Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee

Buck's Lookout #39

Delightful cabin with captivating views, hot tub, game room, and fireplaces

Enjoy your mountain retreat from the top of the world in Buck's Lookout. This two-bedroom, two-bath luxury cabin comfortably sleeps six, and provides all the comforts of home. Guests can get their beauty rest in one of the two queen-sized accommodations, or the queen-sized sleeper sofa.

The beauty of a vacation in the Smokies can only be enhanced by its remote location and solitude! Therefore, please be advised that the WIFI in this area is unstable. Downloading, streaming, and/or video conferencing may not be available.

Both bedrooms feature a television, a jetted-tub, and a private bath, with the main-level bedroom containing access to a private deck and the upstairs bedroom, a gas fireplace. Enjoy the cozy living room, featuring a big-screen television, an impressive, stone-stacked, wood fireplace, and more than enough room for everyone.

When you book your stay at this cabin, you receive free admission to popular Smoky Mountain attractions with Xplorie. This program entitles our guests to one free adult admission ticket, per night stay, to attractions like Ripley’s Aquarium, WonderWorks, Rowdy Bear Coaster, and more.

Cooking is simple in the fully-equipped kitchen, complete with large and small appliances. Serve dinner at the five-person dining table, with additional seating at the island. Buck’s Lookout provides hours of fun in the game room, where guests can shoot a game of pool, enjoy a drink and snacks at the wet bar, or gaze at the awe-inspiring view of the Great Smokies from the over-sized windows. Out on the porch, guests can soak in the hot tub, swing on the porch swing, settle in one of the rockers, or prepare dinner on the charcoal grill.

We apologize but Buck's Lookout does not accept pets.

Please note that guests must be at least 21 years of age to rent this property.

Our commode would not flush, but my husband was able to fix it each time and we lost groceries because the fridge did not work even after we turned the temp down for 24 hours, but these are things that just happen. This is our second time staying at brothers cove and Im about to book another weekend trip in March. We love it there.

Amazing views of the mountains! The cabin was so clean, and the hosts were always in contact if you needed anything and replied so quick! The pool was a definite bonus! Also, so many bears, which we loved right by our cabin! Already planning our next trip back!

Everything was top notch! I wasn’t expecting so many extras such as it being a gated community, having special boxes of products in bathrooms and kitchen, great communication with texts to say the cabin was ready and to make sure all was ok the day after we arrived. The community pool was fantastic. All the details really make it amazing!! Great customer service and upscale amenities. As we drove away from the cabin, heading home, I researched other areas where Natural Retreats operates because I want to be a repeat customer. Very impressed with Natural Retreats!!

The cabin was just as pictured, although no photo can quite capture the actual beauty of the views both in the front and back of the cabin. The steepness of the driveway was a bit daunting at first (coming from flat Florida and driving a giant SUV), but we got used to it. What a peaceful, beautiful place to spend a couple of days while exploring the Smokies and surrounding areas. We truly enjoyed our stay. Perfection in the mountains.

The Natural Retreats rental Buck's Lookout #39 was as great as last year. We love this place. The rocker recliner was broken and needs to be fixed, and the front railing was loose. The Natural Retreats staff was fantastic and did everything they could to make our stay excellent. The owner should make some repairs and/or improvements in some areas.

Loved it! The cabin was neat and tidy, and the location was easy to find. The view is gorgeous. Use their booking connections bc you get all sorts of complimentary admissions for entertainment in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Sieverille. We will def be back during the Spring.

Bucks Outlook was a huge blessing for my husband and I. We have busy schedules, so this time was very important to us. We travel a lot globally. The view was spectacular. The place was clean! The area was beautiful in general. We want to come back with our team and bless them after we finish our tour, early April of 2021. We are looking into one of your bigger cabins to accommodate all of us. As for Bucks--- one big suggestion is a KING bed in at least one of the rooms.... We were so blessed by our time there. Thank you.

We stayed a week in October and experienced wonderful views at any location of the cabin, the cabin was beautiful and very comfortable. All the necessities of home provided. Very peaceful. Look forward to return stay.

Relaxing

The home was beautiful and relaxing. Very quiet despite cabins on both sides. Never bothered by neighbors. Pool close by (def a plus). Drive up hill kind of crazy but my little toyota corolla made it. would definitely go back. Beautiful area and it was so quiet, I did yoga on the deck. Just wish it were closer. I'd go back more often.

