About this cabin rental

Note: No scary, steep mountain roads to traverse! Easy access off I-40. You will be staying only 2 miles off exit 412, which is only 4 miles from exit 407, the gateway to Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and The Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Be prepared to be awed! You’ve just found a little slice of heaven.

Stay next to a fully functioning 1798 grist mill. A rare piece of TN history

This 2 story, coziest of cabins on 3 secluded acres

Relax by your own private cascading creek. Cook out on the grill, picnic or warm up by the fire pit, all creek side. If you’re lucky, you might get a rare sighting of our resident family of six otters playing & diving for fish in the creek!

Dandridge (the 2nd oldest town in TN) scenic Douglas Lake, Pigeon Forge and The Smokies are close by.

Experience a place that, prior to being featured on the Discovery Channel, was known only to a few locals.

Privately tucked away in a 3 acre wooded hollow, is a place like no other. Driving in, the three story, fully functioning, authentic 1798 grist mill will greet, charm & fascinate. Note: Mill is not open to the public so you will have the property all to yourselves during your stay.

This property has been an iron forge, foundry; and a mill (for locals and moonshiners alike) for the past 225+ years. The cabin, hidden behind the mill, was built much later as a private residence. This property is now, for the first time in history, available for you to enjoy. By staying here you will also be contributing to the preservation and upkeep of this wonderful piece of history for future generations.

Hidden behind the mill is the cabin on Dumplin Creek. King & queen bedrooms upstairs, a newly remodeled bathroom downstairs, quaint kitchen, living room & hidden laundry.

If it couldn’t get any better than this, sit on one of the front porch rockers or swing and be relaxed by your own private cascading creek! Historic Dumplin Creek runs right through the middle of the property, has a 5ft deep swimming hole and is even known to have a fish or two. Explore the trail behind the cabin (at your own risk) where the old mill race runs, all the way to the sluice gate and dam, which is also part of this enchanting property.

Cook out on the grill, picnic, or roast marshmallows on the fire pit, all creekside.

Living away from it all, you may feel like Davy Crockett, and keep in mind that you are only a few minutes away from the second oldest town in Tennessee, one of the most scenic (& best fishing) lakes around and within a short drive to Pigeon Forge and The Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

With nature abounding, history and all the attractions that the area has to offer, what could be better? But, be forewarned, you may not want to leave.

Note: The inside of the old grist mill, located on this property, is not available to the public, nor (for safety reasons) is it available for our guests to go inside.

Relaxing, peaceful, beautiful. Our stay at the Old French Mill was exactly what we needed. The sound of the waterfalls, buzzing bees, and chirping birds was perfection. It feels incredibly private though just a short drive to the grocery store and downtown Dandridge. The cabin is quiet and cozy and stocked with everything you might need. I sat for hours with coffee and rocked on the porch watching the hummingbirds and enjoying visits from a giant blue heron and the neighboring farm’s adorable dog, Rucker. He was such a delight! The big old red mill begged to in a painting and I enjoyed doing that down by the creek as well as reading and napping down there on a blanket. If you’re craving a quiet getaway with beautiful surroundings, just book this wonderful property.

The property is beautiful and the waterfall is a dream! I loved sitting on the porch just listening to the water. The cabin is well made with nice decor and finishings. Owners are nice and very attentive. I definitely want to stay again! The only thing I would add is it needs a little more lighting, especially in the kitchen. And a hot tub would make it perfect! But, I don’t have to have those last items to stay. Thank you for the opportunity to share this property and to make great memories. It’s been a hard year and this is just what I needed!!

From the moment we turned in the drive and saw the mill and waterfall we knew we would enjoy our stay. It feels like you’re in the middle of no where yet you’re right off the road and interstate is only 2 miles away. With the sound from the waterfalls you don’t hear any noises around you. We spent all our time by the creek relaxing. Even caught a few small rainbow trout and Crawdads. The cabin had everything we needed. We plan on returning another time.
10.0 / 10.0
This place has everything you need. The nostalgia of the place is cool especially if you're into history. The falls are relaxing.
