Two king suites, a gas fireplace under vaulted wood ceilings and your own year-round hot tub in the trees. Dollywood and the Smokies by day. Hot tub and fire by night.
A brand-new chalet built for the in-between moments of a Pigeon Forge trip: the quick ride home from Dollywood, the soak under the trees, the fire after dinner.
About a 5-minute drive to the park, 1.8 miles to The Island and minutes from the Parkway.
On its own tree-lined deck with string lights, open year-round. Robes included.
A king bedroom and full bath on each floor, plus a sleeper sofa for guests 5 and 6.
Under vaulted wood ceilings and a ring of clerestory windows.
Electric, so there's no propane to run out of. Steaks on one side, veggies on the other.
No white-knuckle mountain driving. Large parking pad at the door.
Tucked in the trees just off Veterans Boulevard, so you're close to the action without the Parkway traffic outside your door. Paved roads go all the way to the cabin, with no steep mountain driveway to worry about.
Pigeon Forge, TN 37863. The exact address is sent with your booking confirmation.

Your private hot tub sits on its own side deck, wrapped in trees with a privacy screen and string lights overhead. It's open all year, so a December soak with steam rising into the cold air is part of the deal.
The deck has a new Current Model G2 electric grill with two independent heat zones: sear steaks on one side at 700°F while vegetables take it slow on the other. It plugs in, heats fast and has built-in meat probes, so dinner after Dollywood is easy.
The great room opens up under tongue-and-groove wood ceilings and a ring of clerestory windows that fill it with light during the day. At night the gas fireplace takes over, with a 55-inch Roku TV above it, a leather sleeper sofa and two lounge chairs.
The kitchen has stainless appliances, a statement range hood and a big island that seats four for pancakes before the park. There's a coffee bar with a Keurig dual brewer, a SMEG kettle, a waffle maker and griddle, and everything you need to cook.
Dollywood by day. Hot tub and fire by night.
