Property Description

Top of the World — Newly Remodeled, Utterly Unforgettable

Newly remodeled in 2024 and better than ever, Top of the World is a two-level log cabin masterpiece perched between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge with sweeping mountain views, two stunning river stone fireplaces, a custom stained-glass window that catches the light in every season, and the kind of craftsmanship that makes guests stop in the doorway and simply take it all in. One guest got engaged here on Christmas morning. Another called it "the best vacation we've ever had." With 101 reviews and a 4.8 rating, it's easy to see why.

The Setting: Mountain Views, Total Privacy

Tucked just outside Pigeon Forge on the scenic stretch between the city and Gatlinburg, Top of the World delivers the best of both — close enough to Dollywood (12 minutes), Anakeesta (13 minutes), and all the Pigeon Forge action you could want, yet positioned high enough and privately enough that you'd never know any of it existed. The entire west side of the cabin opens to mountain views, and the screened-in porch with hot tub lets you take it all in without leaving the comfort of your retreat.

The Upper King Suite: Pure Indulgence

The top floor is dedicated entirely to the king bedroom suite — a spacious, beautifully appointed retreat featuring a massive jacuzzi tub, river stone gas fireplace, TV, and windows overlooking the mountains. This is the kind of bedroom that makes every morning feel like a luxury hotel experience and every evening feel like a dream. The combination of the jacuzzi, the fireplace, and the mountain view from the bedroom windows is simply unmatched in the Heartland portfolio.

The Main Level: Warm, Welcoming & Full of Character

Step down to the main level and the cabin's character immediately shines. The living room features the second river stone fireplace — flanked by that gorgeous custom stained-glass window that guests consistently mention — along with a TV and a sleeper sofa for added sleeping flexibility. The fully equipped kitchen with Keurig and all the essentials keeps the whole group fed and happy, and the centerpiece of the dining room is something you truly have to see: a breathtaking table crafted from Aspen tree logs that seats 6 comfortably and feels like a piece of fine art. The main-level queen bedroom with its own full bath and TV gives a second couple or family members comfortable private sleeping space, while two full baths with hair dryers ensure nobody is ever waiting in line.

The Screened Porch: Mountain Living at Its Finest

Off the living room, the screened-in porch is where Top of the World truly earns its name. The hot tub is ready year-round, the mountain views stretch as far as the eye can see, and the rockers on the back porch invite you to sit, breathe, and remember what actually matters. Whether you're soaking under a sky full of stars, sipping coffee in the morning mist, or watching the fall colors paint the ridgelines in October, this porch delivers the quintessential Smoky Mountain experience. Top of the World sleeps up to 6 guests and includes free Wi-Fi, Keurig, washer/dryer, charcoal grill, and free parking. No pets. No smoking. Decorated for Christmas during the holiday season. 4-wheel drive or chains required November through March in the event of inclement weather. Newly remodeled. Two river stone fireplaces. Mountain views on every side. Someone even got engaged here. Book Top of the World today — your Smoky Mountain story starts here.
