Great weekend getaway

As described, the cabin is tiny but had the essentials we needed for our stay. The hike down from the parking area is short, but it's steep and you might need to make a couple trips. We brought 3 days of food and firewood and had a nice relaxing time.

Tiny cabin in Smokies

Great cabin tucked away on mountain side with good views and private, does take someone in good shape to walk the steep path. You can have the employees take you in and out with your stuff for a small fee. We enjoyed our stay and will stay again. Owner and employees are pheasant, and helpful and have a small store for supplies.

Peaceful Secluded Country Stay

Overall we enjoyed our stay. Peaceful quiet country setting You need to be able to make the difficult walk up from the cabin but down also. We did ok but some would not be able to physicaly walk it. TV did not power on to watch DVD and we didn't want to bother with it as it was not a big deal. Toilet loose and wobbly. Could've been cleaner as far as dusting goes but cute tiny place and not far from town. Gatlinburg was a 45 min drive and there is a nice Apple Orchard on the way.

Very tiny home and tiny hot tub

Not very much space but pet friendly. A few dishes but not enough to get through a week stay. Only two rolls of paper towels and 2 of toilet paper for a week. Only four bath towels and 2 dish towels and 4 wash rags. One used sponge and not much detergent . The hot tub chemicals burned me in multiple spots and took a long time to warm up. Cozy cabin but very long exhausting upgravel hike to get where you have to park. Also didn’t include any Lysol or cleaning supplies.

Secluded and cozy!

This was awesome! Really enjoyed staying at this tiny house it is very cozy and away from it all! The hike up is steep so be prepared but if you don’t want to hike they with being you down or up if you request! The host were available even though we got in late to come and bring us down with our stuff and when check out came 2 people actually showed up to help bring our stuff back up to our truck they were not aware that the other was on the way! We really enjoyed our stay! And wouldn’t hesitate to come and stay again!

Cleanliness & experience

When my boyfriend and I first arrived, we had to get some help finding our cabin because it was dark and it was hard to see the sign for the cabin. I would highly recommend using 4wd/Awd if you plan on staying here. The owner was very nice and helped us get all our luggage down to our cabin on the rangers. To get down to the cabin it is completely down hill, so if you have difficulty walking, then I wouldn’t recommend staying here because it really is a trip to get back up the hill. Especially in the dark because there isn’t good lighting and no rails to hold on to. I about ate it each trip we went up or down. When we got brought down to the cabin the first night, I looked through it real quick before the owner left and there were dirty towels all over the shower floor, dirty blankets all over the floor of the living room, dog hair all over the rug, no extra toilet paper or paper towel. The owner cleaned up all the dirty linens and apologized and left. Good thing we brought our own linens because there were none after nor did they bring us any. The shower was still covered in hair so I did message them and asked them to come clean the bathroom the next day. The shower got cleaned but still no towels or toilet paper. Other than that, the view is absolutely beautiful and it’s secluded from everyone else. It’s perfect for a little getaway. If you don’t mind bumping in to each other often then this is a perfect place to stay.

Peaceful tiny cabin

Great secluded quiet peaceful setting! There are 3 switchbacks down to the cabin so be prepared when packing- but sooo worth the hike!! New covered deck is great -hillside view is beautiful — loved the grounds— perhaps an updated map of some hiking trails would be helpful— so happy i found this place for our first visit to Tennessee!!!

Adventurous short stay

Me and my boyfriend stayed here for 3 nights and it was so magical. I loved the hot tub, the bonfire, the view and most of all the cabin. It was small but not confined.. perfect for 2 people! The owners were so sweet and did a wonderful job on all the cabins. We hiked the big creek trail (about 30 min away) to Mouse Creek falls.. I would highly recommend! They really thought of everything for this cabin and if you’re wondering, there is everything u would need to make food and even sticks for s’mores. I can’t wait to go back. Might make this an annual visit. Thank you!

Just what we needed

When we arrived, we should have followed the signs, but we didn't. We met Sammy and he showed us to our cabin. He was very friendly and helpful. The cabin was clean and had modern appliances. The view was spectacular! The hot tub was wonderful! We brought our 4 wheeler and had a breakdown and Sammy and Tammy came to help us. They are truly nice people. It was a perfect end to a perfect anniversary weekend. We are going to tell all our family and friends how wonderfully perfect this place was for us. We are possibly thinking of coming back in the fall.❤❤❤👍👍

Relaxing and Adventurous Vacation!

My husband and I absolutely loved this remote tiny home cabin overlooking the Smoky Mountains!! Before we had arrived, we started our first vacation hike in Gatlinburg, but it was so crowded in town. After our hike we drove 40 mins to the tiny home cabin and it was exactly the experience we were looking for. The hosts are super friendly and responsive. You can tell that the cabin was well thought out. It had everything you needed. There is a little hike maybe 5 mins to get to the cabin but we brought a wagon to pull our stuff down. We didn’t mind this as it made it another unique fun experience. The host also offers to help with a 4 wheeler if needed. We enjoyed the hikes, the views, the hot tub, campfire, grilling lunch and dinner, making our own breakfast, and there is a cool hike nearby to see a Buddhist Pagoda! There’s many more activities the host offers that we didn’t have time for. We hope to be back again next year and we highly recommend this stay!

Whether you’re here for hiking, stargazing, or simply resting, we’re dedicated to making your stay comfortable, memorable, and restorative.

Why they chose this property

We chose this private, wooded spot on Woodland Way in the foothills of the Cherokee National Forest because it offers the perfect balance of seclusion, hardwoods and abundant wildlife, it’s ideal for those seeking true peace and quiet. We love the fresh mountain air, and the easy access to hiking trails, rivers, and local adventures. It’s far enough away from the crowds to feel like a true escape, yet close enough to enjoy everything East Tennessee has to offer.

What makes this property unique

Wilderness Cabin stands out as a genuine rustic retreat nestled directly into the mountainside of the Cherokee National Forest. Unlike typical rentals, this private cabin delivers a nature experience wake to birdsong, enjoy star-filled skies with minimal light pollution, and feel the deep calm of the woods all around you.

It’s perfect for couples, solo travelers, or small groups wanting an authentic, off-the-grid feel with all the comforts of home.
