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.

We take pride in maintaining our cabin & perform regular maintenance to keep everything in good working order. It is impossible, however, to guarantee that all appliances, hot tub, fireplaces, etc., will be in working order 100% of the time.

Needed Weekend Getaway
We had such a great time. The cabin was absolutely perfect. I communicated with the host a few times and felt as if it was someone I'd known for years. They were so hospitable and made sure we had everything we needed. I would head back this next weekend and choose the same place if I could. Loved that we were a few hundred yards from the strip in GBurg. I would highly recommend this property and host!!!

Cabin in the woods
This home is extremely beautiful. Pictures do not show the true beauty your eyes will see upon arrival. The detailed information about food and nearby attractions are very helpful. My wife and I have already decided to plan another trip in a few months. Looking forward to visit again. Our host had great communication when we had questions. All and all this is a great place to stay.

Comfy in the Cabin
We enjoyed our stay at the Simply Southern cabin. The location is perfectly close to the strip while remaining secluded and quiet. We saw a ton of wildlife activity including birds, chipmunks and of course the bears. The cabin was well equipped and the pool table and hot tub made our stay fun. We'll make sure to stop by this hidden gem again.

My husband and I stayed for two nights along with our pup! We loved the cabin, was perfect for us, very comfortable! We loved the location too and the construction mentioned in past reviews has apparently been completed so no issues there! The Host was perfect….communication was great, checkin and out were effortless. Definitely recommend!

Great stay
Nice cabin up the hill from the Gatlinburg strip. Place was great size for one couple. Me and my girlfriend liked how close we were to everything Gatlinburg has to offer. We were hoping to just walk to the strip but the cabin is up a very steep hill so we just drove and parked at the bottom at Cherokee grill parking lot. We enjoyed the hot tub after a long hike and enjoyed the gameroom area. The host responds very quickly and was extremely nice/helpful. They even setup Christmas decorations which was a nice touch. Only thing I would say negative about the cabin was that the pictures showed a nice view of the trees and the hill, so we expected a somewhat peaceful stay close to the strip, but now there’s a hotel being built right behind the cabin. The pictures of the deck and jacuzzi tub view need updated. The noise didn’t bother us too much tho because we spent most of our time out and about but it’s something to maybe watch out for. Overall great stay

Best Accommodations - close to town
Too many good things to say about Southern Livin Cabin. Two of us for our first 7 day trip in a very long time. The size was perfect for us and the pool table and family room next to kitchen was fantastic. Cabin is walking distance to town but road is pretty dark at night so have to be adventurous to treck out; however there is parking we found at end of the street for free. Right next to entrance of the park was great especially to take the bypass to Pigeon Forge. We can’t wait to head back. Owners were extremely responsive to questions.

Awesome stay!!
Perfect distance to the main strip, but also the wooded experience of Gatlinburg. They are building a hotel in-front of the house, but the property manager let us know beforehand with the option to cancel. It wasn’t too loud and didn’t bother us. There was some confusion about broken window latches when we left (we went in February so we didn’t touch the windows), but the property manager was easy to talk to. Enjoyed the pool table & pac man machine. Overall woild stay again!

Inside was clean and had all you need. Location was key. The noise from construction next door at new hotel was a distraction but tolerable. These cabins in this area need a little tender loving care on the outside. Overall it was a good time. Thanks

This cabin very nice, clean & organized. No issues at all. First time to rent a cabin like this and to visit Gatlinburg. Very close to everything & convenient. We would definitely recommend for a couple or small family. PAC MAN video game was a plus! Relived my younger days! Thanks, Alyssa!
