The scenic mountain drive to Goldilocks Haven ends as you round the bend and get your first peak of the majestic, towering log ‘Chabin’ (chalet + cabin) with a bright red roof, fronted with decks on all three levels. The driveway brings you to a quaint seating area with firepit, grill and games. Once inside, you immediately know your stay will be fun as you enter the game room with pool table and PacMan. The view from the hot tub is stunning, just as it is from all the chairs, table seating areas, and swing on each of the decks. The open floor-plan kitchen, dining and living room creates a venue for enjoying time together over food and games or relaxing in front of the fire. The main floor bedroom and two upper bedrooms (2 King beds & 1 Queen - sleeps up to 9 guests) are spacious and inviting, with comfy beds and outdoors-inspired décor, all designed professionally, to bring the beauty and feel of the natural setting and wildlife indoors, further enhancing the feeling that you're TRULY leaving behind the concrete jungle for the tranquility the Great smoky mountains National Park have to offer you! Two full bathrooms, one on the main and another on the upper level, recently renovated.

This cabin and owner more than meet expectations. The owner has put a lot of thought into supplying all your needs. Although we had no kids with our group, this is a great place for them. So many games and activities. And the owner is great with communication. She checked on us to make sure everything met our expectations. Will definitely book again.

Wonderful Stay

The house was in a great location and was stocked with everything you could possibly think of. The kids loved all of the games and activities. Paula was by far the best host I have ever worked with! The information she provided about directions, driving do's and dont's, check in and just generally checking to see if we needed anything was awesome. We would definitely stay again!

Nice place. Believe them about the bears. We saw 5 different bears during our 4 day stay. Don’t try making a right turn into the driveway, too steep, go up the street and turn around so you can make a left hand turn into the driveway. Very hilly area, drive slow, roads are narrow. Decks on house are good, nice view (not of the mountains but of the area). We weren’t at house much but there’s things to do there if you get stuck there due to weather or whatever. Host was responsive and helpful.

June 2025 Stay at Goldilocks Haven

I can't say enough good things about Paula and Goldilocks Haven! From the moment I booked when I received a personalized video from her introducing herself up until the final day of our stay - she was top notch. Her communication and care for her property and those who stay there are like nothing we've experienced staying at other properties. The cabin itself was great as well - very clean, everything was in great shape, labeled clearly, everything worked as promised, and there were even extras included that we weren't expecting and were very excited about! And we saw SO many bears, which was a HUGE goal of ours on this trip!If you're looking for a place to stay for an upcoming Gatlinburg trip - I highly recommend Goldilocks Haven! You won't find a better host :)

We had a wonderful time at Goldilocks’ Haven. We loved the family game room and relaxing in the hot tub and just sitting on the decks and enjoying the scenery. We especially enjoyed seeing the multiple bears and cubs.

This was a wonderful property that fit our family of 6 perfectly. Paula and John thought of everything and then some. They were extremely helpful and responsive for any travel needs for the area.
