The Reagan family, one of Gatlinburg's most historic families, began building cabins around 1925. At the time, Otha Reagan worked stripping tanning bark in the Sugarlands area of what is now the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and his wife, Emma, was a weaver at Arrowmont. In 1923, Otha and Emma had saved enough money $500 to be exact to purchase five acres of land on the Roaring Fork Creek where Brookside Resort is today. Just a few years later they began building small cabins and chicken coops on the property to rent to men who were in the area building the road from Newfound Gap to Clingmans Dome. These cabins were built with timbers from the Roaring Fork School House and Church, and some were built from log homes moved straight out of the National Park. Many of the Reagan family's ancestors were even born in these cabins!
In 1971, Gatlinburg Southern Building Code required the remodel of nearly all the buildings in the area to a Bavarian type of exterior, so the Reagan cabins were updated to conform. Not too long after that in 1980, all of the original cabins and chicken houses were moved to their present location in picturesque Emerts Cove by a local river hangout called the Flint Rock Swimming Hole. To make a few larger cabins to accommodate larger families, two of the original cabins were placed on each side of a concrete slab to form a bedroom and a bathroom, and the middle was built to form a living area. Don't worry, though, the cabins haven't lost any of their history. Rumor has it that old chicken feed bags from the cabins earliest years have been found in their attics! Today's owners are proud to bring a little piece of their family's Gatlinburg history to your Gatlinburg vacation!

Thank you for your review. We're so glad to hear that you found your stay relaxing and that the cabin had everything you needed. Your feedback means a lot to us and we hope you could provide more to improve future guest stays.
Polite staff, clean cabin, semi-private river access, short drive to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Overall easily labeled as the best place to stay when visiting the area not to mention no loud neighbors on the other side of a thin wall like you find in hotels

The property was fantastic! It was only a few minutes drive to all the great attractions in the area. The cabin was perfect. A very clean and cozy place to relax. Its quiet and in a beautiful area.

We are glad you had a fantastic stay! We can't wait to welcome you back!
The place is very clean, but the pictures make it look larger than it is. But still nice. It is grouped with several other cabins around but it was quiet. With there being so much to do in the area we were really only there to sleep.

Thank you for your review. We appreciate the note about the photos—we’ll take a look to make sure they reflect the space accurately. We hope you will visit with us again soon.
Its a charming Rustic cabin. There are not a lot of modern touches. The kitchen is not very well stocked. The beds were fairly comfortable and the rooms have their own heaters, which was nice for the cold nights. However, I do believe it was listed as waterfront, and unless it is peak flood season, this cabin is not on the water.

Thank you for your review. We hope you will visit with us again. As the listing states, it is approximately 50 steps from the water.
Location was nice but the photos were a bit misleading as I assumed the rental was directly on the water. The mildew problem really needs to be addressed. It smells so strongly that my Cpap smells so bad from being there. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay and would love to come back but stay on the cabin two doors down on the corner of the property
Convenient to many shops and attractions. Just a few steps to what was a "river" that our grandson loved to play in. Rivers are measured in miles wide where we are from not feet. Although yours is much cleaner. 😃 It would have been nice to have a little mop with the broom, and a shelf in the shower would have been nice, but thats just me. Not a problem it just would be nice. Electrical needs to be upgraded. Had to hunt and find three-prong outlets, but we just had to rearrange where we chose to sit or who needed the outlets. Straight and flat roads to get there. All-in-all a nice little place. This will definitely be on our list when we return to the area.
