We invite you to enjoy a unique vacation home. Make sure to visit our website link below to see even more about our place.
One of our most COMMON question we have is... Are we hard to get to during bad weather? The answer is NO. We are on a level driveway and on a level lot, easy to get to. We are just right off the 321 Hwy. So if you don't have a four wheel drive you are just fine!
The cabin has a fishing theme with hand painted murals with all updated appliances. A great place to get away, or a cozy place to reunite. There is a wide mountain stream behind the cabin that beckons you to kick your shoes off, jump in, skip rocks, search for minnows and crawdads - just be a kid again.
Our place is located right on Dudley Creek! And we just added a "water bench" to sit and put your feet in the cool mountain creek!
There is trolley service just a few hundred feet away from the cabin so you don't have to worry about parking or getting to any of the areas attractions. Two of Gatlinburg's finest restaurants are within a 1/2 mile; since you are only 1.3 miles from the center of Gatlinburg.
You can walk by sidewalk to all the shows, attractions, shopping, or eating establishments that Gatlinburg has to offer.
Solace with convenience. There is only one cabin to pass before you get to our cabin(you are not jammed up in a "development"). Our property is situated next to a residence with a 6 acre tract. Behind your vacation home there is nothing between you and the creek but a level grassy yard.
A very peaceful place to be. Across the creek is nothing but mountains and wilderness to look at with no housing in sight.
Wildlife. So far we have seen families of ducks, deer, chipmunks, squirrels, rabbits, and lots of wild birds plus the creek is like your own personal outdoor aquarium.
To protect your experience we enforce a nonsmoking policy. We want our next customer's visit to be just as pleasant and special as yours.

Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes, Stoplight 3
In the Winter of 2007 we were contacted about this cabin in Gatlinburg by a realtor friend. He told us what a great deal this site was with real space for parking and actual ownership of a beautiful creek. The obvious question was what kind of shape was the home in. Well there again our friend tells us it has just been remodeled with new appliances paint and more! It seemed to good to be true. Let me tell you folks it was not! We three years later have updated the master bath to a large soaking tub and new tile. Other than that the photos you see on our site are the way the house was purchased.
Decor: We added some attractive furniture as the walls had beautiful murals, and wonderful colors already present. My partners wife is very artsy and has much of her pottery and art on the walls. Something interesting to check out, in the screened porch look down and the creative designed vinyl rug. Flip it over at the corner, it's actually, a scrap piece of vinyl flooring that has been hand painted on the BACK to create a unique and gorgeous room rug. There are many more examples of custom art in the cabin. (check out the coffee table, we didn't buy it like that).
We are basically are two families that live in the area that wanted a little get-a-way spot for our families. We decided to start renting the cabin through VRBO as a way to let the cabin earn it's keep. It is has been a great idea and a way for us to fill in the times we aren't using it. We don't want to wear the cabin out but simply choose families and seniors that will respect our property and enjoy the wildlife and privacy this great spot offers.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
What we do: When we go up to the cabin, even around Christmas, we walk with our kids down to breakfast at the Pancake Pantry, in downtown Gatlinburg. It is just about 1 mile and it has sidewalks all the way there. If you get tired and don't want to walk back, you can just catch the trolley. There is a trolley right across the street from the cabin! Another great place we go and eat is the Flapjacks restaurant just down the street. Sometimes during the winter we go up and spend the weekend and go skiing up at Ober Gatlinburg. If the snow is bad you have a no problem getting in and out of the cabin as it is not up the side of a mountain and the roads are so close in town that they are kept clear. You can always drive up to the tram and take the tram up to ski!
This is a great place to eat! We celebrated my wife's 40th birthday here. It's just a short distance from the cabin and a popular spot for dinner. Attire is casual and the quaintness scale is off the charts. You will really enjoy.
This is a good local pizza place. Our kids love to eat there. We walk from the cabin down there to eat.
This is the only "supermarket" in Gatlinburg. It is walking distance from the cabin, about .5 mile just up the road. This is a great place to buy doughnuts, or corn to feed the deer and ducks with.
This is one of the great pancake houses in Gatlinburg. Again we walk there by sidewalks. It has a great log cabin interior and the staff is great.
If you like quality food including GREAT crapes, this is the place for YOU. It is a multi times per year stopping spot that we walk to from the cabin. This is a little over a mile walk but worth it, and NO parking problems! Expect to stand in line but make sure you get a free cup of coffee while you wait. Still really worth it.

