Smoky Mountain Station

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Welcome, and all aboard the Smoky Mountain Station - Pigeon Forge's first "Traincation" lodging choice! Inside this authentic circa-1916 CSX caboose, train enthusiasts will discover an original railroad-charm-meets-luxury mountain retreat. Greeted by your very own ticket booth, you will climb aboard your very own "Traincation" retreat! The caboose is seamlessly connected to a replica Euro-inspired train depot that houses the main suite, which features a hand-carved bed, dual closets, a smart TV, and direct access to a spa deck. The home is located in the heart of Pigeon Forge, within one mile of Dollywood, two blocks from a mountain coaster, and within a mile and a half of top attractions such as Dolly's Stampede, the Island Pigeon Forge, and the Old Mill District. And yes, you can hear Dolly's Steam Engine Whistle from the Smoky Mountain Station! How nostalgic!

The caboose interior is where you can enjoy a cozy den designed with industrial-inspired furniture, an electric fireplace, and a smart TV. An open floor plan takes you into a well-equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, custom hickory cabinets, and granite countertops. A striking cupola opens to a vaulted ceiling and allows the natural mountain light to flood the kitchen. Every square inch has been professionally designed with love and purpose!

For young (and young-at-heart) train lovers, the caboose has a second private bedroom with handmade bunk beds, and a sound machine that plays optional railway sounds to create that perfect railroad ambience! The caboose has one bathroom designed for the luxury traveler. A locally sourced river stone and slate shower with Delta fixtures and a craftsman-made, solid-poplar vanity adorned with a vintage mirror create the perfect space to prepare for your next adventure in the Smokies!

The Smoky Mountain Station fosters outdoor living for guests with a piping hot spa and a roaring firepit with Adirondack seating to enjoy after a long day of exploring. All of this can be enjoyed under the warm glow of garden lights. The Station also encourages photo ops in and around the train! You'll spot natural boulders and lush evergreens scattered throughout the landscape. The caboose's porches are the perfect spot for photoshoots.

A paper goods starter kit, fresh linens/towels, and soap are included.

The owners spared no expense creating this incredible and unique property for the Smoky Mountains to share. From the flickering depot cupolas to the authentic touches throughout the property, adventure seekers and train lovers alike will discover priceless memories at The Smoky Mountain Station.

Loved it!
My son loved this rental! It was very clean and close to all the fun. I had researched this property quite a bit before deciding and there were a few reviews that had me worried. However, once we arrived, I could tell that the owners really listen and take action in regards to feedback. Here are a couple improvements that I can see were made after past reviews. The French doors that lead to the hot tub have 3 locks- one dead bolt and a sliding lock at the top of each door. The door leading outside from the kids room has a deadbolt and a chain lock located at the top, out of reach of tiny people so there's no daring toddler escapes. A few reviews mentioned lack of privacy around the hot tub/backyard, but there are now privacy curtains around the hot tub as well as slat work around the fire pit. Another review mentioned that others went to the property thinking it was an attraction. We noticed people admiring it, but nobody walked up or approached us. I suspect it is because there is now a wooden sign and a very visible sign on the front deck that both say vacation rental. Now, I will say that the property is close to a road. We went in knowing that street sounds would be inevitable and decided the convenience was worth it. Sound machines are provided in both rooms which kept us from really noticing the street noise when sleeping. All in all we loved it and I appreciated seeing how much thought and attention goes into maintaining this property. My son is already talking about going back.

The Cutest Caboose Around
We absolutely loved staying in this little caboose! The perfect size for my family of four. We loved everything about it! The decorations were perfect, the hot tub was a hit and the coziness was just amazing! We will definitely be staying again! Thank you so much for such a magical little place!

Super neat exterior, normal on the inside
It was ok. The outside makes it look super interesting however inside you do not get that old caboose feel. It’s been completely refinished and updated and doesn’t feel like a train car in the inside. It was very nice though.

All Aboard for Weekend FUN!!
Love the whole entire concept! My grandson who loves trains was in HEAVEN! All the little details in the train and outside were absolutely perfect!!! If there was a negative it would be that the back area isn’t completely fenced in. When you have small kids close to that busy road it’s dangerous BUT the train, the cleanliness, accessibility and easy check in/out was on point!!! WAY TO GO!!!
