Shady’s Barn = Not Fancy – Just Right
When you are looking to get away from the crowded city life, escape to nature on a backroad dedicated to 4WD| AWD access and enter the peaceful zone of Shady’s Barn. Although there are other cabin rentals close by, Shady’s Barn and Saddle Ridge are perched on a tract of almost 20 acres of mountain glory. Nestled amongst the trees at the top of a ridge in a wooded section of a forest like setting, Shady’s Barn offers a mountain escape that couples have come to love and adore throughout the years. When you stay at Shady’s Barn, you truly feel like you have escaped the daily woes of life. Countless numbers of guests have told us how restored they feel after staying at this rustic mountain cabin in the Smokies. Shady’s Barn is not fancy, luxurious, posh or any of the above. It is however, a budget friendly, clean and comfortable Wears Valley Cabin Rental. The best thing about Shady’s Barn is that it provides an affordable option for couples on a budget looking for a little piece of paradise in the Great Smoky Mountains.
Shady’s Barn is located in Wears Valley and is approximately 25 minutes from Pigeon Forge and Townsend. Gatlinburg is a bit further at approximately 40 minutes – depending upon traffic.
When you turn off the main road onto the gravel road that takes you to the cabin, the feeling of true escape surrounds you. The forest like setting is peaceful and calming. Once you are at the bottom of the mountain on the flat part of the gravel road, we recommend activating 4WD or AWD mode on your vehicle. The road ahead leading up to the cabins requires 4WD or AWD. As you wind up the mountainside, at the top, you will see a cabin named Saddle Ridge to your right and at this fork in the road, you will turn left and continue down to Shady’s Barn on the left. When you arrive and park in the circle driveway at Shady’s Barn, we believe that you and your loved one will feel energized and happy to be in the Smoky Mountains.
Shady's Barn is a rustic little cabin nestled the woods. This one level cabin boasts a screened in patio with a 52-jet hot tub and a patio table. We are certain that this area will be the highlight of your stay in the Smokies.

Thank you,
Great Cabins In the Smokies
If I could leave a six star rating for the location, view, and coziness of this cabin I would. Leaving out one morning my wife and I saw a bear a short distance from the cabin on the private driveway. My wife and I always try to find a small, unique, and cozy place to stay on our anniversary trip and this cabin didn’t disappoint.
This was the perfect weekend getaway! Everything was perfect! We had the absolute best time thank you so much!! We will definitely be recommending this cabin to our friends:)
The cabin was exactly as listed and it was beautiful we got there after dark but the turn by turn directions they gave us got us there first try the cabin was clean and cozy the property manager was amazing when we come back we will be using them again
Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. Please call us directly to book next time to receive your 8% repeat guest discount. Thank you, Carolyn & Ruby.
The cleanliness and coziness of this cabin made our trip absolutely incredible. It was the first thing we saw when we arrived to Gatlinburg and was not disappointed. Will book with them again when staying in the future

Hi Kelly,
We are so happy to hear that you all had a nice time at Shady's Barn :) The next time that you all are going to visit the Smokies, we would be more than happy to welcome you again to this cabin or one of the other ones we have available.
Best from Wears Valley,
Accommodations by Great Cabins in the Smokies
Small fairly secluded cabin. Not lying when they say AWD needed. Location was within an hour of all of our hikes and the populated areas (Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge). We would book again if we return to the area.
