍?

The cabin is absolutely beautiful! The hosts are great and attentive. Lots and lots of activities to do at the cabin. The cabin is about 30 minutes from town. We got there late at night and it was a little difficult to find. The road is very curvy and the driveway is steep. Overall a great stay, I wish the driveway/road was mentioned prior though.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here! We come from a busy city and it was so nice to get away from the noise. The area is super quiet, the cabin was spotless, the wood inside smelled so nice, and it came with everything we needed. The best part was having a movie night with popcorn in the theatre. Not to mention, a Pac Man machine for us adult kids, (My fiance and I, lol!) We had no major complaints at all. Just be prepared to have extra gas money if you want to visit Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge everyday because they are a little ways away. Also the roads leading up to the cabin are extremely narrow, but we already expected that. 10/10 would recommend ❤️

Perfect! The place was exactly as advertised—clean, comfortable, and with a breathtaking peaceful view. A truly relaxing getaway. Highly recommend!

Enjoyed our beautiful stay at Shane’s cabin. It really was away from it all and a home away from home. We will be back!

Beautiful cabin loved the theater, room, games and hot tub.

We loved our stay here at the away from it all cabin. The movie theater is really spacious and the master bathroom is impeccable. we loved the hot tub and the TV outside with it! Made great for muscle relaxation after hiking

Beautiful place out of the city and away from all the traffic.

- Posted: 1/20/2025

Amazing stay! Amazing host! The absolute perfect get away. Shane was more than accommodating when winter weather hit. 100% recommend!!!

- Posted: 1/12/2025

Cabin was as described. Definitely recommend a 4x4. Last road to get there is a little scary but is normal for the area. Great amenities! Excellent TVS! Great property! Would come here again !

- Posted: 1/6/2025

The cabin is exactly as seen in the photos, everything is clean and new, it is beautiful, spacious, the view is spectacular, they even decorated it for Christmas with a Christmas tree and everything is beautiful, excellent communication, I definitely recommend staying, it is a private and relaxing cabin, I recommend driving a 4WD SUV Truck, a car will not work for you. We will definitely return.

- Posted: 1/3/2025

We had a great time at the cabin unfortunately for us the first night we got there we were hit by a driver that ran a red light and totaled our car. So didn’t get to do much shopping or site seeing around town. But we made the best of it and watched movies, cooked some great food enjoyed the hot tub and the wonderful views we had from the cabin. We will definitely be back!

- Posted: 12/22/2024

Great cabin would stay again!

- Posted: 12/15/2024

My husband and I enjoyed our stay so very much! It was a great way to celebrate our 18th wedding anniversary!! We will
Definitely be back!!!

Great place to have a get away stay

- Posted: 12/2/2024

Really great place to stay. The host was quick with responding to any questions we had and its a super nice cabin. The only thing i will say is, when they say "away from it all" they mean it. its a solid 15-20 minute drive to get to any stores/gas stations, but on the bright side there was no traffic and it was extremely peaceful and quiet. Overall I would definitely recommend this place, just be prepared and buy what you need before settling down for the day/night!

- Posted: 11/18/2024

Wonderful place, wonderful stay!!!
We will be back!

- Posted: 11/16/2024

Hosts were extremely responsive. The cabin was just as shown and the private and peaceful retreat we were looking for. We would definitely stay again.

- Posted: 10/27/2024

We went for a romantic getaway and were so pleased with the cabin. The views are amazing and it was so peaceful. The cabin was exactly the way Shane described. It was worth every penny. We wished we could have stayed longer.

- Posted: 10/20/2024

I loved the place! It was about a 30-35 min drive to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. So as long as you know that up front and what you’re looking for, it’s perfect. Very secluded. House was very clean and tvs were great for kids. Be sure to note the name of the cabin (Away From it All) as that is the only signage as the end of the driveway. Overall great place and would stay again!

- Posted: 10/10/2024

Excellent stay at Away From it All. Secluded, private location that looked just as described in the listing. Can’t say enough about the helpful hosts who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. I would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a little peace and quiet for a week or long weekend. I know I’ll be back.

This cabin was beautiful! You can smell the newness as soon as you walk in. The layout is wonderful for kids or for two couples. The decorations and feel of the home is very well thought out. The view off the back deck is stunning and has plenty of seating. This place is very private and secluded. It was raining heavy when we got there and the slope headed to the property is steep. My front wheel sedan would not have made it. our AWD SUV worked fine. We went to Dollywood two days and it was about a 35 minute drive from the cabin. We loved the hot tub and had an awesome movie night. The shower on the first level is HUGE! The blinds were great quality and blocked out the sun for a nice sleep. The power went out(hurricane Helene) but was back on within 8 hours. in the meantime we used the propane grill to cook some food. otherwise, everything else in the property is electric. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it!

gorgeous views, great cabin, we had so much fun

This cabin is secluded and beautiful! Sadly we did not see any bears however it was worth staying! the theatre was amazing! the hot tub was the perfect touch!

