Picture this: you're sinking into the hot tub on the back deck, string lights overhead, trees on both sides, and the only sound is the occasional pop from the propane fire table around the corner. Inside, the double-sided fireplace is glowing through to the king bedroom. The kids are upstairs in the loft, lost in the arcade game. Tomorrow you'll drive 9 minutes into Pigeon Forge for pancakes, but tonight? Tonight belongs to the hot tub and the fireplace. That's Midnight Laurel.

I had an absolutely perfect solo stay at this cabin. It was everything I could have hoped for—peaceful, cozy, and beautifully maintained. The space was spotless and thoughtfully set up, making it easy to relax and feel completely at home. What really stood out was the owner. They were incredibly attentive and caring without ever being intrusive. Communication was quick and helpful, and it was clear they genuinely wanted to make sure I had the best experience possible. The quiet surroundings made it the ideal place to unwind and recharge. If you’re looking for a perfect solo getaway with a host who truly goes above and beyond, this cabin is it. I would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay! The host was extremely responsive both before and during our visit, answering all of our questions promptly. When we experienced a minor issue with the hot tub, it was addressed and resolved immediately, which we truly appreciated. The cabin was very welcoming, clean, and cozy—exactly as pictured online. The space felt private and peaceful, with beautiful surrounding scenery that made the stay even more enjoyable. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this host to others!

We loved this little cabin and wished we could have stayed longer, as we were just passing through. This was everything we wished for.... clean, comfortable, convenient. You can tell when a host is actually trying, and clearly Adrian and Malinda have put their heart into this home. We will return. Stay here, you won't regret it!

My friend and I stayed four nights in Adrian's cabin during our hiking visit to the Great Smoky Mountains National park. The cabin is close to all the attractions in Pigeon Forge and an easy 30 minute ride to the park visitor center. The hiking and drives through the park are amazing. We also enjoyed the ride to Sunday brunch in Knoxville. Adrian's cabin was a perfect spot to begin our day with coffee and breakfast on the covered porch and end our day soaking in the hot tub tucked into the private backyard corner of the porch. We prepared all our meals in the well stocked kitchen. The first floor King bed was firm and very comfortable. My friend slept in the loft bunk bed which she said was very comfortable. The cabin was immaculate with plenty of bath towels, hot tub towels and basic toiletries. I enjoyed the private soaking tub too! The cabin is in a nice vacation rental community with a stone patio overlooking a waterful just down the hill from the cabin. Adrian's a great host!
