We always try and stay in a cabin when in the area and this was our favorite one so far! In my opinion, it is underpriced as it offers so much and is a beautiful cabin. We loved it and the extra touches with the golf and pool table were great. Brilliant stay and recommend to anyone looking to book a stay. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your property!

Staying at Simple Pleasures was an absolute treat! Great place to unplug, unwind, and enjoy the stunning views. The cabin was exactly as described, and very comfortable and homey. We appreciated the amenities and private feel of the cabin. We certainly plan to return. The hosts were very helpful in providing information before check-in and responsive when we texted them with a question during our stay.

Tom and Allison‘s cabin was so peaceful and beautiful! We love waking up every morning to the views of the mountains and spending the evenings on the porch and in the hot tub. We had such a nice and relaxing time. The cabin was private, easy to find, and a great respite from the city. It was also a short drive to Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and the National Park. I also appreciated how clean the cabin was. We really enjoyed our stay.

This is our third time staying at Simple Pleasures! We love it so much we brought my sister and brother-in-law to experience it as well! The cabin has the most stunning views! It is perfectly described and matches the listing! Tom and Allison are great hosts! Always responsive. They always allow for a flexible check-in as well. The cabin feels very homey and has great amenities. Perfect space for two couples! We love it and hope to be back soon!

This beautiful cabin is exactly what we needed for a long weekend getaway! The hosts were so friendly and responsive. Everything is accurately described, and the views are amazing! The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need. Beds were very comfortable and the entire cabin was extremely clean. You are just far enough away to enjoy the peacefulness of nature, but yet close to restaurants and things to do! I highly recommend this beautiful cabin. We will definitely stay here again!!!

Absolutely loved our stay at this cozy, private cabin! The porch overlooking the mountains was our favorite spot – we even spotted a bear during our visit! The host clearly put a lot of care into the property, and it really shows. Peaceful, well maintained, and the perfect getaway. I would definitely stay again!

Pictures don’t do the listing justice!!! Incredible views and a beautiful location. Only a short drive to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The house has anything you would ever need.

It snowed on our final day here which was nice to see since we are from Louisiana and haven’t seen snow in 10 years. This cabin was a beautiful place to stay and we had so much fun on our trip to Tennessee!

This is our first stay at Simple Pleasures and certainly will not be our last! The cabin exceeded our expectations in many ways. The view is magnificent! Our girls love the Christmas decorations, along with the puzzles and games. We also really appreciate Tom and Allison’s thoughtfulness and making sure the cabin is fully stocked with all the necessary essentials. We did cook a few meals here and were able to do so without any issues. We had a wonderful time. It was truly more than we could’ve ever hoped for we can’t wait to come back.

Our favorite memory from our trip was waking up at 6:30 every morning to watch the sunrise as a family.

Our favorite memories were the beautiful views along our drives, the hot tub, and relaxing after being on a motorcycle all day.

This is the second time we’ve stayed at Simple Pleasures! The first time was in 2021 for Dan’s 30th birthday so it was only fitting for us to stay here for my 30th! We love this cabin. I’ve been here 14 times and Dan nine times and this is both our first time seeing the bear. The view is amazing and the hot tub is very relaxing.

Friends getaway – Our best moments were in the evenings as we wound down from the day, enjoying the view. We used the hot tub, played pool and enjoyed music and good conversations. The views were amazing! The cabin was cozy and clean. We all enjoyed this extended weekend away!

I have stayed in numerous cabins over the years and this one ranks a solid 5/5. It has a great feel and all the extras make it feel like you’re staying at a friend‘s house. Very nice, beautiful home! Great experience! We will be back.

I have stayed at Simple Pleasures several times. It has never disappointed. I was so excited to bring a friend and let her experience the beauty of your cabin. I will definitely be back again. I have stayed in other cabins over the years and this one became my favorite. Thank you for sharing your place!

We were so pleasantly surprised to see the cabin was decorated for Christmas. We loved watching the sunrise from the bedroom upstairs. The cabin is very well stocked and very clean! Thank you for our wonderful weekend and we hope to come back here again.
Dennis and Jayne 12/4/2022
The cabin was decorated for Christmas beautifully and the fireplaces were so nice. We usually pack our trip with going out, but the cabin is so nice, we spent one whole day here. There’s so much to enjoy! They thought of everything to make it comfortable and it was the “Simple Pleasures“ that made our trip great! The prettiest place we’ve stayed in the mountains.
Preston, Kim, Katherine and Amelia 11/23/2022
Thank you again for another year being at “Simple Pleasures“. This has been either seven or eight years that we have been coming to your place. The scenery of the mountains and colorful leaves were beautiful and peaceful. Thanks again for sharing your cabin.
The Whites 11/4/2022
This cabin by far has the best view of any we have ever stayed in! Everything was clean and well stocked. Thank you for giving us this time away and the memories we will take with us.
Warren and Sharon 8/10/2022
Tom and Allison, thank you for the cozy cabin. The bear details truly did it for me. Everywhere I look there are little nuggets. When we had a little issue, Tom got right on the phone. I appreciate that you provided little things to make our stay easier. We truly enjoyed our stay and will return again!
The Meltons 7/15/2022
We really enjoyed the porch swing, Jacuzzi, and the beautiful views, perfect! We will definitely stay here again!
The Williams 6/26/2022
We loved the cabin! So much to do to entertain ourselves here alone. Enjoyed drinking our coffee on the swing in the mornings.
David and Jennifer 6/6/2022
This cabin does not misrepresent the views one bit! They are amazing. If you enjoy sitting on a porch swing looking at mountain views, this cabin is for you! Many decorative touches that we kept discovering throughout our stay. We plan to return.
Angie 8/2/2017
Our family had a wonderful time in this cabin! The cabin has everything you need and isn’t far from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park! The views were awesome. We have two kids who really enjoyed the cabin and the park. We spent every day in the park and hiked with the kids. It was nice to come back to the cabin and enjoy all the amenities and views. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks again!
Alicia 7/23/2017
My wife and I rented Simple Pleasures to have time alone, far away from the city. We loved the cabin! It was relaxing and very private. The drive to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg were quick and easy. We enjoyed the whole experience and would highly recommend Simple Pleasures to family and friends. Thanks for the awesome vacation!
