Remote tiny home community

We had a wonderful stay at this tiny home campground in the beautiful rural Tennessee mountains. Less than an hour from the national park yet feels a world away from touristy Gatlinburg. Our host Tammy was a lovely and gracious host.

Amazing hideaway

Lovely little spot to hideaway but not too far from the places we wanted to go. Areas like the pond looked a little more run down compared to the pics online (possibly damage from recent hurricane?) We still enjoyed our stay though and would absolutely stay again!

We have a front-wheel-drive mid-size sedan and had no issues getting in and out of the property. It is a little rough, but it can be done. Our bed in the loft was so comfy. We opened the windows and slept so well. If you have any issues climbing, it's not for you. My son can't climb ladders, so we put him on the fold-out couch area, and he said he slept great. The ladder we had to put outside on the porch because it fell off and hit me. It needs to be a little more secure. That happened before we even touched it. Other than that, communication was great. It is tiny but super cute. The pond was nice to sit by. We had a great time. We had coffee under the stars in the early morning. Little fox has a great view.

Good Cabin, Annoying Neighbors

The cabin was very nice and it was a fun trip. It would have been nice to know that the drive to the cabin was on dirt roads that were steep because it would have better informed what car I took on my trip. Also someone from another cabin parked in my parking spot the whole stay. Otherwise everything was very nice. :)

Nice Getaway

My husband and I rented this tiny house for a quick weekend getaway and enjoyed the peace and quiet it offered. We stopped at Walmart for some essentials and used the little charcoal grill for grilling some steaks. The tiny house had everything we needed! The couch section is little and uncomfortable so we sat on porch a lot!! Only thing that would of made it better is a Propane Heater as it was a bit chilly. We didn’t really use the Japanese Hot Tub as it needed to be unplugged and plugged back in and took awhile to warm back up.. but maybe next time we’ll have time to jump in. We didn’t explore the area much or make it to the Peace Pagoda, maybe on another visit! Our last morning it started to rain and made our morning sleep so relaxing!

Slightly Disappointed

The property was beautiful, albeit a little concerning to get to. My car does sit a little low and rubbed in a few spots on the dirt road, and also had some trouble with steepness of the incline in a few places, but overall we did ok getting in and out. Our biggest issue was the hot tub, or lack thereof. We were not notified before arriving that the hot tub required maintenance and would not be usable. The main reason we selected this property over the various others we looked at was for the hot tub. We were vacationing for our first wedding anniversary and were greatly looking forward to relaxing. The owners did reply promptly when we inquired about using it, and did offer to set up the sauna, but we would have much rather have had a heads up before arrival. Had we not inquired, they never would have mentioned any issues with us. Overall a good stay, just maybe update your guests fully in the future.

Pretty mid

The place was pretty difficult to find but we really enjoyed the little adventure of finding it. Our car had no problems getting to it, even though we showed up at night. The hosts were not present or existent which may be because it’s more of an off season, but we didn’t mind. We were there to hike not to hang at the place. The thing that really dropped my rating on this was the kitchen/cooking situation. We planned to cook dinner both nights we were there, and the kitchen was a bit disappointing. The pots and pans are stored under the staircase, and it was a bit dusty under there, which made me doubt the cleanliness of the cookware. There was a air fryer oven which worked nicely and a electric two burner stove top that seemed partially broken. All in all it just felt like a cabin that didn’t have the best up keep or over watch from the owners, as these were things that they would catch if they went there now and then.

Best TN MTN Experience Ever

We stayed here on a short spring break trip with our 17 year old daughter. We would LOVE to come back and stay longer. I picked up a horrible cold while traveling so we didn't try the soaking tub or sauna and I didn't cook like I'd normally do. The first drive up the winding, steep mountain road was intimidating. Once you make it you realize it's steady and wide and your vehicle will do fine, just go slow. This immaculate, well designed cozy cabin had every amenity and more you need to shower, cook and enjoy the outdoors in a stunning setting. Extra towels, enough shampoo and conditioner to get you started, well equipped kitchen including kcups and creamer. There is a little store onsite with soda, farm fresh eggs and some snacks that are priced lower than most grocers honestly. The host answers every question promptly and they are around if you need them. I stayed to myself since I was sick. There is a small town around the corner with nice people, diners, grocery stores, little town second hand shops, really cool pawn shops and some bars we didn't check out. You are also about a 45 minute scenic drive away from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge if you want to see the tourist trap type stuff for some excitement. You're also far enough away you can forget that it exists if you want to. I hope to come back with more friends next time and rent multiple cabins so we can all enjoy this mountain paradise they have created here.

Perfect getaway!

We spent 2 nights here for our anniversary. The drive to Tiny Fox was rustic, but nothing our 4WD vehicle couldn’t handle. The house was perfect and as described. The soaking tub was a dream after our long drive and we woke up the next morning to breakfast being delivered right to our door. The scenery around us was stunning and neighbors were sparse. Communication with the owner was excellent. Thank you for making our stay so special. We’ve passed on the listing to people we know- it was wonderful!!

Senior Tiny Foxes

We enjoyed our three night stay at Tiny Fox. My husband and I are 64, and this was our first tiny home experience. We had our golden retriever with us. The house is super cute! But it is tiny! You have to be prepared for that. Beds were very comfy.We had breakfast on the porch and enjoyed one especially nice one prepared by the chef! Driveway is very doable (lots of prior comments on that) and I was able to walk around the property with the dog and even up to the Peace Pagoda (whew!). Japanese soaking tub was neat! I initially could not find any pots or pans but they are neatly tucked away in a cabinet under the stairs. Everything you need is there. We enjoyed the Tennessee side of the park and also enjoyed a great hike in the Cherokee National Forest (where the trails are all dog friendly). All in all this was a really fun and memorable stay!

About the host

Hosted by Tammy and Sam

Host profile image
Please allow us to introduce ourselves. We are Sam and Tammy ; We ourselves were once visitors to The Great Smoky Mountains. Sam is a native Swiss/German and had always the idea to offer and operate a “back to the basics” or Vacation retreat “holiday on a family owned and operated Farm”. We traveled all over the US to see where we want to settle. It took only one visit to realize that this is where we wanted to live, work and raise our children. We went back and forward , sold our home/company and moved to what we think is a most extraordinary place.
We are extremely proud to own and operate Stuetz Mountain Retreat, where you will receive top notch personal attention to make your stay a memorable one.
Each of the cabins we build from a kit or from scratch. All measures have been taken to provide all the comforts of home to make your stay as comfortable and authentic as possible. Click on the Cabins tab and take a tour of the available cabins. Each cabin has a list of amenities sure to please any vacationer and adventure seeker. We hope you enjoy The Great Smoky Mountains and this peace of paradise alone or with your family as much as we have.

In our life, it has been clear that nothing comes easily. We are happy that we took the hard road in many areas to develop and maintain our land, knowing that this efforts will eventually produce better results. Since we are family owned and operated we also maintain a self-sustainable lifestyle. Instead of using disposable products constantly, Sam and Tammy aims to use recyclable and reusable alternatives, even though they often require more effort.
Enjoy your stay with us!
