Once Upon a Time

Once Upon a Time is a one-bedroom Gatlinburg cabin that earns its name — tucked into the forest above the valley, with Mt. LeConte views from the loft king suite and a bedside jetted tub to end every evening with. A stacked stone fireplace in the living room, a pool table, a hot tub on the covered deck with rocking chairs and patio seating, and the Gatlinburg Arts & Crafts Community just down the road. For a couple or small group of four who want a romantic, private Gatlinburg base with real character, this is the cabin.

The Living Area & Kitchen

Warm wood planking wraps the main living area, where a stacked stone fireplace runs from October through February and plenty of natural light fills the space through the surrounding windows. Lodge-inspired furnishings, a flat-screen TV, and a pool table give the room a character that stays comfortable across a full week. The kitchen is fully equipped with a coffee maker and everything needed for cooking in, and the wooden dining table seats four in a central spot that works equally well for meals, card games, and slower morning hours.

The Loft King Suite & Jetted Tub

The king bedroom occupies the loft, with Mt. LeConte visible through the windows and a jetted tub positioned right at the bedside — the kind of combination that makes returning to the cabin after a day in the park or in Gatlinburg feel like the best part of the trip. A sleeper sofa on the main level handles additional guests for the full group of four.

The Deck & Hot Tub

The covered deck has rocking chairs, patio seating, and a hot tub looking out into the surrounding Gatlinburg forest — a genuinely private outdoor space that earns its use at every hour. A charcoal grill handles outdoor cooking for anyone who wants dinner outside with the trees closing in. The forested setting gives the cabin a seclusion that its location near Gatlinburg wouldn't predict.

Location

Once Upon a Time sits in Gatlinburg near Rocky Top Sports World, the Gatlinburg Convention Center, and the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park — and just minutes from the Gatlinburg Arts & Crafts Community for those who want to explore beyond the strip. Two parking spaces and keyless 24-hour check-in, with WiFi and a washer and dryer included.

Mt. LeConte views from the loft, a jetted tub at the bedside, a fireplace below, and a hot tub in the forest — Once Upon a Time is exactly the Gatlinburg cabin it sounds like.
