Sierra Bravo sits in the trees on a hill overlooking our quiet neighborhood. Enjoy mountain peak views from the loft and seasonal mountain views in the winter from the hot tub.
This charming space greets you right inside the front door. You will enjoy the natural light from the floor to ceiling windows that bring the outside in.
This is the place! Imagine relaxing with family and friends with a bowl of popcorn and movie on our 50" Roku television. Flip on the electric fireplace for ambiance and you will definitely feel cozy in the mountains.
Put the kids to bed and relax in this cozy bedroom in the trees. The main bedroom features a King size bed and another 50" Roku television.
The kids get their own space! Twin beds can be found in the open loft bedroom (no wall or door). The cabinet between them is full of board games for the kids and a couple things for the older crowd as well.
Plenty of room at this table for a family of six.
Feeling a little sore after your hike or from walking the Gatlinburg strip? The hot tub is where you can relax and unwind. Adventure and tranquility go hand-in-hand on your vacation at Sierra Bravo.
The kitchen is fully stocked with the essentials. We even left you a slow cooker for easy meals for the family. This table is also great for family game night!
The kitchen gives you all the convenience of home while on vacation.
How do you like your morning cup of coffee? We provide a starter set of K-Cups on your arrival - have a cup on us!
There are a couple ways to enjoy your morning coffee at Sierra Bravo - single-serve Keurig cup style or French press. Pair it with a treat from Donut Friar in Gatlinburg and who needs a coffee shop?
Sometimes work can't wait. We’ve provided a desk in the living room just in case you couldn't leave work at home.  The kids will also love to adventure with cuddly Oscar the bear, our cabin mascot.
Be sure to write about your adventures in our guestbook before you leave!
Listen to our custom Sierra Bravo playlist on this vintage-style Bluetooth speaker. What songs would you add?

The loft is open to the downstairs space giving everyone the same great views and making it easier to keep an eye on the kids.
Retreat to the Sierra Bravo main bedroom and close the door behind you. The comfortable King bed is waiting for you. Find rest here in the Smokies.
No need to get out of bed to turn off that light after a little late night reading.
Plenty of opportunities to charge up before heading out at Sierra Bravo. Charging stations are built into the alarm clocks in the main bedroom and upstairs.
The main bedroom has its own private entrance into the bathroom. No late-night stumbling around the cabin to find your way.
Throw some clothes in the car and go! We provide soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, makeup towels, and a starter pack of toilet paper.
The bathroom is generously sized and serves a family well. In the linen closet we've provided hangers for your clothes and even an iron and ironing board - though, we don't think the bears or the locals will mind the wrinkles.
Don’t worry about if you packed enough. You have a washer and dryer just off the kitchen.
Kids, we've got you covered! They will love having their own space. Complete with another 50" Roku television, a sitting area, Arcade machines, and board games - they may never want to leave!
Our loft bedroom guests will have a perfect view of the night sky through those windows. They’ll feel like they’re at camp!
We are always adding to our game collection. You can find something for everyone here.
We had family in mind when we designed this space. This is a perfect hang-out spot for the kids. Two arcade-style machines have 60 retro arcade games each - including Pac-man!
Do you remember these games from when you were a kid? Relive those days and see if you can get on the leader board.
No uncomfortable pull out bed here! We’ve upgraded our upstairs sofa sleeper to include an air mattress with coils for restful nights with no bar in your back. Everyone gets a comfy bed!
The upstairs loft is open to the downstairs.
This is the perfect place to relax in the evenings in the soft glow of the patio lights. Grab a bottle of local wine (or moonshine!) and enjoy the sounds of nature. You may even see a bear!
Sunrise or sunset? Both sound good from the front porch.
Keypad entry making it easy to check-in.
Sierra Bravo Floor Plan - Please note the upstairs loft (bedroom 2) is open to the downstairs (no wall, no door).
After an easy drive off the Parkway, Sierra Bravo Cabin welcomes you from the hillside of our quiet cul-de-sac.
Cute little cabin in the trees! Perfect for watching the leaves change color in the fall.
“Don't let the steep driveway scare you! You can always park at the bottom and walk up. We had no issues driving our Tahoe up the driveway.”
Beautiful fall color can be seen from the front porch. The mountain peak is just above the tree line and best seen in the winter or from the upstairs loft thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows.

