About this property

Across the road from the National Park boundary! 1.8 miles from downtown!

Come to Gatlinburg and enjoy the Smokys in peace and quiet while relaxing on the front porch, sipping your coffee and watching, deer, turkey, and maybe an occasional bear.. Yes bear in the front yard or up the road in the National Park that borders the road.
Enjoy the moonlight before turning in to the bedroom that will capture you into peaceful sleep on pillow-top mattresses and quality linens. We are close to Dollywood, The Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge and 1.8 miles from Downtown Gatlinburg.

Our cabin is located on highway 321 and close to downtown Gatlinburg. This highway has the only grocery store in Gatlinburg on it, as well as McDonald's, Subway, several restaurants, several pizza places and 2 pancake houses. Whether you eat out or in, everyone needs to run to the grocery store occasionally and this is very convenient to have the grocery store 1.5 miles from the cabin on hwy 321.

The property was great and we loved the cabin. The decor on the walls could use a good dusting but everything was as expected. The host gave great directions, entry to the property was seamless, and it's in a great location.

Loved our stay at the cabin. We like the area it’s close to town. We like the seclusion it’s very clean, very quiet and just a very, very comfortable place to stay. This is our third stay and have another stay coming up in the fall. The host is extremely attentive and if you have any questions, he’s right there just a phone call away. We enjoy sitting on the deck enjoying the wildlife.

This stay was everything we could have wanted and more. The aesthetic is beautiful and you can never go wrong with a hot tub! We had bears visit daily which was so exciting to see so up close!! We booked in advance by many months so we got a really good deal I think for how beautiful this place was. We already keep talking about wanting to come back here. The host was so kind and provided helpful information about local trails!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Our family has been coming to the Smoky Mountains for over 50 years. It is one of our favorite vacation destinations and holds many special childhood and family memories. We have camped, stayed in condos and hotels. In 2006 after finding this lot, we decided to build our own cabin.

Why they chose this property

This cabin is located on a private flat lot located close to downtown and the Roaring Fork Motor Trail.

What makes this property unique

You are close to town yet secluded in a gorgeous private cabin with large kitchen and plenty of room. Outside there is a picnic area in summer and a Jacuzzi anytime.
Only 2 minutes away from downtown Gatlinburg and lots more fun. The roads are well maintained in winter and it is close to Gatlinburg's only grocery store.
