About this property

Prime Location-3 Min to Town! Large Private Cabin, Hot Tub, Fireplace, Game Rm.



Whispering Canyon is THE ideal cabin where you will enjoy the best of the Smokies; a relaxing log cabin experience nestled in the trees right in the heart of Gatlinburg. The cabin is a very short 3 minute drive to The Parkway in Gatlinburg, 3 minutes to Ober Gatlinburg for year round outdoor play, 4 minutes to the National Park entrance and only 10-15 min to Pigeon Forge, with no scary roads and easy access to the many, many local attractions. It's also privately tucked into the canyon with no nearby neighbors, giving you that traditional cabin in the woods vacation.

Please note:
Whispering Canyon has a winding, moderately steep driveway with level parking at the top for up to 4 cars. Driveway conditions can be slippery or icy. All wheel or 4-wheel drive is recommended in icy and snowy weather.

Whispering Canyon includes:
-Comfortable accommodations for up to 12 guests
-3 Levels of living space
-3 Private Bedrooms with full bathrooms
-3 Decks that each run the full length of the cabin
-Wi-Fi and smart TV's
-Pool table and arcade games in the rec room
-Reading nook and board game table in the loft
-Hot tub * Propane Firepit * BBQ Grill on the decks

Whispering Canyon, located off Ski Mountain Rd in Gatlinburg, is a beautiful and comfortable cabin perfect for gatherings of friends and family. Everyone will find space to spread out, relax and rejuvenate. All 3 large bedrooms have access to one of 3 full length decks. All 3 decks come with multiple rocking chairs and lounge seating to enjoy your morning cup of coffee or your evening glass of wine (or 'shine). The pool table and arcade games are ready for friendly competition. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to prepare any meal. Roku enabled Smart TVs allow you to access your own streaming subscriptions from 6 different rooms throughout the cabin. When you are ready, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, and all local attractions are just a few minutes away. And you can't get much closer to the main entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Staying at Whispering Canyon will allow you to bypass the majority of traffic going into the park.

Here you will find a large multi-use recreation room with sectional sofa in front of a 65 inch Smart TV, a pool table,2 arcade games, and pub table w/ stools.

Family Hiking Experience

First, thanks to Rob and Erin for timely communication and quick responses to all my questions. Second, the property very accurately matches the description offered. Third, location was amazing for our journeys to central parts of GSMNP. Overall, an amazing weekend in which we were truly thankful to have a home away from home after some exhausting (but rewarding) hikes.

Great Stay

Wonderful cabin if you are looking to stay in- great location to get out and do things too! The hosts thought of everything to keep us comfortable including extra heaters, and plenty of comfortable bedding and extra blankets! We really appreciated the provided supplies to get us going and were able to have groceries delivered. Also, greatly appreciated minimal checkout chores.

Wonderful!

The cabin was great and everything we needed and wanted for our first vacation with a baby! All the kitchen supplies we needed, bedrooms on separate floors, great living room and TVs, comfortable beds, nice hot tub and everything was clean. The solid pizza place around the corner, quick access to the Park without going through gatlinburg, and quiet patio made it perfect.

Location, location, location! This beautiful cabin is not only secluded and up in the mountains, but is convenient to downtown Gatlinburg! The pictures don’t do justice to how nice this cabin is and how peaceful the location is. The hosts contacted us in timely manner on things. Just a great overall experience and plan to stay here again!

Ultimate Comfort

My friend group enjoyed every minute in this spacious and well-appointed cabin. We were a quick drive away from Gatlinburg attractions and the national park, but the cabin feels tucked away and remote. The views are spectacular, and the cabin was roomy and comfortable. Nothing but praise for this vacation rental. Highly recommend!

Perfect mountain getaway

The cabin is set up perfectly! It's perfect for the whole family or a gang of friends looking for a good time! Views from the balconies are awesome. Especially from the hot tub! The driveway is most definitely a experience if your not used to mountain roads! Super close to downtown! Will definitely stay again!

Great Cabin

We had a wonderful stay at Whispering Canyon cabin. It is well appointed, appliances looked new and very well maintained. The decks are wonderful to sit and enjoy the forest views, birds and fireflies. We even saw a bear ! Location is great. Only minutes to the entrance to the park. Hosts gave very good directions and are ever responsive! Thank you

Best Cabin we have ever stayed in!

This was the cleanest, best stocked, cabin we have ever stayed in, and we have stayed in several! The owners were very attentive and great to deal with. It is secluded enough for privacy, and big enough for atleast 10 people to relax comfortably. We will definitely rent this cabin again. Carrie & Eli Groves

Perfectly secluded mountain getaway

Whispering Canyon was the perfect choice for our family vacation! The property was very welcoming, clean, and stocked with basic essentials. Our group ranged in ages 2-72, we felt safe and secure the entire 4-night stay. The location is remarkable with easy access to Gatlinburg, Great Smokey Mountain National Park, and Pigeon Forge. It is easy to navigate to if you follow the hosts’ directions, expect a very short drive up the single lane winding roadway and driveway. The cabin layout worked very well for our three families, plenty of separation and privacy on all three levels. The only drawback is the lack of the majestic mountain-side views that you may find with other properties, but the wooded area offered a nice, quiet, and peaceful atmosphere (especially with your morning coffee or evening libation). We loved it, absolutely recommend it, and hope to return someday soon. Thank you HostedByRobin!

Perfect Location & Perfect Cabin!

Whispering Canyon was such a great place to stay for our first visit to the Smoky Mountains. We were so close to everything we wanted to do - from Dollywood and Pigeon Forge attractions to the Gatlinburg Parkway. After being out and about during the day, we loved coming back ‘home’ to the cabin for some R&R! We especially loved the coziness of the cabin. For such a large party (we had 7 people) we all had so much space and never felt crowded at all. We all felt that the cabin was a warm, inviting place to spend quality family time together. Having three separate levels meant that my kids could play games downstairs, while my husband and I were able to read upstairs, and our teens could enjoy the deck, hot tub, and firepit. Having just a few entry steps to the cabin would make it possible to bring my mom next time, as there is a full bedroom & bathroom on the main level - great for family members with limited mobility. Other likes: The beds were super comfy! Really, really great. Even my super picky husband liked them. 3 and a half bathrooms – great for a large group! Bears! We saw several bears from the cabin - amazing! Easy communication with Rob & Erin - anything we needed help with they were super responsive. We would definitely come back and rent Whispering Canyon again. Thanks for a great stay!
