Christy Perfection! One word to describe this magical cabin, and it is 100% the absolute truth. I was worried when I read reviews about a steep driveway, but that was an exaggeration, we soon found out, because my Nissan Maxima made it in and out without difficulty. The roads are winding and sometimes steep depending on your route, but remember this is Tennessee; not Arizona. The photos are great, but they only give you a snippet of the beauty of this place. The whole package put together is breathtakingly beautiful. The view of Mt. Leconte is by far one of the most beautiful I've ever seen! Imagine laying in your king-sized bed waking up to that beautiful view. I will try to attach a photo from the bedroom. It's one of my favorite parts of this cabin. I have traveled the world, and this view is one that I will willingly repeat. The cabin's ambiance is amazing. From the front porch, the lovely touches that Lise adds and the amazing back yard area, there is no way you could ever find a place more spectacular in this area for this price. I beg you to try 🙂! I've been to this area a few times, and my only regret is I didn't find this place sooner. It is centrally located between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, so you have swift access to both places. Even though it is conviently located between the two cities, you will feel absolutely safe and isolated in absolute peace when you are relaxing at the cabin. The HOTTUB needs a review all on it's own, but AIRBNB only gives me one shot. The hottub is huge and located on the back porch with the full view of Mt. LeConte right before your very eyes. There's no way any photo could ever portray the beauty of it accurately. We spent more time in the hottub than we did anywhere else this entire trip, and we absolutely have zero regrets. Cleanliness! Oh my, so clean is an understatement. As a nurse, I'm a little bit of a stickler for clean spaces. There was not a spot of dirt anywhere in this cabin. This is the 1st AirBNB that I haven't had to clean one thing before enjoying our stay. She doesn't charge a cleaning fee, and there is a list that must be completed before your departure. However, the list is just common courtesy whether a cleaning fee is charged or not. I always do this plus more at every AirBNB even when I've been charged a cleaning fee. Don't believe me, go read my review from Las Vegas. As you will see it was a huge place, and I was commended for how clean it was left. Take advantage of Lise's kindness for allowing you to forego a cleaning fee. She still has the place professionally cleaned and out or her own pocket, so the cleaning list is absolutely nothing to panic about. Lise is an amazing host! She gave us our privacy, but was a text away when we needed information on certain things to do around the area. I never had to text her about anything in regards to the cabin as I've stated it was PERFECT! My husband woke with a headache the morning of our departure, and I let Lise know that we would be a few minutes late for departure. She was absolutely accommodating, and asked me to just text her when we were leaving. I will add this is the 1st time we've ever had to ask for a late departure, but I sure hope that all hosts are as understanding as Lise. In closing, the worst part of our trip was leaving this beautiful place. I cried a little. I wanted to stay here forever in seclusion! We will be back very, very soon to enjoy this magical place. Lise, Thanks so much for everything! Can't wait to come back! Christy and Doug Murry
Jeff's Review Mountain Magic was perfect for our last minute get away. We followed her directions vs the gps and arrived with little traffic. Or check in was simple and we thought the location was outstanding. It’s close enough to the attractions, the park and zero neighborhood traffic (except the wildlife!) The cabin was spotless and we had a few special touches that were totally unexpected and so thoughtful of our host. We would recommend this to friends.
Sonee's Review Great getaway cabin. Cabin was very clean and everything was in good condition. Hot tub on back deck has a beautiful view of beautiful mount la conte. The seating on back deck is perfect for drinking your morning coffee getting ready to start your day. Cabin was just a shot drive to all the big attractions that Gatlinburg, Piegan forge, and Sevierville has to offer. Yet far enough away that the noise and city lights were non existent. Would most definitely book this cabin again
Deepti's Review Cabin was very clean and with beautiful views. Lise is a great host and always approachable .I would definitely recommend this cabin and would like to go back again
Joseph's Review Every single amazing thing said about Magic Mountain and Stonecreek are true. The only caveat I'll make is that photos and words cannot do the view from the back deck justice. The cabin was so clean upon arrival that I had to check to see if my family were the first guests of the season. (We weren't, not even close.) I also couldn't believe that there was such a huge backyard area of the property to explore. Lise is an exceptional host. I felt like she really cared if my family and I had a decent time while on her property and in her region. She was also quick to answer any questions we had during our stay (including one's like 'what flower smells so good back here?') and was just great to work with. I wish I was more eloquent, because I feel I could wax poetically about how this cabin captures the essence of the Smokey Mountains', but I am not that guy. I will just restate that if you are looking for an exquisitely clean Cabin near everything in the area, with a once in a lifetime view, and a host who will make your stay feel effortless then Magic Mountain and Stonecreek are the only way to go.
