This is a luxurious accommodation and as such we do ask families to self-select based on their willingness to supervise young children and hold teens accountable for following the house rules.
To protect your health and safety during your stay, we have expanded our cleaning and disinfecting protocol at each of our cabins. We really believe that staying at one of our mountain cabins can be one of the safest ways to travel and vacation as long as the proper measures are in place & consistent hygienic practices are observed by all.
We are thrilled to share this special cabin with if you are a responsible adult group or a responsible family who is willing to treat it as a home and not just another rental. The property is unique for so many reasons, but mostly because we (the owners) actually take care of all the details ourselves. This one of a kind 'modern-rustic' luxury cabin was designed based on all the feedback we have received from valued guests over the years. This cabin is different in so many ways. We even offer an optional nursery for an additional nominal fee so you don't have to bring all your baby gear!
The Flying Pig Lodge is one of a kind on the inside as well as the outside. This spacious 3 level cabin with five (5) king size bedrooms, a 6 bed (twin xl) bunk room, 5 bathrooms & 3 1/2 baths is conveniently located off Upper Middle Creek Rd just outside the city limits of Pigeon Forge (5 miles from Parkway) and just 10 minutes to the Arts & Crafts District of Gatlinburg also!
This cabin is very special and we require the main renter be 30 years of age and we reserve the right to rent to special groups of people who are willing to care for the property as if it were their own. Animals are not permitted. Unlike the typical rentals in the Smoky Mountains, we stock it with all the basics of home (but for large groups). Just bring your personal items and your food, and start your vacation!
This home is in bear country and is frequently visited by bears in the morning and evening! Bring your camera!
From the moment you drive up you will see the difference. Beginning with an oversized & flat parking area (plenty of room for 6 or 7 vehicles) and a large flat, grassy front and back yard, you will see that The Flying Pig Lodge has it all-Spectacular views from every angle, stacked stone, a 40 foot wall of windows overlooking Mount LeConte, gourmet kitchen, large living spaces and bedrooms and attention to detail around every single corner. With over 1500 sq ft of porches, the Flying Pig highlights the breathtaking Mount LeConte from all angles.
The bottom deck steps out to a flat, grassy back yard with a beautiful walk-out stone fire pit and cozy seating area overlooking the mountains. The bottom porch itself has a porch swing, 6 rockers, a bar top/barstools, benches, an 8 person hot tub with LED lighting & outdoor speakers. The top deck on the main level also has a covered porch with a 40 foot tall covered A Frame Porch, porch swing and 6 rockers. The best part of this deck is the shed roof (off the master bedroom) with a large wrap around timber bar top, 10 barstools (overlooking the mountain and the fire pit) a Weber gas grill & plenty of comfy patio seating. You will never want to leave this space!
The main entry-level boasts beautiful hardwood floors, a large entry mud room, high capacity washer/dryer, fully equipped gourmet kitchen with custom knotty hickory cabinets and a huge granite breakfast bar & counter that seats 7. There is a walk-in pantry and plenty of extra cabinets to store your food, a commercial gas cooktop with 6 burners, vented range hood, GE Profile appliances with full sized oven, Advantium convection/microwave, 2 full sized refrigerators & a warming drawer to accommodate large groups who enjoy cooking. Best of all if you like to spend time at the cabin cooking and communing, we provide pretty much everything you can think of to make this possible: All gourmet cookware including plenty of saucepans, saute, stock pots, steamers, baking dishes, bowls, pressure cooker, slow cooker, you name it and we probably provide it! (shoot the owner a message if you have questions about any one specific item).
The kitchen overlooks the dining area where there is a 12' long, custom black walnut live edge table with an epoxy river running through it that sits 10-14 people, depending on the people, with seating for an additional 7 right next to it at the massive kitchen counter. Next to that, the luxurious and cozy living room is equipped with a 65" ultra 4K TV & still maintains a rustic feel due to the hand hewn Eastern Red Cedar trees supporting the loft. If you like that rustic look, you'll love the 1/2 bath glass vessel sink that is perched atop a beautiful cedar log. They say the devil is in the details, but the details make this place a little slice of heaven.
Also on the main level is the kingsize master bedroom which opens up to the top deck patio area and overlooks Mount LeConte. The master bathroom, although not ADA certified, is handicap accessible with a large soaker tub, 11' walk in custom shower with hand jets, wall faucet and rain can faucet overhead, 10' ceilings throughout & comfort height toilet in a separate toilet room. The master bedroom is individually climate controlled, as are all the bedrooms to insure the comfort of all our guests.
We built the loft as another separate gathering space and it has a super peaceful vibe, also overlooking the mountain, the ravine & the front yard, depending where you look. Super comfy furniture, a 50" LED 4K TV, Gaming table with 5 seats, another barter with 4 barstools & an "honor library" make this area a unique getaway within a getaway. Also on the top level just off the loft are 2 large additional kingsized bedrooms & 2 full bathrooms (1 with a bathtub/shower & 1 custom tile walk in shower). All of these rooms are equipped with all the comforts of home-each with plenty of storage & room to spread out. At Mountain Grace Cabin Rentals, we do not believe it stuffing too many people into our living spaces and do not provide sleeper sofas (uncomfortable) in the main living spaces like many do. Our goal is to provide you with an exceptional luxury experience where you can be with your family and friends when you want to and have much needed space when you need it! You WILL NOT be falling all over each other at The Flying Pig Lodge!
The lower level has yet another living area with 10' with a 55" 4K Ultra TV overlooking the mountain and opening out to the spacious bottom decks of the cabin. The rec/living room has a pool table, foosball table, pub table, 8 barstools and a granite wet bar, along with another hookup for your outdoor speakers if you would like to enjoy music at the hot tub or fire pit.
Also on the lower level are 2 additional King bedrooms (1 opening up to the lower decks and hot tub) & the other with an OPTIONAL nursery room attached (small additional fee applies for this). There are 2 additional custom tile walk in showers, & a 6 bed bunkroom with an additional 1/2 bath with 2 vanities. The bunkroom is actually a highlight of the cabin and designed for people of ALL ages. Each bunk bed has a twin XL mattress, reading light, fan, cubby and shelving for personal items and individual charging stations as well as curtains for privacy.

