Summary:
Welcome home to Second Fiddle, a cozy cabin in Sky Harbor made for winter nights in. Mornings start with coffee on the screened porch. Days are for Dollywood's Smoky Mountain Christmas, the Winterfest lights in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, or the national park. Nights end with a real wood fire, game night or a soak in the private hot tub. Close to the fun, tucked away from the bustle. Sleeps 9, with parking for trucks, trailers and 5+ vehicles.

The Space:
Holidays at Second Fiddle
From mid-November through the holiday season, Second Fiddle is all dressed up in Hallmark-movie Christmas style, inside and out on the decks. We'll have hot chocolate waiting for you, so grab a mug, settle in by the fire and let the season do its thing. It's our favorite time of year up here, and we hope it becomes yours too.

Second Fiddle is made for a cozy Smoky Mountain winter. Enjoy a hot cup of cider and the crisp mountain air from the multiple outdoor areas, then snuggle up in front of one of two real wood fireplaces.
If you long to be surrounded by the woods, but within close proximity to dining and fun - this is the place for you.

The space

Inside, you'll see warm wood finishes, soaring ceilings, large windows, and a stone fireplace which create the calm mountain atmosphere you came for. The open living, dining, and kitchen area gives everyone room to be together—whether you're cooking breakfast before a day in the national park or settling in for an unhurried evening at home; this cabin is a place to gather.

Outdoor Space:
After a day at Dollywood, hiking in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, or exploring Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, come home and slow things down.
Step onto the multi-level decks, breathe in the mountain air, and settle into the private hot tub as evening falls. On cooler nights, gather around fireplace and enjoy having nowhere else to be.
A little friendly competition
Downstairs, the game room gives kids—and grown-ups—room to play. Challenge each other to air hockey or foosball, revisit a favorite arcade game, or spread out for an old-fashioned family game night.
A second living area downstairs also gives larger families and groups a little extra room to relax without feeling crowded.
