Budget-Friendly! Creekside, Hot Tub, Firepit

Welcome to Shady Creek, your peaceful and playful Smoky Mountain escape! This large cabin offers the perfect blend of comfort, fun, and serenity — featuring 3 spacious bedrooms, multiple built-in bunk beds, and a layout that’s ideal for families or groups.

Settle in with the soothing sounds and dip your toes in the adjoining creek, unwind in the hot tub under the stars, or relax on the large deck surrounded by nature. Inside, kids will find their own mountain paradise with a dedicated game room, air hockey table, and an extra-large TV perfect for movie nights or gaming marathons.

Tucked away in the woods yet just minutes from downtown Gatlinburg and the national park entrance, Shady Creek combines the privacy of a secluded retreat with quick access to shops, attractions, and trails.

“Gorgeous Creek View, Disappointing Stay”

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view of the creek is stunning, but that’s the only good part. The house was not clean, the washer didn’t work properly, and there was no internet or TV connection during my entire stay. Definitely needs better maintenance and management.
Response from VrboOwner on 5 Nov 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While we’re glad you enjoyed the beautiful creek view, we’re very sorry to hear about the issues you experienced during your stay. This is certainly not the level of cleanliness or maintenance we strive to provide. Your comments have been shared with our housekeeping and maintenance teams to ensure these concerns are addressed right away. We truly appreciate your honesty and the opportunity to improve, and we hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to provide the quality experience we’re known for.