The Flying Pig was the perfect choice for our extended family vacation! It was spacious and had all the amenities of home. Very well thought out and had all the little touches. The location was just enough out of the way but within a reasonable distance to most things, especially Dollywood! Chris, the owner, was super helpful, responsive, and accommodating. The breathtaking views will definitely be bringing us back!

This cabin did not disappoint! The attention to detail and décor far exceeds other rentals. From the amazing view, fire pit, and spacious deck, to the large bedrooms (all with their own bathroom), & bunk room that even adults marveled at (roomy, comfortable, private with curtains, cubbies, fans, charging units, etc...), this property had it all! As my husband can attest, I research and scrutinize every property before we decide to book and this cabin exceeded even my expectations! We also loved the close proximity to Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg using back roads instead of the main route, as well as not having to navigate steep hills and parking (which can be an issue at other properties in the smokies). While we wish we could have seen a bear during this trip as we know others had recently (literally our only complaint the entire time), everything about this property was pure luxury. Chris, thank you for the wonderful communication and hospitality. Customer service was top notch we hope to be back soon!

This was a wonderful stay. The house was clean and overly stocked. Coming from a very picky family, everything was top notch. We brought much less then we have on trips past based off of the description, and it was so nice to not have to go buy last minute kitchen items. Loved the two fridges for extra drinks. Bedrooms and bathrooms were very spacious and the main living areas were comfortable and fun. Outside was the selling point for us. We have kids that want to run around and teens that want to be by themselves. Everyone loved the porches and the furniture on them, along with the kids greatly enjoying the yard. Nights by the fire pit were great.
Easy access to all the fun stuff and groceries. Overall, a terrific stay! Thanks!!

We have the very best time this week! Our family of 16 so enjoyed this spacious cabin. It was absolutely beautiful & immaculate! Everything was so well organized and easy to use. The layout of the cabin was perfect for our group with all the king bed suites and the kids bunk room was perfect! We even saw a bear walking through the yard the very first morning! This will be our place to stay with our large group from now on! Chris and Donna were amazing as well! Such a good communication.

It’s beautiful, with all the necessary supplies. The fire pit was fun. Everyone enjoyed themselves. The only issue we had was that the previous renters damaged one of the AC units which left the upstairs bedrooms hot.
