About this house rental
This moody mountain escape is ready to show your group a one-of-a-kind Smokies experience. With expansive views, dramatic design, and beautiful outdoor spaces, including a hot tub cabana, Dark Horse sits 20 minutes outside Pigeon Forge, putting the Smoky Mountains at your fingertips.
Start and end your days on the spacious balcony, looking out over the treetops and surrounding mountains. There’s an al fresco dining area where you can sip and snack with the vistas as a backdrop, a BBQ grill, and comfortable outdoor seating to complete the outdoor vibes. You’ll even find a luxurious hot tub in a metal cabana to give you a unique soaking experience regardless of the season.
Inside, Dark Horse boasts playful, bold decor highlighted by bright pops of color, charming design details, and tons of natural light. The living room offers a comfortable sofa, TV, and bean bag chairs for the perfect movie night. Behind it, the pool table stands ready for friendly competition. Offering partial bench seating, the sunny dining area is an excellent place for family game nights. It sits near the modern kitchen, where you’ll find barstool seating and a full range of appliances to make at-home meals and snacks a breeze. Bonus: convenient grocery shopping is just 10 minutes away.
Your crew can spread out between five comfortable bedrooms. Four boast king beds, televisions, and ensuite bathrooms, with the fifth offering two twin-over-twin bunk beds perfect for kids.
You’ll be on a large, private lot, giving you the ultimate sense of seclusion while providing easy access to nearby Pigeon Forge and all the family-friendly and adventure activities scattered throughout the Smokies.

With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more.

If you love spending time in nature, staying active, and celebrating wildlife, a trip to the Great Smoky Mountains is a must. Located along the Tennessee/North Carolina border and home to the country's most visited national park, the Smokies provide over 800 miles of hiking trails, rivers, and a good chance at a black bear sighting.

The house was great for us! Enjoyed the views and space. Would be nice to have a couch or more comfortable chairs in the kitchen area around the tv. Also, there were no potholders which we needed when cooking. Otherwise, this was a wonderful space for our family and we enjoyed ringing in the new year in a quiet and serene atmosphere.

This home was beautiful with a beautiful view! The hosts were very welcoming. A beautiful basket of treats, pancake mix, and other items was left on the large kitchen island. We were there for the Thanksgiving Holiday, and there was a large foil pan, a large roll of foil, and a turkey baster in the basket. This was very thoughtful. The home was perfect for our family, as everyone had their own room and bathroom. There were two cozy living spaces for us to enjoy the pool table, video game, and large televisions.

House was great. The comforters need to ne washed and we didnt have wifi, which was bad because our kids missed their homework. Other than that the house and view was beautiful!
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2025
Check-in was pretty straightforward except for the cleaners still being there when we arrived, so we had to wait outside for a while. At least we knew it was clean. In addition, maintenance came to fix something about 3 hours after we checked in.

"We had a great stay, beautiful house and close to gatlinburg for restaurants and other activities. The driveway was a steep hill, but it’s expected in the mountains. Would come back! "
