★ LOCATION: Conveniently located near Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Arts and Crafts, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and Sevierville, our vacation rental offers both accessibility to attractions and a secluded mountain cabin experience.
★ PROPERTY: Set on several wooded acres, our custom-built all-log cabin provides tranquil wooded views and features an outdoor fire pit (firewood not provided). Situated on a quiet residential street, the cabin offers easy access via paved roads and driveway, with ample off-street parking for 4+ cars.
★ INTERIOR: Appalachian Escape Cabin combines traditional and modern elements, with hand-hewn hemlock log walls, exposed beams, gleaming hardwood floors, and rustic log furniture. Designer pine cone motif light fixtures accentuate the all-log interior.
★ Main Floor: Cozy up by the stone-clad two-sided fireplace that extends from floor to ceiling. Enjoy entertainment on a Smart 48" HDTV, play games on a rustic log pool table, or relive the past with classic 80s arcade games.
The modern kitchen with soft-close cabinetry and stainless steel appliances connects seamlessly to the spacious dining area. Custom chiseled-edge granite countertops and a large island offer ample seating and prep space. The dining room features a fireplace and a farm-style table for 10 guests, with additional seating for 6 at the kitchen island.
★ Second Floor: Find a King bedroom with a memory foam mattress and another "family" bedroom with two Queen beds and two narrow twin daybeds. Each bedroom includes a Smart TV with all the popular channels. A full bathroom with a walk-in shower and a separate jetted tub adds to the comfort. Winter months feature heated bathroom floors in both the main floor and upstairs bathrooms.
★ OUTDOORS: Enjoy the serenity of the Smoky Mountains with wooded and seasonal mountain ridge views. Relax on the full-length covered porch's rocking chairs, dine outside on the picnic table, or gather around the yard's charcoal grill and fire pit. A 5-person hot tub is perfect for unwinding after a day of adventures. Kids will love the "little log cabin" playhouse built from trees on the property.
Discover your dream vacation at Appalachian Escape Cabin, whether you seek relaxation or nearby attractions. Downtown Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, the Aquarium, zip lines, and more are easily accessible.
★ WHAT MAKES BLUE MOUNTAIN CABINS DIFFERENT?
✦ Private ownership: Appalachian Escape Cabin is owned by and cared for by a veteran and his wife.
✦ Traditional meets modern: Our cabin blends rustic touches with today's amenities.
✦ One-of-a-Kind: The cabin that you will be staying in is a unique, non-cookie-cutter build. Owners personally crafted and restored many furniture and decor pieces for that mountain style.
✦ Personalized Service: Deal directly with owners who know the cabins and the area - not third-party intermediaries.
✦ Cost Savings: Booking direct means the best value and best rates with no "service" or "booking" fees that sites like Airbnb or Vrbo charge. Save more when you pay by check or bank transfer.
✦ Flexible Payment Options: Make an initial booking deposit, then contribute as much or as often as you like (for advance bookings) until the due date at no additional cost to you.
