257 Black Mash, 3.6 miles from of the GSMNP. On Gold Creek!
Escape to the enchanting Smoky Mountains and experience a slice of paradise at this Cozy Cabin located just 3.6 away from the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, you'll have easy access to some of the most breathtaking trails and scenic wonders the Smokies have to offer.
The park offers a diverse range of hiking trails suitable for all skill levels, from leisurely strolls to challenging treks. Whether you're seeking a peaceful nature walk or an exhilarating climb to a panoramic view, the options are endless.
This cabin is truly a haven, providing everything you could possibly desire in a Smoky Mountain retreat. Whether you're seeking a romantic escape or a memorable family vacation, this cabin has it all.

The GSMNP boasts an extensive network of trails that wind through ancient forests, alongside
cascading waterfalls, and up majestic peaks. Immerse yourself in the beauty of the wilderness as you encounter vibrant wildflowers, towering trees, and possibly even wildlife along the way.
For a leisurely hike, you might consider exploring the well-known Cades Cove Loop Road, which offers a scenic 11-mile drive or bike ride through a picturesque valley. You'll have the chance to spot wildlife, admire historic buildings, and take in stunning mountain views. If you're up for a challenge, trails like Alum Cave, Charlies Bunion, or the iconic Appalachian Trail await your exploration.
After a day of hiking and adventure, return to your cozy cabin oasis. Relax on the deck or in front of the fireplace, reminiscing about the stunning vistas you witnessed and the memories you made.
The fully equipped kitchen invites you to unleash your culinary creativity. Whip up delicious meals using local ingredients or savor a candlelit dinner for two. The choice is yours. After a delightful feast, unwind in the living room, where a comfortable couch beckons for relaxation. Catch up on your favorite shows or movies with the Roku TV and stay connected with the world using the high-speed internet.
Indulge in ultimate relaxation in the indoor Jacuzzi tub, where the warm, bubbling waters provide a rejuvenating experience for your body and soul. Let the worries of the outside world fade away as you sink into pure bliss.
With two cozy bedrooms, each adorned with a queen-sized bed, a restful night's sleep is guaranteed. Wake up refreshed and step onto the porch to breathe in the crisp mountain air. The tranquility of the "Peaceful Side of the Smokies" surrounds you, offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
