About this house rental

Forget your worries at this specious and serene space. Forbidden retreat is your perfect Smoky Mountain family getaway. We are conveniently located close to the interstate and away from any steep roads. Just 15 minutes from Sevierville and 20 minutes from Dollywood, you’ll get all the convenience without dealing with the dreaded traffic of the Parkway. Bring the pets to enjoy the fully fenced yard while you relax on the wrap around porch with amazing views of beautiful English Mountain. The space is perfect for large families, reunions, and small events. Depending on the event details, a fee does apply. All the rooms are very large and open, but there’s still room to spread out and separate when needed. For those of you who like to cook, you cannot ask for a better kitchen in a Smoky Mountain rental. It’s truly a Chef’s kitchen. When you aren’t out enjoying the local attractions, you’ll still feel like you are at one when you stay at Forbidden Retreat. We have supplied all the amenities you can ask for and the house is even equipped with a 14 foot projector screen for streaming your favorite movies, or bring your gaming console and enjoy that as well. Don’t forget to tour Forbidden Caverns (just 2 minutes away), visit famous Bush Brothers Beans, or take a dip in beautiful Douglas Lake (we offer lake adventure trips on a boat or can recommend local rental companies.

***Pets are welcome, but there is a fee. There is an option when booking to include the fee for one animal at $150 for the stay. However, we have had issues with the website having technical errors regarding this fee. Feel free to contact us with any questions regarding this.***

As beautiful as the pictures are for this listing, they do not do it justice. The home is amazing and spacious. Family of 6 and had space for everyone to enjoy. The amenities are next level. The game room provided lots of fun and great quality time. The theater area was great. My grandson loved the pool and playground area. The property itself was so peaceful but not too far to get to attractions. From the toddler to the adults, we all loved it.

This home was absolutely wonderful! The wrap around porch was like out of a movie. Loved enjoying our coffees and tea in the morning. Anywhere you sat ,mountain views. They litterlty thought of everything and did not spare anything! Over and beyond the property was amazing. The pool was great and the temp was perfect. Beds were comfortable and we loved all of the extra throw blankets and stuff. Decor was perfection. Of course the big screen was a hit watching family movies and jamming on xbox and stuff. No complaints about this house. We will be making it an annual thing and Iryna the host was absolutely wonderful! Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful home! pool temp was perfect and the wrapoo

Property was perfect!! We had a nice time. Pool was wonderful on those 95 degree days. We never opened hot tub. My only issue was the pet/ property policies. We where on are way there and we couldn't get the key code until i agreed with these 2 policies/ waivers. It would be helpful to take care of all this book work before starting out on a vacation. I understand the reason for the waivers but I believe it could of been addressed within the 3 days before we arrived. The property is wonderful

This property has everything you could need whether staying for a few days or weeks. The hosts attention to small details is noticed as soon as you walk in. Great location gives you the feeling of being far from everything but just a few minute drive to grocery and other stores. We enjoyed the wrap around covered porch and lazy afternoons in the pool & on the sun deck. Huge projection screen in the basement was entertaining as well. We got to see a bear crossing through the neighbors property and deer/turkey in the back yard. Great place to stay. Highly recommend staying here.

My husband and I planned a family gathering and found this beautiful home. This place has everything we needed including the beautiful Mountain View’s. Because the host allows pets, we were able to bring our dogs with us. The backyard had plenty of space for them to chase bugs and run around. I am very appreciative for the dog necessities such as food and water bowls! The home had plenty of space for the entire family to enjoy the evening. We are so thankful that we chose this place. Communication with the host was also quick and easy.

Great place for the whole family! Iryna was a great hostess and was quick to respond to any messages. The house was amazing!! It was fully stocked with everything you would need and more! The location of the house is perfect- close enough to the tourist things without all the traffic and noise. It was so peaceful. We brought our dogs and she had everything needed for them from treats, dog bowls, crates and toys for them to play with. The whole family enjoyed all the amazing amenities that the house had to offer. My little one loved the playground, and we all loved the arcade games, hot tub, fire pit and theatre room. Thank you for your outstanding hospitality and we hope to come back soon!

Absolutely lovely home plenty of space and lots to do. We had a wonderful stay. There was so much to do that I wish I planned more time to stay there instead of going to all the regular tourist attractions. About 30 minutes from Pigeon Forge Lake Douglas is not far if you like water activities I would definitely rent a boat

Our family had a wonderful stay. The pictures and property description were spot on. The location provided us a private retreat with family. We felt welcomed immediately; our hostess, Iryna left us small gift to welcome us for the week. Our kids were able to enjoy playing outside, swimming in the pool and watching movies in the theater room. Everyone enjoyed the fire pit at the end of each day. The entire family enjoyed meals, and playing games on the porch. Be sure to add the Forbidden Caverns to your itinerary, less than 5 minutes from the property and enjoyed by all. Iryna was a great hostess and responded quickly to the few questions we had. Thanks for a wonderful time!!

