About the host

Hosted by Kendra Jackson

Host profile image
My husband and I dreamed of owning a mountain cabin since our children were very young. Now, we’re fortunate to enjoy it with our children and six grandchildren, and we designed it to appeal to all ages—from the very young to teenagers and beyond.

We’re thrilled to share this special place not only with our family but also with you! We hope you’ll enjoy and cherish it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We have always loved the Great Smoky Mountain area and wanted to be close enough to enjoy its beauty, yet far enough to escape the tourist crowds. This property offers the best of both worlds—peaceful forest tranquility, breathtaking evening sunsets, and the convenience of being just a short drive to groceries, restaurants, and local activities.

Perched at an elevation of approximately 4,000 feet, it provides a cool and comfortable retreat, even during the hottest summer days.

What makes this property unique

Situated on 2.3 acres, this lot is larger than most, offering privacy and the feeling of being immersed in the forest. During the summer months, when the trees are full of leaves, it’s difficult to spot any other cabins through the foliage.

The backyard is especially private, making it the perfect spot to enjoy the fire pit and hot tub in complete seclusion!
