Maple Top

Most Smoky Mountain cabins come with a steep driveway and a hike from the car to the door. Maple Top doesn't. Flat, paved parking right at the entrance — a detail that sounds minor until you're unpacking a family of eight — and a fenced backyard with a horseshoe pit and cornhole, a screened porch, an open deck with a hot tub, a stone fireplace, three king bedrooms, two arcade game consoles, and The Island minutes away. For families who want a comfortable, well-equipped Pigeon Forge base that doesn't make arrival and departure into a production, this is the one.

The Living Area & Kitchen

Cathedral ceilings with exposed beams and glowing wood floors give the main living area a warmth that settles the group in immediately. A stone fireplace runs from October through February, leather sofas and armchairs invite long evenings in, and a flat-screen Smart TV handles the quieter nights. The kitchen is fully equipped with a Keurig, coffee maker, and everything needed for group cooking — with a bar counter that seats three and a wood dining table just steps away, both looking out through glass doors to the wooded yard beyond.

The Bedrooms

Two king bedrooms on the main level have log bed frames and their own private feel — no stairs required, which makes Maple Top work equally well for guests who want everything on one floor. The third king bedroom upstairs has its own attached bath with custom wood tiling and an arcade console built into the room, making it a natural destination for younger guests who want their own territory. A second arcade console in the loft over the stairs gives the kids another gaming option without anyone competing for the same screen.

The Fenced Yard & Outdoor Spaces

The fenced backyard is genuinely rare in the Smoky Mountains cabin market — an enclosed outdoor space where kids can roam freely and the group can spread out without the whole setup being on a steep hillside. A horseshoe pit and cornhole give the yard its own activity, and a charcoal grill with a picnic table handles outdoor meals when the weather cooperates. The screened porch keeps everyone outside in any season without the bugs, and the open deck has the hot tub for evenings that call for it.

Location

Maple Top sits near The Island and The Ripken Experience in Pigeon Forge, with Dollywood a short drive away. Three parking spaces with a flat, paved driveway, keyless 24-hour check-in, WiFi, and a washer and dryer included.

Flat driveway, fenced yard, three king beds, two arcade consoles, a screened porch, and a hot tub — Maple Top is the family cabin that thinks of everything.
