Tiny Owl Cabin – Tranquil Forest Retreat with Hot Tub and Creekside Setting

Welcome to the Tiny Owl Cabin, a charming forest hideaway nestled in Newport, Tennessee. Just a 35-40 minute drive from Gatlinburg and the breathtaking Great Smoky Mountains, this cozy cabin offers a unique getaway.

Part of a new wave of unique stays across the United States, the Tiny Owl Cabin is a compact space, under 180 square feet, that provides a cozy and primitive experience with modern comforts. Perched among the trees and overlooking a mountain stream nestled near the Cherokee National Forest, it’s the perfect escape for couples or solo travelers seeking a peaceful getaway.

The cabin comfortably sleeps two guests with a full-size loft bed. A sitting area and a small dining table accommodate two people. A fully equipped kitchen with a sink, mini fridge, stovetop, and ample storage ensures that you can prepare meals during your stay. A spacious bathroom with a stand-up shower and a TV/DVD player provides relaxation after a day of exploring.

Step outside and you’ll find a private gazebo with seating, perfect for enjoying the soothing sounds of the stream. A water feature and a pond area add an extra touch of tranquility to the outdoor space.

The cabin boasts a private hot tub, just steps away from the cabin, tucked away in the forest. Relax in your own private hot tub, surrounded by nature, listening to the flowing stream and unwinding after a day of exploring the Smokies.

The Tiny Owl Cabin seamlessly blends the beauty of the outdoors with the comforts of home, making it the ideal base for exploring the Smoky Mountains, hiking trails, and charming nearby towns.

Great secluded get away!

This cabin is absolutely adorable! It is well equipped for a 2 night stay. Secluded (though there are a few other cabins near by within walking distance it feels very private). The host is VERY responsive to all messages and also lives near by

I missed out

I’m sure the property is really great, but we booked the trip last minute and had rental car issues that made us miss out on our trip, which was non refundable. We do look for to coming there one day, hate we missed it, really needed it too.

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.

This is truly a tiny cabin, and we loved it! We got in later than expected, which means that we didnt get to enjoy the hot tub or the peaceful creek right out the door but it was perfect and i would love to return! I do recommend a vehicle with 4 wheel or awd, as there is unpaved access to the property, with some steep hills. I absolutely loved this stay, and highly recommend this to anyone who is in the area Communication with the host was not only easy, but they accommodated my change of plans and were beyond helpful.

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!

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.
