Sleeping up to 8 guests in real beds, the cabin boasts a private master bedroom suite, a bunk game room, and a loft. You have access to the entire home and patio area. Guests can park 2-3 cars on the relatively flat street outside the lodge. Roads up the mountain are paved all the way to the cabin.

The Neighborhood:
ADVENTURE FOR EVERY AGE

✓ Cabin is situated near two entrances to the Smoky Mountain National Park, offering easy access to plenty of outdoor activities. You can explore breathtaking waterfalls, diverse wildlife, and an extensive network of trails for both biking and hiking. For those seeking adventure, the area is perfect for fishing, river rafting, and tubing.
✓ There is an outdoor fireplace at the pavilion in the amenities center available on a first come basis. You can bring your own wood and enjoy the fire and mountain views.
✓ Enjoy access to Honeysuckle Meadows seasonal community pool, deli, and catch and release fishing pond, included with your reservation. Pond is open year round. Pool and deli are seasonal, generally from early May beyond Labor Day, subject to change according to weather and owner discretion. No license is needed for the fishing pond, but you will need to bring your own equipment or purchase it there.

Honeysuckle Meadows is located at the intersection of Happy Hollow Road and Wears Valley Road (about 3.5 miles away, at the bottom of the mountain).

NOTE: We DO NOT belong to the amenities center at the Preserve Resort.

Getting Around:
The road is paved all the way from the main road to the cabin. You will encounter some steep and winding mountain roads. In the winter 4wd or AWD may be necessary.

Other Things to Note:
What We Are NOT
*Bargain or Budget: Our properties are priced for quality and comfort, not as budget options.
*Party Place: We prioritize family-friendly environments over party atmospheres.
*Pet-Friendly: In an effort to maintain the cleanliness and comfort for all guests, our properties do not accommodate pets.

CABIN RULES
* Smoke-free, vape-free home. Smoking detectors send alerts for smoking inside the cabin but record no audio or video
*Quiet hours 10 pm- 8 am
*Keep car doors and cabin doors locked (to keep bears out)

BEARS
*Secure trash in the bear proof bin using lock code
*$250 FINE for unsecured trash bins (meaning HOA delivers fine any time the bin is not latched) and/or trash left outside of locked bins. We will pay this charge to our guests if we receive a violation.
*Dye, including hair dye, is not allowed on the property.

AGREEMENTS
*Even after verifying and paying, reservation is not complete until a signed rental agreement is received. ANY GUEST WHO REFUSES TO SIGN THE RENTAL AGREEMENT WILL HAVE THEIR RESERVATION CANCELED.

ACCESS
•Guest(s) shall allow Homeowner or Homeowner's representative access to the property for purposes of repair and inspection. Homeowner shall exercise this right of access in a reasonable manner.

CRITTERS AND CREATURES
In Tennessee, you will almost certainly see some amazing creatures. We particularly love watching the black bears. There are also insects, gnats, ants, roaches, raccoons, spiders, snakes, mice, rats, scorpions, and other creatures. Almost everywhere in the state, including our cabin and resort, is a possible place to run into insects or animals. While we take precautions and have regular pest control, we cannot guarantee a critter or creepy crawly-free experience. If this is a concern for you or your kids, please don't book our cabin because we do not provide refunds if you encounter any wild creatures or insects while you are there. Please let us know if you notice anything in or around your cabin so we can contact our pest control or the proper authorities.

SECURITY CAMERA
For your safety and ours, please be aware that are two security cameras installed at the front door. The cameras record video footage 24/7. This measure is in place to ensure the security of our property and the safety of all guests. The second camera is for the trash bin; it is the closest we could get to view the bin. We installed the second camera strictly in an attempt to avoid the $250 fine by ensuring bears do not scatter trash. Your privacy is of utmost importance, and no other areas are under video surveillance.

CAUTION
*As you enter the cabin, watch your step. There is a staircase leading downstairs immediately on the left as you enter.
*Inspect the loft area to ensure that the window is locked and the window alarm is working. This "egress" window is required by the county for fire safety, but we want to emphasize that it should always remain closed due to the high drop.

Breath taking views
Wow!! We just got home from this property and all I can say is wow! The views themselves are worth the stay here. The home was perfect and even better than pictured. Everything you could possibly need, they had. Communication was excellent! My son and daughter LOVED the arcade games while my husband and I soaked in the view. I liked that this was a little bit away from the bustle but close enough to get to everything. The ride up the mountain was nerve-wracking at first, but only because we're not used to anything like it. It was totally fine for us after a few times. Book now!! You won't regret it!

