Breathtaking Mountain Views, Propane Fire Pit, Minutes to Nat’l Park.

Your perfect Smoky Mountain vacation awaits at A Step Above. The cabin is situated high on Cove Mountain which provides views that will take your breath away. We are located in Wears Valley, just minutes to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance (Metcalf Bottoms entrance). The cabin sits on a 3.5 acre lot, so there are no cabins directly beside or below.

The cabin is over 3,600 square feet, so you have plenty of space to spread out. The main level features a large family/dining area with 2-story ceilings and 180-degree views of the mountains and valley. There is a natural stone gas fireplace in the main living area. The fully equipped kitchen is spacious and features brand new Kitchen Aid stainless appliances (with a double oven), granite countertops, and plenty of cabinet space to store your groceries. The Master suite features a his/hers closet and attached bath with garden tub, shower and double vanity.

Just outside the main living area you can step down off the deck onto a custom stone patio and propane fire pit. There is seating for eight, and the hot tub is adjacent to the patio. This feature was custom built in Sept. 2023. The fire pit provides heat and cozy ambiance, but is not for cooking s'mores or food of any kind. Sit back, relax and enjoy the sweeping mountain views.

The deck wraps around the main level and boasts 180-degree views of the mountains and valley. There is a porch swing and six rocking chairs to enjoy the mountain air and views.

The loft level features an open seating area with two plush swivel rockers & ottomans, a TV, and gorgeous mountain views. Off the loft seating area, there is a Queen bedroom with vaulted ceilings, a full bath, and a bedroom with two twin beds, also with vaulted ceilings.

The lower level has a comfy TV seating area with a recliner sofa and two plush recliners. A gas fireplace adds warmth and ambiance. There is a pool table and game table, and a cabinet full of board and card games. There is a queen bedroom, a full bath and laundry room on this level. The movie room features eight theater seats and a large wall mounted television & sound bar for watching movies, shows and games.

We feature the fastest internet available in the area. It's a premium business class speed, perfect for working remotely/virtual school. We provide streaming services free of charge, including Hulu Live (which also includes all the basic "cable" channels you are accustomed to at home), Disney + and ESPN + content, as well as free Netflix.

We are just 10 miles from the Parkway (Pigeon Forge), and only 14 miles from downtown Gatlinburg traveling through the National Park. The National Park entrance is just minutes from the cabin, via Line Springs Road, at the Metcalf Bottoms park entrance. From there, you can navigate easily to Gatlinburg or Cades Cove. You have access to all the area attractions while in a peaceful, private and serene setting.

See our cancellation policy for full refund/timeframe details. We do strongly encourage you to consider purchasing travel insurance, to assist you in unforeseen circumstances, and to protect your vacation investment. Please note: general travel insurance does not always cover all situations, including Covid-19. You can find “CFAR” policies (Cancel For Any Reason), which can be added onto most any travel insurance policy. There are several options and you can most surely find one that fits your needs and budget. Simply search google for “CFAR travel insurance” and you will find several websites and policy options available to you. You are sure to find one that fits your needs. **THE CONTENT ABOVE IS PROVIDED BY THE OWNER/MANAGER.

Majestic Views

We took a family spring break trip to the Smokies and stayed at”A Step Above” cabin. Great location out of the hustle of Pigeon Forge with a scenic drive back to Wears Valley. Cabin is stunning and well kept. Michelle (the owner) was super and the views…..just magnetic. Make sure you have 4 wheel drive or mountain drive capability because it’s a steep climb up but it’s worth that view.

Relaxation Perfection!!

This cabin is absolutely amazing. The pictures of the cabin are 100% accurate of the beauty of this place. Michelle has thought of EVERY thing you could possibly need for an enjoyable relaxing vacation. From the comfy beds, to the oversized towels, to the WELL stocked kitchen we just needed to bring ourselves!!! The cabin is decorated super cute and it is very clean. The views from either porch are stunning and the perfect place to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet. I promise you will not be disappointed if you stay here.

Wonderful Stay

The cabin made the perfect "base camp" for us as we enjoyed numerous hikes in the GSMNP. It was well-equipped, clean, and exactly as represented in the pictures (if not better!). The location was great for avoiding the hustle and bustle of downtown Gatlinburg and for easily accessing the park. Spacious and comfortable, with all the amenities, including new, very nice appliances. We would love to come again. Michelle was easy to work with and responsive to our questions. We wouldn't change a thing!

Steep incline, but very nice property

- probably the nicest cabin we've rented - not a huge fan of the TV apps (just wish people provided DirecTV), but that seems to be the way it goes in all rentals - steep incline up to the cabin, but the roads are paved. In the event of ice/snow, you shouldn't try to drive. - GPS is slightly inaccurate; follow the owner's directions

AMAZING!!!! Book this house now!

I planned this vacation just a few weeks out and I was debating locations since I knew nothing of the area. I have to tell you, this is the most amazing property in the area! I passed several I had seen on VRBO while away on our trip and I was so very thankful I picked "A Step Above". The owner was so kind and helpful from my first inquiry to after we left when I thought I had left something behind. This house has serenity views in the morning to spectacular sunsets in the evening. It is a true escape away from the busyness and tourist things in Gatlingburg and Pigeon Forge but close to enjoy if you are looking for that. We were looking for a relaxing vacation with our 17 and 20 year old. We all had nightly pool games. We had full intentions to go out to dinner each night. However, this kitchen has everything you need and we didn't want to leave this oasis after our adventures. It didn't even feel like a chore to cook. The host thought of every single detail! Things I would never even think about; down to things as simple as nightlights that dimmed and brighter when you walked into the bathroom. This home is so tastefully decorated and cared for...a beautiful property! Don't hesitate with reserving this home! It took us just minutes to go into the back side of the Smoky Mountains and saw a bear within 10 mins. We were so close to Laurel Falls and many cool sites. It gives access to all day activities and peace to go back to "home". We can not wait to go back!

Beautiful Retreat

We were there for five nights and I wish we had longer just to spend time in the cabin. The views are amazing and peaceful. We loved the fire pit and the hot tub. There’s definitely not a lack of things to do in the cabin if you want to have a quiet retreat staying home. We left every day to go sightseeing and hiking but wish we could’ve spent more time at the cabin.The cabin was spotless and well stocked with everything that a guest would need. We’ve stayed in VRBOs all over the country and this has been one of my favorites.
