And when you’re done for the day, come back to this 2-bedroom (plus a loft), 2-bathroom cabin for up to 10 guests. With 1,600 square feet of space, flat roads leading to a convenient flat driveway, a great yard (and your pet is invited, too!), the conveniences of home, and fun extras, Charlie’s Creek Retreat has you covered for a great getaway!

Start your days at this pet-friendly Pigeon Forge cabin sipping coffee or hot tea from the rocking chairs on the deck. Enjoy the serene wooded surroundings and the stream nearby as you gear up for a great day in the Smokies. Inside, make breakfast in the fully equipped kitchen, flip on the big screen TV and put a movie in the DVD player, or head to the rec room to play air hockey, foosball, and arcade games.

Back outside, play fetch with your dog in the yard, toss some burgers on the grill, and climb into the outdoor hot tub to soothe aching muscles. On cool mountain nights, curl up on the sofa in front of the fireplace with a cup of cocoa and chat with family and friends. More amenities include a washer/dryer and access to a community playground. Inside and out, Charlie’s Creek Retreat is outfitted with all you need to relax, spend quality time with family and friends, and have fun on a Smoky Mountain vacation. 

Located within Lone Branch Resort, Charlie’s Creek Retreat also offers access to a charcoal grill, picnic tables, a small playground, and a pet area with dog bags available.

Living Room
Before heading into town for some shopping or a dinner show, relax on the sofas and flip on the big screen TV. You can plan out the day’s adventures as you sip your coffee made in the kitchen or just watch some TV. And after you’ve spent the day riding roller coasters at Dollywood, grabbing deals at the Tanger Outlets, or playing around at The Island and TopJump, come back to your cozy living room to unwind. 

The living room offers a sofa, a loveseat, and a log bench with cushions for guests. Gather here to reconnect, flip on the reading lamps and break open a good book, or sip local wine with friends. High ceilings make the space feel open and let in more natural light on sunny mountain days. When it’s cool out, turn on the gas fireplace and cozy up. Enjoy a romantic evening as a couple once the kids go to bed, have a fun movie night with friends, or let the kids watch cartoons as you whip up breakfast in the morning.

Kitchen
Easily make a hearty mountain breakfast, pack a picnic lunch, bake cookies for movie night, or cook your go-to dish in the fully equipped kitchen. It has a dishwasher, double-door refrigerator/freezer, microwave, oven with stovetop, coffeemaker, dishes and glassware, utensils, and cooking tools. 

Stop by The Old Mill and pick some pancake or biscuit mixes to bake back at the cabin – the perfect start to a classic mountain morning! Cooking at the cabin is a great way to save some money on vacation, or you can just use the space to reheat leftovers or keep snacks and drinks on hand.

Dining Area
Next to the kitchen is the log dining table, perfect for family-style meals. It features chair and bench seating and space for about 4-6 guests, and other guests can spread out to the living room during mealtime. Gather here for meals together, set out a buffet of snacks, or use it for the pizza you’ve ordered. Or put the kids to bed early and have a romantic dinner in this charming spot.

After meals, clear the table to catch up on some work or have a family game night. Bring along your favorite board games or a deck of cards for fun in the cabin! The table is also the perfect place to catch up on some work or set up your homeschool station. 

Rec Loft
While there’s no shortage of fun in downtown Pigeon Forge, you’ll find plenty to do at the cabin too! Head upstairs to the rec loft to hang out and play, where you’ll have an arcade console and an air hockey table. Challenge someone to a game, get nostalgic, or show off your skills on the foosball table. 

Flip on the ceiling fan to stay cool or turn on the TV and watch a bit while you play. The rec room also serves as a bedroom, with 2 queen-size beds. It’s perfect for a kids’ sleepover! 

Bedrooms
A big day of hiking, horseback riding, shopping, and playing calls for a comfortable place to call home. Come back to Charlie’s Creek Retreat, where 2 lovely bedrooms await. Each of the bedrooms has a king-size bed, and there are 2 full bathrooms in the cabin. And for extra sleeping space, the loft offers 2 queen-size beds. 

Once you’re ready to call it a night, retreat to your bedroom and flip on the TV so you can fall asleep to a movie or show. Warm sleepers can flip on the ceiling fan to cool off, and the 2 convenient bathrooms will make it easy to get ready for dinner downtown. Head to bed early and curl up with a good book or some TV, get in an afternoon nap, or sleep late and enjoy the quiet of a mountain morning. 

Outdoor Spaces
Charlie’s Creek Retreat is an outdoor dream, surrounded by trees and boasting a lovely creek that runs through the property. And a bonus of this cabin – something hard to find in the mountains – is the large, grassy yard! Throw around a ball as the leaves change, spread out a blanket for a picnic at the cabin, or play fetch and have fun with your dog at this pet-friendly cabin. 

At night, gather around the fire pit to roast marshmallows for s’mores or chat about the day’s adventures. Kids can burn some energy running around in the yard, or you can enjoy a peaceful stroll around your private property. 

A wraparound deck offers a nice place for the afternoon, and it features rocking chairs, a table for drinks or outdoor meals, and a bubbling hot tub for tired muscles. There is also a charcoal grill for fun cookouts! Parking is easy, with a flat driveway, flat roads to the cabin, parking for 3-4 vehicles, and a flat (no steps) entry from the driveway to the deck. 

Other Amenities
One of the most popular amenities of Charlie’s Creek Retreat is that it’s pet-friendly! Instead of worrying about boarding, bring your dog for a great mountain escape. They can play in the yard, relax on a sun-soaked deck, or have treats as you snack together at the outdoor table.
