About this property

Private/secluded & Sanitized in Mature Woods by Park short walk to Creek Pets OK

Secluded pet friendly Cabin in mature woods, within feet of the Park! Located on 10 private acres and just a short walk to Greenbrier Creek coming out of the park, that flows into (about 1 mile), Cosby Creek that is stocked with trout. Fishing is OK without a license on site. Cabin is furnished, full size stove/oven, fridge,coffee maker, micro, tub/shower combo in bathroom, queen bed upstairs (spiraling staircase not suited for those with mobility problems). It has it`s own fire pit, picnic tbl., hammock and BBQ grill. Located in Cosby, Tn. A little unincorporated, rural community just 17 miles NE of Gatlinburg. There are two, separate, common areas on the creek with picnic tbl., hammock and fire pit for your enjoyment! The scenic, mountain, relatively undeveloped, no red light drive in to Gatlinburg takes 20-25 min. About 40-45 min. to drive into Pigeon Forge/Dollywood or Sevierville. private road circles the interior of the property through the woods and flower vegetable garden area. We have a less traveled entrance into the park just 3 miles The Cosby Trailhead Campground Entrance. There are 7 restaurants, one, highly recommended Carvers Apple House, 2 Dollar General stores within a 5 mile radius and a Wal Mart 15 miles (20 min.) in a small,, non tourist town, Newport, Tn. For those who might have interest in Western N.C., Maggie Valley, Cherokee, Hot Springs, Waynesville is only 45 min. and Asheville/Biltmore is 1hr. 10 min. Interstate I-40 is only 8 miles from us, 6 miles over the mountain, through the park, with scenic overlooks, via The Foothills Parkway. Perfect location to enjoy the Great Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee or Western North Carolina without having to change lodging!

It was great but the creek didn't run anywhere close to us as it showed in the pictures. They need to thin out some smaller trees and clean up close to cabin.

Cool little cabin

We really enjoyed our stay in this rustic little cabin (with our 9-year-old dog). It's an older cabin, but has been well maintained, has character, is clean, and is in a great location. We loved how quiet and private it is. The bed linens were fresh and clean and there were plenty of clean towels in the bathroom. Chris met us on the road as we arrived and gave us helpful info for accessing the cabin and path to the creek. I took off one star only because the water temperature in the shower fluctuated between hot and cold. We'd definitely stay here again on our next visit in this area.

Simple

We enjoyed our stay at the Honeymoon Cabin. We enjoyed the scenic drive into Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. The cabin was simple, we didn’t need much because we mainly were out and about at Dollywood/Gatlinburg. We saw one bear on the property on our way back in one evening! There is a coffee shop nearby that’s in a laundry mat (about 2-4 miles down the road) we’d grab a warm coffee and enjoy the drive into Gatlinburg. My only complaint is the shower was not hot. It would be warm then turn cold intermittently. That could be fixed though. We never used the fire pit, but that looked super nice. This cabin is for enjoying the outdoors. It’s not luxurious for a glamper and that is what made it the best for us.

Dirty..rotten Tomatos cat litter everywhere.

The owner was rude. When we told him about it being dirty he told us he had something in his pocket that would put us under the ground. Would not give us a refund and we told him we would just go on and stay, he refused to give us the key to the cabin. Had to go get a motel room.

Cozy rustic cabin in woods

Set in the woods. Clean and great porch to relax after all the craziness of Dollywood etc. Chris our host was great and left extra towels throughout stay. A little walk to to creek which was so pretty. Not fancy but just perfect, with all that you need.

Secluded in the woods

The cabin was nicely located away from the hustle and bustle of nearby Gatlinburg. Poor lighting in the living room. Cabin needs to be sprayed fir bugs.....had numerous bugs inside. Outside area around the cabin needed some attention, i realize its a cabin but it can still be eye appealing. Over all, enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. Enjoyed the porch swing very much.

Awesome tiny cabin!

We wanted a secluded and cozy cabin for mine and my husbands honeymoon and this cabin did not disappoint! It was wonderful enjoying early mornings and evenings listening to the sounds of nature but we were close enough to all the amenities that it wasn't inconvenient. There are 2 Dollar Generals within 2 miles for quick grocery runs and a Walmart less than half an hour away. There is so many things to do and see around the area outside of Gatlinburg. This is perfect for someone that likes being in nature and away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The cabin was slightly dated but very clean. The owner was very nice and gave several good recommendations on food. The gardens are beautiful as well.

Great rustic cabin

Had a great time at this rustic little cabin. It is very secluded and a great location to be able to explore with the dogs. Chris was super friendly and a great help on tips for things to do in the area. Would definitely recommend to someone wanting something off the beaten path, looking for something more secluded and in touch with nature. If the “resort” setting with fancy jacuzzi tubs and such is more what you’re looking for, you might look elsewhere, but don’t be surprised when it costs twice what this cabin does, and does not have the privacy and peacefulness of the Garden of Eden.

Perfect Outdoor Getaway

The cabin was great brought me back to my younger days when I'd take trips without kids. It's perfect for just one plus. Has everything you need except garbage bags. Can purchase firewood on site, creek has nice access once you find it, lots of scenery, creatures, and the best part is at night sitting by the fire and listening to the creek that flows on the property. Has a small water fall. I drove a 2010 Camaro down didn't realize it would be such a tight squeeze (branches) and the drive was gravel, we still made it no problem and it rained. I would go back just next time in a different car with garbage bags and we will be back¡!

Only two working outlets! No creek!

False advertising! Creek is not right next to the fire pit as pictured! Walked and explored but never could find the creek! No firewood (listing says firewood provided!) No table to eat at , two towels for two people staying 5 nights! Dirty sheets, dirty couch, spiders in the bathroom! Only plus was the location, hidden in the woods .

Why they chose this property

Because it borders the National Park on 2 sides & has a large mountain creek that comes out of the park with mature forest having wildflowers, mushrooms, fauna, Rhododendron, Mountain Laurel & wildlife. Knowing property bordering the park would never be developed. Don't guess need to say more.

What makes this property unique

Makes for a wonderful stronghold with land to grow food access to clean water with fish. wildlife for food, one way in & out with 1.9 million acres (The GSMNP & 3 Nat`l. forest, Nantahala, Pisgah & Cherokee) in my back yard
