Welcome to The Big Easy – Your Smoky Mountain Escape!

Perched in the heart of Gatlinburg’s scenic landscape, The Big Easy invites you to unwind and reconnect in the lap of comfort and fun. This four-bedroom, four-bathroom gem is the perfect getaway for families, friends, or groups seeking a memorable mountain retreat. With easy access to Gatlinburg’s top attractions—think Dollywood, the charming downtown streets, and endless outdoor adventures—you’re in for an unforgettable stay.

Step into the spacious living area, where cozy seating, a crackling fireplace, and a flat-screen TV make for the ultimate relaxation spot. Share meals and laughter at the oversized dining table with seating for 10, or grab a quick snack at the kitchen counter with barstool seating. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to whip up hearty breakfasts or indulgent midnight treats.

Upstairs, a bonus bunk area—complete with a twin-over-twin bunk bed and a foosball table—offers a playful hideout for kids or a comfy spot for additional guests. Downstairs, the game room takes fun to the next level with a pool table, foosball, and the nostalgic charm of an arcade classic: Ms. Pac-Man. For those seeking a little downtime, the sleeper sofa is ready to accommodate.

But the true star? The private hot tub on one of the home’s multiple decks. Imagine soaking under the stars after a day of exploring the Smokies, the crisp mountain air enveloping you. With plenty of outdoor seating across the balconies, you’ll have front-row seats to nature’s show.

Convenient parking and a prime location make The Big Easy your gateway to everything Gatlinburg has to offer. From thrilling adventures to peaceful mornings on the deck, this mountain haven strikes the perfect balance between excitement and relaxation.

The house is great, but the hosts really stood out. When we arrived, the refrigerator was having major issues and they sent someone out to work on it right away. They also sent a small refund with no prompting whatsoever. When we realized the coffee maker was missing, they immediately sent a brand new one to the house. Very responsive and clearly serious about ensuring their guests are satisfied and have a good stay.

Spring Break 25

We had a great time at The Big Easy! Very clean cabin with lots of room and lovely porches! We loved the location, it was very easy to get down to the strip in Gatlinburg or hop over to Pigeon Forge. The hot tub was lovely, kitchen was stocked nicely with pots, pans, knives, etc. the beds were super comfortable and we all slept great!! A few items that didn’t live up to the hype or maybe just need a little attention: the basement TV appeared like the screen was beginning to go out (dark spot over half of the screen), the pacman machines screen also seemed like it was on its way out, the pool cues need new tips, one of the washers was dirty and had an awful smell, the chairs at the dining room table were beautiful but very uncomfortable. We like to play cards so sitting at the table was not as enjoyable as we had hoped.

Spring break

So we came to stay at the Big Easy for spring break , my six kids and our 3dogs. It started off rough because when we got there maintenance was there because the previous family froze the freezer out so we had no refrigerator the first 3 days of our trip. We were given three coolers and bags if ice. It beat a blank but could you imagine 6 kids with no refrigerator it was rough. The second day we came back to a man fixing attempting to fix the refrigerator, and I felt a way about that because no one communicated that someone was coming in the unit and when, so we came back to him, after a while i told him to leave because we was trying to eat from being out a long time. They gave me 100 back which i felt should of been more because food I bought got ruined by the water in the cooler but i just left it alone and tried to enjoy the trip. Also i loved the patios but couldn’t really enjoy because of the huge bee’s that was just hanging out with us evert time we came out so we went back in. Other than that the cabin was great, but spending a lil over 2000 i wish the refrigerator worked cus we soent way too mich in food.

