We chose this cabin for what you see from it.
The view isn't a bonus feature here. It's the whole point. Smoky Mountain ridges from the decks and the upstairs bedrooms, mist rolling through in the morning, and a golden hour that makes you want to stay one more night.
Above It All is a two-level log cabin. Two bedrooms, a bunk room and a bath are upstairs. The living room, kitchen, second bath and decks are on the main level.

“Amazing place to stay in the smokies. Proper authentic Tennessee mountain home with the most beautiful views. Hot tub was amazing and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Our highlight of the trip so far was sitting on the balcony on the rocking chairs overlooking the smokies every morning and evening. Also very close to Dollywood and all the restaurants in pigeon forge but far enough away (10 min drive) to be out of the busyness and into tranquility. Christi was a great and attentive host who made check in easy and sweetly left some snacks.”Read the full review

“The porch was a fantastic asset! We loved to sit out there and talk or just relax. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked. I am not sure I’ve ever found a more prepared kitchen in an Airbnb. There is a crockpot so you can prep your meals and they can cook while you’re out and about to be ready to eat when you get back. We really appreciated the well stocked kitchen! All the appliances we used worked and we’re easy to use. The beds were extremely comfortable and clean. We were relieved to come back each evening and sleep well and soundly. The washer and dryer were helpful as well. In addition to some light snacks, Christi provided some detergent which was useful. There is an Xbox with some teen+ games and you won’t be bored with the litany of board games the home is stocked with. We also appreciated that this house is at the end of the drive. There was very little if any traffic up there and it was very private. Thank you for a great stay, Christi!”Read the full review

“We love the Tennessee mountains, we visit often, we found this cabin to be the most relaxing of our stays so far. It's a good location, just so peaceful. The view from the bedrooms, and second story deck is beautiful. We were there less than an hour and seen two bears, and another one the next afternoon, walked right through the drive way. The hosts attention to detail, and excellent communication is top notch, and unmatched! We appreciate your thoughtfulness so much, it really helped make our stay so nice! Thank you again, "Ohio" Taylor Family”Read the full review

“Great place to stay. Christi was quick to respond. And they had a mama bear and her 4 cubs visit the morning we left! Awesome watching them hang out and nap in a big tree in the front yard!”Read the full review

“We had a wonderful stay. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean. We enjoyed sitting out on the upper and lower deck. We did see a bear in the front yard one morning, so make sure to keep doors locked. The location was perfect for us with only a 10 min drive into Pigeon Forge. We stayed for a full week with 4 adults and 2 children and there was plenty of room for us!”Read the full review
★★★★★
“We had a beautiful stay with incredible views right from the property. Great location that’s perfectly positioned between peaceful mountain scenery and easy access to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge attractions. It made the ideal home base for exploring Great Smoky Mountains National Park — the Grotto Falls hike was a family favorite. Clean, comfortable, and highly recommended!”Read the full review

Can we cook Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner at the cabin?

It's paved, and any car handles it in fair weather. Plan your first arrival for daylight if you can.
Is the road safe in snow or ice? Do I need 4WD?
The road up is paved, steep and winding. In snow or ice we recommend a 4WD or AWD vehicle. If you can, plan your first arrival for daylight.