Beverly's Review Great cabin! Our host was very helpful with directions as well as recommendations for restaurants (anything we needed). Far exceeded our expectations!
Brandon's Review We enjoyed our stay - the host had great attention to detail, everything was very clean and the view was beautiful.
Lesa's Review Mountain Magic Cabin-Beautiful Mountain View Overall rating 5 Great host with personal touches such as a bottle of wine and supplies for s'mores waiting for you upon arrival. Amazing view. Cabin super clean and comfortable! Definitely would stay here again!
Arnold's Review Beautiful cabin with an absolutely stunning view of the mountain! "Mountain Magic" certainly lives up to its name! Very clean, cozy and private. The lighting and soft music provided a very welcoming ambiance, not to mention the bubbly champagne and chilled glasses that awaited us! Lise was an excellent host and very responsive to any questions we had. "The Magic" had nice up-to-date flat screen TVs all throughout the cabin, with a huge selection of high quality channels. Nice strong (and fast) WIFI. Nice collection of great movie DVDs. Totally loved the nice grilling area and hot tub. And the master bed provided a very comfortable night's rest!
Jacqueline's Review Was a great place to stay. Very clean and neat. Just a very steep driveway for future references.
Geetha's Review Jun 20 - Jun 25, 2021 Mountain Magic Cabin-Beautiful Mountain View Overall rating 5 Great place and great views of Mt Leconte. Very good host and knowledge of local area attractions.
Brian's Review Great cabin, very clean, private, resulting in an overall great experience. We loved the cabin and would definitely book again.
Autumn's Review Mountain Magic Cabin-Beautiful Mountain View Overall rating Wow! All I can say is that the pictures of this cabin do not do it justice! The entire cabin inside and out is absolutely beautiful! Extremely clean, and well kept! The view from the deck is spectacular, and you really don’t get the feel of it from just a picture! The fire pit and grill were also some great touches! The location of this cabin is perfect! You are really close to pigeon forge, downtown Gatlinburg, and the smoky mountains national park! My mother and I road tripped from Ohio for her 50th birthday, and our expectations were beyond met! We literally booked the morning of our stay, and we were lucky enough to get booked last minute! The host, Lise is wonderful! She was very responsive, and super helpful with all of our questions! I absolutely recommend this cabin to anyone staying in the area, and I can’t wait to return!
Ralph's Review Mountain Magic Cabin-Beautiful Mountain View Overall rating 5 A little hard to find, but well worth the effort! Beautiful views in an extremely comfortable cabin!
Samantha This was a lovely retreat for my parents. They really enjoyed the proximity of the cabin to pigeon forge and Gatlinburg! The extra touches with the s’mores, wine, and mints made them feel very welcome and the views and hot tub were a great escape as well.
Kelly The perfect secluded cabin! Perfectly situated away from the crowds, yet provides easy access to Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and Smokey Mountains National Park. The cabin is nicely furnished and very clean, beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is equipped with everything needed for your stay. There are both a drip and Kuerig coffee maker, which are very convenient. The deck and hot tub were a huge hit with us, providing a fantastic space to relax and enjoy the stars! The hosts provided all the ingredients for s’mores out at the fire ring and the kids enjoyed playing corn hole while we got the fire going. Hands down one of our best experiences to date and we will be keeping this host/location on our list of favorites!