After a couple attempted calls to our host, he apologized profusely and gave us the correct property info which was 30 minutes away. He also gaves us a 350 refundforour inconvenience

Big Easy Accommodated Our Group Perfectly

Booking, communication, check-in/check-out, maintenance, decor and Christmas decor, kitchen was nice and had all the necessities (even extras), hot tub, cabin location and layout were all great!!! We even had a bear come up to the cabin 2 nights, which was way cool (after being a little scared at first). Couple of recommendations from our group of 11 (10 adults & 1 infant). There were plenty of towels, blankets & beds. All but 1 bed were comfortable. The one in the basement needs replaced. It was like sleeping in a divot.The large dining table looks super cool but the chairs are the most uncomfortable chairs ever! A few people sat on a cooler instead of the chair because they are so small & hurt your tailbone. The tall barstools were a lot more comfortable than the table chairs.It would be nice if there was more seating in the family area. Maybe 2 couches or a sectional with a couple of chairs. Something to accommodate the amount of people that can stay there. We had to call maintenance because there wasn’t hot water. Maintenance was very responsive and come to find out they had flipped a breaker off earlier and forgot to flip it back on. He walked us through flipping it back on and we had hot water right away. We all said we would stay there again! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Adorable Cabin

This cabin is adorable. It’s a great location-close to Gatlinburg national park for hiking. We had 4 couples. Everyone got their own bedroom with king bed and bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked; plenty of dishes, utensils and pots/pans. We saw 6 bears in the 3 days we were there. Had a hard time getting answers from the host but they finally responded.

Girls trip!

We rented this cabin for a long weekend girls trip, it comfortably slept 8 of us with additional beds throughout (2 queen bunks in loft, additional day bed on 1st floor) The cabin was very well equipped and less that 15 minutes from the strip in Gatlinburg, the closest store was only minutes away. The setting was perfect as other cabins are around but there’s a lot of woods and foliage to give you privacy. I was concerned about the size from the front of the cabin, but when you walk in you are pleasantly surprised as the cabin is HUGE! Decks on all 3 floors with rocking chairs on each. We will definitely be renting this place again!

My family and I had a great time staying at the Big Easy. Great location. Plenty of space in the house. The area was amazing. We loved seeing the daily black bear visits! (while being cautious not to disrupt them and we stayed inside). I highly recommend the property. No major issues or complaints.

The property was exactly as advertised. We had a large family gathering which the house accommodated perfectly. I liked the location, which was close enough to downtown gatlinburg while feeling secluded from the crowds. We had at least 4 bear airings on our property during our week long stay, adding an element of fun for the family. I would recommend this place to others.

A perfect spot

The Big Easy was perfect for our family group of ten. There was room for everyone to stretch out, plenty of indoor activities in the game room basement, a huge dining room table where we could eat together and play games. The beds were so comfortable and the linens cozy. The bonus (for us) was the bear who checked out the trash bin and moved on into the trees. It was easy to get to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We highly recommend.

Perfect Family Cabin

The Big Easy was ideal for our short family vacation! Each master has a king bed, cozy fireplace and bath! The upstairs loft area is bigger than it looks. It was percent for our teenagers. Not too strep of a drive to get up and down from cabin which we appreciate. And because it’s on the end of street we had plenty of parking. I had plenty to of Wilson’s and host was great to get back to me. Community pool is walking distance but we didn’t walk because we were luck enough to see a few bears on our trip. Would definitely recommend The Big Easy!!!

The Big Easy in June

The property was just as pictured. It was perfect for our active family including our dog. You are in the woods and bears frequented our cabin almost daily, so be aware that you need to keep an eye out for them. That being said, getting views of a female and her 3 cubs (at a safe distance) was a once in a lifetime event for us. The cabin has a number of carpenter bees and some sort of wasps drilling holes in the outer walls. This needs to be addressed. The other issue is this house did not have automatic access to Gatlinburg Falls Resort community pool.

Christmas 2023

The cabin was "as advertised". We had a small issue which maintenance took care of promptly. The cabin is well stocked especially in the kitchen. There is parking for 4 vehicles. We had 9 adults, 1 teenager and 1 child. and there were 3 bunk beds that we did not even use. We stayed 8 nights. The living room has enough seating (sofa and chairs) for 6 adults, We had to supplement with bag chairs and chairs from the kitchen table. Suggestions for improvements: Although the kitchen table had plenty of room for everyone, the kitchen chairs (which are pretty) are not comfortable to sit on for any length of time and we suggest that you replace them with something more comfortable. Another suggestion for improvement: The stools for the kitchen counter are too tall and difficult for an average adult to get up on. I would suggest that they too are replaced with a more suitable stool.