This charming cabin sleeps 6. It is tastefully decorated and nestled in the trees for views of beautiful fall color. The second bedroom is an open loft overlooking the downstairs and was designed with families in mind. Sierra Bravo is close to everything the Smoky Mountains have to offer but tucked away just enough for relaxation.

The space:

+ 2 Bedrooms (1 Main + open Loft w/ no wall, no door)

+ 1 King (Main) and 2 Twins + sofa bed with air-over-coil mattress (Loft)

+ 1062 sqft

+ Board Games

+ Parking for 2 cars (maximum)

The cabin is located in a neighborhood and we have neighbors. However, the trees do give some privacy.

We offer many amenities at Sierra Bravo so be sure to check our amenities list. Housekeeping will leave a starter pack of things you may need. This includes:

• 2 rolls of toilet paper

• 2 bars of soap

• 1 roll of paper towels

• dish soap

• 2 dishwasher detergents

• trash bags

• starter Keurig K-Cups

* You may want to purchase more of these items for the duration of your stay.

Guest access

You will receive your door code before you arrive. The whole cabin is yours for your stay.

Other things to note:

→ The 2nd bedroom is a loft open to the downstairs. No wall, no door. See photos.

→ Guests will be required to sign a rental agreement upon booking confirmation.

→ Our driveway is steep which is not uncommon for the area but we don't like surprises! Most of our guests drive right up to the parking pad and some choose to park at the end of the driveway (not long) - it all depends on their comfort level. XL vehicles may have some difficulty turning around to head back down. (If it is winter, we recommend a 4WD vehicle for driving in the Smokies no matter where you're staying.)

★ "No problems with it on our end, plenty of room to turn around, and up/down was fine even in rain. Certainly an option to park halfway or at the bottom and walk up what amounts to about a flight of stairs." ★

Property Suitability

Please review these important guidelines to ensure this property meets your needs and expectations.

Child friendly

While the cabin is not child-proofed, we think you'll find it is definitely suited for families. We've designed the space with our our own family in mind and our kids love it! Be sure to check out our digital guidebook for more information on safe rental essentials in the area for babies. It's a fantastic way to travel light with children. We do provide kid-friendly plates and utensils along with a high chair and several family games.
  • High chair

No events allowed

No smoking allowed

Smoking in the cabin will result in a $250 extra cleaning fee.

No Parking

There is enough parking space for 2 vehicles.

Our driveway is steep which is not uncommon for the area but we don't like surprises! Most of our guests drive right up to the parking pad and some choose to park at the end of the driveway - it all depends on their comfort level. XL vehicles may have some difficulty turning around to head back down. If you park at the end of the driveway (it’s not long) and walk up the incline, we’ve left a utility cart beside the cabin to assist you with your gear. If it is winter, we recommend a 4WD vehicle for driving in the Smokies no matter where you're staying.

Please do not block our neighbors' driveways or the fire hydrant.

English
I was born and raised in the city of Chicago - Sox fan not Cubs! After graduating from Purdue, I moved south to Memphis, TN.

After earning my degree in meteorology, I became a licensed aircraft dispatcher. I was always fascinated by aviation and weather. Now I'm fortunate enough to work in the airline industry with a job that I love.

I live just outside Memphis with my wife, Kelli, our two teenage sons.

We love to vacation with our boys especially to our little cabin in the Smoky Mountains. While we love a good vacation, we are also homebodies. We enjoy a night in with popcorn and a movie as a family and can often be found hanging around our table with a great playlist, good food, and friends.

We aim to make our place feel like your home and to help you make lasting memories with your family. Please know that we're always just a phone call or text away. We look forward to hosting you!

Location

Sierra Bravo is lower on the mountain and an easy drive just a bit off the convenient main parkway.

Getting around

Car is the best way to get around but the Gatlinburg trolley is nice, too. You can skip parking in busy downtown and, instead, park and ride the trolley from City Hall.

If you’re coming in the winter, we always recommend 4WD no matter where you’re going or staying in the area - you’re in the mountains after all! Gatlinburg averages around 9 inches of snow a year mostly in January and February but can’t be ruled out anytime during the season.

Check the Great Smoky Mountain National Park Service for current conditions and alerts before heading into the park.

Cell service can be spotty to non-existent in the mountains. Screenshot and save maps and directions to your phones before heading out.

Keep in mind: Mountain roads wind around, climb, drop off, and need time to navigate. Plan on drives taking longer than expected and enjoy the slower pace.
