Amazing stay

The property was beautiful.All of the cabins were placed to where you really can't see each other. It actually gave me a lot of wonderful ideas. Great spot for a couples get away. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer.

Best Mini Vacation Getaway

I had such a great time getting away at the Tiny Owl Cabin! The Stuetz Team went above and beyond from beginning to end. The communication and amenities were perfection. The beautiful scenery of the wooded mountains, the hot tub, and relaxing sitting area by the pond and creek were enough for me to not need to go anywhere during my stay. However, I did leave a couple times. One being to get a wonderful massage from thwir professional Therapist Peggy. Leaving feeling truly blessed by this overall experience. Thank you Tammy, Sam, and Peggy! Hoping to meet again when I come back :)

Cozy, cute getaway

I was looking for a small place to stay for 2 nights and this tiny cabin was ideal. I patricularly enjoyed the hot tub and location as I wasn't interested in staying near a crowded area. Enjoyed the nearby trails. It was an easy 40-45 min drive to the Gatlinburg area to explore downtown and other attractions in the Smokies.

Perfect for a romantic getaway

My husband and I came down to stay for a few days to celebrate our honeymoon, and had the best time. We were looking for a cabin near the Smokies that was affordable, and this was perfect for just the two of us. The cabin had everything we needed, and the hot tub and campfire area were wonderful. I would definitely come down and stay here again!

Nice but bad AC

The location was very nice however the AC was not powerful enough, causing the Bedroom area to be very hot. Unfortunately, the bathroom caused the pool cabin to have a sewage smell.

Amazing stay at the Tiny Owl!

We loved our stay at the Tiny Owl! It is a very small cabin but worked great for us as we were out and about all day and only came back to the cabin to make dinner and sleep. We really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after being in the cold all day. There are other cabins around but it still feels very secluded and off the beaten path! I would highly recommended staying in the Tiny Owl for anyone on a budget. We will most definitely be back in the future to check out the other cabins on site!

About the host

Hosted by Tammy and Sam

Host profile image
Please allow us to introduce ourselves. We are Sam and Tammy ; We ourselves were once visitors to The Great Smoky Mountains. Sam is a native Swiss/German and had always the idea to offer and operate a “back to the basics” or Vacation retreat “holiday on a family owned and operated Farm”. We traveled all over the US to see where we want to settle. It took only one visit to realize that this is where we wanted to live, work and raise our children. We went back and forward , sold our home/company and moved to what we think is a most extraordinary place.
We are extremely proud to own and operate Stuetz Mountain Retreat, where you will receive top notch personal attention to make your stay a memorable one.
Each of the cabins we build from a kit or from scratch. All measures have been taken to provide all the comforts of home to make your stay as comfortable and authentic as possible. Click on the Cabins tab and take a tour of the available cabins. Each cabin has a list of amenities sure to please any vacationer and adventure seeker. We hope you enjoy The Great Smoky Mountains and this peace of paradise alone or with your family as much as we have.

In our life, it has been clear that nothing comes easily. We are happy that we took the hard road in many areas to develop and maintain our land, knowing that this efforts will eventually produce better results. Since we are family owned and operated we also maintain a self-sustainable lifestyle. Instead of using disposable products constantly, Sam and Tammy aims to use recyclable and reusable alternatives, even though they often require more effort.
Enjoy your stay with us!
