Pigeon River Hideaway – Riverfront Chalet in the Smoky Mountains

Escape to Pigeon River Hideaway, a rustic, three-level mountain chalet nestled directly along the beautiful Little Pigeon River between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Enjoy gorgeous river views from the deck, screened-in porch, and both upstairs bedrooms. The sound of rushing water and the spectacular rapids directly in front of the cabin create a peaceful setting that is increasingly difficult to find in the busy Smoky Mountain vacation areas.

Our cabin offers a unique combination of privacy, natural beauty, and convenient access to all the attractions, restaurants, shopping, and outdoor activities that Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and the Great Smoky Mountains have to offer.

Separate shower.

The cabin is surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature. Relax on the deck, enjoy your morning coffee on the porch swing, read a book while listening to the rapids, or simply watch the river flow by.

Lynn's cottage is even more beautiful than we were expecting! I'd especially recommend if you want to escape the mayhem of Pigeon Forge and downtown Gatlinburg in the evenings. The house is full of large windows overlooking the river, including in bedrooms upstairs, which we found astounding. There is plenty of space to spread out, and the walk down to the river, from the lower deck, took us less than 30 seconds (it can be a little hard to tell the exact distance from the pictures). The house hasn't been updated with cheap, uniform rental style. It's cozy and extremely peaceful. The furniture is real, comfortable furniture, not particle board trash. I can't recommend this house enough. Plus, the hosts were thoughtful and communicative!

The house itself was great, the location was beautiful, the hosts were very communicative, and we loved our stay. The only reason I'm minusing a start is that the beds were a little small and old and weren't the most comfortable to sleep on.

Although comparing short-term rental properties is rarely apples to apples, I’m going to ignore that logic and say Pigeon River Hideaway is easily in my Top 3 — quite possibly #1 when factoring in the host experience. Lynn went above and beyond to make my stay perfect! From working directly with VRBO to help resolve a reservation issue I had (Lynn even called me personally to talk through it), to providing detailed driving directions for the easiest route and promptly answering questions during my stay, he contributed greatly to this glowing review.Of course, the property itself was absolutely amazing. I don’t need to repeat all the details already mentioned in so many other reviews, but the fact that I’m a hiker who usually wants to log as many trail miles as possible — yet chose to spend 2 of my 5 hiking days simply relaxing at the cabin — says a lot.TLDR: Stop reading reviews and just book it Thanks so much for an amazing experience, Lynn!

So many amazing aspects of this property! First thing - IT IS BETTER THAN PICS!!!! Then…- rushing water close to screen porch which has a comfy swing and 4 chair dining table! It is a truly wonderful view of the river! - easy to get to and parking is a breeze. - secluded but not isolated. Beautiful trees on both sides. - very clean - comfy mattress and pillows. - perfect size kitchen set up with everything you need. - TAP WATER TASTES GREAT! I would love to stay here a month or more! - owner was available and attentive. Can’t say enough about this property!

Loved the cozy feel of this cabin! The sound of the river flowing was relaxing while setting on the back porch or screened in porch! Arrived the day of Christmas and it was still decorated for Christmas so our family was able to still open gifts around the tree! Location was good! Our overall experience was exceptional!

Very comfortable home. We had a great stay! Driveway kind of surprised us on first arrival, but we got used to it quickly. Fished the river mist days and did catch, but water is a bit too warm during our stay for trout. Wouls definitely stay again.

Tremendous property to enjoy The Smokies.

We enjoyed our stay here. Everything was as advertised, clean and the owner was responsive. The river in the fall setting was a highlight of the stay and we will definitely be back.
