WHY CHOOSE OUR CABIN- LET US COUNT THE WAYS...

LET"S START WITH REST and RELAXATION AMIDST BREATHTAKING MOUNTAIN VIEWS...

The serene setting- away from it all and nestled among the trees with the mountains as your backdrop. Two separate decks of outdoor space allow plenty of spaces to soak in the vistas with comfortable rockers, swings, hot tub, picnic table, Hammock Chair- everything you need for full outdoor relaxation!

In creating this genuine mountain experience, we have kept your comfort in mind- cozy throws to curl up, plush beds, comfortable recliners and all the small but thoughtful details such as full length mirrors, one-touch remotes, accent lighting and more!

For the most CONVENIENT LOCATION…
Away from it all and yet within minutes to dining, shopping, entertainment, the Park, and food supplies. A privileged location!
How close you may ask- well, we are located minutes away from the popular Arts and Crafts Community, 11 miles to Dollywood, 5 minutes to downtown Gatlinburg activities, and 10 minutes to the main National Park entrance. And here is another secret- we are a hop, skip and a jump from another lesser known park area- Greenbiar. We will be happy to tell you all about these trails!

FOR EASY ACCESS and LEVEL PARKING…

Paved roads lead to our cabin and level parking create a worry-free arrival- a rare find in this mountain terrain.

FOR THE COMFORTABLE ACCOMMODATIONS FOR EIGHT…

Our 2 Bedroom, 2 Bath 1800 sq. ft. spacious Log Cabin offers two separate and distinct floors of living, sleeping and entertainment space.

FOR UNFORGETTABLE FAMILY MEMORIES…

Family times can be shared with a late-night movie in the SEPARATE HOME THEATER BONUS ROOM with State of the Art Electronics. Enjoy the 65" PLASMA HDTV with SURROUND SOUND, BLUE RAY DVD and comfortable seating for the ultimate, HOME THEATER EXPERIENCE. Our smart TV's provide cable channels along with streaming of all your favorite APPS. Let the sports fans enjoy the game downstairs while the kids are entertained with their favorite shows on the 50” HDTV in the living room upstairs.
And for the little ones- numerous options will keep them entertained for hours- their own rocking horse and rocking chair, wall bead maze, games, puzzles, books, Bear Blackboard, and their very own coloring corner, with one of a kind Black Bear table and chair.

FOR ROMANCE…

For that romantic honeymoon, anniversary, or simply a couple’s getaway, look no further, romance is always in the air at High Expectations. We have provided all the essentials, privacy all around, a cozy fireplace, and a hot tub conveniently located two steps from the Master Suite. Add serene mountain vistas, moonlit evenings and starry skies – the perfect recipe for wonderful memories in the making!

For the FAMILY CHEF…

A FULLY equipped upscale kitchen of custom cabinets, granite and stainless appliances provides a beautiful backdrop for preparing light snacks to gourmet meals. But it is the small essential tools that make meal preparation a breeze: blender, crock pot, mixers, serving dishes, garlic press, brand name knives, wine openers to ice scream scoops!
And if the outdoors is calling you, step into the grilling nook- an inviting landscaped stone patio with B.B.Q. GRILL and enjoy your meal on the lovely picnic table with spectacular views of the Smoky Mountains!

Heavenly Smoky Getaway

We LOVED staying here at “High Expectations” for our fill of the Smokies. The view is ethereal, the cabin had everything you could possibly need or want. The amenities were top notch and just as depicted in the photos. This home is quite well made, showers work great, and the towels are better than a hotel’s IMO. A/C was responsive and consistent, perfect for summertime. Our stay during the Summer did come with stormy weather along with a brief power outage overnight. We probably wouldn’t have know except for the Google assistant running through its start-up - we addressed this by reducing the sound on the device to a very low level. Other than this we couldn’t fault our time there. There’s beautiful artwork on the walls by the property owner, and they’ve taken time to decorate thoughtfully with pieces from local artisans. All in all, I think we found our new “place in the Smokies”! Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us!

Idyllic Smoky Mountain Getaway!

Our stay at “High Expectations” could not have been more wonderful! The cabin, itself, is a work of art—gorgeous construction, decorated with local high-quality crafts (pottery, metalwork, paintings, and more!) We felt like we were staying in a local museum! The deck views were amazing, with the chairs, porch swings, and hot tub overlooking the misty mountain scenery. We were able to enjoy these same views from indoors (the dining room table upstairs and the master bedroom downstairs). We had a few rainy evenings so it was fun to hunker down with the pool table, PAC-Man game, dart board, and board games. There is also a home theater, which we didn’t get around to using. The beds are super-comfortable and the showers, kitchen, and 2 fireplaces were so nice! Communication with our host was outstanding. This home was the perfect spot to enjoy. We felt like we were in paradise, and yet local attractions & conveniences were hardly any distance away.—the best of all worlds! We hope to return with more of our family! THANK YOU!

This cabin was everything and more! I am very particular about cleanliness. This cabin was the cleanest we stayed in on our trip. As for views…you won’t find better views. We enjoyed the game room and hot tub and mostly just was in awe of the view. This is the first rental that I actually felt like home in. I urge anyone coming to this area to check out High Expectations. You won’t be disappointed.

High Expectations - Loved It!!

We recently stayed at High Expectations and this house fulfilled its name! Everything at this house was comfortable, beautiful, and perfect for our group of two couples. This was our first time to the Gatlinburg area and the autumn leaves were beautiful. The home itself is nestled in a mountainside. It has two master suites on each floor which was perfect. We had a wonderful time looking at the views from the wonderful porches, our husbands had a great time playing pool, and it was a perfect house for relaxing and spending time together with our friends. Our host Jeanette contacted us to make sure that everything was going well. We loved the seclusion of the cabin, but it was still close enough for us to go out to eat meals and to enjoy the nearby towns of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We even saw a bear going down the mountain on two of the days that we were there! All in all, it was an amazing trip at an amazing house. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you, Jeanette for sharing your wonderful home!😊
