Very responsive and attentive to our needs. The road to get in is tricky for someone who doesn’t know how to navigate mountains. Hahaha. We enjoyed our weekend very much. Very quiet and relaxing!- Posted: 8/2/2025
Beautiful and spacious cabin in a peaceful area. We had a great time!- Posted: 7/19/2025
Despite schedule conflict with community pool, family had a great time. Will definitely be coming back. Lots to see and do. Kids loved seeing a bear come to our front door lol- Posted: 6/6/2025
It was a great cabin! It was beautiful and the view was wonderful. It was stocked with just about everything one could need including a rice cooker, a crock pot and a coffee maker with both kcups and standard. The pans were nice Wolfgang Puck pans. It was only missing a rubber spatula. It had a lot of spices which was unexpected! The hot tub was clean and warm. The games were fun! It was nice to have a washer and dryer onsite. The entire family commented on the comfort of the mattresses! I usually toss and turn at night but these mattresses were so comfortable, and we all slept like babies! They had plenty of pillows and extra blankets. The windows from every bedroom were huge and the views were wonderful! The swing on the porch was wonderful! The only thing that I would change considering this was a pet friendly cabin - there is no place for the dog to go to the bathroom. They don't have any grass so you have to walk up or down the hill to another cabin's grass.- Posted: 5/24/2025
Would definitely stay here again . It had everything that we needed and so
Glad it’s pet friendly !!! We loved it !!!!!- Posted: 5/16/2025
We enjoyed this trip SO much! The cabin is in a great location, and was perfect driving distance from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. I can’t think of anything negative to say about our experience! We will be back!- Posted: 5/11/2025
This was an amazing stay and a great location! Breathtaking views and much to do if you just want to watch time go by with our pups! Host was great as was co host! Already looking at fall plans! Even saw 2 bears!!!! Will recommend, but would loose our secret! Memories made and views like being closer to heaven!
Bob and Shari, and pups!- Posted: 5/3/2025

Absolutely PERFECT spot for this area! Gorgeous view, close to hiking, and built-in fun at the location. We hope to return!- Posted: 4/6/2025
Shane is a great host. Very responsive and willing to take care of any issues.- Posted: 4/4/2025
Shane made efforts to make sure our stay was great from the moment we booked. The cabin had everything we needed. The cabin was clean and the location was convenient to both Pigeon forge and Gatlinburg. I would recommend to others.- Posted: 3/16/2025
Definitely worth it, took a family vacation with my parents and they loved the place! The cabin is well decorated and with a great view of the mountains.- Posted: 3/14/2025
Great stay! The view was amazing and the host was super responsive. We would definitely stay here again- Posted: 2/23/2025

Shane was a great host ! Extremely responsive and helpful during our stay.- Posted: 2/9/2025
We enjoyed our stay. The view is amazing.- Posted: 2/1/2025
This place blew us away with its stunning surroundings. We faced a bit of an adventure trying to drive one of our vehicles to the cabin because of a snowstorm, but Shane came to the rescue with fantastic recommendations to ensure we made it safely. When we finally arrived, the cabin looked just like the breathtaking photos we saw—absolutely perfect!
On checkout morning, I mentioned to Shane that we were still waiting for the tow truck to return our car, and he went above and beyond by graciously allowing us to stay until noon. Once we got our car back, we headed back to Gatlinburg and had a blast using the coupons and suggestions Shane had given us. This trip was awesome! We can't wait to return for another unforgettable stay!- Posted: 1/20/2025
What an amazing stay my family and I loved it beautiful cabin close to everything! Shane was super responsive and offered great recommendations would recommend the stay to everyone!- Posted: 1/19/2025
Beautiful inside and out. Very clean. Beautiful view.- Posted: 1/13/2025
Couldn’t have asked for a better host very responsive and helpful- Posted: 12/28/2024
Good!- Posted: 12/14/2024
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cabin in the mountains! The space was cozy and with all the amenities we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location was ide—just a 20-minute drive to Pigeon Forge, yet peaceful and secluded. Shane was an excellent host, very friendly and responsive.- Posted: 12/8/2024
Beautiful spot, tons of fun in the house...exactly what our group of 6 and the dog was hoping for! And yep, we saw plenty of bears :)- Posted: 11/28/2024
10/10 experience!- Posted: 11/17/2024
Great cabin!- Posted: 11/10/2024

