About this property

Experience the Best of the Smoky Mountains at Our Creekside Log Cabin

Escape to the heart of the Smoky Mountains in our cozy, Creekside Log Cabin, nestled in a beautiful valley on a mountain stream. Located just minutes from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, this charming retreat offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comforts, with easy access to top attractions. The Smoky Mountain Park is right at your doorstep, creating a serene, nature-filled experience.

Tranquil Setting & Modern Amenities

Our cabin offers year-round relaxation, whether you're sipping coffee on the porch while listening to the gentle stream or enjoying a movie on the 50" LED TV. Featuring Wi-Fi, BBQ, and flat-screen TVs in every bedroom and the main living area, it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The sound of birds and the stream will make every moment peaceful.

Thoughtful Design & Spacious Layout

Main Level: One of the two master bedrooms with a king-sized custom red cedar log bed, matching dresser, and nightstand. A full bath is attached. The living room has a sleeper sectional, fireplace, and comfortable seating. The fully-equipped kitchen includes a refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, oven, and accessories like a toaster, coffee maker, and crockpot. The kitchen table seats 6. You can enjoy the sounds of the stream on the first covered porch.

Upper Level: The second master bedroom has a custom red cedar log set with an 8-drawer dresser, mirror, and full closet. This level also includes a full bath with a heart-shaped jet tub. Enjoy the slate-top pool table and a cozy sofa, and step out onto the second covered porch with chairs and a small table. A hot tub, surrounded by a privacy fence, offers ultimate relaxation.

Loft Level: Reach the loft via a beautiful custom pine log ladder. This space is perfect for kids or teenagers with a plush futon and an upright full-size video arcade machine featuring 60 classic games like Ms. Pacman and Donkey Kong. We’ve also provided popular board games for family fun.

Outdoor Adventure & Serenity

Whether you're unwinding in the hot tub or playing by the stream, our cabin offers a unique blend of outdoor fun and peaceful relaxation. Kids will love wading in the creek, and you can enjoy watching wildlife like bears, deer, wild turkeys, and red-tail hawks. The front of the cabin boasts large floor-to-ceiling windows with stunning views of the stream, allowing you to immerse yourself in nature.

Perfect Location, Easy Access

With easy access and no steep hills or driveways, our cabin is a breeze to find year-round—even during winter storms. You can be on the porch one minute and in Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge the next. Ample flat parking accommodates up to 3 vehicles, and the winding mountain road along the creek is perfect for joggers.

Year-Round Fun & Scenic Beauty

Every season brings new beauty to the cabin. In the fall, enjoy vibrant colors from the changing leaves. Winter offers a picturesque snowy view, while spring brings lush greenery, and summer invites you to cool off in the stream or nearby river.

Our guests rave about the quality family time spent here. Whether it's a romantic retreat, a fun family getaway, or a peaceful escape, our cabin creates unforgettable memories.

Location was great! Close to Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge. The boys loved the creek & we got to see a black bear roaming around one morning. The cabin was a good layout however some hooks in the downstairs bathroom would be nice to hang towels on. And hooks in the bedroom downstairs would have come in handy as there was no where to store or hang clothes in that room. I know it’s out of the owners control on who cleans but I feel like the downstairs bathroom could have been cleaned better & the oven had a pan of burnt food left in it. Overall it was a great stay & we will be back.

Great cabin!

We loved the cabin community and peaceful creek running through the property. The check in process was simple and the property owners were responsive and kind. They accommodated our three pups. They really loved jumping in the creek and watching the frogs and fish. They left plenty of coffee for the week and the local snacks were such a sweet touch. We will be back!

Wonderful Cabin, Amazing Hospitality

The cabin was nice and cozy. The location was perfect and centrally located to Dollywood and Gatlinburg. The owners were so friendly and helpful. The kids loved playing in the creek while we grilled. We enjoyed the cabin and our time in Pigeon Forge.

Great stay!

