Smoky Mountain Hideaway is a large, open concept log home situated on 7 1/2 private acres about a half mile from the National Park. While the spectacular views of the Smoky Mountains are the main attraction, the house has 3,200 square feet of living space and offers a lot of individual privacy for larger groups. It is great as a final destination for sitting on the porch, watching the mountains and visiting with friends and family or as home base for other activities such as riding the Dragon. If you're very lucky you might even see a bear or bobcat from the porch in addition to the deer, coyotes and wild turkeys that are more frequent visitors.

It is 5 minutes from great hiking trails inside the Park, fly fishing along Abrams Creek or paddling on Lake Chilhowee. It's only 10-15 minutes to the Tail of the Dragon, the Foothills Parkway and the Look Rock observation tower. If you're hankering for the crowds, it's an 80-90 minute drive to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg along the Foothills Parkway. The views from the Foothills Parkway are amazing!

The house sleeps 10 comfortably in the 4 bedrooms and there's plenty of privacy with 3 modern baths. We also have a futon with extra bedding in the downstairs living area. The house has 160 feet of covered porches facing the mountains which are equipped with ceiling fans and plenty of outdoor seating including two porch swings. A fully paved driveway and two car garage make it ideal for motorcycle groups riding the Tail of the Dragon and the Foothills Parkway. There's also room on the grass to park trailers

There's a gas grill and extra propane tanks in the garage for outdoor cooking and the large gourmet kitchen is fully outfitted, except for food. We have a large fully equipped laundry room as well. Many guests say the kitchen and house are the best equipped vacation rentals they've ever stayed in.

Because of our remote location there is no cell phone service around the cabin. We do offer free WiFi and land line phone service. You can do WiFi calling as well.

After a hard day of sightseeing or riding the Dragon you can kick back and watch your favorite shows or movies on YouTube TV, Netflix, and Hulu. We have lots of old movies for the DVD players as well. Or just sit on the fully covered full-length porch, listen to the whippoorwills, coyotes and Mill Creek while you watch the gorgeous mountain sunsets. There are also books, magazines and tons of board games. We have an awesome natural stone fire ring and a wood pile up behind the cabin for an evening of S'mores or story telling.

Although it is not ADA compliant, the main floor of the house is easily accessible for people with limited mobility. The driveway, garage and main floor of the house are on the same level with no steps. The house is not baby proof, but we do have a high chair, portable safety gates, a booster seat, step stools and a folding porta-crib.

We have a liberal cancellation policy.

No pets and no smoking are allowed inside the house.

Please take good care of our vacation home. We're not a corporate vacation rental management company.

The house is very close to both the Tail of the Dragon and the Cherohala Skyway. If you have motorcycles, the garage can easily fit six (thats how many we had). House was everything they listing stated. Beautiful overlook.

Stunning cozy family stay

First the view is absolutely beautiful. It was so nice to sit out on the deck in the morning and at night. Our kids got to play with the lizards. They were friendly and loved being held. The layout of the home is perfect. David & Susan put their heart into every detail to make the home feel so cozy. Form Christmas decorations to a fully stocked home with every utensil,small and big appliances. Sooo many blankets for comfort you name it. They had Wi-Fi and streaming Chanel’s which was awesome for the kids when it was downtime. They even had a stock of books, games boards, and coloring utensils for families.David & Susan also stayed in contact up with us and any concerns and quick to respond. If you are looking for a mountain get away with family or kids I highly recommend their beautiful home. You will not be dissapointed

Outstanding property and outstanding owner/manager

The view from the balcony and from the main room are outstanding. The owner graciously provides necessities for running the household for the duration of the visit: dishwasher pods, laundry detergent, towels, shampoo, etc. This is not only a beautiful and relaxing environment, but one of quality and generosity as well. We LOVE it here.

