Sticks and Stones — The Little Cabin That Keeps Calling You Back

Some cabins are nice. Sticks and Stones is something more — it's the kind of place guests return to for their 4th stay, their 6th stay, their 30th anniversary, their 45th anniversary. One guest even said Heartland's staff saved their entire trip when another rental fell through, and Sticks and Stones made their 30th anniversary unforgettable. With 140 five-star reviews and a near-perfect 4.9 rating, this cabin has earned every one of them.

A Location That Gets It Just Right

Nestled just off the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, tucked in the peaceful wooded hills between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, Sticks and Stones has mastered the art of being close to everything while feeling completely removed from it. Dollywood is 12 minutes away. Anakeesta is 13 minutes. The Island in Pigeon Forge is a quick drive down the mountain. But up here, surrounded by trees and mountain views, you'd never know any of it existed. That's the magic.

Inside: Cozy, Romantic & Made for Two

Step through the door and the cabin's warm personality immediately wraps around you. The living room is anchored by a gas fireplace that sets the perfect mood for slow mountain evenings — curl up together on the sofa, flip on a favorite movie, and let the outside world wait. The fully equipped kitchen makes breakfast and dinner easy without ever having to leave, and the half bath on the main level adds everyday convenience. Head upstairs to the king bedroom and you'll find the cabin's most charming architectural detail — a barn loft window that opens to overlook both the living room below and the mountains beyond. It's a feature that guests notice immediately and absolutely love. A flat screen TV and full bath complete the upstairs retreat.

The Screened Hot Tub: Your Private Evening Ritual

Step outside onto the covered, screened-in deck and settle into the four-person hot tub while the mountain air swirls around you and the trees sway in the breeze. This is the moment Sticks and Stones guests talk about most — the hot tub feels genuinely private and secluded, with rocking chairs nearby for when you want to simply sit, sip something warm, and breathe it all in. After a day of hiking the national park, exploring Gatlinburg, or riding the rides at Dollywood, nothing on earth feels better. The mountain views from the deck are gorgeous in every season — brilliant green in summer, jaw-dropping color in fall, peaceful white in winter, and full of new life in spring.

Built for Couples, Perfect for Small Families

The sleeper sofa in the living room gives Sticks and Stones flexible sleeping for up to 4 guests total, making it ideal for two couples, a couple with children, or anyone who needs a little extra space without sacrificing that intimate, cozy cabin feeling. Free Wi-Fi, washer/dryer, charcoal grill, and satellite TV with local channels round out everything you need for a seamless stay. Sticks and Stones sleeps up to 4 guests. No pets. No smoking. 4-wheel drive or chains required November through March in the event of inclement weather. With over 139 five-star reviews. Countless anniversaries celebrated. One perfect Smoky Mountain cabin — book Sticks and Stones today and start your own tradition.
