Location: Gatlinburg, Tennessee
Plan your next family vacation, bachelor trip, or girls weekend in the Smoky Mountains at Hen Wallow Creek Cottage. This 3-bedroom, 2 ½-bath vacation rental is tucked away in the countryside of the Smokies with lush trees all around and a babbling creek running through its flat, green yard. This mountain vacation home is a beautiful and serene escape from the hustle and bustle of downtown Gatlinburg, less than 18 miles away.
As a ranch-style cottage, this Gatlinburg cabin offers a more accessible design, a flat, paved driveway, and plenty of space to enjoy the peace of the Smokies inside and outside. Along with exciting add-ons — like a ping pong table, a screened patio with rockers, and a steamy hot tub — you’ll have all the homey amenities expected with Cabins for YOU. Take advantage of the fully equipped kitchen, comfortable living room with a fireplace, TVs in the bedrooms, free Wi-Fi, a washer/dryer, and keyless entry.
Plus, there’s an indoor jetted tub for spa baths anytime, a DVD player for movie nights together, a charcoal grill and outdoor table for meals set in nature, and a mix of 1 king, 1 full, and 2 twin beds. Plan for a peaceful Smoky Mountain retreat with the whole family or a small group of friends at this secluded Gatlinburg cabin rental.
Living Room
As soon as you step inside your creekside cottage in Gatlinburg, you’ll be struck by its eclectic design. Antique pieces paired with modern accents fill the living room. You’ll find a large, red leather couch alongside 2 padded glider chairs. Between these chairs is a modern stone-set fireplace — the perfect place to warm up in the Smoky Mountains on chilly evenings.
Also enjoy extra seating, a large ottoman, reading lamps, a flatscreen TV, and a DVD player in this welcoming space. After a long day of shopping for Appalachian souvenirs, exploring museums along the Parkway, or hiking to waterfalls in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, you’ll appreciate a cozy living room to unwind.
Kitchen
Featuring oak-colored cabinets and stainless steel appliances, the full kitchen at your Gatlinburg vacation home is bright, open, and airy, offering you a comfortable place to prepare all your favorite homemade meals while you’re away. Stop by the Gatlinburg Farmers Market on your way to the cozy cabin and pick up all the seasonal fruits and vegetables you know your group will love.
Essentials provided include a double-door refrigerator, dishwasher, electric range, standard drip coffeemaker, microwave, and toaster. You’ll also have pots, pans, dishes, cutlery, glasses, and mugs so you can pack light. Take advantage of all that your Gatlinburg cabin has to offer for fresh, budget-friendly meals on your Smoky Mountain vacation!
Dining Room
With the personal touches and beautiful design of the dining room, your group will appreciate eating together in this inviting space. Sit down at the large cherry table with antique finished chairs overlooking the trees outside. There’s also a large hutch, a separate China cabinet, and overhead lighting for an intimate meal with the family away from the hectic pace of work and school schedules back home.
Dining earlier in the day around the dining room table, you can enjoy natural light streaming through the French doors — enough to brighten the whole room and give you serene wooded views with every bite. In the evenings, pour a round of Ole Smoky Moonshine to enjoy with friends while playing board games or cards, putting together a puzzle, or munching on Appalachian fudge.
Rec Room — Garage
Adding to the fun at your creekside cabin in Gatlinburg is the rec space in the large 2-door garage. Here, you can play ping pong with friends or the kids in a game room, lounge on the sofa with a craft brew, or unwind with your partner in the chairs. On nice days in the Great Smoky Mountains, open the garage doors for an indoor/outdoor hangout spot.
Bedrooms
Whether you’re enjoying a Gatlinburg vacation with family or a mountain getaway with friends, having your own space to relax is ideal. At your 3-bedroom cabin, each bedroom offers homey furnishings, a TV, a ceiling fan for added comfort, and cozy bedding. Plus, there are 2 full bathrooms and 1 half bathroom for added convenience.
The primary suite comes with a king-size bed, a private bath with an indoor jetted tub, and French doors leading to the deck with the hot tub. The second bedroom features antique furniture, including a writing desk, a full-size mirror, and a full-size bed. And the final bedroom has 2 twin-size beds with a writing desk in between.
Outdoor Spaces
Boasting a flat, spacious yard with a wooden footbridge crossing a flowing creek to yet another open space, Hen Wallow Creek Cottage is ideal for spending quality time in the great outdoors whether you’re visiting Gatlinburg in summer, fall, winter, or spring! Host a hillbilly golf tournament, play ball, set up yard games brought from home, dip your toes in the creek, or simply enjoy a wondrous walk with loved ones.
Plus, you’ll have an open deck with a charcoal grill for cookouts, a second deck with a steamy hot tub for soothing soaks in a tree-studded setting, and a screened patio that connects all 3 outdoor spaces. On the patio, gaze at the towering trees and calming creek, sip drinks in the rocking chairs, and enjoy outdoor dining at the table.
To note for travel, the flat, paved driveway at your Gatlinburg rental is motorcycle friendly with plenty of parking for your small group.