Beautiful Mountain Home

Thanks for sharing your home with us. It was so clean and was decorated beautifully. This home was well stocked from the kitchen to the bathrooms to the laundry room. It had everything we needed for a great weekend with friends. The mountain views were amazing and we loved watching the deer and wild turkeys as well as the hummingbirds that visited the porch. We would definitely recommend this place and give it 5 stars!

Beautiful Views and the comforts of home

The mountain views from the porch are breathtaking. We spent a few mornings enjoying the sunrise and viewing birds, deer, and rabbits from the porch. The kitchen is well-equipped if you choose to cook. The home also has DVDs, board games, extra pillows and blankets, laundry pods, and other details that help make it a home away from home. We look forward to another trip soon!

Beautiful! Hope to return someday.

This was a perfect home base for a family wedding in Maryville. The beautiful home, scenery, and nearby attractions were a bonus. The floor plan includes spacious public areas and privacy to accommodate multiple families. It worked well for everyone, from our 84-year-old mother to our 15-year-old nephew!

Exceptional Experience!

We were immediately taken in by the beauty of the setting and the scenery! Then on the inside, every detail was tastefully and thoughtfully in place. All of the interaction with the owner was seamlessly proficient, personal, and professional. We were each refreshed and blessed by the overall experience, including the affordability. The Drummonds treated us like good friends and we greatly appreciated it.

Fantastic Family Getaway

The house was great! We have a large family with 6 kids (ages 20, 18, 18, 14, 13, and 16 months) and the house was a great size. The views from the porch were amazing! The house isn’t baby-proof, but they had a baby monitor, pack-n-play, high chair, booster seat, and a baby gate for the stairs. We stay in rental homes a couple of times a year and this cabin was the most well-stocked that we have ever been in. There were tons of extra towels, pillows, and blankets. The pantry was stocked with staples and coffee. They had tons of board games, puzzles, and books. The owners communicated everything we needed to know and the entry process was easy.

Annual girl’s trip

Every year my mom aunt and sister take a trip to the Smokies. Although my sister was unable to make this year. We had a great time and the cabin was wonderful. Secluded quiet and away from the crowds and tourist traps. Yet close enough to our favorite places in the park. This cabin is the perfect place for a family gathering

Amazing value, location, communication, and amenities!

The house is in a beautiful location with a long range view of the mountains off the back porch. The house is fully stocked—the best I’ve ever stayed in—and felt like home. Communication with the owner was excellent, all the information we needed to enjoy our stay was provided in a timely fashion. I would definitely stay here again!

Perfect!

Wow! What a place. The views are excellent, it was quiet except for my grandson. He loved the bunk beds. You have everything you need to cook and serve a meal. the gas grill had more than enough fuel. We really enjoyed everything about the place. I will trade quiet and peaceful for being close to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg any day. Besides the drive to PF and Gatlinburg was very scenic. Don't know what else to say except we'll be back, this time in the fall when the leaves change. Great place for a family! Thank you David and Susan for allowing to use your place.

About the host

Hosted by David Drummond

Host profile image
My wife and I are retired and live in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. We purchased this cabin in 2016 as a vacation home because we love being in the mountains. We enjoy the outdoors and activities such as hiking, bird watching and just sitting on the porch and watching the ever changing sky. If you look through our gallery, you'll see a few of the sunrise/sunset photos we've taken from the porch.

Why they chose this property

We love the spectacular mountain views, the open layout of the house and the peace and quiet. With all the windows and covered porches you can have a very enjoyable day just sitting on the porch and watching the mountains and sky even if it's a rainy day. The location is also very private and gives us a real sense of being away from it all. During the spring and summer the whippoorwills serenade you every night and sometimes the coyote too. You can hear Mill Creek tumbling down the mountainside almost year 'round and the wind blowing through the pines at any time.

What makes this property unique

If you want to come and relax in a modern log cabin surrounded by nature with spectacular mountain views this is the place for you. We have free wifi if you feel you have to stay in touch.
