You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

1/2 mile to downtown Gatlinburg & the Great Smoky Mountains National Park!

THE PERFECT GETAWAY - our cabin is nestled between downtown Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We are in a small development called Eagle Cove, and we're just a 10 minute walk or 2 minute drive to downtown. Unwind by sitting in the swing on the deck and listen to the creek running nearby, or relax in the hot tub.

Happy Little Cabin has it all! A perfect spot for a romantic getaway for two yet spacious enough for a family of four.

-- Our location is unbeatable! We are close to recreation, shopping, dining, and much more! You can walk to downtown, but it is a steep walk back up to the cabin and there is not a sidewalk. However, there isn't much traffic on our road.

Key Cabin Features:
- A full kitchen with blender, electric mixer, one cup coffee brewer as well as a regular coffee pot.
-Flat screen TVs, electric fireplace, patio seating, hot tub and porch swing on deck, indoor jacuzzi tub, excellent cell phone reception, and wireless internet access
- Paved parking at cabin

Bedroom/Bathroom Configuration:
-Master bedroom: King-sized bed with full bath connected

Additional Sleeping:
- A Queen-sized sleeper sofa in living room can accomodate 2 extra guests. There is a 1/2 bathroom nearby off of the gameroom. Sleeper sofa is more suitable for children.

Linens (bath towels, sheets, blankets, pillows) are provided but no daily maid service. If you want a beach type towel for the hot tub, please bring it. Bring your own coffee or K-cup compatible (2 starter cups provided).

We have a "park style" charcoal grill available for use (charcoal not provided).

Due to sometimes inclement weather in the winter, we recommend a front or four wheel drive vehicle or travel insurance.

LOCATION:
We are located right next door to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park with quick access to all of the entertainment, fine eateries, and many other area attractions right at your fingertips.

You will be within walking distance to many activities including the Gatlinburg Tram that takes you on a scenic ride to the top of Ober Gatlinburg. Happy Little Cabin is perfectly nestled at the edge of town so you can also visit the Nantahala Outdoor Center (NOC) or any of the local gift or craft shops close by.

Getting hungry? Happy Little Cabin is located just around the corner from the Park Grill, Calhoun's, Crocketts, and so many other restaurants, which are great for when you have worked up a hearty appetite from all of the day's activities! However, our kitchen is well equipped if you decide to stay in.

It is impossible, however, to guarantee that all appliances, hot tub, fireplaces, etc., will be in working order 100% of the time.

Convenient Location

Super cute cabin in the woods. Easy access to Great Smoky Mountains National Park and tucked in the woods away from the bustle of downtown Gatlinburg. The cabin suited our needs. But if you plan to do any cooking, a heads up the kitchen is small with minimal utensils, supplies, etc.

We had a perfect stay at this property. The location couldn’t have been better—right on the edge of town, making it easy to quickly enter the national park for daily hikes, horseback riding, and even a cycling adventure at Cades Cove on Wednesday.The setting was ideal: quiet, peaceful, and with a beautiful view. At the same time, we were close enough to the city to walk into downtown several times, which was a nice bonus.The home itself was very clean and comfortable. We especially enjoyed relaxing on the deck and in the hot tub during the afternoons.Overall, this property offered the best of both worlds—easy access to nature and the park, while still being close to town. We would definitely stay here again!
