Private and Secluded Pet friendly cabin in the Smokies! 2bed/2bath

The cabin was secluded, clean, and felt like a home away from home. We would definitely book here again.

The property is gorgeous as is the surrounding area! The house is a fabulous retreat from the hectic routine of life. The house is well stocked with all the basics needed when traveling. In addition, the host was able to help us when we couldn’t access information. In addition, the cabin is not located far from the attractions we wanted to visit but was peaceful and away from the crowds.

We really enjoyed our stay! We love the fact that we had such privacy, from where the cabin sit you’re unable to see any other homes. It’s very clean, very well equipped, it really just a beautiful home inside and out! I highly recommend this cabin! Close proximity to the Smokies, but far enough away from pigeon Forge to be away from the hustle and bustle of the area, but close enough to get to restaurants and grocery store! Really can’t wait to come back! Tara was very responsive and answered all questions promptly. Really do appreciate it!

We couldn’t have loved this house more! It’s beautiful and they’ve thought of every detail to make it a smooth stay! I’m very pick about where I stay but this place was truly over the top. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful mountain property! The home was clean, well maintained, and truly pet-friendly, which we really appreciated. The mountain setting was stunning and made for a relaxing stay. We would absolutely stay here again!

It looked and functioned as advertised. Great secluded spot with good views. Great for privacy and quiet times. Close enough to attractions to enjoy them but we chose it for the privacy and game room to keep kids entertained without having to go out too often. Clean and stocked with what we needed. Hot tub worked well. New Blackstone Grill worked well.

The cabin was inviting, warm, and cozy… which was exactly what we wanted for the Christmas holiday. We enjoyed the peace and tranquility The Walden offered during this time of year. We are looking forward to more vacations in this area!

Tara is a true gem. The cabin is absolutely gorgeous, peaceful, and has all the amenities. The gated community is such a plus. We felt safe and secure our entire trip. Roads are very curvy and steep as you reach the cabin, so we were thankful for beautiful weather. The cleaning service is top notch. This is by far the cleanest VRBO residence we’ve stayed in. If you want a beautiful stay, great host, and fun for all ages, pick the Walden’s cabin getaway.

They are very responsive, very happy with our stay.

This house was a perfect getaway for our 3 kids & 3 dogs too! Super relaxing and quiet cabin that is about mid mountain. This cabin has everything from beautiful views off the deck where you can have a cup of hot cocoa or coffee and listen to the birds, to enjoying a family game of pool on the mid size table, to relaxing in the hot tub just off the MBR so it’s even enjoyable in the cold. Yes, this is in the mountains so the drive into the community has a decently sloped road and the driveway is steep to get up to the spectacular view, but we managed in the minivan. The driveway has a nice flat area up by the fire pit which makes it a lot easier on parking for the non 4x4’s. Dogs! This was great because we could bring all 3 and there was plenty of room even for all their beds. The MBR had a big closet/laundry area that gives you some extra space if you need it. There is a dog park that’s about 0.8 miles and a quick drive away. The cabin is also stocked nicely with all the essentials from cooking, to grilling, towels/ toiletries, & even towels for the hot tub!One of the best memories was for the first three days the boys played pool non stop, not even touching either of the two arcade games.Cell reception is spotty in the mountains but the cabin has great WiFi and is also set up so you can stream any subscriptions you have too. The cabin is also only about 20 min from Pigeon Forge. Overall really great getaway that was really relaxing. We hope to go back soon!

The host was very welcoming. Would rent again. Could use brighter lighting in bathroom and the grill should be replaced

The cabin was a dream. If you're looking for a comfortable and secluded space, this is for you. In the rain, this cabin is an absolute charm.

This cabin was so cute & cozy! The beds were amazing to sleep on, the hot tub was clean, and the vibe was immaculate! My son (7) claimed the loft bedroom with all the games! We enjoyed playing pool in the evenings before getting in the hot tub after spending the day out & about! Perfect little tucked away cabin in a secure location, just far enough away to be secluded & close enough to get to everything!

