Situated in the Glades area of Gatlinburg, this pet-friendly 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom ranch-style cabin offers the convenience and comforts of home, while still offering the beauty of the Smoky Mountains!

Spread out in the yard for lawn games, sip coffee in the mornings while enjoying the mountain view, or cozy up by the fire on winter nights with a good book. When it’s time for bed, choose from a primary suite with a king bed, a queen bedroom, or a bunk room with 2 sets of bunk beds. A handy sleeper sofa in the game room rounds out the sleeping arrangements. The full kitchen helps make cooking easy, allowing for family dinners after a long day of hiking or pancake breakfasts before visiting local attractions in Gatlinburg. 



Amenities at Big Oak Hideaway include a steamy outdoor hot tub - perfect for relaxing after hiking, a big screen TV, wireless internet, a foosball table, outdoor spaces, and a washer and dryer. You won’t want to miss this gem hidden in the picturesque Glades community!



Living Room

Upon entering your Big Oak Hideaway you are greeted by the star of the show in this room - the grand stone fireplace that spans the opposite wall. Relax in the loveseat or chairs with a friend and catch up with a hot cup of coffee and scones placed on the coffee table. Turn on the flatscreen TV and catch up on scores from the big game while waiting on the rest of the group to get ready for a day at Fort Fun. Warm up sitting in front of the fire on a cold morning or use the ceiling fan overhead to add a breeze on a warm afternoon. 



Game Room

Through the doorway adjacent to the primary living room, you find a second den and game room prime for relaxation and fun. A sofa and chair are ready to sink into while enjoying a long-overdue book. Pop some popcorn and prepare snacks to nibble on from the coffee table while having a movie night with the big screen TV. Draw up a tournament schedule for the foosball table found behind the sofa for all of your guests to enjoy. Break out the board games and card games and enjoy some healthy competition. Let the fan overhead create some airflow when the competition heats up. 



Kitchen

To the left of the front entrance is the open kitchen and dining area. Whether you plan to go out to eat for some BBQ at Calhoun’s or in a more romantic setting at Greenbrier, there is room in the fridge for leftovers and a microwave to heat it up. You might want a change of pace from your hectic life at home where everyone grabs food on the go. Slow down and prepare a nice meal to share using the fully equipped kitchen. Store groceries in the full-size fridge, cook a mouthwatering casserole in the oven, warm corn on the stove, use the counters for prepping the made-from-scratch bread, and clean everything up quickly after in the dishwasher. 



There is bartop seating for 3, where friends can chat while cooking - or it can be used for serving when the meal is hot and ready. Available to seat 6 with a stylish light fixture above, the table is conveniently located in the middle of the kitchen to make serving easy. This is also a great place to gather to play a game of Rook or Monopoly with everyone with all your snacks close by. Rise and shine to a breakfast of bacon and eggs and enjoy toast from the toaster and a hot cup of coffee from the adorable coffee bar. 



Bedrooms

After an adventure Rafting in the Smokies, crawling into a nice, warm bed is the perfect ending to your day. There are three bedrooms to choose from to rest and recuperate for the next day's outing to Ripley’s Believe it or Not. The bedrooms are cozy and inviting, offering 1 king-size bed, 1 queen-size bed, 2 twin bunk beds, plus 1 queen sleeper sofa in the living room. There are also 2 bathrooms that offer room for guests to get ready in the morning. Each includes a beautifully tiled bathtub, shower, and stone countertops.



There will be no fighting over the remote in the living area, because there are flatscreen TVs in each of the bedrooms so everyone can watch what they want as they wind down and drift off to sleep. If reading in bed is how you like to end your day, there are bedside tables and lamps to aid in this endeavor. Turn on the ceiling fan in each of the bedrooms and snuggle into the crisp sheets as you drift off. One of the bedrooms even has a fireplace to knock off the chill of a cold evening. 



Outdoor Amenities

Nestled on a hillside in the Smokies, this serene and private location is a delight to all of your senses. Watch the sun rise or set over the forest of trees as you sit in one of the chairs at the front or side of your Big Oak Hideaway. You can even spy Mt. LeConte from the property while playing in the yard with your fur babies. Depending on the time of year you visit, you might get to enjoy snow-capped mountains in the winter or the changing of the leaves in the fall. Anytime is the right time to vacation! 



After a day visiting the 55-acre aerial adventure park, Anakeesta, a dip in the steaming hot tub will help you relax and soak any sore muscles. Have a glass of award-winning wine from the Smoky Mountain Winery while winding down, enjoying the breathtaking view, and catching up with your friends and family. A beautiful community lake is only 100 feet from the end of the driveway if you want an excuse to take in more of the magnificent surroundings. 



Other Amenities

Big Oak Hideaway is pet friendly, so bring your fur babies along. You won’t have to pack as many clothes knowing you have a washer and dryer available for use during your stay.
