If you are choosing between our two neighboring Gatlinburg cabins, start with the size of your group and the view you want to enjoy.
Choose Haus of the Rising Sun for up to 7 guests, more sleeping flexibility, two decks, and sunrise and valley views.
Choose Haus of the Setting Sun for up to 5 guests, a smaller-group layout, and sunset, ridgeline, and city-light views.
The cabins sit directly across the street from each other at Panorama Point above Ober Gatlinburg. They share the same steep, winding mountain approach, but each cabin has its own layout, kitchen, deck space, and private hot tub.

Choose Haus of the Rising Sun if you need more room
Rising Sun sleeps up to 7. Its two king suites give adults real bedrooms, while the upstairs twin nook and queen sleeper sofa add flexibility for children or additional guests. Two decks and a covered hot tub give the group more places to spread out.
On clear mornings, the cabin looks toward the sunrise and the valley below. Weather, fog, and seasonal foliage can change the view from day to day, which is part of staying high in the mountains.
Choose Haus of the Setting Sun for a smaller-group stay
Setting Sun sleeps up to 5 with two king suites and a twin sleeping nook. It works well for one or two couples or a smaller family that values the deck, hot tub, and evening view more than maximum sleeping capacity.
The cabin faces the sunset side of the ridge. On clear evenings, guests may see changing light over the mountains and city lights below. The deck also includes outdoor dining space for an unhurried evening at the cabin.
What both cabins share
- A mountaintop neighborhood above Ober Gatlinburg
- Paved but steep, narrow, and winding mountain roads
- Private hot tubs, full kitchens, grills, and mountain views
- Seasonal community-pool access; opening dates and availability can change
- Wildlife in the area and direct communication with our family
Drive times are not fixed. Traffic, weather, special events, road work, and parking can all change how long it takes to reach downtown Gatlinburg, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, or Pigeon Forge.
Know the mountain road before you book
The last part of the drive is steep, narrow, and winding. In normal dry conditions, guests commonly arrive in standard vehicles. Snow, ice, or freezing conditions may require all-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, tire chains, or a change in travel plans. If mountain driving is new to you, we suggest planning your first arrival during daylight and reading our mountain-road and weather guide before booking.
Booking both cabins
Because the cabins are directly across the street from each other, families or friends can stay close without sharing every room. Together they accommodate up to 12 guests, with separate living spaces, kitchens, decks, and hot tubs.
