Smoky Mountain Hideaway is a large, open concept log home situated on 7 1/2 private acres about a half mile from the National Park. While the spectacular views of the Smoky Mountains are the main attraction, the house has 3,200 square feet of living space and offers a lot of individual privacy for larger groups. It is great as a final destination for sitting on the porch, watching the mountains and visiting with friends and family or as home base for other activities such as riding the Dragon. If you're very lucky you might even see a bear or bobcat from the porch in addition to the deer, coyotes and wild turkeys that are more frequent visitors.

It is 5 minutes from great hiking trails inside the Park, fly fishing along Abrams Creek or paddling on Lake Chilhowee. It's only 10-15 minutes to the Tail of the Dragon, the Foothills Parkway and the Look Rock observation tower. If you're hankering for the crowds, it's an 80-90 minute drive to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg along the Foothills Parkway. The views from the Foothills Parkway are amazing!

The house sleeps 10 comfortably in the 4 bedrooms and there's plenty of privacy with 3 modern baths. We also have a futon with extra bedding in the downstairs living area. The house has 160 feet of covered porches facing the mountains which are equipped with ceiling fans and plenty of outdoor seating including two porch swings. A fully paved driveway and two car garage make it ideal for motorcycle groups riding the Tail of the Dragon and the Foothills Parkway. There's also room on the grass to park trailers

There's a gas grill and extra propane tanks in the garage for outdoor cooking and the large gourmet kitchen is fully outfitted, except for food. We have a large fully equipped laundry room as well. Many guests say the kitchen and house are the best equipped vacation rentals they've ever stayed in.

Because of our remote location there is no cell phone service around the cabin unless you have AT&T cell service. We also offer free WiFi and land line phone service in the house. You can do WiFi calling as well.

After a hard day of sightseeing or riding the Dragon you can kick back and watch your favorite shows or movies on the big screen TV's in the two living areas using your preferred streaming service. We also have lots of old movies for the DVD players as well. Many guests prefer to sit on the fully covered full-length porch, listen to the whippoorwills, coyotes and Mill Creek while they watch the gorgeous mountain sunsets. There are also books, magazines and tons of board games. We have a rustic natural stone fire ring and a wood pile up behind the cabin for an evening of S'mores or story telling.

Although it is not ADA compliant, the main floor of the house is easily accessible for people with limited mobility. The driveway, garage and main floor of the house are on the same level with no steps. The house is not baby proof, but we do have a high chair, portable safety gates, a booster seat, step stools and a folding porta-crib.

We have a liberal cancellation policy.

No pets and no smoking are allowed inside the house.

We try to be very responsive as we're not a corporate vacation rental management company.

A peaceful mountain retreat

The place was perfect for our needs. We brought 4 cars down from PA to attend a dragon rally car event. We had plenty of space for us and the vehicles. The space was very clean and the communication was very quick with responses to our questions. I would consider staying here again if I ever return to the area.

Would Return

We booked here wanting a place big enough for 7 of us, aware it was 30 minutes from the venue we were attending. Not realizing the location (smokey mountains).Once we arrived everyone was in Awww.. Being a family from central California we grew up camping in the Sequoias so this surprise was Amazing. Highly recommend. Not only the location but the cabin, and owners played a huge part in making it enjoyable. We didn't have any littles ones with us but we all talked about how it would be the perfect place for a furture famliy trip.

Absolutely Amazing

What a great hide away! The views from the bottom or top porches are great and the porches have plenty of room to spread out and accommodate everyone. The house was very clean and everything worked as it should. We rented this place for our annual motorcycle trip as the pictures made it seem very motorcycle friendly with a paved driveway from the road to the house, room to turn around a trailer for the ones that trailer your bike, and a nice sized garage to keep the bikes out of the weather. Everything was just as pictured and described and very upkept, and the driveway is smoothly paved. No cell signal only wifi which couldnt be any better. Highly highly recommend this place !

Outstanding property and outstanding owner/manager

The view from the balcony and from the main room are outstanding. The owner graciously provides necessities for running the household for the duration of the visit: dishwasher pods, laundry detergent, towels, shampoo, etc. This is not only a beautiful and relaxing environment, but one of quality and generosity as well. We LOVE it here.

Beautiful! Hope to return someday.

This was a perfect home base for a family wedding in Maryville. The beautiful home, scenery, and nearby attractions were a bonus. The floor plan includes spacious public areas and privacy to accommodate multiple families. It worked well for everyone, from our 84-year-old mother to our 15-year-old nephew!

Beautiful Mountain Home

Thanks for sharing your home with us. It was so clean and was decorated beautifully. This home was well stocked from the kitchen to the bathrooms to the laundry room. It had everything we needed for a great weekend with friends. The mountain views were amazing and we loved watching the deer and wild turkeys as well as the hummingbirds that visited the porch. We would definitely recommend this place and give it 5 stars!

About the host

Hosted by David Drummond

Host profile image
My wife and I are retired and live in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. We purchased this cabin in 2016 as a vacation home because we love being in the mountains. We enjoy the outdoors and activities such as hiking, bird watching and just sitting on the porch and watching the ever changing sky. If you look through our gallery, you'll see a few of the sunrise/sunset photos we've taken from the porch.

Why they chose this property

We love the spectacular mountain views, the open layout of the house and the peace and quiet. With all the windows and covered porches you can have a very enjoyable day just sitting on the porch and watching the mountains and sky even if it's a rainy day. The location is also very private and gives us a real sense of being away from it all. During the spring and summer the whippoorwills serenade you every night and sometimes the coyote too. You can hear Mill Creek tumbling down the mountainside almost year 'round and the wind blowing through the pines at any time.

What makes this property unique

If you want to come and relax in a modern log cabin surrounded by nature with spectacular mountain views this is the place for you. We have free wifi if you feel you have to stay in touch.
