Dream A Little Dream

The wood ceilings at Dream A Little Dream set the tone before you've put your bags down. They soar above the main living area where a full-size felted pool table holds court, above the king bedroom where a deep jetted tub waits, and above the farm-style dining table where mornings start slowly and nobody rushes. This is a one-bedroom Gatlinburg cabin built for the kind of trip where the point is to decompress — the hot tub on the deck, the fireplace in the evenings, bears spotted from the porch with enough regularity to feel like they come with the reservation. For two people who want the Smokies to actually feel like an escape, and a short drive to Gatlinburg when they want it, Dream A Little Dream is the answer.

The Living Area & Kitchen

The soaring wood ceilings give the main living area a warmth and presence that makes the cabin feel larger than its footprint — the kind of interior that earns a second look when you walk in. The pool table sits right in the living area rather than tucked in a separate room, which makes it naturally part of the trip rather than something to seek out. A farm-style dining table handles meals, cards, and the kind of leisurely afternoon that doesn't require a plan. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking in, and a fireplace running from October through February fills the space with warmth when the Gatlinburg evenings turn cool.

The King Suite & Jetted Tub

The king bedroom continues the wood ceiling character of the main living area, with a private bath that has a deep jetted tub — positioned for evenings that deserve an unhurried end. The bed itself has earned consistent mention for how comfortable it is, which matters more than it might seem at the end of a day on the trails or at Ober Mountain.

The Deck & Hot Tub

The deck has a porch swing and a hot tub looking out at the mountain views — and in this part of Gatlinburg, the wildlife tends to add itself to the picture. Bears have walked up close enough to photograph from this deck on more than one occasion. The charcoal grill handles outdoor cooking for anyone who wants dinner outside while the mountains go dark around them.

Location

Dream A Little Dream sits near the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Ober Mountain, Rocky Top Sports World, and the Gatlinburg Convention Center — a short drive from downtown Gatlinburg. Two parking spaces and keyless 24-hour check-in make arrival easy, with WiFi and a washer and dryer included.

Wood ceilings, a jetted tub, a pool table, a hot tub, and bears on the deck — Dream A Little Dream earns its name every night.