My family had a great time at this cabin. The house is clean and is nicer in person than it appears in the online photos. My 3 children had a great time playing in the creek and feeding the ducks. The ducks came to the backyard each morning and even showed up late one afternoon while we were grilling hamburgers. We were prepared with bread to feed them! The Nintendo 64 and flat screen TVs were also a big hit. We ate breakfast one morning at the Mountain Lodge Restaurant which is just down the street. It was delicious and not crowded; it appeared to be where the "locals" eat. We also recommend Best Italian Pizza (we ate at the original location). We also did some hiking in the National Park which is a short drive through downtown Gatlinburg. The kids had a great time playing miniature golf on the mountain side at Hill Billy Golf. The owner was quick to respond to my e-mails and phone calls. We would definitely recommend this cabin to friends and family!
Owner response:Thanks so much for you kind comments, Ali. You are right, photos just domt do justice to the decor our wives have done. We like you, enjoy the Mountain Lodge for breakfast. Our kids also really enjoy going up to the cabin and feeding those regulars, the ducks! We hope this is the first of many stays for you and your family at our creeksidegatlinburg cabin! See you soon!

We were able to stay for 6 nights in this wonderful cabin that is close to EVERYTHING. The owners were very prompt with answers to any questions, which is awesome since I managed to lock myself out. The ducks came to visit us as well. The furnishings are beautiful and the whole place feels like home. I would defenitely recommend this cabin and hope to return myself.
Owner response:Glad to hear of your stay! We feel that way when we stay as well... Perfect! Good to know those ducks are sticking to our "contract" with them! They always seem available for a visit. We have worked hard on the furnishings to make it a special place to stay. Thanks for your kind words about the decor. I look forward to you coming back soon, and don't worry, you aren't the first to lock yourself out nor the last, I bet! I am glad we could quickly get you back in! We always keep our cell phone on! See you soon!

We loved this cabin because it was close to town, nature, and very private. And you do not have to navigate the steep curvy mountain roads to get to it! GPS could not find the road, glad the owners gave great directions. The cabin was very clean and neat, kitchen was very well equipped. Loved the pottery, colors, and art throughout the cabin. My little boy was fascinated by feeding the ducks in the creek. We loved watching from the deck as a buck and 4 doe ate their breakfast. Owners are very nice to work with and returned calls promptly. We are hoping for a return stay in the spring/summer!
Owner response:Hey, you guys sound like we do when we stay! I tell folks that call about our cabin about the deer and ducks. I tell them that we see them about every time we go. But they are not "under contract" but normally show up! Also I always suggest the popcorn in a jar for feeding times. The convenience is really great as we walk downtown most stays. Thanks very much for your kind comments and your offer to share them with others. We hope to see you again soon.

We had a really great time at your cabin. The kids (girl age 8 and boy age 13) really enjoyed the creek - looking for minnows and crawdads. The ducks came by every day and we enjoyed feeding them popcorn or bread from the back deck. We had a great time in Gatlinburg. Took one day to go down to Franklin NC (fantastic drive through the Smoky Mountains) for a day of gem mining (my daughter found a large ~70 carat sapphire and my son a really nice emerald!). We will definitely do that again. And, another day at Dollywood (our first time). We had such a great time and we look forward to coming back again.
Owner response:Hey, This is what we like to hear, and do often in our guest book in the cabin. We appreciate you sharing your time with others on our VRBO listing. We can't guarantee the ducks but they are always there when we we go! I hope next time you see some of the deer in the early morning. Corn left at night helps! It is great that we own the property and our property line goes to the the other side of the creek! It sure beats a chlorine filled swimming pool! I think your comments will help others with young family members create a time to remember at our cabin. We are glad you had fun and hope to see you again soon!

We enjoyed our stay greatly! This cabin is situated in the perfect part of Gatlinburg for seclusion yet accessibility to town and attractions. We hope to come back in warmer weather in order to enjoy the deck, property, and stream. LOVED the onsite washer and dryer.
Owner response:Hey thanks much for your comments. It's hard to believe that we as owners have now enjoyed our "hidden hideaway" that is so close to town for a couple years now. We are glad you liked it as much as we do! Funny how many folks we have call us as they approach the cabin and I "talk them in". A little, further... keep going... closer, turn left... See it? Great! We prefer family and senior guests as well. Come back and see us soon! I am sure Kent's wife will have cool new decor to enjoy as she always does.
