An Escape to the
Forest

A tiny black-roofed A-frame in the Sevierville woods, built for two: knotty timber walls, a bedroom whose glass doors open straight onto a string-lit deck, a private hot tub and a hammock under the trees.

Our verdict

Right for you if

You're a couple who wants a design-led A-frame in the trees, a private soak steps from the bed, and quiet evenings on a string-lit deck between days of hiking.

Not for you if

You're bringing kids or friends, want a mountain panorama, or need space to spread out. It's one small room-and-a-half for two, facing woods rather than ridgelines.

A true A-frame in the Sevierville woods

This one earns its label honestly: a steep black metal roof running almost to the ground, a glazed gable end, and a small flat-roofed wing on the side holding the entrance. It stands alone on a cleared lot off a gravel road, on the quieter eastern side of Sevierville, with hardwood forest pressing in on all sides.

That setting is the point. You won’t look out over layered ridgelines here — the view is trees, near and tall, lit up in autumn and softened at dusk by the string lights along the deck rail. Restaurants sit a short drive away and Pigeon Forge’s strip further still, far enough to keep evenings quiet.

Timber walls, glass doors, one private tub

The bedroom lives inside the triangle itself, with knotty timber planking climbing the slope of the roof and a pair of glass French doors opening straight onto the deck. Out there you’ll find the private hot tub, a hammock, outdoor chairs and those string lights — the whole evening routine laid out a few steps from the bed.

The living room, through a doorway, feels different again: white walls, a timber-lined ceiling, a low sofa and a compact kitchen run with a stovetop, oven, refrigerator and coffee maker, enough for breakfasts and simple dinners. The bathroom continues the design thread with a glass-screened shower and a rust-red basin under a window full of leaves. Air conditioning, heating, WiFi and a flat-screen TV cover the practical side.

Small by design, with real trade-offs

This is a cabin for two adults, full stop. There’s one bedroom, one bathroom and not much floor space beyond them; a couple will find it cozy, anyone else will find it cramped. Arriving means climbing wooden stairs from the parking pad up to the entrance deck, which matters if you’re hauling heavy luggage.

Don’t book it for a view, either — what you see from the deck is forest, not a mountain panorama. And like most properties on this side of the county, everything from groceries to trailheads means getting back in the car. For a quiet, well-designed retreat where the hot tub is the evening’s entertainment, those limits are easy to live with; for anything bigger or busier, look elsewhere.

What we love

1

Bed to hot tub in a few steps

The bedroom sits under the peak of the A, and its glass French doors open directly onto the deck where the private tub waits. Few cabins make the evening soak this effortless — or this private.

2

Design that doesn't feel like a rental

Knotty timber planking, a white-walled living room under a timber-lined ceiling, a glass-screened shower and a rust-red basin: the interior looks considered rather than furnished from a catalogue.

Before you book

Tell the property your expected arrival time in advance; a photo ID and credit card are required at check-in, and a rental agreement must be signed and returned before you arrive. A cash damage deposit is collected on arrival and returned after inspection.

Guests under eighteen must be with a parent or guardian. The cabin is non-smoking, and bachelor or bachelorette parties aren't permitted.

Setting

A standalone A-frame on a cleared, wooded lot off a gravel road on the eastern side of Sevierville, with hardwood forest on every side.

Layout

One bedroom under the peak of the A-frame, a separate living room with a kitchenette through a doorway, and a single bathroom — set up for two adults.

The deck

A large deck with a private hot tub, a hammock, outdoor seating and string lights, reached through French doors from the bedroom.

Getting around

Restaurants are a short drive away and Pigeon Forge a longer one; there's no public transport, so plan on driving for everything.
