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.

Adventure Awaits

Located near all the major Smoky Mountain attractions, the cabin is ideal for shoppers, hikers, fly fishermen, horseback riders, skiers, and rollercoaster enthusiasts. Dollywood is just 10 minutes away, and Ober Gatlinburg Ski Resort is a short drive. Fly fish in the Gatlinburg streams or the wild ones in the park, or enjoy horseback riding just minutes from the cabin.

Quiet creekside close to town

This location was perfect between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. It was super easy to get to - and was not up high on a mountain!! The cabin had everything we needed - we cooked most of our meals there. We loved the coffee bar with supplies!! Our kids loved playing in the creek, swimming in the hot tub, and learning to play pool. It was an easy drive to both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge for activities.

Lovely cabin!

The property was great! The location is quiet and relaxing with the stream out front. The kiddos loved the pool table and video games. It’s a short drive to Gatlinburg while still being close to all the attractions in Pigeon Forge. This is our second time at Creekside Cabin and we will stay here again!

House review

House itself was great. Decorated beautifully and had all the amenities you could ask for. Water preasure was great with plenty of hot water. Tvs in every bed room and a nice pool table to hang out at. It was in a close location to both Gatlinburg and pigeon forge.. If im to have anything negative to say is that there was more heavy dusty area's than should of been and although its in a great location i was thinking the way it was advertised, it was a cabin by itself out in the woods without really any neighbors. We didn't have any problems with any neighbors though. Still a great place to stay!

Amazing property

Beautiful location and a well maintained cabin with all the amenities you would seek. The cabin is far enough away from the main roads so that it's incredibly peaceful. The babbling stream adds ambiance. We were even visited several times by a bear who liked walking the creek line and posing for photos (from a safe distance of course) The owners are communicative and friendly and the cabin is spacious and comfortable. Would stay again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for a fantastic vacation!!

Great cabin!

We absolutely loved this cabin. The location is excellent and it located in a quiet area. The ease of getting to the cabin was great. The cabin is adorable and looks just like the pictures. We loved the porch and the hot tub after a hike. Communication with the host was great. She was always so quick to respond. We will definitely be staying here again and will tell our family and friends about it.

Fun Getaway!

We had such a great time. We loved lounging in the seating areas and playing pool and the arcade game. The beds had different firmnesses (if that's even a word?) which was nice because one couple liked soft while the other liked more firm. So, it worked out for us. We would definitely rent again and recommend this place!

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!

Needs a deep clean

Pros: - location between gatlinburg and pigeon forge was very convenient - stream was great for kids to play in and easy to watch kids from the downstairs porch- this was the highlight of this house for us. My daughter turned 7 on our trip and loved playing in the stream. I loved sitting on the swing relaxing and keeping an eye on her - the kitchen was very clean Cons: - the house needs a deep clean- there was a lot of dust and cobwebs on the walls, nic nacks, etc. The windows were also fairly dirty which kind of messes with the view though i know it can be hard to keep pollen of windows. It gave a general feeling of uncleanliness & more of a rustic feel than I expect for a rental house. - plenty of towels but they were worn thin & could use replacing. The bath mats also looked old/ kind of dirty. - we tried to use the hot tub on the first night but it wasn't heated up so we went to use the jacuzzi tub. It was covered in dust and despite a quick rinse, there was still dirt floating in the water when we filled it so we gave up. The downstairs tub also had some dirt in it. That didn't bother me for a shower so much but it freaked my 7 year old out so much that she didn't want to shower. My husband was able to get the hot tub heated up for use later nights. - the upstairs bed is very firm (this could be a pro depending on your personal preference). We found the downstairs bed more comfortable (it was very soft). Some of the pillows were lumpy
