Welcome to Friar’s Fifth, a charming log cabin nestled on Ski Mountain in Gatlinburg, TN. This two-bedroom vacation rental property oozes Appalachian charm, and it boasts convenience to downtown Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

The living area offers an open-concept plan, and tall ceilings make the already spacious room feel open and airy. Warm wood tones bring a cozy feel to this cabin, and lovely finishes make it truly feel like home. The gathering area features a sofa and armchairs that surround a fireplace and a large TV. A multi-cade arcade table adds to the charm, offering the perfect place to perch for some friendly competition.

The adjacent dining area offers seating for four, and a fully equipped kitchen lies just beyond, providing the perfect place to enjoy home-cooked meals (just bring groceries). A king bedroom suite is also available on the main level, and its bathroom is home to a shower/tub combo.

Outside, the deck is shrouded in the lush greenery of the Smokies. It’s home to rocking chairs and a large hot tub, perfect for soaking away your stress at the end of a day out and about.

Upstairs, guests will find a second king bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, complete with a shower/tub combo. A separate jetted jacuzzi tub is also located upstairs, adding to the home’s long list of amenities.

Guests of this Gatlinburg cabin rental have access to three clubhouses, the closest to Friar’s Fifth being the North Clubhouse, which has three swimming pools, lighted tennis courts, a paved walking trail, ping pong, foosball, and assorted yard games.

Smoky mountain house

The house was nice and comfortable. The photo didn’t match what the house actually looked like. Other than that great stay :)
