Just minutes from downtown Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and a short drive to Pigeon Forge and Dollywood, this 2-bedroom plus loft, 2-bath retreat captures the essence of East Tennessee mountain living while offering investment appeal. Built in 2005 and offering approximately 1,286 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, this true log cabin features warm wood interiors, hardwood flooring, and an inviting two-story layout that maximizes comfort and functionality.
