The Bruin Bin is a design-forward 440 sq ft container hideaway for couples who want more than a place to sleep — they want a feeling.
Hidden in the Smokies but dangerously close to adventure, this tiny home delivers big atmosphere. Spend your days chasing waterfalls in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, wandering Gatlinburg, or disappearing into the trees — then come back to a space built for slow nights and zero distractions.
Set the mood:
* Soak in your private hot tub under the stars * Rinse off in the outdoor shower surrounded by nature * Sink into a sunken loft bed designed for sleeping in (and staying up) * Sway on the bed swing with coffee in the morning or wine after dark * Warm up by the fireplace with curated lighting and intentional design
Every inch of The Bruin Bin is crafted to feel private, seductive, and intentional — modern lines, rich textures, and one-of-a-kind details you won’t find in a typical cabin rental.
Secluded, but never isolated You’re minutes from:
* Iconic Smoky Mountain hikes & waterfalls * Gatlinburg’s restaurants, breweries, and nightlife * Pigeon Forge attractions — when you want to rejoin the world
This is a place for anniversaries, surprise getaways, and weekends that blur together. A tiny home with serious chemistry.

My husband and I booked this rental for our anniversary. So glad we did!!! LOVED the decor and all the "extras" on site. Easy to find and not too far from Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg. Hosts made communication a breeze and were so thoughtful. This rental definitely added to a memorable anniversary and was worth our 6 hour drive. I can say this is one of my absolute top rentals we've ever booked. We will definitely be back!

Response from VrboOwner on 12 May 2025
Bonita was a fantastic guest! She told us she was celebrating an anniversary and we were honored she and her significant other chose to spend it with us! She was very communicative, kind and treated our property great. We look forward to hosting her again and adding a few more "extras" to the container home! We'd absolutely welcome her back!
About the host
Hosted by Rob & Dana
We're Rob & Dana, a couple from Dallas, TX who fell in love with the Smoky Mountain area but wanted a unique stay. When we couldn't really find something that catered to a couple's trip, when we visited without our children, we built one!
Why they chose this property
Cosby is quaint, quiet and a friendly neighborhood. The drive is scenic into Pigeon Forge with rippling creeks and even deer sightings. The road is flat (Rob is scared of heights) so the drive is easy no matter the time of the year.
What makes this property unique
All of it! The Bruin Bin is a mid-century modern inspired designer container home packed full of small, photo ready moments. From the outdoor shower, to the expansive deck and upstairs loft, each corner offers a surprise but cozy delight for a couple, small group or a solo adventure.
