Private Wooded Setting! Theater Room! Centrally Located! 3 Decks! Fun Game Room

NEW!! JUST INSTALLED A BRAND NEW ARCADE GAME!! "Higher Expectations" is a beautiful cabin located only 15-20 minutes from downtown Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg. We are centrally located directly between these 2 towns.

Our Family enjoys getting away from home and has been visiting our cabins in the mountains for the last 10+ years to relax and unwind. We also love hiking on the many different trails here in the Smokey Mountains. The trails offered waterfalls and incredible views of the mountains.

We believe that you will fully enjoy this cabin. The Theater room is one of the main highlights for families. The property includes three decks to take in the private wooded views as well as the front porch swing to relax and to provide you with a wonderful experience. Our goal is that any guest who stays with us will want to return again.

This cabin is updated on a regular basis. We visit our cabin at least every 3 months to inspect and update as necessary.

Higher Expectations cabin is a great place to enjoy a special weekend or a honeymoon. Also it is perfect for family vacations. There are different seasons here for different experiences including flowers blooming in the spring, summer vacations, the change of leaves in the fall and the winter wonderland views which include skiing.

When you first walk in the cabin, you will view high vaulted ceilings with large picture windows and it is totally all wood inside. The two back decks include outdoor furniture, hot tub, and a charcoal grill to enjoy the great outdoors.

We are fully equipped with WiFi , TV's in each bedroom, Living room and Theater room. The game room features a pool table with bar and Foosball table. There is a fully equipped kitchen with all the amenities. The master bedroom features a Jacuzzi tub and King size bed with memory foam. Many guests have provided reviews of how comfortable this bed is. The property also offers a combo washer/dryer unit. The living room features a fireplace with a gas insert, very cozy. This cabin is furnished with towels, washcloths and all lines. We also provide free long distance phone service. Sleeps up to 2-8 people including a king bed, queen bed and 2 sofa sleepers.

There is so much to do in the Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge areas. We have yet to experience all of the many options even after visiting here for over 10 years. You can view all of the many trails that feature awesome water falls and incredible mountain top views. There is also a large Tanger outlet shopping mall, Dollywood, lots of shows and countless restaurants for great food. Activities include zip lining, mountain coaster rides, Ripley's Aquarium, many mini-golf courses, white water rafting, canoeing, fishing, skiing, horseback riding, ATV tours and so much more.

Please read the many great reviews on our cabin to understand other guests experiences at our property. Please call me to discuss or email me for additional information or details on this cabin.

Beautiful Location!
Our family really enjoyed our time at Higher Expectations. The cabin was well-stocked, and exactly as presented in the listing. We ran into a couple of small glitches, but Stan was extremely responsive and got everything squared away for us ASAP. He made the check-in process extremely easy. The location is beautiful, and we felt we were "in the woods" yet relatively close to town and activities, including Dollywood. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you, Stan!

Great Fall break
Shorter trip for our kids fall break. Place is just as described. It’s in a neighborhood but is very secluded by the neighborhood layout and vegetation. Couldn’t see any other properties from the back deck. Found hair in both showers when we arrived which grossed my girls out a little but we got past it. Beds are comfy and the game room is awesome! But I would say The best feature was the owner, Stan. Great guy and very communicative. Hot tub was in sleep mode and cold when we arrived. I texted Stan and he called immediately to walk me through how to get it going and it was hot by the evening. Really top notch service. Checked on us a couple more times throughout the trip to make sure we didn’t need anything. Would definitely stay here again.

Yearly vacation
The family enjoyed our stay. The cabin was good. All the decks, even the front porch was full of cobwebs and tree debris. The hot tub would only get luke warm. There isn't enough room to play pool downstairs. The outside grill was a huge bonus. We really enjoyed the theater room.

Owners have great communication and care if you are having a good stay. They didn’t wait until I was gone to check. They checked on me during the visit. Plenty to keep you entertained if you want to stay away from the strip and just relax at the cabin.

Beautiful cabin surrounded by nature
The pictures don’t do it justice. This is by far the best place we’ve stayed at. Communication with the owners was easy peasy. It is well stocked with everything needed. And the beds were so comfortable, And to top off the best vacation we were greeted by 4 bears on the way to the cabin. Thank you so much for sharing your place with us.

Great family cabin in the woods
We have 3 boys ranging from 7-17 and our whole family loved the cabin. Hot tub, pool table and foosball was a big hit with us. For the nights after we were back from the area activities, it was a very relaxing place to be. Stan the owner was super helpful and communicated very well through the trip when we needed him.

Perfect spring break
Host was available and reached out to check if we had everything we needed. The house was great and had everything (hot tub, pool table, movies, arcade game, smart tvs) in perfect working order as listed. The king bed was amazingly comfortable! Location was close enough to both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg but if you want to avoid those hilly, narrow, mountain roads this might not be your spot. Location was quiet, peaceful, and private. Loved it!!!

Beautiful cabin. Loved the hot tub. We came in the snow and it was beautiful. They kept up with the roads really well with all the snow. Property manager was really nice and helpful and kept in contact with us. Easy and affordable clean up process and fee. Not complicated like some properties we have visited before.

Cabin Review
We really enjoyed our stay. Cabin was very clean and nice. Kids had a blast playing pool and the board games. Only bad thing I have to say is the cabin was just a tad far back in the hills (wasn’t really that bad) and there’s no where to turn around. Overall we really enjoyed our weeks stay. The host was super friendly and frequently check in on us to see if we needed anything. I definitely would recommend to anyone. (Family of 5)