This was the most beautiful home and my husband and our family truly enjoyed our stay. We did not want to leave! If you are reading this review, stop right here, trust the pictures and my word, and hit “BOOK NOW” before it’s too late! I promise you that you will not regret it. Iryna was amazing and made sure we had everything we needed. She also decorated for the Easter holiday with such beautiful decorations that allowed us to still celebrate Easter in a home away from home. There was plenty of room, plenty of beds, and even more beds that roll out, should you need extra. The cute pet supplies really touched our heart and made us wish we brought out furry family as well. This home was just what we were looking for: a warm home away from home and if we return, we will definitely book here again! Easy access to pigeon forge. The theatre room is so comfy and there were so many games and activities to choose from. Thank you for your amazing hospitality and for sharing your beautiful home with our family! I can’t wait to return! Listen, BOOK NOW!!!

The property is in an amazing location. Even with neighbors close and off in the distance, the sounds of nature still remain. We were able to have our wedding onsite and had perfect weather. The entertainment in the house was great to keep the kids occupied the whole weekend. Definately recommend for anyone to book in the future. Host was very helpful with anything we needed. The house has everything you could ever ask for.

My family and I stayed at this house the week after Christmas. It was a beautiful home. There were 11 adults, 2 toddlers and a baby and we had plenty of room for everyone. Both the upstairs living room and basement had plenty of room for the whole group to get together and hang out. We played board games upstairs and brought our own switch to play on the projector screen downstairs. The owners provided so much for us to use, especially for the toddlers. There was a pack and play, a high chair, and so many toys. It was very appreciated. We needed to ask the owners questions a few times while there and she was very responsive and helpful. The only thing we were worried about was that there was only 2 bathrooms (one upstairs, one downstairs). But as long as whoever is staying in the main room upstairs doesn't mind people cutting through there, it was actually just fine and we never had an issue. Kitchen was great and very well stocked, we made family dinners every night. Also appreciated having a drive way that held more than two cars like some cabins do. We easily had 4 cars in the driveway and could have had more. I would definitely recommend this cabin and we hope to come back.

Iryna’s house was wonderful! We enjoyed our stay over the Christmas holidays. The house was decorated for the holidays with lots of wonderful personal touches. Iryna left us holiday treats and stuff to make hot chocolate. She was a very responsive host and answered all of my questions promptly. The kids had a blast in the game area downstairs and the big movie screen was a hit. The hot tub was enjoyed nightly. Kitchen had everything we needed! It was a great trip and best of all the house was extremely clean which I think is one of the most important things for me. Thank you for everything Iryna! I highly recommend a stay at this property!

Our family had a wonderful stay. The house was amazing! The wrap around porch with sitting areas along had awesome views all around. Games for every age group. The kitchen had many appliances. Large refrigerator with freezer. All the bedrooms were decorated so cute. With very cute sitting areas when you want a little me time. We really felt at home. Plenty of towels. Laundry room stocked w/detergent. The TV Room w/movie theatre screen and recliners were the popular place to hang out. The owner is wonderful! She really went out of the way to make us feel at home. Even leaving an apple pie, turkey pan and turkey bags!! So very thoughtful. She really wants her guests to have the best time during their stay. With it being the holidays, she even had the house decorated for Christmas. Our family had a wonderful stay. We would definitely come back.

This property is well taken care of. It can sleep an entire family. There is entertainment on site. The layout of the house is amazing. We had a few issues with the VRBO app, but the host was able to walk us through those with ease. Amazing stay.

We enjoy staying at locations away from the ruckus of the city, and this was the perfect place for us. It’s not too far of a drive from Pigeon Forge and Sevierville, so you have access to activities, then peace at night.

Perfect house in a great location. The house is super convenient to all the attractions in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Sevierville, but located in a quiet area with NO TRAFFIC. The adults enjoyed peaceful nights sitting on the huge porches and the kids absolutely loved the massive theater room downstairs. Fun, fun, fun!!!! Vacationing in the Smokey Mountains is always a blast, but this house honestly made it hard to leave on some days. The crazy amount of amenities and the small details were amazing....the game room, the open upstairs area, even the well-stocked laundry room was perfect!!! No complaints on anything. Immaculately clean as well. Can't wait to stay here again on our next trip!!!
