Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee

Closer to Home

Gatlinburg cabin with hot tub, pool table and exquisite mountain views

Take in the natural beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains from Closer to Home, a 4-bedroom, 4-bath retreat with green-canopy views overlooking more than 40 acres of native trees, and a feeling of total seclusion just 10 minutes from restaurants, museums and family-friendly activities.

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 Dollywood, Ripley’s Aquarium, WonderWorks, and more.

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.

A modern cabin with cathedral ceilings, log beams, hardwood floors and wood-paneled walls, Closer to Home has the ambiance of a rustic lodge. Ideal for large families, groups of friends or even corporate retreats, this two-level home offers multiple living spaces decks, a furnished deck on each level, and accommodations for up to 14 guests.

An open floor plan on the main level creates a seamless flow between the great room, kitchen and dining area, with natural light flooding the space through floor-to-ceiling windows and glass doors, which lead to an expansive, wrap-around deck. In the great room, a full-length leather sofa offers a front-row seat to the large-screen TV, while two cozy armchairs invite you to curl up by the stacked-stone fireplace.

The adjacent 10-seat dining table offers dinner with a view, overlooking the deck and mountains beyond through a wall of glass. You’ll find three additional seats at the kitchen breakfast bar. Fully equipped with modern appliances, granite countertops and a spacious island, the kitchen is sure to inspire home-cooked meals. A charcoal grill on the front porch will broaden your menu, while two log picnic tables -- one on the upper deck and one in the front yard -- invite you to dine al fresco.

On the lower level, a second living area offers evening entertainment with two plush sofas, a second fireplace, and a flat-screen TV with cable. Sharpen your pool game on the full-sized table or bring your favorite board games to enjoy a screen-free night around the card table.

All bedrooms also feature a ceiling fan, high-definition TV, en-suite bath and ample storage. Two primary suites feature king-sized beds, while the guest bedrooms each have two queen-sized beds, sleeping four in each room. A queen sleeper sofa offers additional accommodations for two.

As a guest of Closer to Home, you’ll also enjoy the convenience of a private washer and dryer, and a private, over-sized hot tub on the lower deck with room for up to six people. You’ll also have access to the amenities of Black Bear Falls Log Home Community, including a clubhouse with heated adult and children’s swimming pools, available for summer use. After a swim, lounge on a poolside chaise or retreat from the sun at a table on the covered patio.

For adventures beyond your mountaintop perch, take advantage of ample parking to explore the surrounding area, including the Great Smoky Mountains National Park Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies, the Gatlinburg Mountain Coaster, family-friendly restaurants and more, all within a 15-minute drive.

The cabin was prefect! Just enough room with amazing views. The Cleanliness was a different story. The living room ceiling fan was so dirty we couldn’t even turn it on. Items were found under two beds from previous guest. Many cob webs on the kitchen chandler

Beautiful cabin with fantastic views! Really close to Gatlinburg but felt like we were miles out in the middle of nowhere. This is my second stay in this cabin, and I can’t wait to go back next year. I would recommend this cabin to anyone.

Everything was great. The cabin was clean and everything was as promised. I really enjoyed my time there. The only issue we had was with the tv remotes. They seemed to be mixed up between rooms and we couldn't get some of them to work.

We loved the cabin and the location there were only a small amount of issues with our stay. We were never able to fully connect to the Wi-Fi, a few of the fans in the house did not work, remotes were missing and batteries out of ones that were remaining were as well. Overall it was a beautiful view from the home and I personally enjoyed reading the guest book and seeing everyone’s story. Thank you for having us stay.

When I would call the office they were very nice and helpful. The cabin was very nice. The hot tub was not working we called and they had some one quickly to fix it. All 10 had a great time.

Excellent cabin

Loved this cabin, fantastic views! Very clean and well stocked. We had a great time here. 15 minutes from downtown Gatlinburg but still had quiet mountain charm. Staff was helpful answering any questions that I had. Definitely would book again.
