About this property

Private cabin- Daily Bear Sightings

Welcome to Duck Pond Cabin, where peaceful mountain charm and rustic Appalachian beauty come together to create the perfect Smoky Mountain escape. Built from authentic 100-year-old logs, this one-of-a-kind cabin offers a true taste of mountain living while providing all the comforts of home.

Nestled in a tranquil wooded setting, you’ll love spending your mornings with a cup of coffee in the rocking chairs on the deck or unwinding in the hot tub as you overlook three peaceful ponds. Keep an eye out for the ducks and bears that often visit—it’s one of the many simple joys that make this cabin so special.

After a day of exploring the Great Smoky Mountains, cozy up beside the wood-burning fireplace, relax in the indoor Jacuzzi, or enjoy the convenience of wireless internet and an in-cabin washer and dryer. Whether you’re seeking a romantic getaway or a quiet retreat surrounded by nature, Duck Pond Cabin is the perfect place to slow down, reconnect, and make lasting mountain memories.

Location is perfect. Not on a resort which is great, but still close if wanting to go out in an evening. Kitchen is not well equipped if wanting to cook. Has the very basics. We're probably the odd ones who don't eat out even on vacation. The cabin was fun, cozy, and private.

Gatlingburg trip

The cabin was absolutely the cutest ever. The front porch was the best for evenings after our trip out. After 5 the bear comes out every afternoon. Would and will recommend this cabin and will use it on our next trip in the fall.

Duck Pond cabin

We had an awesome time. The cabin was decorated in a duck theme, which is beautiful and matches the design inside. Everything you need was furnished.

Amazing

The drive to piegon forge and gatlinburg were both short and easy to drive! The cabin is small and quaint and feels like home! Absolutely loved our stay here! We didnt see any bears but we did see a wild turkey and some frog handing out in the pond! Overall it was an amazing stay!

Overall Good

We had a great time on our stay. Some minor things need to be addressed in the description. Mostly the stairs to the upper level. They are quite steep, would be very difficult for older adults and small children. It would also be nice to have better lighting outside of steps to the porch. It also could use a good dusting inside especially on the decor in the stairway. Love the cabin otherwise.

Pros : Great cabin in a Great location .Easy to get to, plenty of room to park . Quiet setting , the only other cabin visible is high on a hill not really close to this cabin . Kitchen is fully equipped including drip coffee maker and blender, cooking utensils etc..Cons: no gas grill, there is a charcoal park grill outside of cabin but it hasn’t been used or cleaned for a while and something has built a nest inside, I’m sure you could clean it out . Bring charcoal and foil to cover the grate . Covered porch is covered in spider webs and debris ( you should expect this to some degree with a cabin in the woods), the two bedrooms are upstairs and the steps are steep . Only one shower upstairs and it is smaller than the one in our RV . Tip: bring test strips if you plan on using the hot tub .
