There are tons of cabins in the mountains, so why choose us? We are owners, not investors. There’s a big difference! We have an amazing team on the ground and we pride ourselves in exceeding your expectations (just peep our reviews!). And, we're from New Orleans so, of course, there's a little Lagniappe when you arrive!

Our six bedroom, eight bath cabin is over 4,700 sq. ft. total and comfortably sleeps up to 20 people - in beds! Our tables seat 20 with three additional seats at the bar. Here are a few of the amenities we offer:

Upon arrival you'll be awestruck by panoramic views of the Smoky Mountains. Cozy up to our two story stone fireplace and enjoy a glass of wine or early morning coffee. Step outside onto the expanded deck with built in gas fire pit. We designed our outdoor space to minimize obstructions and maximize the views. The Master and first bedroom are on this floor, both with en-suite bathrooms.

Head upstairs to find four more bedrooms, each with their own en-suite bathrooms. All bedrooms are professionally decorated and have 50 inch flat screen, mounted SMART tv’s and plenty of floor space. There's a cozy balcony with rockers off the front room too!

Downstairs you'll find all the fun!! Our game room is stocked with multicade video game, a pool table and a poker table. We also have a huge 65” flat screen SMART tv with surround sound and a pub table.

Off the game room you'll find our cozy 🎥🍿 theater room 🍿🎥 with surround sound. With plush recliner seating for 13 and bean bags and blankets galore, it's perfect for family movie night or watching a big game!

Just off the game room you'll find our indoor pool and an outdoor hot tub with views from every angle. Step outside on the lower level balcony and grab a rocker, sit back, relax and enjoy the views on our second expanded deck.

Why did we build our dream cabin here? In 1966 two young New Orleanians (our late parents) decided to honeymoon in the Smoky Mountains. For years they raved about the beauty of the area. When they passed we found souvenirs from their honeymoon and were instantly flooded with smiles and wonderful memories. At that moment we took their inspiration and decided to build a cabin to continue making memories with our children. You can find those souvenirs from 1966 in a shadow box on the main floor.

If you ever consider traveling to the 🏖 beach🏖 we'd love to host you there too. My brother and I both own a beach condo Gulf Shores. Those condos are much smaller and sleep 7 and 6 respectively. You can find those details at www.vrbo.com/964835 and www.vrbo.com/1620492.
