Description
Secluded in the serene Smoky Mountains of Gatlinburg, Tennessee, filled with Appalachian charm and quirkiness, and created with beautiful logs from the 1800s, Hand Hewn Hideaway exudes authenticity for that true cabin experience you’ve been craving. Uniquely constructed, you’ll find a spacious 3-level, 3-bedroom vacation home sitting on 2.5 private acres with luxurious accommodations for up to 16 guests — perfect for family vacations or group getaways with friends.
On arrival at this inviting Gatlinburg cabin, you won’t be able to miss the front porch decked out with swings, picnic tables, and a rocking chair. Off to the side is a hammock and a firepit for roasting s’mores, and just a few steps down is a small pond.
Inside, you’ll enjoy the classic log cabin aesthetic with entirely updated furnishings and high-end finishes. Starting at the main level, guests will enjoy the beautifully decorated living room with two couches, a leather chair, wood-burning fireplace, and 65-inch flatscreen TV.
The dining table and kitchen are just around the corner from the living room. The dining table seats up to 10, with additional seating for 3 at the breakfast counter off the kitchen. The kitchen is perfect for cooking for the whole family — granite countertops (tons of counter space!), all stainless steel appliances, a deep farmhouse sink, and stocked with plates, utensils, pots, and pans. There’s a half bathroom too for convenience!
The master bedroom is also located on the main level and includes a king-size bed, flatscreen TV, access to the side deck, and an incredible en suite bathroom: copper his and her sinks, a standing shower, and private copper bathtub to soak and relax. Attached to the primary bedroom is a nursery with a crib for any families traveling with a little one 🙂
The upper and side decks are also accessible from the main level. The upper deck is on top of the front porch and opens up to forest views with 4 rocking chairs, a swing, and a cute table for small bites. The side deck is where the hot tub is located; there are also rustic patio furnishings to sit back and enjoy: a swing, bench, and two chairs.
The other two bedrooms can be found upstairs. The first guest bedroom has a king-size bed, flatscreen TV, and en suite bathroom with a jetted tub and standing shower with a river stone floor. The second guest bedroom has a queen-size bed.
On the bottom floor, there’s a family room with 2 couches (one that pulls out as a sleeper sofa), 65-inch TV, board and table games, and kids room with four bunk beds: twin over twin. The table games are perfect for some friendly family fun — whether it be a game of pool, foosball, or air hockey. The third bathroom is also downstairs and has a standing shower.
