A secluded cabin in the woods sounds like a fantastic place to just relax, unwind, and get away from it all. Exterior looks aren’t really a priority when it comes to isolated and quiet living; it’s the inside that counts.

This beautiful cabin at the base of the Great Smoky Mountains offers one surprise after another. Just by looking at the outside, you’d never guess how many treasures are hidden within.

Located in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, the rustic cabin boasts one bedroom and 1.5 bathrooms and has an incredible view of Mount Le Conte.

The home’s elevated position on the hillside provides excellent panoramic views of the surrounding nature.

Imagine gazing out at the trees while they’re changing colors in the fall, covered in snow during the winter, or coming back to life in the spring.

Open the front door and enter the home’s great room. The gorgeous woodwork throughout the house truly gives it its ‘cabin’ feel.

The living space is large and perfect for entertaining guests. The fireplace is located in the corner of the room to keep you warm whether you’re relaxing on the sofa, cooking dinner in the kitchen, or enjoying a nice meal at the dining table.

Another view into the great room showcase just how tall the vaulted ceilings are — notice the large window that illuminates the room with natural light.

Furniture in the cabin was kept simple, modest, and cozy. The open floor plan flows directly from the living room, into the dining space, and directly into the kitchen.

The incredibly spacious kitchen is great for parties and get-togethers.

The fully-functioning kitchen features black appliances that contrast the light wood of the floors and cabinetry. There is a full-size fridge, stovetop range, oven, microwave, large sink, and a dishwasher — because who wants to do dishes after cooking a large meal?

Just past the kitchen, you’ll find one of the cabin’s many recreational features — a pool table and entertainment room.

Throw on a sports game or have a friendly wager with friends while you play billiards. What a perfect way to spend a vacation or weekend away.

Upstairs, you’ll find the master loft. From here, you have another breathtaking view from the large window in the great room.

An antique four-post bed fits in with the cabin’s charming and rustic theme. Grab a glass of wine and soak in the loft’s jacuzzi tub with views of Mt. LeConte.

Talk about the show-stopping feature of the house; the indoor heated pool is great for soaking your bones no matter what time of year or season.

After a quick swim in the pool, why not warm up in the cabin’s hot tub? It is located on one of the two decks of the home.
