If you are the kind of person who likes more secluded and natural places for vacationing--this is the place to stay if you happen to find yourself in Pigeon Forge. We came down to visit the Titanic Museum with our 12 year old son and had no idea what to expect. I have to admit that Pigeon Forge was way too busy and crowded for us--but as soon as we turned onto the road for Moonshine Cabin we knew we would be just fine. This cabin is perfect. You are on top of the mountain with a spectacular view. You rarely hear or see any signs that there is even anyone else on the mountain, much less a very busy city nearby. You are literally just minutes from town and from hiking paths. The cabin was spotlessly clean when we arrived and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. We loaded up on groceries and had meals at the cabin--so, along with the bypass road to the park trailheads, we were able to avoid spending too much time in town. The deck was incredible--spent a lot of time out there. We had a bear and 3 cubs walk through the side and back yard one afternoon. Furnishings are very nice and the price is excellent for what you are getting. We would recommend this place 100% to anyone looking for a more non-touristy experience in the area. The driveway is very steep and kind of hard to see the turn at first. We had a jeep--not sure how well other vehicles make it up.

Went with my wife and another couple in early September and loved it. Great view (what is shown online is the real deal). It was clean, had plenty of amenities (the hot tub was very nice after hiking). It was a quick drive to the National Park, Gatlinburg and Pidgeon Forge. No complaints at all. very relaxing. The first ride up the driveway is worth the stay. Ken responded promptly to all questions. We plan on staying again next year
