About
**Four Wheel Drive Access - ONLY** Big Bench High Cabin is the perfect rental for anyone looking for a peaceful, quiet, relaxing trip to the Smoky Mountains. This home borders National Forest Service land, and sits above 3,800 elevation! You will love the luxury hot tub overlooking the sunset on this deck - STUNNING. Or maybe you would rather watch it from "The Sundowner's Swing" overlooking the view. The custom-built cabin is quaint, but spacious for six people. You won't want to leave!!
Good to know
The interior of this custom-built cabin is rustic, neat, and beautiful. The cabin itself is roughly 1,200 square feet, but the space itself is very roomy and comfortable. And at 3,800 feet elevation, you'll hardly need A/C!
Other Details to Note
This home has a private gate at the entrance to the driveway. Renters can choose to leave the gate open while they are staying at the home, but are asked to shut it as they leave.

The pictures listed, and ones I've personally taken, do no justice to how beautiful it is in person. I felt so lucky to have those couple days of absolute PEACE. I didn't know how much I needed everything this home offered. This was our small honeymoon, and personally I can't think of anywhere else we could have gone that would have surpassed this home. out of the other homes I wish listed, I'm beyond happy I chose this one. if you're looking for peace and quiet, sense of safety and nature at its purest, don't skip out on this one.

The views were absolutely amazing! The pictures do not do it justice. Wish I could share the ones I took. Breathtaking!
If you are an outdoorsy person this is the perfect place. I honestly sat outside most of our stay. From sitting in the hot tub…to just chilling on the porch listening to all the sounds of nature…to taking a few strolls…so peaceful without any man made noise. Turkey and deer came through while we were there.
The house was comfortable and cozy.
Morgan answered any questions we had promptly. We had a wonderful time and are planning our next trip back!

Those were great 3 days that we spent with my wife in this cabin. The cabin is the best place to hide from the whole world. No neighbors within a couple of miles, stunning views especially early in the morning and at the sunset. From my personal experience: it might be the first time when the object in reality is better than on the picture. Long story short, the cabin exceeded our expectations.
The host was extremely responsive and friendly - it was a great pleasure to communicate with her.
5 stars! Without a doubt!

My girlfriend and I stayed here for a weekend getaway. We loved the gorgeous view at sunset and the hot tub. We did have some issues with the water being off during our stay, but the owner was very responsive and accommodating. Driveway definitely does need 4x4. We would love to stay here again!

Perfect peaceful getaway. Views were amazing. Tucked away with no neighbors. Using the 4WD to the cabin was great. Very dark at night for perfect star gazing. Enjoyed our stay.

Our stay was amazing and we were sad to leave, it was exactly what we have always wanted in a cabin get away extremely private and super peaceful.
The photos do not do the views justice if you were thinking that looks like a good view it is an amazing view in person. Whether you are on the front porch looking out or take a walk around to the side, hot tub or even the swing the views are just breathtaking.
The whole cabin has been well maintained and super clean.
Durning our stay we planned on going into town to eat but once we got to the cabin we decided to go into town to get more food to make at the cabin and enjoy every minute we had there.
We can not wait till our next fall vacation to book this cabin again.

One of the nicest places we’ve stayed. The views are great and it was a very relaxing place to unwind. Wish we had more time to spend a couple extra days. We spend a lot of our time offloading and rock crawling, so the driveway was no big deal for us. If you rent here, make sure you’re familiar with using low range in a four-wheel-drive vehicle so you don’t burn up your brakes. Everything was perfect except for the beds. If you like a very soft bed that you sink into you would be happy but for those like me who need good support, it was a no go. Master bed was so soft that you cannot sleep in it unless you’re a back sleeper and it literally felt like you’re sitting in a recliner laid back. We had to go sleep in the smaller bed on the other end of the house, and that too was a little soft but much better than the master bed. Otherwise, great to place. I will be back.

This home is a 4-Wheel Drive ONLY access property. If you do not have a 4WD vehicle, you will not make it to this home. The road is privately-maintained, and although there are nearly ten other property owners who have no issue making the drive daily, it can still be a tough haul. Other vacation rentals are on the road. It is steep and gravel, but absolutely worth the trek once you get to the view.
