Live a taste of the pioneer past at The Homestead, a mid-1800s hand-hewn dogtrot cabin showcasing large white oak logs and dovetail notching. Set on the top of a mountain road in the historic Timber Ridge Community, this Gatlinburg, Tennessee, vacation rental offers classic Smoky Mountain living. Enjoy the peace of the trees, majestic mountain views, a community made up of authentic and antique log homes, and a short drive to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
This reconstructed log home made of reclaimed farm wood from West Virginia offers modern comforts inside. The fully equipped galley-style kitchen features granite countertops and a laundry area. Rest in 2 cozy bedrooms with king beds (plus 2 twin bunks) - each with a nice bathroom.
After busy days exploring the Smokies, unwind in the cozy living area with a gas fireplace and mountain views. Stroll the full-length covered porch, where you'll have rocking chairs, a dining table, and a soothing hot tub. Soak in colorful sunsets and watch the clouds change - or watch for bears and other wildlife nearby.
You'll also have a park-style grill for barbecues, 40-inch Hisense/Roku smart TVs, a computer desk, a 65-inch ONN/Roku smart TV, and mountain views from the deck. You can also book The Shed for more space (just steps away) or Sheriff's Cabin just below. Other nice nearby properties when you're traveling with a group include Always, Ever After, Journey's End, and Life's a Bear!