Katie Such a great location and beautiful cabin! Will be returning ❤️
Brandy This was a cute little cabin. It was easy to find. Upon entry you felt right at home. There were welcoming touches immediately upon entry from the oatmeal in the bowls ready for the next mornings breakfast to the s'mores ingredients on the counter for a midnight snack. I arrived late, but the cabin was lit well enough that I wasn't frightened. I made myself at home and laid down for a night full of rest. The next morning I enjoyed mimosas for five hours in the hot tub while sitting in the cold mountain air while only listening to nature and actually enjoying the sound of my spouse's voice. I didn't want the outside world to touch us for a few short hours and this cabin allowed just that. After getting out of the hot tub, we ran inside for a quick dry off and warm up in front of the fire that my husband started about ten minutes before we went inside while I enjoyed my last mimosa so I could enter an extra cozy atmosphere. After a nap, we drove to Gatlinburg which took about 15 minutes. It probably would have taken less time, but it was beginning to snow and the mountain was slightly treacherous. We enjoyed dinner and came back through Pigeon Forge where we stopped for some water etc. I do recommend stocking up on these type of supplies before getting to your cabin. Before I knew it, we were in the middle of no where and no stores were to be found when driving in on Friday night. We traveled back into the cabin from Pigeon Forge and it took about 10 minutes. Upon arriving at the cabin it was another quick dip in the hot tub and a glass of Pressico which was provided to us by our wonderful host. We later enjoyed s'mores and went to bed. Before departure, it was not a rush at all. Cleaning was a breeze. I'm not sure what other people are fussing about. Unless you don't clean up after yourself as you should on a daily basis, then this should be simple. It took less than 30 minutes for us to get it all done and ready for us to leave. I am so thankful that I found this cabin for rent on a short notice. From my very first communication with the owner Lisa, I was happy. I enjoyed a quick stress free unplanned weekend getaway with my husband. She even places a piece of chocolate on the pillow of her guests. It's simple touches like this that say that being rustic and in the woods does not mean you have to be without class and sophistication. Lisa's cabin is big enough to sleep four people comfortably. The two bedrooms are both well furnished with large beds and televisions. The living room provides plenty of seating options, lounging, or even a quick nap on a couch. The back porch is very nice. My only tip for Lisa is that I should have gotten a night (or even two) for free. All jokes aside, I have no recommendations for Lisa. I do however recommend this cabin for future travelers because this trip was simply amazing. Thank you Lisa! I hope we can come back again soon (very soon). Thank you, The Jones Family
Wellford We had a great time, and the cabin was the perfect size for us. Communication was extremely impressive, and the owners provided a wealth of information about local hikes and things to do. One of the best experiences we've ever had on Airbnb!
Alexa Beautiful cabin with amazing views and hot tub. We arrived when it was dark out and the drive up is not for the weary (very dark and not much signage in regards to knowing when a curve was coming). Other than that everything was amazing.
Melissa Thank you for such a great stay with early check in and the added sparkling cider for our 10 year anniversary! Ca bin and hot tub was amazing
Martha We had a lovely stay. The place is well laid out, nicely decorated, and feels isolated. There are lots of rules but are mainly reasonable.
Pulkit Perfect location, great amenities. Lisa was super responsive with all our questions and the check-in process was a breeze. Not too far from the national park either. Would highly recommend!
David This was our second visit for an anniversary getaway. The cabin is very cozy with all the comforts of home, it’s super clean and the views are amazing. We lucked out this year and caught the seasonal colors change. The Smoky Mountains, dinning and souvenir shopping are all close by but you feel far away from it all when enjoying the cabin. The host, Lise, is very responsive when needing any questions answered or a concern addressed. We highly recommend staying here for any couple looking to get away for some R&R and quality alone time. Same great experience as the first stay! 5 Stars!! David & KC Naples, FL
Ashley My husband and I just got back from an amazing 4 night stay. The cabin is nice and tucked away but still close to all resturants and the park. Very private and gorgeous scenery. The cabin was so clean and having a class of wine while sitting in the hot tub just topped everything off. We are planning to make another trip in the future.
