Location: Pigeon Forge, East, Tennessee, USA (1/2 Mi. past Walden's Creek Stables) View Map
Accommodations: Log Home, 3 Bedrooms + Loft, 2 Baths (Sleeps 8)
If you crave a private haven for your family and friends, then Apple Dumpling is for you! This gorgeous log home, just minutes from the heart of Pigeon Forge, offers a true Smoky Mountain experience with nature all around you. Soak in the fresh mountain air from your hot tub on the deck, or relax in the indoor whirlpool tub. Enjoy the mountain scenery (with no other cabins in view) while grilling out on the deck.
A perfect cabin for families or couples. It has a large yard surrounded by mature pines and hardwoods, a regulation pool table, 3 satellite TVs(that also include the Knoxville channels), queen size beds in each bedroom and 2 twin beds in the loft.
Apple Dumpling is nestled on a ridge, above Walden's Creek, surrounded by forests and mountains that rise more than 1000 feet. It is far enough "out in the country" to hear the roosters crow and the Whip-poor-wills whistle, yet only minutes from the heart of Pigeon Forge.
Tastefully decorated with an American Apple "Pie"triotic touch...Apple Dumpling will have you dreaming about the Smokies for years to come!

Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2001
Why the Owner Chose Pigeon Forge
We've lived in New York, Arkansas, California, Florida and Indiana, and have traveled extensively - including more than 50 trips to the Smokies. We agree with Dolly - there's no place like our Tennessee mountain home.
When we purchased Apple Dumpling, we looked at nearly 50 cabins, new and not-so-new, from Cobbly Nob and Ski Mountain to Sky Harbor and Wears Valley. However, with Apple Dumpling, it was love at first sight. We loved the unspoiled mountains surrounding Walden's Creek; the privacy of Apple Dumpling Ridge; and the simple beauty of Apple Dumpling cabin. Apple Dumpling is our home away from home and we visit it 5-6 times each year. No matter what the season, the mountains are always beautiful and there are always more things to do than there is time to do them.
The Unique Benefits at this Log Home
Nearly every guest that we've had has written very nice comments in our guest book, and everyone seems to mention different things that were special to them. Everyone loves the location, surrounding natural beauty, and privacy. The hot tub, pool table, table games, DVD's, etc., make for great family experiences.
