Description Description

Welcome to Once Upon a Time, the perfect romantic cabin in Gatlinburg for your Smoky Mountain love story. This stunning one-bedroom, 1.5-bath retreat offers amazing mountain views and tranquil solitude while still providing space for up to five guests, making it ideal for couples or a small family getaway. The open floor plan seamlessly connects the living room, kitchen, and dining area for quality time together, while the cozy bedroom creates a romantic haven of its own. Enjoy evenings by the living room fireplace, challenge each other to a game of pool, relax in the bedside jetted tub, or soak in the hot tub as you take in the mountain views. It’s a getaway worthy of a fairytale ending.

Living Room

After you drive past a crystal-clear lake (which is within strolling distance for later!), you’ll come to this spectacular cabin that will make you feel like you’re living in an enchanted forest!

This living room is wrapped in warm wood-planking and has plenty of natural light and views. You’ll enjoy a stacked-stone fireplace, lodge-inspired furnishings and decor, and nearby access to the kitchen and dining spaces. There is also a fun pool table! Rack ‘em up and play a few rounds with the mountains appearing in the distance through the windows. This is the life!

Kitchen

This tucked-away fully-stocked kitchen is able to meet any challenge! Cook up breakfast to serve in bed...make chocolate-covered strawberries...pop open champagne! Your wish is its command! All cookery, flatware, and dishes are included for your convenience.

Dining Space

The charming wooden table can seat up to four and is centrally located. Lay out a romantic table and have a candlelit meal! Flickering candles + cabin ambiance= ROMANCE!

Bedrooms

At the end of a long day of sightseeing or hiking, come back to this plush king-size bed in the loft suite. To soothe your aching muscles, soak in the jetted-tub, daydreaming as you enjoy the panoramic views of Mt. LeConte.

For additional sleeping space, there is a pullout and a futon in the cabin.

Outdoor Spaces

Once Upon a Time is surrounded by lush foliage and offers plenty of outdoor spots to enjoy, including a hot tub!

There is a BBQ, so make sure you cook up a steak or two—live up the vacation life! Rocking chairs, patio seating...this is an immersive experience in nature! You’ll feel like you live in the trees. Listen to the birds, gaze at the view. Your soul will be soothed by the solitude here.

Other Amenities

With all the luxury that Once Upon a Time has to offer, you might not ever want to leave the cottage. But if you do, you are within minutes of any convenience that Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg has to offer, from charming local eateries to grocery shopping, to entertainment.

All linens are provided, and there is a washer/dryer for your convenience.

Once Upon a Time offers complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi access so you can browse your entertainment options, or check your email.

Very nice cabin! Homely feel. Watched 2 black bears in wooded area off deck while also enjoying the mountain views. My only complaint would be a few of the tree tops need to be trimmed in order to see the mountains better but other than that everything was great.

Thank you for your kind review! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the cabin's homely feel and had the chance to watch the black bears and mountain views. We appreciate your feedback regarding the tree tops and will look into it. We hope to see you again for another great stay!

The cabin was fantastic just like last time! We even had a visit from a bear in the top of a tree about 20 ft from the deck! The hot tub was soooo relaxing after a long day!!! Will definitely use Colonial Properties again!!!

Perfect Honeymoon Location! We chose Once Upon a Time for our Honeymoon and it did not disappoint! We drove 17 hours from North East Texas and it was worth the drive. The cabin was very clean, especially the bathrooms and shower, and the view was beautiful. The location of the cabin was great not only in the way that it was tucked away in the woods, but in relation to other things such as stores, downtown Gatlinburg, etc. Their i️s also a super cute little art village with tons of little shops just 5 minutes away which was super fun to explore! The staff had great communication and were super kind, the checkout process was easy, and all i️n all me and my husband agreed this was one of the best vacations we’ve ever been on. We really hope to return sometime in the future and 100% recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a relaxing time in Tennessee!

Beautiful cabin and exceptional service
This cabin is an absolutely gorgeous property! After walking in, I was completely floored by how gorgeous the entire cabin was and by the breathtaking view. This cabin did not disappoint. I had to contact management twice, once because I did not know how to work the fireplace and a second time due to power outage (in the area, not just this cabin). Both times, they were kind, responsive and quick to provide assistance. The hot tub is perfectly positioned toward the amazing view and the fireplace kept me warm and cozy throughout the chilly stay. I would absolutely recommend this place to a couple, someone staying solo or maybe a small group of 2-3.

Thank you for acknowledging how beautiful this cabin is and how it sets an ideal atmosphere for a couple or small group. We aim to provide a pleasant and comfortable experience in every way possible, making sure each guest feels right at home during their stay. It's wonderful to hear that we succeeded in doing just that during your visit. We hope to see you again soon!

Beautiful little cabin! Gorgeous little cabin! Closer to the other cabins than I would like, but once inside it feels so private! The view of the porch is gorgeous and the hot tub is divine! The cabin is close enough for easy access to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, but far enough out to feel like you aren’t in the city. Very pleasant stay for our honeymoon - we LOVED the pool table!

Quiet time
Very quiet area. Loved the open concept. Very cute. Enough room for my boyfriend and I. Even could have had more people with us and have enough room. Loved the porch and view. Could have a few of the limbs trimmed to see more of the mountains but overall good stay.

Once Upon a Time We really enjoyed our stay at Once Upon a Time in Gatlinburg. The rental process, communication and checking in and out was so easy. I was never guessing about anything. The house was just as it was described and the view out the back was better than I imagined. The bed was super comfy. We hiked in Smoky Mountain National Park each day of our stay and the hot tub was a godsend! The location of the cabin was perfect to go to the Arts and Crafts shops, downtown Gatlinburg and the park. We will definitely be back. Thank you very much❤️
