Perched high at an elevation of 1,870 feet within the serene ridge line of the Great Smoky Mountains, Jackalopia is more than just a cabin—it is a sanctuary carved directly into the ancient rock and soil of Misty Hollow. Whether you are seeking a peaceful retreat or an adventure-filled escape, our three-level balcony design offers the perfect front-row seat to the daily spectacle of golden sunrises, shifting treetop canopies, and the mysterious, deep forest shadows of the Appalachian wilderness.
Inside, your stay is defined by true Smoky Mountain comfort. Unwind after a long day of exploring in our private hot tub, challenge your companions to a friendly competition in the game room, or gather under the starlit sky at our custom fire pit to trade stories and create new memories. Jackalopia’s prime location strikes the rare, perfect balance of seclusion: you are mere minutes away from the thrill of world-class hiking trails and the vibrant entertainment of downtown Gatlinburg, yet tucked far enough away to feel the true pulse of the forest.
While you are here, embrace the enchantment of our unique local folklore. From the elusive, mimicry-skilled jackalope said to roam these woods to the rhythmic drumming of the pileated woodpecker—the true inspiration behind the legendary Woody Woodpecker—every moment at Jackalopia invites you to connect with nature on a deeper level. Please keep in mind that we share this habitat with our local black bears; remember to stay "Fire Ban Aware" and respect our wildlife by keeping the forest litter-free and your doors secure.
Are you ready to escape into the Music of the Forest? Whether you are a wanderer, a dreamer, or a seeker of mountain magic, your story begins at Jackalopia. Book your stay today, step into the legend, and let the Smokies become the backdrop for your next great adventure. Your mountain retreat is waiting—come experience all the feels of Jackalopia for yourself.
