Beautiful View!

We enjoyed our stay with our daughter and pets. The host welcomed our dog and cat which was such a blessing! The cabin is small but it is beautiful with beautiful views and has everything you need. The loft is super cool too!

The Rustic Mountain Retreat is a small, cute cabin with an amazing view off the deck. My husband and I went for our 10 year wedding anniversary and it was perfect for the two of us. The hot tub isn’t super private as there is the Wilderness cabin drive rite by the fire pit for this cabin, but it still feels private enough. The road leading up to the cabin is pretty rough in some spots but we had fun with it since we have a Jeep Wranger and it kinda felt like we were off roading. I feel like the only down side we had with the cabin was the shower is definitely on the small side. I’m 5’ and 115 lbs and it was a tight squeeze for me. But other than that we really enjoyed the quietness in the area.

A great little cabin tucked away on the mountain and very private. A little small for 6 people but if you have the right group then it’s a fun experience being so tight

Cozy and Relaxing

This was a cute and cozy cabin situated on a mountainside with a great view. You will definitely need 4WD to get to it, but is worth the drive. The hot tub is large enough for several people, and the view from the porch is excellent. Great for a relaxing getaway.

Our happy place

This is the second time we have stayed at this cabin and third time overall staying at one of Tammy’s properties and I can’t say enough good things. It’s affordable, beautiful views and Tammy is wonderful. Only thing I’d say is, I wouldn’t suggest this to “groups” it’s really made for a couple and their children. It’d be a tight squeeze for adults to sleep in the loft area but kids would love it!

Meticulously maintained, rustic and romantic.

We are so thankful to have found this lovely property! What a relaxing time we had in this cozy, romantic place. Majestic views from comfy seating on the porch, a nice clean hot tub just next to the cabin, everything spotless and in working order. Beautiful hiking trails. We loved every minute of our stay and wish we had booked more days there.

Enjoyed the beautiful scenery!! Very peaceful place to relax.

Need a place to decompress and get away from the rest of the world then this would be the place. If you enjoy the outdoors and to relax around the fire I would suggest to bring a couple of bag chairs. Otherwise cabin has all the basic kitchen equipment to cook and make your stay pleasant.

Good for a quiet weekend getaway

Cabin was nice. Very clean. It’s great if you’re wanting to spend most of your time at the cabin relaxing. It was very peaceful and the view off the deck overlooking the mountains is absolutely amazing. It was mid summer and very hot so we didn’t use the hot tub or the fire pit but I’m sure those would be great in the cooler months. We planned on coming and going a lot during our stay so going up and down the mountain was kind of a chore but luckily we had a good truck with 4x4 for the mountain road. Overall we were pretty happy with our stay and would most likely come back.

Vacation

Very nice view but I wouldn’t exactly call that a grill. We loved the seclusion and the hot tub. The only surprise we had was the people that parked at the cabin to walk down to another location that we did not realize was there. Overall very pleased and would come back again.

Nestled in the woods with a gorgeous view

We came up to get married and our stay was fantastic. Plenty of good flicks to watch if you are chilling in the cabin even a board game, a deck of card, and a record player with some VERY old albums…(bring some of your vinyl). Everything was as expected and better. Thank you for making our special weekend just that much more special!

Nice little retreat in the mountains.

Host was very friendly, and easy to work with. Cabin was clean upon arrival and as stated in the description. Gps will not take you to the exact location, so make sure you understand the directions in description. The road is rocky and a bit steep, but enjoyable to drive leading up to the cabin. What a great place to stay and would definitely recommend to anyone.

Amazing getaway in the mountains 🥰

This cabin and the location was perfect for our mini family outing. It is cozy and super cute! And it has all the necessities, plus a fun hot tub! We were able to walk some trails around and enjoyed the peace of the area. Ms Tammy and Mr Sam were very quick to communicate and very accommodating. Our family had an awesome time. Some driving areas are steep so it was helpful to have a 4wheel drive car. Overall, memorable experience for our whole family 💕

Amazing!

The little cabin was so adorable! The view was amazing. It was just the right amount of space for my family. The loft is very short so even my toddlers had to crouch down but they still loved sleeping and playing up there. The cabin cannot be found with gps. However, the instructions given by the hosts with the photos were very helpful! We only stayed two nights but did not want to leave.

Beautiful “Tiny” cabin!

The view was fantastic everything was cleaned and organized! It’s perfect for a minimalist stay! We didn’t get a chance to go to the Peace Pagoda near by but plan to return for a visit! The only thing I wish we were aware of is the rough road on the way up. We have a 4 door sedan that still made it up there to the cabin luckily we’re used to that kind of thing where we live. Otherwise we have absolutely no complaints! We enjoyed our stay!

BEST TRIP OF MY LIFE!!!

The property was a little difficult to find, but that’s because of how secluded it is. Once we found it, it was really simple to remember! ALSO I GOT ENGAGED ON THIS TRIP!! My fiancé proposed to me at the Peace Pagoda which is right up the hill from this cabin. I wish I could add pictures to this review to show how incredible the view really is from this cabin. I highly recommend this cabin for couples!!

Short Stay in the Smokies

This cabin met our needs perfectly. We were looking for a secluded location away from the tourist areas and this fit the bill. There were plenty of rustic roads and hiking trails to explore with our dog, including a hike up to the Peace Pagoda. We enjoyed taking a break from technology. The road up to the cabin is steep and we came in after dark and the cabin was hard to locate due to lack of GPS, however the owner was so nice to call us after we messaged her at midnight and helped us find our way. This is definitely a cabin for people looking for a more rustic, laid back experience.

Rustic and peaceful

The cabin was perfect for what we wanted. It was very quiet and peaceful to be out in the mountains. The cabin was awesomefor the price we paid. Great for 2-4 people, smaller cabin. The loft area is mainly just sleeping quarters. The roads leading up to the cabin are rocky back roads, better with AWD or 4 wheel drive. We did manage with FWD. The best part was to be able to take a nice hike to the Peace Pagoda, which is absolutely beautiful and a must see. Travel to Galinburg or Pigeon Forge takes about 45 minutes, which was perfectly fine with me...mostly back curvy roads with beautiful scenery. Would definitely stay again. Thank you for allowing and sharing your cabin home with us!!!

What makes this property unique

Newport, Tennessee, at the base of the Great Smoky Mountains, is a charming town with a rich history and natural beauty. Founded in the 1790s along the Pigeon River, it was a key stop on the Great Indian Warpath and home to early settlers who built forts against Cherokee raids. By 1834, it had a brick courthouse, stores, and taverns. The Cocke County Museum displays its history with artifacts and stories of Native Americans and early settlers.

Newport is steeped in Appalachian traditions, linked to moonshine, moon pies, and Gatorade. Downtown’s Fruit Jar Alley shop offers local crafts and décor, evoking nostalgia.

Nature lovers visit Newport for its proximity to the Smoky Mountains and Douglas Lake. Activities include hiking, waterfalls, whitewater rafting on the Pigeon River, and exploring wildlife-rich forests.

Newport’s special charm lies in its warm, welcoming community spirit, creating a hometown feel. It combines heart, heritage, and natural beauty, leaving a lasting impression.
