Family vacation
It had everything we needed! I was very impressed with the cabin. Separate game room is a plus, so you don’t disturb others trying to watch tv. Level entry. Tons of cards and board games. Shagbark is a nice area. Really nice wraparound deck, wish the weather was warmer…I would have been out there the whole time! Not too far up in the mountains and not too far out from town.

Great place to stay!
Super cute cabin up in the mountains. Great layout for a family. The only thing I would say was the bed up in the loft was very squeaky and loud. The kids loved the game room and arcade game! Owner was very good with communicating.

Family Christmas
The pictures do not do it justice! Just AWESOME! My family had plenty of room and fun things to do. Communicating with the owner was excellent! Leslie was just a text message away! The location puts you out in the woods for a true getaway feel. Be careful driving on the twisting roads!

The best host!
Leslie is the absolute best host. She goes above and beyond to make sure we have everything we need for a great stay. This was our 4th time staying at this cabin and everything was perfect as always. I would give extra stars for her welcoming our two dogs as well.

About the host

Hosted by Leslie & Jerry Ruff

Host profile image
We are the Ruff Bunch! I was born and raised in sunny, south Florida and grew up spending EVERY summer vacation with my family at our cabin in the Great Smoky Mountains. From ruby mining in the valleys of NC to climbing to the top of Clingman's Dome, this vast and beautiful space has always been my paradise. The smell of the air, the sounds of the forest, the majestic mountain views, the endless creeks and the mighty, roaring waterfalls....still take my breath away.

All of these years later, I have wanted nothing more than to share this love with my own family. We bought this cabin as place for us to unwind, recharge, explore and have fun as a family. It has brought us so much joy to know that we have this special little space to just BE. We are so thrilled to now share this place with YOU and our hope is that you can also make lasting, loving memories with your family, friends and loved ones here.

Why they chose this property

Nestled perfectly in the mountain ridge of Wears Valley, Shagbark is THE hidden gem of Tennessee. When I was looking for the perfect spot to buy, I knew the very moment I entered this resort that it I had found it. The bubbling, winding creek that hugs the road as you enter and guides you to the mountain base is the perfect welcome to this lovely place. Enjoy the mountain views and vast forest greenery as you make your way up the mountain road to your happy retreat. If you are lucky, you might see some wild turkey, deer, fox or even a black bear along the way!

What makes this property unique

We believe that pets are truly family and your pets are always welcome at NO extra charge. We do have a 2 pet limit, but we are willing to make considerations on a case by case basis. It never hurts to ask!

Wheelchair accessible with ramp access to the main level.
