Welcome to The Smoky Edit
Relax. Unplug. Reconnect.
We spent the last year transforming this 2,800-square-foot cabin into a mountain retreat that honors its Smoky Mountain roots while feeling like a true contemporary escape. This guide has everything you need for a smooth, memorable stay. Bookmark this page or add it to your home screen so it's on hand all weekend long.
Everything you need at a glance — the rest of the guide is below.
No lockboxes, no waiting around — just let yourself in.
Park in the driveway. There are 3 parking spaces at the cabin — please avoid blocking the road or neighboring driveways.
Head to the front door and unlock the Schlage keypad lock by entering the last four digits of the phone number used for your reservation, followed by the key/checkmark button. Your code is active beginning at check-in and through checkout on your departure day.
Connect to Wi-Fi — network TheSmokyEdit, password 934VixenRun — and make yourself at home.
Take a lap. Get a feel for the beauty, serenity, and memory-making spaces available to you, inside and out.
Questions or an issue at arrival? Text or call your host, Joy, at (214) 914-7837 — we're quick to respond.
A tour of the cabin and the details that make each space work.
New leather sofa and modern recliners around a 75" TV on a motorized mount that adjusts to the perfect viewing angle from anywhere in the room. Luxury vinyl plank flooring and refreshed lighting run throughout the main level.
A fully updated galley kitchen with new stainless steel appliances, granite counters, a coffee bar, and dinnerware and cookware for a full group. The handmade wood dining table comfortably seats 8 for family dinners.
Hanging chairs and a coffee bar look out toward the peaks of Mt. LeConte — an unforgettable spot for a quiet morning coffee. Step out onto the loft deck with modern Polywood Adirondack chairs, perfect for sipping wine at dusk or coffee as the sun rises behind the mountain.
On one side of the bed, a desk sits along a picture-frame window with breathtaking mountain views — as inspiring for remote work as it is relaxing. On the other, a private sitting area of its own — a quiet spot with the same mountain view for easing into the morning, reading, or winding down at night. The renovated bath features a walk-in shower, new vanity, and updated lighting.
An 85" TV with a Nintendo Switch 2, luxurious bean bag seating, and a pool table make the game room the hub for movie nights, friendly competition, big games and rainy afternoons. The lower-level retreat features a queen bed and log bunk, with French doors that open straight out to the fire pit and hot tub on the lower deck. All beds throughout the cabin have new frames, plush luxury mattresses, and premium bedding.
A private hot tub and fire pit area on the lower deck, a gas grill ready to go on the main-level deck, and Polywood chairs, gliders, and rockers round out the outdoor seating. Freshly stained decks and tension-wire railing keep the mountain views unobstructed.
A quick guide to the cabin's favorite features.
Each TV is set up with the common streaming apps. Log in to your favorites and pick up right where you left off on your shows. Please log out when you leave.
The TV is mounted on a state-of-the-art motorized mount that lowers to a comfortable viewing angle while watching and raises above the mantel when not in use. The small black remote has two pre-programmed buttons: M1 raises the TV to the top position, M2 lowers it to viewing position. You can also control it manually with the arrow buttons — just be sure it isn't lowered into contact with the mantel. The white remote controls the TV itself: click any button to bring up the navigation tiles, click Watch TV, then choose the app you'd like to sign into. No need to sign out of this one — you're automatically logged out at checkout.
To get to the Switch 2, use the TV remote to change the input to the HDMI port it's plugged into. To get back to the big game, movie, or streaming app, just switch back to the correct input.
No adjustment needed — the temperature is already set, and the jets turn on and off automatically as they sense someone get in or out.
Push the main control dial inward and rotate it to activate the internal battery-operated spark, then adjust the flame to your liking.
Turn the gas control knob with one hand while pressing and holding the separate igniter button with the other to strike the spark.
We've poured a lot into this cabin and use it for our family retreats, so please treat it with care.
Check-out is 11:00 AM. A few quick steps and you're on your way.
Load and start the dishwasher.
Turn off the hot tub jets, fireplace, and all lights.
Set the thermostat back to 65°F in winter, or 78°F in summer.
Gather any belongings, lock up, and pull the door shut behind you — the Schlage lock secures itself automatically.
Strip sheets from used beds and leave them on the bathroom floor along with the towels and washcloths.
Close to the action, far enough removed in nature to give you the best of both worlds.
Tip: the Greenbrier entrance to the national park is a quieter, less-trafficked way in, winding along the Little Pigeon River to some of the best hiking in the Smokies.
A few favorites well outside the tourist traffic.
For any medical, fire, or safety emergency, call 911 immediately.
