About this cabin rental
Take a break and unwind at this peaceful oasis. Quaint/rustic/secluded log cabin in the woods alongside a bubbling creek. You can listen to the gushing waters right from the deck creating a wonderful and relaxing atmosphere. Just a mile walk to your own private waterfall.
The space
The minute you pull into the driveway at Tranquil Creek you will view it's comfortable setting surrounded by trees and a rushing creek. As you step out of your car you will hear the sounds of the creek that stretches the entire length of the property boundary.
Upon entering the cabin you will immediately notice the fine natural cherry floors, pine wood construction and the sweet wood aroma that you would expect in a custom hand built mountain cabin. It is open, airy and spacious. It is truly a gem. With 2 Bedrooms and 2 baths, you will feel at home. One bedroom comes with an attached bath for privacy. The living room opens up to a well equipped kitchen where you can cook a sumptuous meal.
You can relax in the deck enjoying the view and sound of the creek. Listen to music, read a book, sip a cup of coffee in this beautiful setting.
Tranquil Creek Cabin is undoubtedly one of the most popular cabins available for guests who want to come and enjoy the wonders of the Great Smoky Mountains!
It's so peaceful you will forget all your worries and indulge in this peaceful oasis!!

The property was gorgeous and quiet and secluded. We loved the creek and the cabin is very spacious and comfortable. Loved the kitchen. It takes time and patience to get up and down the driveway/road up but it wasn’t bad in the fall. Just go slow and take your time. The view up is beautiful.

6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2025
The house was clean but the dishes were dirty. The towels were not fresh. There were only utensils for 4 so if you need a 5th fork bring your own. The listing is for the creek. You could barely see it or get to it because it was so overgrown. There were lots of wildflowers which was great for butterflies and hummingbirds. The owner said to contact him for directions to the waterfall but he never responded. I would suggest putting the direction with the sign about the waterfall. It sounded like it was part of the property. It is not. It isn't very far. It is a mile hike once you get there. It is rugged terrain but worth the climb.
