The reason for the name
A Smoky Mountain Cabin with a Private Fishing Pond
The Fishing Hole is a 2-bedroom, 2-bath cabin in Sevierville, Tennessee with a private catch-and-release fishing pond right outside the door.
Steps from your door
No boat launch. No crowded riverbank.
Catch & releaseBring your rods & bait
Walk off the porch with your rod, cast a line, and settle onto the bench at the water’s edge. The pond is private to the resort and strictly catch-and-release, so it stays healthy for every guest who visits after you.
Coffee at sunrise while your line sits in the water. Kids catching their first fish twenty feet from the kitchen. This is the part of the stay guests talk about in reviews, and no hotel in Pigeon Forge can copy it.
What to Bring for Fishing at the Cabin
Bring your own rods, reels, and bait, and you are set. If you forget something, bait and tackle shops in Sevierville are a short drive away. Pack for the season: light gear is plenty for the pond, and waders are only worth bringing if you plan to hit the trout streams in the national park.
Fishing Near Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg
The pond is your home base, but East Tennessee is serious fishing country. Within an easy drive of the cabin you can fish:
- Little Pigeon River — runs right through Sevierville, minutes from the cabin
- Douglas Lake — a large TVA reservoir known for bass and crappie fishing
- Great Smoky Mountains National Park — hundreds of miles of wild trout streams; a Tennessee or North Carolina fishing license covers park waters
Sleep 6, Unwind After a Day on the Water
The cabin sleeps 6 across 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths, with a fully equipped kitchen, linens and towels, free WiFi, and flat-screen TVs in every room. When the lines are put away, the evening is its own event: soak in the hot tub, light the gas fireplace, grill dinner on the charcoal grill, and finish the night with marshmallows around the fire pit.
