    Cabin was clean and comfortable. We needed a cabin that had a bedroom downstairs. We enjoyed sitting on back in the swing, after a day full of outings. The cabin had everything we needed to cook. We Would recommend and love to return!!!!

    This is the second time that we have stayed in Higher Ground and hope to stay again the next time we visit. The cabin has everything you could want for a wonderful stay. It is super clean, private yet centrally located in Wear Valley. Beautifully decorated, big porches to enjoy the mountain air. Thanks to the management staff for offering this clean beautiful cabin.

    Beautiful cabin, plenty of room for 2 couples. Loved sitting on the porch swing and rocking chairs on the deck after a long day hiking. Very steep driveway, but else was wonderful.

    This is a super nice cabin and in a perfect place. It also has everything you need for your stay. We stayed 5 days and enjoyed every minute if it .Will be back soon.
  • - 8/1/2021

    Loved this cozy cabin! Only thing I would change is we would have loved a patio table on the deck to eat our meals at. Morning coffee on the porch swing listening to the birds is a great way to start the morning!
  • - 7/24/2021

    Great cabin. Clean and relaxing. I love the set up. The beds were comfortable. Perfect for my family.
  • - 7/10/2021

    Our stay was very enjoyable with many great amenities. Check-in and check-out processes we're super smooth. The kitchen was well-equipped. Cleanliness and upkeep were superb. Would be happy to stay here again.
  • - 7/10/2021

    Great
  • - 6/8/2021

    Great getaway spot to relax and enjoy nature. Didn't know how steep the climb was to the cabin, so we were a bit surprised. Directions are confusing because of the multiple wayfinding signs to "Ginseng Way".
    Management Response: Thank you for staying with us. The driveway is a little steep being in the mountains and all but very doable. We give step by step directions to the cabin and point out the Ginseng Way signs NOT to turn at so that you are getting to the cabin the quickest and easiest way.
  • - 6/3/2021

    We really liked the cabin. Worked very well for a family of 5 with 3 older girls. Spacious common area downstairs. The management responded quickly bringing a new replacement grill grate when I notified them that the grill grate was rusty.
  • - 5/21/2021

    Great location, well supplied the cabin with towels, kitchen equipment was great, air hockey, the provision of garbage bags was wonderful along with a number of other items such as the dishwasher soap provided, paper towels, and....
  • - 4/11/2021

    The cabin had plenty of space for us. The driveway is steep, but manageable in an SUV.
  • - 3/28/2021

    Very nice cabin
  • - 2/14/2021

    Wonderful cabin, thoroughly enjoyed the cabin and its amenities. Only other thing is I wish it would have had an outdoor jacuzzi.
  • - 2/11/2021

    We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The cabin is clean, well equipped and very cozy. We enjoyed the fireplace, air hockey table and the jetted tub. We hope to come back in warmer weather to enjoy the porch. It was great as a couple’s weekend but it would also be great for a larger family or a few friends. It is close enough to the local amenities but also far enough away to not feel like you are on top of your neighbors. We hope to be back soon.
  • - 2/7/2021

    Beautiful cabin!
  • - 1/10/2021

    The absolute cleanest cabin we’ve ever stayed in!!!! It’s was homey & just the best ever!!!
  • - 11/14/2020

    We had a great time and the accommodations were lovely.
  • - 11/7/2020

    Once again, Smokey Cabins gains a FIVE STAR rating. Such a beautiful cabin fully appointed with everything you need. The have a coffeemaker and a K Cup maker. The owner even stocked the house with hot chocolate, peppermints and marshmallows. We loved sitting on the back porch swing! They even had two recliners, one for each of us. Don't miss the little area in Wears Valley complete with a winery, cafe and great General Store. We picked up some great Christmas gifts! Great restaurants and even an IGA nearby. Get out and enjoy a country drive or hike. So many gorgeous areas. Only negative is the steep drive from the main road to the cabin. Just take it easy and you'll be fine.
  • - 10/26/2020

    Went on a mini getaway with the wife for the weekend. The cabin was great very clean and just as described. Would highly recommend for anybody looking to stay in the future
  • - 10/12/2020

