"Fly Away" Cabin in Pigeon Forge/Sevierville, TN

07/03/2026

We were up a couple of weekends ago to restock and replace, as well as add a few new touches! We are a pet friendly Cabin for those of you who don’t know, and we saw this super cute idea when we stayed at another vacation rental over the holidays, so we included it in our place so that there are blankets specific to animals lol.

Lots of dates open this season, and we understand, because times are hard for a lot of folks and priorities have to be priorities. If you are able to enjoy a getaway in the smokies, we hope you will choose our place! And if you have enjoyed staying with us, we hope you will share!

Moonshine and wine tastings aren’t for everyone, so how about a cookie tasting? Head over to Byrd Cookie Company to sample some of their delightful cookies and take home your faves. I love the salted caramel, key lime, and lemon cookies!
