๐ ๐๐ฑ๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ & ๐ ๐ผ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ป is a traditional Gatlinburg log cabin that seamlessly blends rustic appeal with modern comforts. 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 MayโSept) 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 (OctโApr, weather permitting). Whether making new family memories or reliving nostalgic moments, our guest reviews say it best - Mudpuppies is the perfect getaway!

Mudpuppies & Moonshine Cabin is not a typical rental managed by a big company. We are small (only 4 properties), family owned & operated, and we're always as close as a call, text, or email. We're certain you'll enjoy your stay at Mudpuppies & Moonshine Cabin just as much as we do. When you compare Mudpuppies & Moonshine Cabin to others of similar size, you'll see how much we strive to make it affordable, relaxing, and enjoyable!
Mudpuppies & Moonshine Cabin is in beautiful Mountain Shadows Resort within the city limits of Gatlinburg. There are cameras at the resort entrance, adjacent cabins, and on the front porch of the cabin showing the front porch and parking in front of the cabin. The surveillance devices may capture video and audio. No cameras inside the cabin or any that intrude on private space. Cabin has parking for 3 vehicles. No campers, RVs, or trailers are permitted in the resort. Security deposit, ID verification, and signed rental agreement are all required.
Mudpuppies & Moonshine Cabin is perfectly located for your vacation adventure. Your mountain vacation awaits!

About the host
Hosted by April and Dave

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.
