About this property

Large Private Cabin- Prime Location! Perfect for Families! 1 Mile to Gatlinburg!



Whispering Canyon is THE ideal cabin where you will enjoy the best of the Smokies; a relaxing log cabin experience nestled in the trees right in the heart of Gatlinburg. The cabin is a very short 3 minute drive into downtown Gatlinburg, 3 minutes to Ober Gatlinburg for year round outdoor play, 4 minutes to the National Park entrance and only 10-15 min to Pigeon Forge, with no scary roads and easy access to the many, many local attractions. It's also privately tucked into the canyon with no nearby neighbors, giving you that traditional cabin in the woods vacation.
Note: We have an active bear trail that leads right into the National Park. Bears wander around the property regularly! Remember bear safety. Do not feed or harass the bears.

Whispering Canyon includes:
-Comfortable accommodations for up to 12 guests
-3 Levels of living space
-3 Private Bedrooms with full bathrooms
-3 Decks that each run the full length of the cabin
-Wi-Fi and smart TV's
-Pool table and arcade games in the rec room
-Reading nook and board game table in the loft
-Hot tub * Propane Firepit * BBQ Grill on the decks

Whispering Canyon, located off Ski Mountain Rd in Gatlinburg, is a beautiful and comfortable cabin perfect for gatherings of friends and family. Everyone will find space to spread out, relax and rejuvenate. All 3 large bedrooms have access to one of 3 full length decks. All 3 decks come with multiple rocking chairs and lounge seating to enjoy your morning cup of coffee or your evening glass of wine (or 'shine). The pool table and arcade games are ready for friendly competition. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to prepare any meal. Roku enabled Smart TVs allow you to access your own streaming subscriptions from 6 different rooms throughout the cabin. When you are ready, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, and all local attractions are just a few minutes away. And you can't get much closer to the main entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Staying at Whispering Canyon will allow you to bypass the majority of traffic going into the park.
Bears do visit the cabin on a regular basis. There is an active bear trail from our driveway! Please supervise children outside, keep car doors locked and cabin doors shut at all times. Do not leave food in your car or outside. All trash must be placed in the bear bins.

Upper Level - Walk upstairs and you will find the second King bedroom with full bathroom. Cross the catwalk to the loft with comfortable seating, Smart TV, board game table and Queen sleeper sofa. This is a perfect quiet spot for reading, playing a game, or getting some work done. The full length deck can be accessed by both the loft and the bedroom.
Lower Level - Travel downstairs to find another whole floor. Here you will find a large multi-use recreation room with sectional sofa in front of a 65 inch Smart TV, a pool table,2 arcade games, and pub table w/ stools. The 3rd bedroom is next to the rec room, with a set of twin over full bunk beds, another full / full bunkbed and an attached full bathroom with tub/shower combo.

Perfect location

This cabin’s location is ideal, close to the main drag in Gatlinburg but is tucked away in a quiet, private location. No neighbors, no noise. The cabin is large with good sized bedrooms and with 3.5 bathrooms we had plenty of space. The owners were easy to work with. Would stay there again.

Great Stay

Wonderful cabin if you are looking to stay in- great location to get out and do things too! The hosts thought of everything to keep us comfortable including extra heaters, and plenty of comfortable bedding and extra blankets! We really appreciated the provided supplies to get us going and were able to have groceries delivered. Also, greatly appreciated minimal checkout chores.

Location, location, location! This beautiful cabin is not only secluded and up in the mountains, but is convenient to downtown Gatlinburg! The pictures don’t do justice to how nice this cabin is and how peaceful the location is. The hosts contacted us in timely manner on things. Just a great overall experience and plan to stay here again!

Fabulous Thanksgiving trip

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful cabin. Everything was exactly as listed. The location is fantastic. You can get to Gatlinburg in just minutes, it is also a short drive to Ober Mountain and you can cross the mountain to get to the bypass and be in Pigeon Forge very quickly. We cooked an amazing Thanksgiving dinner while there. The kitchen was perfect for cooking. And, the snacks and coffee pods were a very gracious gift. We will definitely stay here again.

Ultimate Comfort

My friend group enjoyed every minute in this spacious and well-appointed cabin. We were a quick drive away from Gatlinburg attractions and the national park, but the cabin feels tucked away and remote. The views are spectacular, and the cabin was roomy and comfortable. Nothing but praise for this vacation rental. Highly recommend!

Wonderful!

The cabin was great and everything we needed and wanted for our first vacation with a baby! All the kitchen supplies we needed, bedrooms on separate floors, great living room and TVs, comfortable beds, nice hot tub and everything was clean. The solid pizza place around the corner, quick access to the Park without going through gatlinburg, and quiet patio made it perfect.

Great Location with Mountain Feel 10 min from city

Clean, beautiful cabin with attention to detail and everything we needed for a great Smokies getaway. They weren’t kidding about the bear trail… we had a visit at least once a day by one of the local bears walking through the front parking area, which we saw on our trail cam. Driveway is very steep but our SUV had no problems with jt. We would stay again! Thanks

Great long weekend getaway

We needed a place that was easily accessible for our geographically dispersed family (Dallas, St Louis and Charlotte) and chose the Smoky Mountains as a quick getaway for our daughter's fall break. This could not have been more perfect. Beautiful hiking trails were easily accessible and the home was very clean, comfortable and well stocked. It was very conducive to lots of game playing and just hanging out with each other. We would not hesitate to come back again. Hosts were SO great at communication every step of the way.
