About this property
Shady Creek: Creekside, Hot Tub, Firepit
Welcome to Shady Creek, your peaceful and playful Smoky Mountain escape! This large cabin offers the perfect blend of comfort, fun, and serenity — featuring 3 spacious bedrooms, multiple built-in bunk beds, and a layout that’s ideal for families or groups.
Settle in with the soothing sounds and dip your toes in the adjoining creek, unwind in the hot tub under the stars, or relax on the large deck surrounded by nature. Inside, kids will find their own mountain paradise with a dedicated game room, air hockey table, and an extra-large TV perfect for movie nights or gaming marathons.
Tucked away in the woods yet just minutes from downtown Gatlinburg and the national park entrance, Shady Creek combines the privacy of a secluded retreat with quick access to shops, attractions, and trails. Whether you're adventuring outside or cozying up indoors, this cabin has something for everyone — from peaceful mornings to unforgettable family fun.
