About this property

Up from the ashes of the 2016 wildfires.newer,contemporary, in town but private

This is a new rebuild from the 2016 wild fires. It is not your cookie cutter cabin. If I had to start all over I wanted to build in a lot of features that hopefully guests would appreciate beyond the ordinary. The location is in town but private with a view of the mountains and activities below. At night it’s just beautiful from the covered porch or the deck. It is a one level home and is pet friendly.The setting is wooded and peaceful but you feel connected . Although children are welcome it is more geared toward adults. All the appliances as well as the baths are higher end. The decor is a mix of organic contemporary,farmhouse, and modern functional. The home is setup with tech within reason. There is a maximum of six overnight guests that is strictly enforced . All bedrooms have queen beds. The laundry is in a central hallway so everyone has access. I don’t use an outside agency so if there’s ever a problem you can communicate with me directly because I want you to have a pleasant and memorable stay.

Great stay! Absolutely perfect location just between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge(only a few miles to both) and not to far from Sevierville. So convenient to everything but not so close to town that it’s busy and chaotic. Loved the fenced in yard for the pups. It’s hard to find a place in the mountains with a fenced yard so we were super excited. The home was warm and cozy and the living room was perfect for everyone to hangout, play board games, and just relax. The views outside from the porch and deck were absolutely stunning. I’m surprised this place isn’t booked year round.

Cozy Cabin

We loved the location of this one level cabin. It had all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen had everything needed to cook a homemade meal and all the beds were comfortable. The back deck was a very peaceful and tranquil place to relax. Very close to Gatlinburg but far enough to enjoy quiet mornings and evenings.

Relaxing Spring Break

We really enjoyed our stay here. The deck and patio were great for relaxing in the sun and the fenced in yard was very nice for our dog. We enjoying hiking a couple of trails and visiting Gatlinburg. This location was great for both. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed.

Family Vacation 2024

We absolutely loved this property! Everything was perfect for our stay. The house was very clean, layout was great, beds very comfy and the outdoor space was fabulous! We loved sitting on the back porch and there were even ceiling fans outside, so even though it was super hot out, it still felt great to sit outside and enjoy nature! Would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Lynda Hamilton

Host profile image
I’m retired law enforcement from Tampa Florida. I’ve owned this property since 2008. My original cabin burned down to the ground in the November 2016 wildfires along with many others. I survived the fire because I was in Florida at the time where my home there had been flooded by hurricane Hermine. I was ripping out walls and cabinets and throwing out furniture when I got the news of the fire here. It’s taken 3 years to rebuild back because of lack of skilled construction labor along with so many others rebuilding. I’m good now and I hope you enjoy the fruits of my labor.

Why they chose this property

It’s new! It’s in town! It’s private! It’s special! It’s NOT COOKIE CUTTER. It’s convenient to everything. (Including close to the only grocery store (FoodCity),urgentcare,Police, and Fire). There’s a trolly stop approx. two blocks away. You’re a mile from the walking area of Gatlinburg, 5 miles to Pigeon Forge, Sevierville and Dollywood.
