PROPERTY

Custom-built all-log cabin on several wooded acres with wooded and seasonal mountain ridge views. Located on a quiet residential street with only a few neighboring homes. The paved driveway and minimal steps to the front door make arrival and unloading easy.


INSIDE

Appalachian Escape  Cabin blends traditional craftsmanship with modern convenience. Hand-hewn hemlock log walls, exposed beams, hardwood floors, rustic log furniture, and pine-cone themed lighting create a warm, authentic Smoky Mountain atmosphere throughout.


MAIN FLOOR

Gather around the dramatic, floor-to-ceiling, stone-clad two-sided fireplace while relaxing on comfortable sofas. Enjoy your favorite shows on the 48” Smart TV or challenge friends to a game of pool. Relive classic arcade fun with Pac-Man, Centipede, and 48 vintage ’80s games.

The modern kitchen features soft-close cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, custom chiseled-edge granite countertops, and a large island with seating for six. The dining area includes a farm-style table seating up to 10 and its own cozy fireplace - perfect for shared meals and memories.

The main-level King bedroom features a comfortable memory foam mattress and direct access to a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a double vanity and walk-in shower. A full-size washer and dryer are also located on this level (starter detergent provided).


SECOND FLOOR

Upstairs includes another King bedroom with a memory foam mattress and a spacious family bedroom with two Queen beds (handcrafted by the owner) plus two narrow twin daybeds. Every bedroom has a Smart TV. The upstairs bathroom offers a walk-in shower, a separate jetted tub, and heated floors during the winter months.


PORCHES & YARD

Sip morning coffee in rocking chairs on the covered porch, dine outdoors at the picnic table, or unwind in the hot tub after a day of hiking and exploring. The landscaped yard features native plants and seasonal blooms - flame azaleas, pink lady slippers, and rhododendrons - creating a true Smoky Mountain experience. Evenings are perfect for s’mores around the backyard fire pit (firewood not provided).

Kids will love the charming “little log cabin” playhouse, built from trees harvested right on the property.


Whether you’re looking to disconnect and unwind or explore the area’s many attractions, escape to Appalachian Escape. Downtown Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, the Aquarium, zip lines, hiking, and more are all just a short drive away.
