Simply Unforgettable lives up to its name. As soon as you drive up to the pet-friendly log cabin, with its walkway over a delightful little creek, you’ll be charmed. And once you step inside and see its amenities—including fireplaces, a pool table, a two-person multigame arcade table and an indoor jetted tub—you’ll be positively delighted. Also delightful is its location: serene, seemingly secluded, yet just five minutes from downtown Gatlinburg.

Newly rebuilt, Simply Unforgettable all but sparkles from its lustrous wood floors, walls and its stainless-steel kitchen appliances. Large picture windows let in plenty of sunshine during the day, and on brisk winter evenings the gas fireplace will bathe the great room in golden warmth. The log-style furnishings and the plush leather seating add to the welcoming rustic ambiance, while the large flat-screen TV with cable and the free Wi-Fi are just a few of the cabin’s modern-day comforts.

Simply Unforgettable is close to scores of restaurants, but once you see the fabulously equipped kitchen, you may want to cook at least a few meals. It’s always more fun to cook in someone else’s kitchen! Brew coffee in the morning, whip up margaritas at night, and in between channel your inner Top Chef!

Located in the loft, the game room offers something for everyone. A full-sized pool table, a multi-game two player arcade table, a flat-screen TV and windows looking out onto lush woodlands. Sharing the space is a queen-size bed. If you’re vacationing with the kids, they’ll jump at the chance to sleep here. Who wouldn’t want an arcade table in their bedroom? The loft also comes equipped with a full bathroom. As well as a washer and dryer.

The second bedroom and bathroom are on the main floor. This primary suite opens directly onto the rear deck, so you can step out late at night to stargaze with that special someone—perhaps as you luxuriate in the deck’s roomy hot tub! If you prefer to soak indoors, you can do that too. The en-suite bathroom has a jetted tub as well as a walk-in shower. Afterward laze on the queen-size bed, basking in the glow of the gas fireplace, or that of the wall-mounted TV. What’s more, the great room sofa opens into another queen-size bed, so that Simply Unforgettable can sleep six people and two pets!

Because Simply Unforgettable has both a front porch and a back deck, you’ll have ample opportunities to relax amid the burbling of the creek, the fresh mountain breezes, the singing of chickadees in the morning and the chirping of tree frogs at night. While the rear deck hot tub might be a favorite perch for relishing the scenery, the Adirondack-style rocking chairs are wonderful for kicking back with coffee in the morning and cocktails at night.

The cabin’s setting is so rustic, you’ll find it tough to believe just how close it is to the area’s attractions. In only five minutes you can drive to downtown Gatlinburg, with its thrill rides, shops, mini golf, distilleries, arcades, aquarium and other attractions. Equally close is the Great Smoky Arts and Crafts Community, an eight-mile trail of more than 100 galleries, studios and shops. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is only 10 minutes from Simply Unforgettable. Once there you can hike, bike or ride horses among its flora, fauna and waterfalls. You will find Dollywood is merely 15 minutes away.
