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 23rd year as a family vacation getaway--is only a 5 minute 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!

10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
We had such a great time! We spent a day in Pigeon Forge and a day in Gatlinburg, but had just as much fun playing cards and horseshoes back at the cabin. It is very important to follow the directions given by the host and not follow apple/Google Maps. It took us way out of the way! Other than that, it was a wonderful vacation.
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
The cabin was great. We loved all the outdoor space. It was clean. We had one complaint. The cabin got very warm in the afternoon and the AC only went down to 69 degrees. I messaged the caretaker and she said the owner was in Germany and to open the windows. The windows were very hard to open to cool the cabin down. We like to sleep at 65 degrees. But other than that, the cabin was perfect for our family of 5. It had every thing we could’ve needed.
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2026
This was the perfect home base for our family of four. The cabin was exceptionally clean—which is a top priority for my wife—and clearly well-maintained. Its location near Pigeon Forge is excellent, making it a quick and easy drive to everything we needed. Additionally, the host was incredibly responsive whenever we had questions. We’ve already added this to our favorites list for our future trips to Dollywood!

This cabin is wonderful! The communication with the staff was great. The listing staff really pays attention to details. Even though we only travel to the Gatlinburg area every few years, we will be back.
