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.

This was my second stay and it was just as amazing as the first time and can't wait to be able to come back again.The privacy and the quietness, just me and nature, is what is most important to me. The drive to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area is not far. Take the scenic route by Douglas Lake. I do recommend bringing cash, a lot of local, small shops, are cash only. The local "hole in wall" places are usually a great find. The cabin has all of the essentials you need for home dining too. Just pack a bag. Quick hike up to the dam, the creek was flowing good but way too cold this time to put my toes in.

A beautiful, peaceful, special property. So glad we spent a week here. I miss having morning coffee on the porch, enjoying the waterfall and nature. We will be back!