Julianne Lise was a wonderful host who was friendly and helpful with local tips about beautiful hiking trails for when we were spent from hiking Charlie's Bunion. The extra little touches were great, and we enjoyed staying in this romantic cabin. We also took advantage of the games like cornhole and checkers, and we loved the smores and the firepit. The positive reviews were what brought us in, and I'm so glad. You'll love the view from the hot tub. :)
Brandi I absolutely loved my trip to this peaceful cabin. Everything was very clean and adequate for our trip.. I highly recommend this cabin and host.. beyond pleased!
Sheila Lise was a pleasure to talk to and the house and land was amazing. The bed was so comfortable and the little details of things made my anniversary trip amazing. We will remeber to stay here again and again when we go back to the smokies.
Brandon This stay exceeded our expectations, my only regret is we didn’t stay longer. Lise was very responsive about any inquires of the cabin or things to do. The cabin was private, clean and had amenities. Breath-taking view of Mount Le Conte. Lise worked with us as my car was experiencing some issues she referred us to a trusted mechanic & checked up on us. Will definitely be back in the future :D
Sue Look no further if you’re looking for a beautiful little getaway in the gatlinburg area. This place is absolutely perfect. The hosts are amazing with all the little personal gestures and special touches throughout the place . The place was immaculately clean and a beautiful view from the back deck . The hot tub was amazing after a long day of hiking . You feel completely secluded in your own little private cabin in the woods yet knowing the hosts were close by was also nice. It’s far enough away from the city yet close enough to get a grocery store etc for anything you need. You will not be disappointed . It’s a gem :)
Brenda The cabin and setting was perfect! It was so beautiful and relaxing - just what we needed. The manager was so welcoming and helpful. I didn't want to leave :-)
Maria This place is great. -Very upfront in their communication. No hidden rules or contracts, all house rules in Airbnb house rules section. -Place was very clean with a beautiful view. Hot tub was very clean, like no one else had used it. -Beds were super comfy and clean. -Great local tips on places to hike. -Cute touches throughout the cabin.
Rachel Well what can I say? Apparently not enough... from the the warm ambience of low lights, wonderful homey smell and a chilled bottle of wine, along with gentle jazz music playing when we got there to the super clean hot tub with gaping views of the Smokey mountains, this place has it all. We wanted a quiet place to come back to after a bustling day visiting the towns and attractions and we were not disappointed. Any little blips we had, Lise was quickly in communication to sort out and make us as comfortable as we could possibly be. We chose this cabin purely based on the reviews, it was just my husband and I wanting a romantic getaway for Valentine’s Day and my birthday weekend. This little place is a gem. The tiny touches of thoughtfulness will leave you smiling. If you want a beautiful home away from home, then look no further, sometimes we couldn’t wait to get back to this cozy little cabin and it’s peacefulness. We will definitely be back, of that you can be sure, thank you Lise for going above and beyond. Oh and did I mention the super comfy beds???
Garrett Where do I start!! Communication from Liza felt like I was talking to family. Liza gave us tips on what sort of things to do while we were there and to make sure that we schedule the snow tube tickets immediately as they sell out (which they did glad we got them). The location is one of the last places on the road. When we arrived she had some sparking apple raspberry juice for us. She also left out some essentials for smores and popcorn. Very welcoming experience for my family. The location has a beautiful view. The pictures really don't do it justice you really have to experience it for yourself. I found myself lying in bed with the blinds open and looking out at the mountain when I woke up in the morning. Really fun experience for the whole family. Would do it again if I had the opportunity.
Caleb Beautiful secluded view.
Carlos Host are amazing and very pleasant. They really put in the effort to make sure you have a lovely, comfortable, and beautiful experience. The views are absolutely amazing and the hot tub is a nice touch as well. Side note have a little extra cash on hand before you leave for house keeping because she does an awesome job preparing the cabin for your arrival!