- Posted: 9/14/2024

My partner and I rented this wonderful cabin as a stay-cation. It looked small from the front but the moment you walked in you discovered how beautifully open and spacious this cabin was. Everything was brand new and the owner paid attention to every detail ensuring our stay was as peaceful and relaxing as possible. At the same time, lots of entertainment to enjoy from the movie theater to the pool table. Such a lovely experience!

- Posted: 9/1/2024

The place was very very peaceful my overall experience I loved it definitely should Book here the host was very helpful and responsive with any questions

- Posted: 9/5/2024

I don’t have not one complaint. I loveddddddddddddd everything about the cabin. Me and my husband visit the mountains a lot and this cabin is my #1 hands down. The only thing I would recommend is for people to drive a truck or at least have four wheel drive. I definitely can’t wait to book it again. It’s lit 😊

- Posted: 8/25/2024

our stay at the cabin was absolutely fantastic! the cabin & the views are stunning. the location itself is only about half hour from pigeon forge which was very convenient. the kitchen has everything you need which was a big plus! it helped us save money by cooking breakfast ourselves. the hot tub was a nice touch, it helped us wind down after a long day of sight seeing and fun. we already want to come back! i’m excited to plan a future trip.

- Posted: 8/18/2024

We loved our stay at “Away From it All”. Google maps led us a bit past the road to the cabin but once we realized the name of the cabin we turned around and saw the sign! Roads are well maintained. House was clean and everyone loved the theater/game room. Not to mention the hot tub! Hosts very responsive. Loved the guidebook! I would definitely book again.

- Posted: 8/15/2024

This property was beautiful!! It smelled brand new!!
The pictures did not do justice to the beautiful view and cabin. It was bug and spacious and the lay out give you privacy if your traveling with others. Will definitely go back and stay here again!

We really enjoyed this cabin. The property and home were beautiful and the area was very peaceful. It was a short drive to get to town with beautiful scenery. We came on vacation with 3 children and they really enjoyed the movie theater and arcade, however there wasn’t an area outside for them to play safely. They didn’t mind at all since they had stuff to do in the home. The house was clean and had all of the amenities needed for the stay. Shane made our stay simple and was always there to answer any questions. Our next trip to Tennessee we will definitely be booking with Shane! This cabin is a must see and was perfect for our vacation. Thank you Shane for opening your home to our family, we made so many wonderful memories that will last a life time, but we will be back soon!

- Posted: 8/8/2024

We loved staying here. My children really enjoyed the movie theater, pac man, and hot tub. It was super cozy for the time we were there. My 4 year loved the bear decorations so much she wanted to buy another decoration while we were out in gatlinburg to “make the cabin pretty”. The passcode was a slight inconvenience being so long it wasn’t easy to remember. But overall enjoyed the cabin so much!

- Posted: 8/5/2024

This property was beautifully done. New, nice, and private. Very comfortable! Conveniently located to both rafting and Pigeon Forge activities. A bear stole a shoe so follow the rules! We had a great time and the renting company was very responsive when we needed more sheets.

We really enjoyed our stay. The property was beautiful and we loved the seclusion and wonderful scenery. We would absolutely stay here again in the future.

Cabin is beautiful but a little tricky to find and I would recommend AWD or 4WD to get up the roads. It is secluded - you can see the headlights go by but you’re completely surrounded by forest. There was an active porch birds nest for our stay and it made mornings lovely! Hosts were super quick to respond to all our questions and even sent someone to get rid of some wasps nests near the hot tub before we were ready to use it. There were coffee pods to start out but bring your own cream and sugar. We ended up buying an extra blanket as we only found one so maybe pack one of those too. Having the washer & dryer made packing to go home a breeze. Road trip tip: the roads here can be very narrow and winding with blind hills - go slow and wait your turn and most importantly, don’t get too close to the edges or you’ll end up making friends with the locals who come to winch you out! The grill was a lovely touch and groceries were cheap - we loved it so much we ate in mostly. We’ll be back!

Hi Dominic! Thanks for your kind review. Glad you enjoyed the beautiful cabin and peaceful surroundings. Spotting the active porch bird's nest must have been a treat! Apologies if the roads were tricky, but I'm glad AWD or 4WD helped. Your feedback on extra blankets is noted; I'll ensure more are available. Thanks for choosing to stay with me—I'd love to host you again for another relaxing getaway! Take care!
