Designer Family Cabin Mins to Dollywood: Kids Retreat + Game Loft + Hot Tub

THE WILD HUCKLEBERRY

The Wild Huckleberry is currently being thoughtfully reimagined into a warm, design-forward Smoky Mountain cabin created for families. The photos you see today show the home’s existing architecture and layout while the remodel is underway; the finished interiors, furnishings and custom kids spaces described below will be complete before our first Wild Huckleberry guests arrive.

Close enough to hear the Dollywood train whistle, yet tucked into a peaceful wooded setting, The Wild Huckleberry sleeps 8 across three bedrooms and was created to feel less like a themed vacation rental and more like the family mountain house you wish you had.

Spend the day at Dollywood, explore Pigeon Forge or head into the Great Smoky Mountains, then come home for hot-tub soaks, fireside evenings, arcade competitions, slow breakfasts and time together.

CLOSE TO THE FUN. TUCKED INTO THE WOODS.

One of the best things about The Wild Huckleberry is its location.

We’re close enough to Dollywood that you’ll hear the unmistakable whistle of the Dollywood Express from the cabin.

That kind of convenience matters with kids. Head out for rides in the morning, come home for lunch, naps or a little downtime, then head back out if everyone still has energy.

And when you’re home, you’re not looking out at the Parkway.

The cabin sits in a wooded setting that feels peaceful and tucked away while keeping you remarkably close to the attractions.

Close to the fun. Quiet enough to exhale.

A KIDS ROOM MADE FOR THEM

One of our favorite parts of The Wild Huckleberry is the kids room.

We didn’t want it to feel like a room where we simply squeezed in as many beds as possible. We wanted the kids to have a space that felt like it belonged to them.

The Huckleberry Kids Room sleeps four with:

3 built-in twin beds + 1 pull-out twin trundle

The room will include reading lights, book ledges, cozy bedding and playful details designed to make each sleeping space feel like its own little hideaway. With a TV all their own, movie nights take on a whole new life.

Think cousins whispering after bedtime, siblings choosing “their” bed the moment they arrive, and the kind of mountain sleepover that becomes part of the trip itself.

AND THEY GET THEIR OWN LOFT

The kids room isn’t the game room. They get both.

Upstairs, the loft gives them another place to hang out with:

- Multi-game arcade
- Foosball
- Kids art space
- Reading nook
- Room to play and lounge

They can game, draw, read or play foosball while the grown-ups enjoy the quieter spaces downstairs.

Everyone gets to be together. Everyone also gets somewhere to go.

A MOUNTAIN CABIN THE GROWN-UPS LOVE, TOO

The heart of The Wild Huckleberry is the great room.

A stone fireplace anchors the space beneath a cathedral ceiling, while a wall of windows brings natural light into the cabin.

The remodel brings in natural pine, creamy neutrals, rich greens, vintage-inspired textiles and collected details designed to feel like a true mountain home rather than a themed rental.

Curl up by the fire after a long day. Settle in for a movie. Bring out the board games.

Or let the kids disappear upstairs while you actually finish your coffee.

KITCHEN + BREAKFAST NOOK + LARGE ISLAND WITH SEATING

The kitchen is being refreshed with family stays in mind, from pancake mornings before Dollywood and trail snacks to easy dinners at home.

Just beyond it, the breakfast nook is one of those little spaces we hope becomes part of the memory of staying here: morning coffee, cereal with sleepy kids, card games after dinner and slow mornings when no one needs to rush.

WHERE YOU’LL SLEEP

Primary Bedroom
King bed

Upstairs Bedroom
Queen bed

Huckleberry Kids Room
3 built-in twin beds + 1 twin trundle

Maximum occupancy: 8 guests

No one needs to sleep in the living room. That’s intentional.

TWO FULL BATHROOMS

The cabin has two full bathrooms. We’re keeping their existing layouts and giving both thoughtful cosmetic updates with refreshed lighting, mirrors, trim and styling.

Comfortable, functional and made to work well for a family stay.

HOT TUB + FIRE PIT + OUTDOOR TIME

After Dollywood, a day in Pigeon Forge or an afternoon exploring the Smokies, come home and sink into the private hot tub surrounded by the wooded setting. Unwind while you roast some s'mores around the campfire together, curled up in blankets in wooden adirondack chairs while you swap stories of the day and build memories.

The large deck gives you space for morning coffee, fresh mountain air and a quieter end to the day.

MADE FOR FAMILIES

The Wild Huckleberry is more than “family friendly.”

We’re designing it around the way families actually travel:

big adventure days, tired kids, easy meals, a little noise, a little quiet, time together and a little room apart.

You’ll find beds made specifically for the kids, a loft where they can play, a place to make art, books to curl up with, games to challenge each other to...and spaces where the adults can relax too.

The Wild Huckleberry is our own family mountain home, and we hope it feels that way when you’re here.

ABOUT THE CURRENT PHOTOS

Because we’re accepting reservations while the transformation is underway, we want to be completely transparent.

The current photography shows the home’s actual architecture, layout and outdoor spaces. Before our first Wild Huckleberry guests arrive, the interiors will be refreshed with new paint, lighting, furnishings, textiles and styling, including the built-in kids room described above.

The bathrooms are receiving cosmetic updates only; their layouts remain unchanged. The existing deck, hot tub and fire pit remain part of the property.

New professional photography will be added as soon as the transformation is complete.

You’re seeing the bones today. You’ll be staying in the finished Wild Huckleberry.

WELCOME TO THE WILD HUCKLEBERRY

Come because Dollywood is practically in your backyard.

Come because the kids are going to race upstairs to choose their beds.

Come because they have an intentional loft waiting for them.

Come because there’s a hot tub and fire pit at the end of a long park day.

Come for the quiet coffee in a rocking chair on the front deck surrounded by nature and birdsong.

And come because you want the place you stay to feel like part of the vacation.

The Wild Huckleberry is a family mountain home made for big Smoky Mountain days, cozy nights in and the kind of memories you’ll want to come back to.