Lori From the moment we arrived we were blown away! The beauty of the surroundings, the cabin and the amazing owner’s far exceeded my expectations. So romantic but also family friendly. I love the porch and the hot tub. The special treat was walking in and having a bottle of bubbly waiting and music playing, very inviting. Lise introduced us to some new experiences in the Smokey’s and we were able to see quite a few Elk, so majestic!!! We will be back for sure, love this cabin!
Mark This place has a tremendous view of the mountains, is spectacularly clean, and has a great hot tub. If you are looking for a quiet place to relax yet within a short drive to Gatlinburg, Smoky Mountains, and Pigeon Forge, this is a wonderful choice. Lise is a great host. Highly recommended.
Angelica This was the first time we have ever been to the Smoky mountains. I am glad we went with this cabin. Getting to it was pretty easy for us. The cabin itself was super clean. I love the feel of it and all of the finishes are very nice. This place feels very homey and cozy but not the tight cozy. We were there with our 2 kids and there was plenty of space for everybody. The view and the hot tub were awesome too. The cabin sits on a very private area, just exactly what we were looking for. Will definitely be staying there again.
Mark The cabin and amenities are top notch. The view from the back can’t be put into words, or conveyed from a picture. The host kept up with us, and was available at all times. An amazing experience. Highly recommended!
April Such a cute cabin! We had a great girls weekend! Very thoughtful touches and immaculate. Thanks Lise!
Cliff If you are considering this cabin - look no further. The pictures really do not do this cabin justice. The cabin is pretty luxurious and up to date. The cabin was immaculately clean when we arrived and our host Lise had Prosecco and sparkling cider (for our children) on ice when we arrived along with snores and popcorn. The view is the best we have ever had in the Gatlinburg area and we can't say enough about how magical this property is. Enjoying the hot tub at sunset after a long day was amazing - peering out over the deck and seeing the sun hitting the mountains in the distance was truly incredible. We felt as if we were the only ones on the planet, yet only a few miles away are attractions like Dollywood. We loved how we felt we were in the middle of the mountains in a remote area, but conveniently this cabin is close to everything you could ever want to do in the area. We can't wait to stay at this location again - we don't want to stay anywhere else after the experience we had. Thank you Lise for your hospitality and quick responses. You made our vacation a magical one and we can't wait to visit next summer.
Rob We have stayed in several cabins around Pigeon Gorge and this has one of the most beautiful views we have seen. We booked a last minute get-away and Stonecreek had great communication and the place was in fabulous shape when we arrived. Wonderful stay and we look forward to coming back.
Navjot The apartment was amazing. It was clean and had everything you need to feel at home. Lisa is a great host. If she is giving you tips, make sure you listen to them and consider during your trip. She has a vast knowledge of the area. We visited during the memorial long weekend and Lisa told us the route to follow to avoid traffic and it did help. I will highly recommend this place and will definitely come back again
Jacque Mountain Magic was by far the best cabin we have rented in the area! My husband and I chose to celebrate our anniversary there. The setting is peaceful and quiet. Very private. The views are breathtaking. It was obvious the owner, Lise, really cared about her guests and she went above and beyond to make the cabin special for us. We truly felt treated and special. The cabin was exceptionally clean with very comfortable beds. (Fabulous bedding!!!) The kitchen is fully equipped with everything we needed and then some. Every dish was clean!! The hot tub was amazing, and has exceptional views. We spent hours on the porch taking in the views. This was a perfect weekend and I would highly recommend this cabin! My husband and I look forward to staying there again!
Peter Cleanest AIRBNB we've ever rented. Tons of little touches made this a great stay. Great property. Clean grill. Cleanest hot tub I've ever seen. Well lit and everything worked. Beds very nice. Owner was responsive and helpful. Saw some reviews that mentioned rules; nothing out of the ordinary. Everything is just common sense and civil. Would not hesitate to rent from this owner again.
