⛰️Views! Pool&hot tub! Firepit area! 20 mins to DWood, fenced yard! Pets welcome!

Forget your worries at this specious and serene space. Forbidden retreat is your perfect Smoky Mountain family getaway. We are conveniently located close to the interstate and away from any steep roads. Just 15 minutes from Sevierville and 20 minutes from Dollywood, you’ll get all the convenience without dealing with the dreaded traffic of the Parkway. Bring the pets to enjoy the fully fenced yard while you relax on the wrap around porch with amazing views of beautiful English Mountain. The space is perfect for large families, reunions, and small events. Depending on the event details, a fee does apply. All the rooms are very large and open, but there’s still room to spread out and separate when needed. For those of you who like to cook, you cannot ask for a better kitchen in a Smoky Mountain rental. It’s truly a Chef’s kitchen. When you aren’t out enjoying the local attractions, you’ll still feel like you are at one when you stay at Forbidden Retreat. We have supplied all the amenities you can ask for and the house is even equipped with a 14 foot projector screen for streaming your favorite movies, or bring your gaming console and enjoy that as well. Don’t forget to tour Forbidden Caverns (just 2 minutes away), visit famous Bush Brothers Beans, or take a dip in beautiful Douglas Lake (we offer lake adventure trips on a boat or can recommend local rental companies.

***Pets are welcome, but there is a fee. There is an option when booking to include the fee for one animal at $150 for the stay. However, we have had issues with the website having technical errors regarding this fee. Feel free to contact us with any questions regarding this.***

Family vacation

We had a family of 8 adults and 7 children ranging from 2-12. We had our family Christmas there and it was the perfect place to stay. The hosts provided everything you could ever need and even was kind enough to leave us some s’mores supplies which the kids enjoyed. The home is very clean and just wish we would have had more time to stay.

Absolutely lovely home plenty of space and lots to do. We had a wonderful stay. There was so much to do that I wish I planned more time to stay there instead of going to all the regular tourist attractions. About 30 minutes from Pigeon Forge Lake Douglas is not far if you like water activities I would definitely rent a boat

As beautiful as the pictures are for this listing, they do not do it justice. The home is amazing and spacious. Family of 6 and had space for everyone to enjoy. The amenities are next level. The game room provided lots of fun and great quality time. The theater area was great. My grandson loved the pool and playground area. The property itself was so peaceful but not too far to get to attractions. From the toddler to the adults, we all loved it.

Family trip to the Smokies & Douglas Lake for sons baseball tournament

This property has everything you could need whether staying for a few days or weeks. The hosts attention to small details is noticed as soon as you walk in. Great location gives you the feeling of being far from everything but just a few minute drive to grocery and other stores. We enjoyed the wrap around covered porch and lazy afternoons in the pool & on the sun deck. Huge projection screen in the basement was entertaining as well. We got to see a bear crossing through the neighbors property and deer/turkey in the back yard. Great place to stay. Highly recommend staying here.

Family gathering

My husband and I planned a family gathering and found this beautiful home. This place has everything we needed including the beautiful Mountain View’s. Because the host allows pets, we were able to bring our dogs with us. The backyard had plenty of space for them to chase bugs and run around. I am very appreciative for the dog necessities such as food and water bowls! The home had plenty of space for the entire family to enjoy the evening. We are so thankful that we chose this place. Communication with the host was also quick and easy.

Summer Get Away

Our family had a wonderful stay. The pictures and property description were spot on. The location provided us a private retreat with family. We felt welcomed immediately; our hostess, Iryna left us small gift to welcome us for the week. Our kids were able to enjoy playing outside, swimming in the pool and watching movies in the theater room. Everyone enjoyed the fire pit at the end of each day. The entire family enjoyed meals, and playing games on the porch. Be sure to add the Forbidden Caverns to your itinerary, less than 5 minutes from the property and enjoyed by all. Iryna was a great hostess and responded quickly to the few questions we had. Thanks for a wonderful time!!

The location of the house is perfect- close enough to the tourist things without all the traffic and noise. It was so peaceful. We brought our dogs and she had everything needed for them from treats, dog bowls, crates and toys for them to play with. The whole family enjoyed all the amazing amenities that the house had to offer. My little one loved the playground, and we all loved the arcade games, hot tub, fire pit and theatre room.

Awesome Property!!!

Perfect house in a great location. The house is super convenient to all the attractions in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Sevierville, but located in a quiet area with NO TRAFFIC. The adults enjoyed peaceful nights sitting on the huge porches and the kids absolutely loved the massive theater room downstairs. Fun, fun, fun!!!! Vacationing in the Smokey Mountains is always a blast, but this house honestly made it hard to leave on some days. The crazy amount of amenities and the small details were amazing....the game room, the open upstairs area, even the well-stocked laundry room was perfect!!! No complaints on anything. Immaculately clean as well. Can't wait to stay here again on our next trip!!!