The check-in and check-out process was extremely easy. The owners were easy to contact and prompt to answer a technology question we had late at night. We brought consumables but the house was stocked. The cabin was very clean and well staged with furniture. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend others to stay too.

Amazing, Peaceful Cabin
The cabin was beautiful, very clean and accommodating! I felt very comfortable and I consider myself a bit of a clean freak with high expectations.I was very impressed and needless to say was satisfied! The pictures really don’t give this property’s view justice. It’s breathtaking and just so beautiful. The neighborhood is very quiet and subtle. Jen was in contact with me several times to check in thru out the stay to check up on us. I can’t say enough about this property, it was the best part of our entire vacation!

Our stay was wonderful. The cabin was absolutely beautiful, well stocked and clean. The view is AMAZING! The beds were comfortable and provided plenty of room for our family. We all enjoyed playing the multiple arcade games as well as spending time in the hot tub. The internet was fast and reliable for those who do need to work for a little here and there. I would recommend this cabin over and over. Great communication with Jennifer and Neal on any question you would have.

We were very pleased with how beautiful the cabin was and the views were just breath taking! Our girls LOVED the hot tub and every day we were on bear watch lol. We saw 9 bears and even had a momma bear & 3 cubs walk up to the front door. The community had a pool that was on the side of the mountain and my husband and I could just lay there and look out for hours. The owners of the cabin were just great! anytime I had a question they responded within minutes and they were incredibly kind! I highly recommend this cabin for anyone!

THE VIEW! This cabin was fantastic. The views from the decks were just amazing. The cabin is in great shape and was very clean upon check in. There is really everything you could need and some. The neighborhood is nice and well kept. The arcade game was a huge hit for the kids and adults!! So many people have seen our pictures and asked where we've stayed. We would highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking in the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area.

Exceeded Expectations!
This was a last minute booking for a quick 2 day trip to Dollywood with our kids, 14 and 19. Located a short drive from the downtown strip, you feel like you are on top of the world when you step out on the deck. Great view of the mountains, and a very cozy living area for relaxing. Enjoyed having morning coffee with my wife as it was the perfect respite after the fast paced day of roller coaster rides and music shows. Would recommend this property highly!

Beautiful cabin, even better view
I don’t even know where to start with this property, so let’s start with the owners. Jennifer and Neal could not have been more helpful. They were attentive, and answered every question we threw at them (and we had some doozies) with knowledge and genuine kindness. They were super friendly and even checked in on us during the trip to make sure everything was good and that we didn’t have questions or need anything. Let me assure you, we needed nothing because this property was pure perfection. It has one main bedroom and master bath downstairs, and the game room which has the bunk beds. The hot tub on the lower deck was clean and super welcomed at the end of a long day. On the main level is the living room, dining room, second bathroom, the upper deck, and the two beds in the loft (which my teen took over). My mom has to sleep in a recliner bc of medical issues, so it was exactly what we needed. It was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. We had everything we needed to enjoy the trip! The beds were comfortable (although we always bring our own pillows) and the place felt like home. But the view…that was amazing. Pictures just don’t do it justice. They can’t. This is the best cabin and best view we’ve ever had in Pigeon Forge and we’ve been coming here for 20 years. My mom said we were, “up here with Jesus,” and she wasn’t far off. Pretty sure Jesus wasn’t far off either. It’s WAAAY up the mountain but the drive wasn’t bad to me. We’ve had way, way worse. Take it slow, and it’s fine. GPS took us straight to the cabin with no issues. It’s not secluded as you can see from the pics, but it didn’t obstruct the view and it was nice having security drive through occasionally. If you’re unsure if this place is what you need, all you have to do is ask the Baers. I promise they can help you and they do it with a smile. I feel like we made new friends. We will definitely be staying here again!!!

Perfect family getaway
We've been coming to the Smokies for years and have stayed in different cabins each time. This one was our favorite. There was plenty of room for a family of 5 (you can easily sleep 8) and we were impressed with how clean the cabin was (not always the case for us when coming to the Smokies). The Fast n Furious game & arcade were a huge hit. And though our kids usually love bunk beds, once they saw the loft they were hooked and they slept up there all weekend. The hot tub seemed new (and also clean) and the view is incredible. This cabin had it all. Our hosts were very easy to connect with and they were in constant communication making sure our stay was enjoyable (which it was). And the Preserve has some awesome amenities that we haven't found with other cabins we've stayed at in the past - we spent time at the community pool / hot tub as well as the gym / sauna / steam room. We loved our stay and can't wait to be back....