Marci Lise’s Mountain Magic cabin was AMAZING to say the least. My now husband and I rented for four nights for our wedding/honeymoon. First off, when we walked in she had a love song channel playing and had champagne and glasses out for us. It was such a sweet surprise to walk into! She also made homemade eclairs and sweet pickles, had stuff for s’mores, poinsettias and other cute touches. So thoughtful! The view from the cabin is absolutely breathtaking, the picture doesn’t even do it justice! The bed was incredibly conformable, so much that we are now shopping for a king size bed ha! The cabin is ~15 from both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge which is very convenient. Lise is very responsible and provided very detailed directions to get to the cabin. We loved so many parts of our trip and would 100% recommend you rent if looking for a place to stay in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area!!
Denise Great secluded place to stay.
David Anyone looking for a great Airbnb experience look no further. We came up from Naples, FL to get away for our anniversary and were extremely pleased with every aspect of our stay. Communication with Lise prior to our arrival and during our stay was excellent. The cabin was immaculate and we found the extremely kind gesture of an anniversary cake and sparkling wine when we entered. We had privacy and amazing views from within the cabin and when making use of the hot tub. The pictures do not fully capture the beauty of this place. So, if you want privacy, amazing views and multiple forms of entertainment with a short drive to Pigeon Forge or the National Park, then this cabin will meet your needs. Thank you so much again Lise! Hope to stay again in the near future! Take care. David & KC
D And K This is a really Airbnb. They do have a few more rules than others I've stayed at, but nothing prohibiting a great stay. Prosecco upon arrival and mints on the pillow were a great touch. Lise also made sure we had some good insight on some local trails. I would definitely stay here again
Andrew What a magical experience! I won't spoil the surprises, but this place was far above and beyond any experience I've had. My three friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the seclusion of the Smoky Mountains for our weekend getaway, and will definitely be back!
Ld This was an absolutely amazing cabin. Such a great weekend get away. The way it’s set up makes you feel like you’re very secluded and no one is near, but neighbors are around. The place was absolutely spotless and the treatment we got was out of this world. I would 100% recommend! I’m sure we will be staying here again next time we come to town!
Candy Great and private cabin with fantastic amentities. Huge hot tub with a beautiful view! Chocolates on the bed and Champagne on ice awaiting our arrival after a long drive! Could not have asked for a better experience.
Joe This location is very versatile. The cabin is terrific for relaxing to a good movie or one of many provided movies. You can enjoy a terrific view of the mountains from the back porch while being entertained by pretty hummingbirds at arms length. You can relax on the side of a hill while grilling out and then later roasting marsh mellows over a fire pit while gazing at the stars. All of this in a very private setting, as if your alone in the mountains.
Lulu Our time at the mountain magic was absolutely magical! We couldn't get enough and the long weekend seemed too short. The hospitality was amazing, tips around town, directions on point, cleanliness of the place, we loved it all!
Jenni Beautiful landscape and nicely furnished with everything we needed. Special touches added a lot after check-in. The owners were extremely hospitable ensuring a pleasant stay.
Andrew Quite possibly the best property that I have had an opportunity to stay at. Lise's communication prior to arrival and during our stay was superb, and the prosecco and Cherokee Purple heirloom tomatoes were and awesome arrival gift. The property was spectacular, with amazing views of the Smoky Mountains, and a perfect hot tub from which to them in. Can't wait to return next summer!
Zsolt This place is fantastic. You get exactly what you see on the photos. Breathtaking view, amazing location, well equipped cabin, a full bottle of welcome Prosecco. Friendly visitors in the garden from time to time like bunnies, wild turkeys, colibries etc. You can be in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park within 30 minutes. If you want to be in the nature but still close to any kind of facilities this place is a perfect choice. We had a fantastic week, perfect relaxation.
Alison Wow, wow and wow! This place is amazing! We stayed nearly a week, but could have stayed forever! The cabin is just the most relaxing, perfect holiday destination. From watching the sunrise over the mountain, to watching the sunset while sat in the hot tub. Pigeon Forge was convenient for everything, and there is so much to see and do nearby. We will aim to come back here as it is too wonderful a place to only stay in once
