Accommodating up to 12 guests (max 8 adults), it offers a relaxing, family-friendly retreat with three spacious covered decks to enjoy nature. Located in a neighborhood-style resort (not secluded) near local attractions, restaurants, and Rocky Top Sports, the cabin provides convenient access to a walkable pool (open Mayโ€“Sept) and a nearby recreation area with another pool, basketball, swings, grills, and a reservable pavilion.

Enjoy endless entertainment with a pool table, shuffleboard, arcades, board games, and a cozy fireplace (Octโ€“Apr, weather permitting). Whether making new family memories or reliving nostalgic moments, our guest reviews say it best - Mudpuppies is the perfect getaway!

About the host

Hosted by April and Dave

Host profile image
Peaks & Palms Vacation Rentals is small and family owned & operated. We are hands-on owners and bring a sensible guest-minded approach to rates, updates, amenities, and style!
We have 3 log cabins in Gatlinburg, TN, the gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains; and a condo just steps away from the beach in Siesta Key!

We are frequent visitors to the Smokies and love all that is has to offer and are always ready to head back whether for hiking, viewing wildlife, taking our kids for walks in nearby creeks, go-carting, or just driving through the beautiful Smoky Mountain National Park to enjoy the scenery.

Why they chose this property

This was our 1st of 3 cabins in the same resort! We chose it because it is in a perfect location to enjoy the many activities available in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area. It is quiet and relaxing and feels like you are miles from hustle and bustle, yet it is minutes from everything. High enough to have a view, but no hazardous roads to navigate to get there! We liked the area so much, we purchased a second, only 4 cabins away from this one, and a 3rd in another part of the resort.

What makes this property unique

Mudpuppies & Moonshine is our flagship cabin and it shows! We are constantly working to improve our guest's experience with modern updates! A remodeled and well-equipped kitchen with new appliances! Clean bathrooms that have all been remodeled! If it is old, we'll update/remodel, if is broken, we'll fix it - we'll do everything we can to ensure you have a great time! Mudpuppies is located near the Arts & Crafts Community where you can spend hours (or maybe days) viewing and buying things from local craftspeople. We are also about a mile to Rocky Top Sports World. You can sit on the front porch or one of the back decks sipping coffee while you plan your day and enjoy the beauty of our cabin's location. Rather than the typical bear, fishing, or elk theme, we've opted for tastefully simple and local dรฉcor paying homage to the region as well as the cabin name and moonshine heritage of the Appalachian Mountains which include the Smokies. You will find moonshine distillery barrel lids and jars adorning the cabin!
This cabin has had all flooring replaced, a full kitchen remodel, all 3 bathrooms have been remodeled, all furniture replaced, and general dรฉcor updates to exceed your expectations.