Important birthday turned into a pool tournament. All ages had fun. Conveniently close to the action for the young ones and far enough where this old duddyslept is olds- Posted: 10/3/2024
So happy you enjoyed your trip! Thanks so much for coming!Smoky Mountain Holiday staff
This cabin has a fantastic view! Close to gatlinburg, but still far enough away to enjoy the peace of the Mountain View! Shane was an awesome host, he had recommendations and was extremely responsive!!!- Posted: 9/19/2024
Perfectly located for breathtaking views of the mountains. When you walk in it's like coming to a warm peaceful place that feels instantly like a welcoming home. We got to witness a momma bear and triplets walking down the road. Cabin was close to town but tucked back to the beautiful country soon enough. We wont stay at any other place for vacation. Money well spent, staff went beyond helping us. Yup we are blessed to find our home away from home.- Posted: 9/15/2024
Very responsive host, and beautiful views! We enjoyed the pool table and hot tub! Very close to all amenities! We had a Mama and 3 babies visit daily and nightly- The most sightings I have ever seen while down here! Great memories were made! Heads up, it was roughly a 13-minute drive down the mountain to the main road. The roads were easy, but pretty windy. I definitely expect that with mountain cabins, but If you're prone to car sickness, 13 minutes is a long time lol Also, if you bring a furry friend, you will have to walk a few houses down to find some grass for them to go out on that isn't on a slope. We didn't mind the walk, but just an FYI!- Posted: 9/11/2024
This cabin was perfect for our family of 7 and 2 dogs. It was very clean and had everything you needed to cook a meal! The views were amazing. We saw more bears there near the cabin then we did at Cades Cove! One did come up to our vehicles and up to the neighbors cabin when they were grilling. The price for this cabin was very reasonable. We will be back!- Posted: 9/6/2024
Great stay in the mountains.- Posted: 9/2/2024
We throughly enjoyed our stay! Very beautiful and cozy home ❤️- Posted: 8/30/2024
Beautiful cabin and location! Shane and Justin were proactive and provided helpful details and suggestions. Very responsive hosts!- Posted: 8/26/2024
Our stay at Away in the Mountains was one to remember! It’s such a beautiful cabin with amazing views. We felt right at home!We had a few visitors every day, Mama bear and her 3 cubs. They really enjoyed the neighbors garbage and would walk past every morning and even in the evening. It made us a little nervous taking the dogs out to go the bathroom, there is really no grass area at the cabin so walking up and down the road for them to find a place to go was necessary. At one point my husband met mama and her cubs in the road on his walk back with no where to go, had to wait until the time was right to walk past them all.. very quickly. I highly recommend staying here if you want to unwind and enjoy the views. Shane and Justin were wonderful host and very responsive with any questions we had! Thanks again for a wonderful vacation.- Posted: 8/21/2024
This was our first time booking through this app. The host was very helpful and very responsive.- Posted: 8/17/2024
Definitely a 5-star stay. Fully equipped kitchen, plenty of space, great view secluded enough to have a peaceful stay but minutes away from all of the fun activities. The hosts were quick to respond when needed. Definitely coming back!- Posted: 8/11/2024
Shane is an excellent host! Our family thoroughly enjoyed the space. It was clean, plenty of space, loved having rooms on separate floors. Kitchen had everything you need to cook. Grill is out front, instead of the back deck, but that was OK. Saw lots of bears every day. Beautiful surroundings. Pool was just a short drive down the road. Not too far from downtown. Lots of restaurants in a short drive as well. Thank you for having us for a special getaway for our family.- Posted: 8/4/2024
Nice spot in the Smokies while still being close to everything. Gorgeous mountain view from the deck.- Posted: 7/29/2024
We had fantastic time at the property. It was very clean and the views were spectacular. Hosts were very responsive and instructions were clear from the get go. We will definitely come back.!- Posted: 7/27/2024
Bikash I am so glad to hear that you had a fantastic time at Away in the Mountains. I'm glad to hear that you were able to enjoy the views. We would love to have you back for a future stay at Away in the Mountains. Thank you for choosing to stay with us!Smoky Mountain Holiday staff
Beautiful cabin. Perfect for our group of 6 and 2 furbabies. Awesome game room . Amazing FULLY equipped kitchen… so equipped there was no cabinet space for groceries. The outdoor space on the main level provided spectacular views and the swing & rockers were perfect for relaxing. We saw a big beautiful bear less than 10 ft from the cabin. Taking a stroll, breaking into other cabins garbage. This mountain neighborhood is very charming; however, we could hear the guests/neighbors on their decks on either side and behind the cabin while sitting outside. Easy access to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and super close to the local’s Artist shops & restaurant area. Definitely check out the blown glass shop and Timbers log cabin restaurant (best meal during our 6 nights) Old Mill was nice to walk through & listen to good country music but unimpressed with the food. Blake shelton’s restaurant was awesome! Dollywood always a good time! Thanks for sharing your beautiful cabin with the AIRBNB community- Posted: 7/25/2024
Thank you Renee for taking the time to leave such a positive review! I'm so glad to hear that you and your group, including your furbabies, enjoyed your stay. he outdoor space and views are definitely a highlight of the cabin, and it sounds like you were able to relax and take in the beautiful surroundings. And how exciting that you got to see the bears that's definitely a memorable experience. Thank you for choosing our cabin and we hope to see you back.Smoky Mountain Holiday staff

Our group of 6 had a relaxing and great time at this cabin! The location is great as it is easy to get to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg through a few back roads. Each room was on its own floor and had their own bathrooms. We all enjoyed the living room set up and the kids enjoyed the game room and hot tub. We’ll return to this cabin again!- Posted: 6/9/2024
