Mountain/Town Views, Private, Firepit, 1 mile to Pkwy, Above Dollywood, Hot Tub

Welcome to Thistle Britches Cabin!

Nestled atop Parrot Mountain on a secluded one-acre lot, Thistle Britches Cabin is your perfect Smoky Mountain getaway. With breathtaking views, unbeatable privacy, and a location just minutes from Dollywood, Splash Country, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg, this cabin offers the best of both worlds. Whether you're here to relax, explore, or even work remotely, this cabin provides the space and amenities to make your stay truly memorable.

Why Choose Thistle Britches Cabin?

Privacy and location make Thistle Britches truly unique. Unlike other cabins that feel more like neighborhoods, our property is surrounded by woodlands on three sides, providing you with a private, peaceful escape. Sitting at the highest elevation on Parrot Mountain, you’ll enjoy stunning, unobstructed views of the Smoky Mountains, the Pigeon Forge Strip, and, during winter, the ski slopes of Ober Gatlinburg.

Despite its privacy, the cabin is just minutes away from everything you want to explore. Dollywood and Splash Country are less than a mile away, and our back-road access ensures you avoid the main traffic routes while still reaching Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge quickly and easily.

As one guest put it, "It feels like a world away, but everything is so close. The views are incredible, and the privacy is unmatched."

Features That Make Your Stay Special

At Thistle Britches, we’ve designed every detail to make your visit comfortable and unforgettable.

Luxury Hot Tub

The hot tub is a favorite among guests, and it’s easy to see why. Featuring 56 jets, Bluetooth speakers, a subwoofer, and an LED waterfall, it’s the perfect place to unwind after a day of hiking or sightseeing. Whether you’re enjoying a quiet morning soak or relaxing under the stars while listening to Dollywood’s nightly fireworks, the hot tub adds a special touch to your stay.

One recent guest shared, "The hot tub was the highlight of our trip. It’s the perfect way to relax and take in the stunning views."

Entertainment for Everyone

No matter who you’re traveling with, the cabin offers plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained:
- Game Loft: Enjoy a game of pool, darts, or classic arcade games like Joust and Gauntlet.
- Media Room: Perfect for movie nights, featuring a large LED TV and two queen sleeper sofas.
- Smart TVs: Stream your favorite shows with Hulu Live, Netflix, Disney+, ESPN+, and Prime Video.

One guest noted, "The kids loved the media room while we enjoyed a quiet evening upstairs. It was perfect for everyone."

Fully Equipped Kitchen

Cooking for your group is a breeze with a well-stocked kitchen that includes black granite countertops, drip coffee pot, a Keurig coffee maker, crockpot, blender, and all the utensils and cookware you’ll need. Whether it’s a quick breakfast or a family dinner, the kitchen is ready for any meal.

One review said, "The kitchen had everything we needed, and we loved dining on the deck with those incredible views."

Remote Work Friendly

Need to get some work done? The main-level bedroom includes a dedicated workstation and high-speed WiFi, offering the perfect spot to stay productive while surrounded by nature.

Spacious and Comfortable

With two king bedrooms and three queen sleeper sofas, the cabin comfortably sleeps up to eight guests. Each floor offers a blend of privacy and shared space, making it ideal for families or groups.

A recent guest shared, "The layout worked perfectly for our group. Everyone had their own space, but we loved gathering together on the deck and around the fire pit."

Outdoor Amenities

The outdoor spaces at Thistle Britches are just as inviting as the interior:
- Deck: Start your day with coffee as the sun rises or end it with a glass of wine while watching the sunset.
- Fire Pit: Roast marshmallows, share stories, and soak in the fresh mountain air.
- Yard: The large, flat yard is a rare feature in mountain cabins and provides a great space for kids and pets to play.

"Our favorite memories were made sitting by the fire pit, watching the Dollywood fireworks," said one guest.

Perfectly Located

While the cabin feels like a private sanctuary, it’s just minutes from the area’s top attractions:
- Dollywood and Splash Country: Less than a mile away, making it easy to visit multiple times during your stay.
- Pigeon Forge: A quick drive to shopping, dining, and family-friendly activities along the Parkway.
- Gatlinburg: Explore this charming town and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
- Parrot Mountain: Just down the hill, this unique attraction lets you interact with tropical birds in a beautiful garden setting.

One family wrote, "The location couldn’t have been better. It’s so close to everything but feels completely private."

Amazing Views
Four of us rented this cabin for two nights. The views are amazing. This property has many amenities suck as a stocked kitchen (plates, cups, etc.), hot tub and a game area. Beds were comfortable as well so sleep was also good. Minutes to dollywood, which was very nice as the drive back after a long day was quick. The location/neighborhood is amazing! Take caution getting to and from this property as the grade of the foad/driveway is very steep and narrow but paved, Which could get a bit tricky to maneuver if you met another vehicle. Overall experience 10/10, will definitely stay again if in the area.

You won’t want to leave! It’s amazing!
What a gorgeous cabin! The location is fantastic! Restaurants, shopping, and entertainment are all just a few minutes away but when you get to the cabin it is so peaceful, quiet and relaxing that you will feel like it is all a world away! There are only 3 steps to reach the main floor of the home from the driveway which made moving our luggage to and from the cabin a breeze! The cabin is warm and welcoming and we felt right at home. The beds are incredibly comfortable and the showers have great water pressure. We enjoyed being able to relax in the hot tub after days of exploring the local towns. The hot tub has a roof over it which was a great surprise. It gives you protection from rain or sun without obstructing the incredible scenery. The privacy of this home is exceptional! There is only one other home on the driveway that you enter on but it is at a lower elevation from this cabin and you can’t see the other home at all from the rooms or deck areas which we loved! You truly have the top of the mountain to yourself. The cabin is very well stocked and linens and towels were provided. The entire road up to the cabin is paved and signs are in place to help easily locate the home. The owners ensure that you have the ability to contact them very easily if you ever need to. We did not have any issues at all and were able to observe the northern lights from the cabin during our stay. Truly a trip to remember! We look forward to staying here again in the future!

Perfect secluded getaway in the mountains
This cabin was absolute perfection for our family and had everything we could have asked for. Location - easy to get to and right near Dollywood, but away from the main drag of Pigeon Forge. It's a large lot and there was only one other cabin on the driveway, so it was very quiet and peaceful with an unobstructed view from the wraparound balcony. Groceries, restaurants, and attractions were all within a 5-10 minute drive. The cabin was spacious and all the amenities you could need and then some. Our kids loved the hot tub and arcade as well as having their own floor downstairs. The outdoor sitting area outside under the blooming dogwood tree was so peaceful - I could have sat there forever. Everything was in great shape and working order. So grateful to have found Thistle Britches!

Amazing Cabin and View!
I have greatly enjoyed my stay at this cabin. The views were so nice to look at each day, especially during sunrise and sunset. The location was absolutely perfect. It was so quiet at the cabin no matter what time I was there. It was also close to town and other nearby cities I wanted to visit. This cabin actually felt like home to me during my stay. The cabin was clean and the kitchen was well stocked with pans, utensils, seasonings, etc. The bathrooms were also well stocked with towels as well. That was well appreciated from my family. The downstairs was very nice as well. My dogs and I enjoyed being able to walk outside from the downstairs living area. I would catch myself just taking the view in every chance I could get. I highly recommend this cabin. It had enough games and things for us to do inside when it rained and it was truly so close to town, so we enjoyed every moment of it. The road was farily easy and paved so we enjoyed that too. I am definitely wanting to come back to this cabin one day in the future!