    We loved the cabin. It was very clean, comfortable and decorated beautifully! We love the Pigeon Forge area and will definitely use your rental service again.
  • - 9/22/2020

    We stayed at Higher Ground for about a week and found it so comfortable and clean! Very homey feeling and loved the detail to the decorating for fall. Beds were very comfortable too which was very important to us. Would stay there again for sure.
  • - 8/13/2020

    Very nice cabin! We enjoyed our stay at Higher Ground. The decor is splendid, and we had fun playing checkers and air hockey in the game area. There is not much of a view due to foliage, but we enjoyed sitting on the porch swing and watching the squirrel who had made his home in a nearby tree. The drive is extremely steep, but the parking is adequate once you get up there. The only issue we had was that the shower door in the upstairs bathroom would not close. We notified management, but told them we could manage if they wanted to wait until we left to fix it. Hopefully they took care of that issue. I would definitely book this cabin again. Make sure to eat breakfast at Hillbilly's Restaurant if you are in this area!
  • - 8/12/2020

    Very clean, very comfortable!
  • - 8/3/2020

    Cabin was beautifully kept and decorated! Very peaceful location, wonderfully spacious, and close to several avenues of amenities and entertainment! Will definately recommend and will stay again!
  • - 7/24/2020

    What an absolutely awesome cabin! I don't want to tell you how great it is because it will be more difficult to get. It is so well maintained, comfortable, and inviting. It has everything you need for an awesome week. My girls and I spent every evening sitting on the back deck playing cards and sharing a bottle of wine from a local winery. You can't go wrong with Higher Ground.
  • - 7/13/2020

    The cabin was excellent and very nice. Would definitely stay in the cabin again! Love the area as it is the same place where we just sold our cabin.
  • - 6/29/2020

    Wonder cabin in a nice location. Clean with all the necessary creature comforts.
  • - 6/22/2020

  • - 5/29/2020

    We have been renting from Smoky Cabins about 10 years. We love all of the cabins we have stayed in. But Highter Ground is awesome awesome. It is our favorite by far. We also love how it is decorated. 2nd time staying in this cabin. Next year we will make it a 3rd time. Thank you for allowing us to rent your beautiful cabin for our 16th wedding anniversary. God Bless.

  • - 7/21/2019

    We immensely enjoyed this cabin. It was perfect for our family of 6. We had plenty of blankets, towels and a well stocked kitchen. The kids enjoyed the air hockey table. I enjoyed running in the quiet neighborhood. The handbook was so helpful for quick references! We were also thankful for all the dressers as we were able to unpack fully for our 7 day stay!
  • - 7/16/2019

    We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely cabin. All the comforts of home. Loved the electric recliner. Be aware the driveway is STEEP, and if you have a car low to the ground it will drag if you are not careful. But don't let that stop you from staying here.

    We love it! We will be back!!!

  • - 7/10/2018

    The higher ground cabin was perfect for our family. More than enough room for all of us, full kitchen & beautifully tucked away in the mountains. If you’re looking to ‘unplug’ this is perfect. We will definitely stay again.

    Very nice and clean cabin. We enjoyed our stay. It was very peaceful . Had everything thing you need. Will be renting again

    At this point I’ve lost count on how many times we’ve stayed with you but this was another great time. Cabin was fantastic. The only thing missing is a hot tub. See you again in September.
  • - 5/11/2018

    The cabin was awesome and beautifully decorated. We were very impressed. We usually try to stay in a different cabin each year. I believe we have been staying with Smoky Cabins for about 10 years. But my husband said he wouldn't mind staying in this cabin again. Wasn't too keen on the steep driveway, but the cabin made up for it. Have a great day.
  • - 2/15/2018

    Lovely cabin. Very neat and clean. Well decorated and very comfortable. Driveway is steep, but manageable without snow or ice. We loved it and we will return.

  • - 12/24/2017

    The cabin was very clean. Loved the downstairs decor a lot; very cozy and just what you'd expect in a mountain cabin. The upstairs could use updating, but it was very clean and comfortable.

    Very quiet, cozy, and beautiful cabin! We loved our stay here!
