About this cabin rental
► Pet stays must be approved BEFORE you book.
► Dog owners, please scroll down🔻 for details how to request a pet stay.
Welcome to your new, favorite cabin in the Smokies! Swaying Pines--now in its 22nd year as a family vacation getaway--is only 5 minutes' drive to Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge. And the Great Smoky Mountains National Park Gatlinburg entrance is only 6.5 miles away.
You'll be right around the corner (about 200 feet) from a community catch-and-release 5 acre fishing lake. Since it's private property, you won't need a fishing license. Just pack your poles and try your best angling skills on the bass, catfish, sunfish and grass carp. Or if you're not into fishing, take a peaceful morning walk by the water and watch the resident ducks and seasonal geese.
What can you expect outdoors at this cabin?
🔲 Paved driveway and parking for 2-3 vehicles
🔲 5 steps up to the deck
🔲 Small yard with horseshoe pits (non-regulation)
🔲 Large deck with outdoor dining and seat cushions
🔲 Nordic hot tub (4-5 person) with cover lift bar
🔲 Charcoal grill
🔲 Outdoor lighting (well-lit driveway and deck)
🔲 Schlage keyless entry with your own, unique key code
Once inside, you'll see the living/dining area and just beyond that the kitchen. Right off the kitchen is the master bedroom with king bed, bathroom and laundry. The second floor has a full bed at the top of the stairs in the loft and a queen bed in the bedroom. The second floor bedroom has an ensuite bathroom with a tiled stall shower. Here's what you'll find in both bedrooms:
🔲 King bed: Novaform ComfortGrande Plus, Advanced Gel Memory Foam for temperature regulation and medium firmness
🔲 Queen bed: Novaform 3" memory foam plush topper on commercial coil-spring mattress. This bed is ideal if you like a bit softer, pillow-top mattress.
🔲 Plush pillows and quality linens (we replace our pillows every 12-18 months)
🔲 Ceiling fan
🔲 Desk, chair and desk lamp
🔲 Dresser or armoire for clothing storage
🔲 Extra large mirrored closet
🔲 Luggage rack
🔲 Wooden hangers
🔲 55" Insignia smart TV with Spectrum cable in master bedroom
🔲 46" Sharp smart TV with Spectrum cable in queen bedroom.
The kitchen is well-equipped with quality cookware, glass bakeware, half-sheet baking pans, pizza pan, wood cutting board and knife block, grilling utensils, etc. Swaying Pines has plenty of small appliances, too:
🔲 Cuisinart waffle maker
🔲 Ninja smoothie blender
🔲 Crockpot
🔲 Toaster
🔲 Keurig
🔲 Drip coffeemaker
🔲 Electric kettle
🔲 Icemaker (in freezer)
Finally, the living space. We've stayed in a few hotels and vacation rentals over the years and discovered it's hard to find really comfortable furniture. That why we invested in quality reclining furniture (the sofa is electric). The dining table and chairs are over 20 years old but they're solid and sit comfortably. We even have some chair pads on them for a little extra cush :). We have blackout blinds at the windows and louvered door blinds for added privacy. There's a variety of good lighting (accent, task and ambient).
There is a single Ring security floodcam that lights up the driveway as you pull in. The video field is trimmed to record only the driveway and the 5 stairs leading up to the cabin. This camera allows us to monitor inclement weather at the cabin and have a record of when our housekeeping, pest control or any other service providers have been there. We don't actively monitor this camera but may do so occasionally if something requires our attention.
We want you to have an amazing vacation and make sure Swaying Pines is a good fit for your needs. Please let us know if you have any questions prior to booking!

The cabin was very nice, super clean and perfect for our stay. We loved it!

Was a great place to stay, quiet, peaceful, clean, and had all the necessities.

This is a great place if you’re looking for somewhere close to Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg without being in town. It’s only 5 minutes from the Gatlinburg Welcome Center where you can catch the trolley. My family had a great time and we even saw a local black bear! Check in/out went very smooth. Cabin was very clean. We had a couple issues with some furniture items, but Blue Mist Cabins did reach out to address them. Overall a great experience and would use them again!
10.0 / 10.0
We enjoyed the cabin from the moment we walked inside. The cabin’s cleanliness and overall ambiance was a “good vibe”!! A little tricky getting there at night, but once you’ve been there you know how to maneuver the roads! Equipped with everything even the pet bowls! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and in town activities and events. Great hosts!

This being our 4th summer visiting the great Smokey Mountains from Buffalo NY, we were very pleased with our stay. Location was perfect, cabin was beautiful, and we even had a visiting Bear twice. I would highly recommend to family and friends booking the swaying pines cabin.

We loved every aspect of this beautiful cabin/home. The only thing that I would add to it is a colander. Lol. Made spaghetti and couldnt find one. Other than that we totally enjoyed our time. Would highly recommend to anyone in search of a peaceful place.