Incomparable mountain views

We were recommended to this cabin when our "regular" was booked. We weren't sure what to expect. We were very pleasantly surprised. The views are simply awesome. The best we have had in the Smokies after a decade renting cabins. I loved being able to cook and see the view while I worked. The upper bedroom view is beautiful. Even from the bathtub. The level of privacy is tremendous. The beds are very comfortable. As you walk out of the bedroom, you are greeted with the most beautiful vistas from the windows in the game room. You just cannot beat these views. And they surround you. They change hour by hour. If you come to the Smokies for mountain views, this is the place. We have always loved Brothers Cove because it is so beautifully natural. This particular cabin really emphasizes all that is beautiful there. It has neighboring cabins, but they are almost unnoticeable. The place is well equipped, but could use a little refresher. I would pay more for the unit if it were brought up to date in a couple of ways. They could use new family room furniture. They could definitely use new seat cushions on the dining room chairs. They need a few more serving bowls for people who cook. But otherwise, there is very little to criticize. Sure, they could put in more modern finishes, but the rustic charm is nice for what it is. My husband and I have a gorgeous modern home in our home state. Buck's is not that. It is mountain charm. With everything you need for comfort. Thanks again to the staff of Natural Retreats who gave us great service. We will see you in the fall!

What a view!

We visited in July! Cabin had everything we needed. It was clean and spacious. We had a bear visit us too! The property has many butterflies and cardinals we saw all week. My kids loved the little lizards! I would suggest they update the furniture. We couldn’t eat at the dining table because the chairs sank in so much we felt like the table was at our chins. It was a beautiful place, great location a wonderful place that felt like home! Can’t wait to visit again!

Awsome cabin

My wife and I spent a week in June at this cabin. We were blown away by the quality and cleanliness of the cabin. Everything that we wanted was there from soaps, wash cloths, towels, linens, AC, heat, lighted stair way, fans, on and on. Also the response from the office to any questions or issues, was always there.

Amazing views and almost perfect house.

My parents and husband visited in mid June 2018. We thought the cabin views were absolutely gorgeous- totally perfect. The house was the perfect amount of space for 4 adults. The place was completely spotless. Our only constructive criticism was the grill is in need of some maintenance (picture provided). The charcoal struggled to stay on the grate because it was so warped. We grilled two out of the three nights we were there so it’s still useable, but it was frustrating my Dad as he grilled.

Unbeatable view!!!

This is the second time my wife and I have visited Buck's Lookout and it never disappoints. The front porch has the best view of the smokies and the cabin is spacious and secluded despite being so close to other cabins. Modern amenities are never lacking and the cabin is updated nicely. We will definitely be back!

Perfect Family vacation!

We enjoyed staying at Buck's Lookout. Coincidentally we had rented the same cabin in April 2011! The views of the mountain are great. Kids enjoyed the hot tub. They were also entertained with the games and puzzles available. We loved having our breakfast and dinner outside on the deck. The cabin itself was in great condition. We would surely return.

Wonderful vacation!

We stayed in bucks lookout at brothers cove. The cabin was wonderful. Clean and comfortable. All 4 of us loved it and we are already talking about returning. The view from the back deck was spectacular and we spent most of our time out there. The people at brothers cove were great too. Highly recommend it!

Beautiful home but lacking customer service

The house is beautiful with an incredible view but there were some maintenance issues that were inconvenient and annoying in the house. The customer service was lacking. I requested a high chair months before the trip but when I got there I was told they were all taken already. A few days before the trip, we were told we wouldn't have access to the house for hours on our first day because they decided to pave the access road. The road up through Brothers Cove to the house has some low spots that made the bottom of the car hit. We also didn't have water to the house for almost a full day and we couldn't reach anybody in the local office for information or to report the issue.

Happy to say all the reconstuction is complete should love the place. I am sorry to the quest who stayed during the remake. The cabin needed some upgrades. Thank you.

Breathtaking View but....

We just got back from our vacation and the view was just breathtaking! Our only disappointment was the safety on the deck. There was caution tape, rotten posts on the deck and two by fours nailed keeping the deck together. Where is the upkeep on the deck and keeping the guests safe so far up? Inside the cabin was very nice!
