About the area

Cosby

Located in Cosby, this cabin is in a rural area and on the waterfront. Bent Creek Golf Club and Bootleggers Distillery are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Douglas Lake.

LOVED our stay!!!! Our only issue was the trundle bed was a twin and not a queen as advertised. But they brought us a blow up air mattress which was a good alternative for the kids. Otherwise we had a wonderful experience! The host was very attentive to our needs and took care of things VERY quickly. The property was beautiful and we even got an extra surprise visitor Marshmallow the bear! It was great being so far out in nature and experiencing all it has to offer! Beautiful location and home!

June 2024 weekend stay

The lodge is beautifully furnished. The grounds are well maintained. The river is as peaceful as it gets. Just 30 minutes away from Gatlinburg, so you get the peace and privacy, and then a short drive to the shopping and eats.

Charming Mountain Cabin

My family (including dogs) loved staying at Lodge at Dunn Creek! The cabin was so cute and clean. It had everything we needed. The creek was absolutely beautiful and refreshing! We loved fishing, dogs playing, feet soaking and relaxing in and around it! We would recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a charming and peaceful time.

Fantastic rental!

From the handwritten welcome to the courtesy checking, this rental did not disappoint. The lodge was adorable and super clean. The sound from the creek was incredibly relaxing and a perfect accompaniment to a hot cup of tea or coffee. Whether you are going with a group of friends or your family, this unit and property are a great option. Will definitely be going back!

Nice place to relax

We enjoyed our 3 night stay here. The property was very clean and comfortable. The road coming in from the Gatlinburg side was very narrow in spots, not wide enough for two large vehicles. Verizon and AT & T had zero reception for miles around. Wi-Fi worked great.

Almost perfect

Location of the property is wonderful. It was close to all the attractions we wanted to see but far enough away from town to enjoy the quiet country life. House was beautiful, plenty of room for 8 of us. We enjoyed our stay. Would have given 5 stars if kitchen would have had a little better selection/quality of pans to cook with. We were also surprised there was no salt or pepper in the house.

Hey Miriam, Guest Services Manager here. I'm so disappointed to see this review - we hate to hear things weren't up to par for you. We sent you a message at check-in to make sure everything was ok and we never heard from you. We would have been happy to address any issues, but we didn't know you weren't satisfied. I also reached out right after this review was left to see if there was anything we could do, but I still didn't hear back. Hope you'll give us a chance in the future.

First trip to the mountains

Stay was pretty good. There’s pretty much no internet service though, so I had to walk down the road just to get reception to be able to call out for the door code which was supposed to be sent 2 hours earlier. Out of about 6 tvs only 2 worked. I didn’t realize that other people would be close either but I loved the fact that there were 2 kitchens! Hot tub was secluded from sight, had a nice view and was very clean. The screened in porch and view of the creek was my favorite.