This is a beautiful home, so secluded and right in the beautiful trees. We loved the peacefulness. Tara was very responsive to any questions we had. The driveway is steep but it was a fun adventure to get to the house. The fall foliage was spectacular. A bear tried to get in our car one night.(left a paw print) Thankfully we had been told to keep the doors locked and no food in the car. We loved being right in nature with the bears. We never saw a bear in shagbark (community were cabin is located), but we did see one on the roadside on way to Gatlinberg. We have ATT and we were thankful that the house had great Wifi because our phone did not get service anywhere in the SMNP, we did get a little service in pigeon forge. I would recommend downloading an offline map before you enter the area. (Depending on your cell provider) We did Smokey mountains ziplining and it was a blast.

Property was well maintained and family, pet friendly if this is what you are looking for. Grill needed some attention, location was less scenic than we had hoped and the fire pit was further away from a usable space in our opinion. Overall a nice, comfortable stay.

The cabin was in a great location, away from town, so nice & quiet. It was super close to everything though. We loved the drive to town & back. We used the hot tub every day, really enjoyed it!We saw a mama bear and 2 cubs one evening, near the outdoor fireplace! That was really cool! We made a great choice, picking this cabin!

Very comfortable and fun place to stay. Will look to stay here again.

The Walden was an amazing place to unplug and get away from daily life. Very secluded and cozy. A “tree top” getaway! Our host was very responsive to any questions we had and accommodated our pets as well. We arrived to the cabin with 2 watering bowls provided for our pups. Even though the dog park was at the bottom of the mountain and a little further from the cabin than expected, it was still very well kept and the pups loved it! Overall a great place and we enjoyed our little family vacation!

Beautiful cabin in the woods!

We enjoyed our week stay. This was our first time visiting the Smoky Mountains and the cabin was in a perfect location for visiting both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The setting was so quiet and peaceful and we even got to see a bear walking down the road while sitting on the deck drinking coffee. The cabin was very clean, especially for being pet friendly. There was no pet smell or damage. Highly recommend.

Overall we had a great time. The scenery was beautiful, and we saw lots of bears. The kids loved the pool table and arcade games. My only gripe was that the cleaning appeared to be quickly done, could definitely use a good deep cleaning.

Everything was wonderful!

Beautiful surroundings cozy well equipped home for a great stay. Situated close to all the attractions but far enough away to enjoy the beautiful views.

This is the perfect place! There is something for everyone! It is beautiful and peaceful. I would definitely stay again.

We loved the seclusion of this place!

Place was great. Perfect for the 4 of us. Loved the quiet and ability to get to things to do within 25 minutes. Cabin had everything we needed.

hosts were great, property was very secluded. would stay again

We absolutely loved our stay at the Walden. We found it cozy and comfortable. The Christmas decorations really made it feel like home. I wasn't super crazy about the steep driveway and drive up but hey it's the mountains. After a few trips I became a pro. and

Easy check in, beautiful cabin. It was a perfect stay for our weekend trip to the mountains :)

This place was amazing! The house was perfect, exactly as described. Great location, and feels very secluded while not being too far from Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The hosts were lightning fast to communicate and answer any questions we had. I would definitely book this place again.

It is secluded with a beautiful view just like you want in a Smoky Mountain vacation. The hosts are fantastic with communication. However, I think the owners of the cabin need to find a different cleaning/maintenance company for their cabin. My mom and I picked up over 30 screws, nails, and staples from the driveway where they had had work done to the cabin prior to our arrival. This may not seem like a very big deal, but it is a very secluded cabin with a steep driveway. A flat tire would have been a nightmare. The bleach floater in the hot tub was empty, and had orangeish brown gunk in it. There was trash left on the deck. We pitched the dirty sock in the downstairs bedroom that was left by the previous guests. The extra towels in the bathroom were kept in the bathroom sink cabinet and were literally touching and laid next to the toilet bowl plunger. Gross. Obviously, we re-washed and used the same towels while we were there. Beautiful cabin. Wonderful hosts who’ve just made the wrong choice with their maintenance and cleaning company in my opinion.

My husband and I (and our two Labradors) loved our stay at the Walden. The cabin is in a great/secluded location. Nice open concept with comfortable amenities. Internet was very good (should anyone need to stay connected). Great community with the owners. You can tell they take a lot of pride in their cabin! Can’t wait to stay again.
