WHY CHOOSE OUR CABIN- LET US COUNT THE WAYS...

LET"S START WITH REST and RELAXATION AMIDST BREATHTAKING MOUNTAIN VIEWS...

The serene setting- away from it all and nestled among the trees with the mountains as your backdrop. Two separate decks of outdoor space allow plenty of spaces to soak in the vistas with comfortable rockers, swings, hot tub, picnic table, Hammock Chair- everything you need for full outdoor relaxation!

In creating this genuine mountain experience, we have kept your comfort in mind- cozy throws to curl up, plush beds, comfortable recliners and all the small but thoughtful details such as full length mirrors, one-touch remotes, accent lighting and more!

For the most CONVENIENT LOCATION…
Away from it all and yet within minutes to dining, shopping, entertainment, the Park, and food supplies. A privileged location!
How close you may ask- well, we are located minutes away from the popular Arts and Crafts Community, 11 miles to Dollywood, 5 minutes to downtown Gatlinburg activities, and 10 minutes to the main National Park entrance. And here is another secret- we are a hop, skip and a jump from another lesser known park area- Greenbiar. We will be happy to tell you all about these trails!

FOR EASY ACCESS and LEVEL PARKING…

Paved roads lead to our cabin and level parking create a worry-free arrival- a rare find in this mountain terrain.

FOR THE COMFORTABLE ACCOMMODATIONS FOR EIGHT…

Our 2 Bedroom, 2 Bath 1800 sq. ft. spacious Log Cabin offers two separate and distinct floors of living, sleeping and entertainment space.
Each floor you will find an enclosed KING BEDROOM SUITE with comfy plush beds EACH with its convenient full bathroom with SHOWER and TUB. Also, for extra room there is a SOFA SLEEPER on EACH floor making this the perfect setting for two couples to share or families traveling with grandparents.

FOR UNFORGETTABLE FAMILY MEMORIES…

The entertainment menu begins in the GAME ROOM with a round of POOL, DARTS, or GALAGA ARCADE TABLE listening to your favorite tunes. Family times can be shared with a late-night movie in the SEPARATE HOME THEATER BONUS ROOM with State of the Art Electronics. Enjoy the 65" PLASMA HDTV with SURROUND SOUND, BLUE RAY DVD and comfortable seating for the ultimate, HOME THEATER EXPERIENCE. Our smart TV's provide cable channels along with streaming of all your favorite APPS. Let the sports fans enjoy the game downstairs while the kids are entertained with their favorite shows on the 50” HDTV in the living room upstairs.
And for the little ones- numerous options will keep them entertained for hours- their own rocking horse and rocking chair, wall bead maze, games, puzzles, books, Bear Blackboard, and their very own coloring corner, with one of a kind Black Bear table and chair.

FOR ROMANCE…

For that romantic honeymoon, anniversary, or simply a couple’s getaway, look no further, romance is always in the air at High Expectations. We have provided all the essentials, privacy all around, a cozy fireplace, and a hot tub conveniently located two steps from the Master Suite. Add serene mountain vistas, moonlit evenings and starry skies – the perfect recipe for wonderful memories in the making!

For the FAMILY CHEF…

A FULLY equipped upscale kitchen of custom cabinets, granite and stainless appliances provides a beautiful backdrop for preparing light snacks to gourmet meals. But it is the small essential tools that make meal preparation a breeze: blender, crock pot, mixers, serving dishes, garlic press, brand name knives, wine openers to ice scream scoops!
And if the outdoors is calling you, step into the grilling nook- an inviting landscaped stone patio with B.B.Q. GRILL and enjoy your meal on the lovely picnic table with spectacular views of the Smoky Mountains!

The cabin was a wonderful place to relax and spend time with family. You really don’t have to drive miles to see the gorgeous mountain views of Gatlinburg because it’s right in front of your eyes. We enjoyed watching playful bears as we drove to our cabin which was a treat to us. The cabin was decorated beautifully and had everything we needed to have a wonderful stay. We would love to come again.

Absolutely cannot say enough great things about this cabin. So many details make your stay a very cozy and relaxing one. Perfect distance from the busy main strip but close enough for convenience. Definitely enjoyed the game room, hot tub and picture perfect view. So quiet and peaceful, makes for a great way to reset. Beds are very cozy, immaculately maintained, and no detail is left out. Our family made lifelong memories here and cannot wait to come back very soon. Thank you so much for making our trip a memorable one!

We went on our first vacation with the in laws and we enjoyed staying at this cabin. We enjoyed the early morning views from both decks and the pool table. I loved how there was an area for our daughter to play, she loved it and she she was able to be close by when we played pool. This cabin is every close to gatlingburg and pigeon forge where we spent most of our days. We look forward to vacationing here again.

This was the 3rd time we stayed at High Expectations. It's a beautiful cabin situated in a quiet neighborhood with amazing mountain views. It is away from the hustle and bustle but is only minutes from the attractions and restaurants. The cabin is equipped with everything you might need and it has flat parking. We even seen a bear in the backyard this time. Jeannette is a great host and takes care of things right away if the need arises. Looking forward to our next Gatlinburg trip.

Great communication prior to our arrival, we arrived late in the evening to a clean beautiful log cabin. In the morning we enjoyed coffee on the deck overlooking the Smoky Mountains listening to the birds. The cabin offers plenty of areas to relax, enjoy the hot tub overlooking the mountains or to have fun in the game room. The location is perfect, away from the busyness of Gatlinburg but close enough to go into town or the National Park. We had no complaints and highly recommended this property if visiting the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area!

Not just the place but all the little things…like a cosmetic mirror in the bathroom, nice kitchen ware, great TV selection. We like to hike and come every year to do that & have great food!