Blown away from the second we opened the door. Beautiful, pet friendly, & perfect location. I will admit I was glad my husband did all the driving because the driveway was a bit tricky but that’s no big surprise in the mountains. It was by far the nicest, best equipped rental we have ever stayed in and we hope to return again. Even our pup felt right at home which isn’t always the case in a pet friendly rental. Communication was excellent and cleanliness top notch. So happy we found a true home away from home.

First time in the Smokey Mountains and we loved everything about the cabin! Location was great-away from all the busyness of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge but close enough to explore anytime. Cabin was clean and welcoming. Jen was great to work with as well. We will definitely rent from them again!

Our stay was great at blue mist cabins. It was clean and welcoming when we arrived. It's in the perfect location for quick access to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The huge deck that is perfect for relaxing surrounded by nature after long days of sightseeing.

Great little cabin! Clean and spacious with enough room for my family of 4. Had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Didn’t get a chance to enjoy the outside due to weather and activities but was quiet. Great communication! Only negative were the roads to get up to the house. I can’t imagine if there was ice or snow. Overall we would definitely book again.

10.0 / 10.0
We absolutely loved our stay at this fabulous and quaint cabin. The pictures do not do it justice. The cabin is perfectly nestled between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. You can reach either place in just minutes, yet the location is away from the hustle and bustle. The location is just so peaceful. The cabin is also very clean and well-stocked. You can tell that a lot of thought went into anticipating items guest might need to make their stay more comfortable and convenient. We usually visit the area once a year and this has been my favorite place to stay so far. We will definitely be booking here again in the future. Special thank you to Blue Mist Cabin Rentals for communicating so easily also. They were very professional and friendly.

We recently returned from our stay at Swaying Pines. Like others, we read all the reviews and looked at the photos from this home. Even with all the positives, we were still nervous to arrive because you just never know what you will get. Well, we got exactly what we wanted and the reviews/photos were all on point. Very clean, very comfortable and very well stocked with everything that we needed. We had our pup with us and they even had a jar of dog treats for her. The home is close to everything in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We had a great time and would definitely stay here again!
10.0 / 10.0
My family and I stayed at this cabin during the Christmas holiday for 7 days. We appreciated the fact that there was a small Christmas tree and other holiday decorations throughout the main living area.
The cabin is located very close to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, which made it easy to drive to attractions in these areas. The cabin is located in a quiet area.
We enjoyed walks on the property, fishing, and feeding the ducks. Amy (Host) was readily available to us when we had questions and was super attentive and professional.
We would definitely stay in this cabin again if we travelled back to this area.

The cabin was exactly as pictured and Amy was so easy to communicate with. The small touches throughout the cabin were appreciated and my kids both loved the wooden toy train! The cabin is perfectly located between Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge but nicely tucked away for peaceful evenings. I loved the iPad/tablet which also provided recommendations and addresses.
Thank you so much for sharing this piece of heaven with us. I would 10/10 recommend this property!

We have verizon and had no service here but there wifi is amazing i highly recommend this place.

The cabin is perfectly situated between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Super clean and inviting. We enjoyed the hot tub and even had a bear siting (from a distance) driving up to the cabin. We also really like the pond and did lots of laps. We would highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

Property was just as described and very clean. Location had a remote feel, though very convenient to all the attractions. Nice yard for our dogs. Would not hesitate to stay here again!!!

We were greeted with an easy electronic check in and so many little touches that made us feel welcome and at home the minute we walked in the door. I think the owners have thought of everything! I don't want to give away all the special touches for those that may choose to stay here, but we appreciated it all so much! The beds are super important when sleeping away from home and this home has such comfy awesome beds! We also really appreciated the fact that there was a baby gate. We put the gate up and didn't allow our dog upstairs. He would've been fine of course upstairs, but it's the same rule in our own home because he's a sock bandit and it was nice to keep things for our littlest traveler the same routine as at home. The internet connection was awesome, which was important because of work and school, so thank you for that also! The roads leading to the cabin were easy and not massive steep hills like most other homes in the mountains. The location was perfect for daily excursions and it was a short drive to many locations. We picked up after our dog, but the house across the street had people renting that allowed their dog to wander over and go in the grass. We didn't sign up to pick up after their dog too. That was an unfortunate frustration for the last few days we were there, but not a deal breaker. The lake was gorgeous and we saw 3 bear in the stream! I think the house would benefit from a dehumidifier and renters wouldn't mind monitoring it. Overall, wonderful!!
8.0 / 10.0
This was our first trip to TN and we loved it! We could not have asked for a better location - so easy and close to all the local attractions. The kids enjoyed having their own space in the house and we had our fair share of visits from neighboring bears. We brought our lab baby with us and he really loved his daily walks around the fishing pond. We felt very welcome with the notes and treats that were left for us and felt right at home. Thank you for an amazing stay!
10.0 / 10.0
We got away for 4 days and rented this cabin. We all loved the cabin. had everything we needed. great location between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinberg. Only thing was we thought the pond was with in walking distance. well it is if you walk through the woods and deal with a drop off. We had to drive over to the pond to fish. But all in all it was a fun place to stay. we hope to be back again next year.
