❤ Cozy Log Cabin w/Stunning View! Waterfall, 3 Fireplaces, Arcade, Stocked!

Whether you are looking for a relaxing escape or a cozy base camp for adventure, this lovingly maintained and cared for log cabin has it all. Enjoy hot coffee on your private balcony attached to the Master suite or enjoy a crackling fire with a nightcap in front of one of your three wood burning fireplaces. Take a hike down the Troll Trail or stride down Fairy Lane to your own outdoor stage area with a large fire pit. Ready for adventure? Pack a water bottle and grab your hiking stick, then follow the nature trail to your own hidden eighteen-foot-tall waterfall and spacious natural swimming area!

Privacy at its finest! Being on 4.5 acres, and adjacent to National Forest Service Land in the heart of the Smoky Mountain wilderness, you'll find yourself surrounded by trees, hummingbirds, and crisp mountain air. The retreat is newly updated and furnished with 3 bedrooms and 2 ½ baths, plus a sleeper sofa in the living room. Each sleeping area comes with a Dohm Sound Conditioner, high thread-count sheets, and the most luxurious mattresses available. Enjoy dinner while listening to the intoxicating sounds of nature on your spacious verandah with teak dining table. A fully enclosed porch surrounded by windows is ideal for keeping cozy on snowy winter nights. The living area welcomes you to relax and read a book, complete a puzzle or unwind with a movie.

Everyone will enjoy the over 4,500 games on the brand-new full size 4 player arcade (multicade). So many games to choose from, including Pac-Man, Frogger, Tetris, Super Mario Brothers, Contra, Joust, Burger Time, Donkey Kong and hundreds of other classics.

Serene setting with beautiful views from the lower and upper deck. Well shocked home with everything you need for your home away from home. Garage access and fitness equipment a plus. Conveniently located to great restaurants, shopping, hiking, and picturesque waterfalls including a waterfall on the property. The hike to the waterfall is quite challenging, but worth it!

A Perfect Place

My wife & I celebrated our 29th anniversary. The cabin is spacious and very comfortable. Had everything we needed. The lot is easy to get too and the property and views are terrific. I am 62 and the hike down to the water fall was a little tough on my knees going down but no problem coming back up. The climb is a little steep. The water Fall is amazing and worth the hike.

Waterfall Adventure

What an adventure! The waterfall hike on the property is super cool, and quite a workout for people from flatland. The cabin is comfy and cozy. The kids loved the arcade. The property is on a cliff, and the yard is straight down from the house. It is secluded, so no worries of neighbors looking in, but a bit eerie with no curtains or blinds.

Great Family Escape

Loved our time in the cabin. The property was clean and as advertised. Paved road all the way to the driveway (which was unpaved, but easy). Hike to the on-property waterfall is a nice bonus. Our family had a wonderful Thanksgiving stay!

Amazing Escape!

This place was everything we could have asked for. Beautiful views, lots of space, and easily the most well-stocked, turn-key vacation rental we’ve ever stayed at. There’s a beautiful waterfall on the property that was great to hike to, and our kids loved the tree house, the arcade, and all of the board games and toys. Perfect for a family getaway.

We really enjoyed staying at the cabin. We hiked down to the private waterfall almost every day we were there. It was great having a private waterfall and swimming area.... make sure to take a walking stick to help along the trail... you will need it. Cabin and property were beautiful. I loved the fact they had sound machines in everyroom. The Arcade was pretty fun to play as well. Overall great place to stay!

Family Vacation

We spent 7 days in the mountains and thoroughly enjoyed our trip. The property manager was very informative and quick to respond to any questions we had. The location of the house was perfect for all the things we wanted to do. The house was just as described and had everything we needed. The view from both decks was picture perfect. We spent many mornings and nights enjoying the outdoor space.
