Lover's Escape - Private Antique Log Cabin with Panoramic Mountain Views

Step back in time without sacrificing modern luxury. Lover’s Escape is a meticulously restored, authentic antique log cabin originally built in the 1800s and relocated to the private Timberidge community. Perched at the very end of a dead-end road, this romantic retreat offers the rarest of Smoky Mountain luxuries: privacy combined with long-range, 180-degree mountain views.

Positioned perfectly for explorers, Lover's Escape is located between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. You are minutes away from every major attraction while remaining tucked away in a quiet wildlife preserve.

* 5 Minutes: Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance.

* 5 Minutes: Downtown Gatlinburg & Anakeesta.

* 10 Minutes: Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, and The Island.

* 4 Minutes: Wild Bear Falls Indoor Water Park.


The cabin's interior features hand-hewn logs and a warm, rustic atmosphere paired with upscale modern conveniences:

* The View: Enjoy your morning coffee in rocking chairs on the covered porch while watching for "locals"—bears, deer, turkeys, and eagles are frequent visitors.

* Relaxation: A private outdoor hot tub overlooks the mountain ridges, providing the perfect spot for sunset viewing or stargazing.

* Cozy Interiors: Warm up by the stone gas fireplace in the open living area or enjoy a movie on one of two Roku HD Smart TVs.

* Chef’s Kitchen: Fully equipped kitchen with all the essentials for a romantic dinner at home.

* King Suite: A spacious bedroom featuring a comfortable King-size bed and high-quality linens.

* High-Speed Wi-Fi: Perfect for streaming or remote work.

* Full Laundry: In-cabin washer and dryer for your convenience.

* Easy Access: Level parking and easy turn-around, rare for cabins with these views.

* Privacy: Only one other cabin at the end of the road—no "cabin graveyard" feel here.


Timberidge is a dedicated animal preserve. We take pride in being a quiet, nature-focused community. If you are looking for a peaceful escape to reconnect with nature and your partner, Lover’s Escape is your destination.

The cabin was in a great location to both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. It was clean and in a quiet location. The host was very informative with check in instructions and checking to make sure we arrived and had no issues. Follow his directions given by the instead of the GPS because our gps lead us to the wrong location and had us taking roads that were a little sketchy in a dually truck. We even got a glimpse of the neighborhood bear leaving the cabin after we checked out. We will definitely be back.

Great break from reality!

The views from the back porch are amazing! Derek was great to communicate with and was very accommodating when I wanted to book same-day. 4 stars on location simply because Apple Maps originally had me turning too soon and I ended up on the back side of the mountain. 1-2 switchbacks but they aren’t terrible.

This cabin is beyond better than the pictures! It is in a great location to get wherever you want to explore. We enjoyed every second whether it was on the deck, using the amazing hot tub, preparing a meal or just relaxing. We loved the decor and the furnishings were wonderful! Derek had thought of it all and even had directions how to see fireworks from Dollywood. I appreciated all the switches being labeled. The views are spectacular and we enjoyed seeing a. Variety if it’s and even glimpsed a baby bear in a tree. We also had momma and babies visit. Apparently they wanted a ride as they attempted to open our car doors. We enjoyed watching them from a safe distance as they wandered and then ate berries just below the deck. Derek has a nice booklet with all the info for the cabin plus there are hiking books for us to use for our day hikes. The cabin is one of the cleanest we have stayed in! If you are wanting a peaceful, beautiful view with it all cabin this is it! We plan to return. Thank you Derek for a wonderful stay and accommodating us when we extended our vacation!

Cozy cabin

1. There seemed to have been a neverending supply of flies that somehow got into the house. We never could figure out how they were getting in, but it seemed they were dying as quickly as they were getting in. It remains a mystery as we never kept food out in the open during our entire stay.2. Hot tub privacy could be better. We felt our neighbors up the hill could have easily been catching a peak if they had a notion to do so. We kept the porch lights off and used the available privacy curtains as best as we could.3. We felt there was inadequate supplies of toilet paper and paper towels in the cabin. Our stay was for an entire week and by the last day and a half, we were on our last sheets of each.4. It seems guests are expected to do at least one load of laundry during their stay. We were only provided four bath towels for an entire week's stay. We are heavy users of the hot tub so we used our towels quite often. This may just be me nitpicking.5. The cabin is not as secluded as I would have liked. Gatlinburg's cabin scene is crazy these days. Every hill has two dozen cabins on it and more are being built every time I visit. 6. Local traffic is atrocious. I expected bad traffic up and down Gatlinburg's main street given the time of year we visited, but after speaking with a friend of mine who lives nearby, apparently traffic in the area has gone off the deep end and is terrible always.Otherwise, our stay was excellent. Communication with the host was excellent.