We chose this property because we have stayed here before and had a great experience! We love the atmosphere and the peacefulness of the property, yet it’s only 10 minutes from Pigeon Forge. There is a loft with games , a pool table and a hot tub so you can just hang out here in the evenings. The creek that flows through is awesome to sit out front and listen to in the evenings. Couldn’t ask for a better stay!!

Great location

Cabin is located in a good central location to both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge attractions. My kids enjoyed exploring the crystal clear stream. There are other cabins around the area, but it is not an issue and everyone was very friendly. The upstairs bathroom was separated from the main area by a curtain which did not feel very private, but that is the only complaint.

Mountain Joy

I am so sorry I forgot to write in the guest book! The cabin was adorable! We were so happy that there were Christmas decorations. The cabin was perfect for our family of 4. The bedrooms were cozy and comfortable. Our 8-year-old faced his fear of heights to get up to that loft and loved it! The huge, sturdy ladder was comforting for this Mama. We enjoyed Dollywood and all the Christmas lights! Thank you for sharing your cabin with us and we would love to come back!

Wonderful Creeekside Cabin

After looking online for many weeks I finally picked this cabin for our family vacation. I was not disappointed!!! My 10 and 5 year old absolutely loved the creek and roasting marshmallows over the fire pit. They caught a lot of crawfish. The cabin was very comfortable and we felt at home from the second we walked in. We have already started planning our next trip. Thank you to Tim and Alicia for opening up their wonderful cabin for us to enjoy. The communication from them was also great. The only bad thing was having to leave:)

Family vacation

Check in was super easy. We got there Monday evening. Tuesday was eventful. One of the worst rain storms the area had seen with flooding in pigeon forge and Gatlinburg. Both towns pretty much shut down (4 plus inches of rain) but the kids passed the time with the video games pool table and tv 😊. Wednesday and Thursday is when we went exploring. Playing putt putt and doing a little hiking. We mostly made breakfast at the cabin ate out a couple times for lunch and dinner. Over all it was a great experience and we even got a little snow. Would definitely rent here again!

Cabin

Upon arrival I was disappointed by the lack of communication about the power being out, I was also disappointed by not being provided with a way to track the power outage. However both contacts for the property were very responsive when we called to inquire about the power loss. The cabin it's self is spacious plenty of space for our two families. It was a little dusty but understandable since I'm sure it's coming out of the off season. The down stairs bed was more comfortable than the upstairs bed. I enjoyed sitting on the porch in the afternoons reading. I liked the location of the cabin it's perfectly positioned between the two cities and make for easy accessibility to either Piegon Forge or Gatlinburg. The neighboring properties are rather close to one another but it was still a quiet stay where we were able to enjoy nature without the disturbance of others. We would definitely stay at this cabin again in the future!

Disappointed After Arrival

I will start off with: if you are looking for something secluded or even semi-secluded, this property is NOT for you! If you are looking for privacy, this property is NOT for you! We are homeschooling parents of four children, we are also business owners and do not get away as often as we’d like. We booked this property in hopes of relaxing for a week and escaping work. When we first arrived we noticed the pictures had hid the other cabins very well. There are multiple cabins lined up and side by side. Not secluded in any way. Parking is on the other side of the creek. Walking in we noticed it was not the cleanest cabin. We expected a little dust but nothing near what we encountered. We continued upstairs excited to see the jacuzzi tub and was immediately let down. The tub is in the open, with just a curtain separating the tub, and the open room where the kids play pool. Not to mention the windows all the way around this open room are also open, no privacy whatsoever. You can see everyone in all the other cabins and they can see you. The king size bed was the most uncomfortable bed we have ever slept in. The hot tub would not heat and after getting in it just a couple of times we noticed the water started to turn colors. I’m assuming lack of chlorine. If you are taking a dog, be aware there are loose neighborhood dogs running around. Needless to say, we were extremely disappointed in our stay. We did not relax at all during our stay. Couldn’t sleep. And actually left a day earlier even though we paid for a whole week, we were just ready to leave.
