Sheriff’s Cabin

Step back in time when you stay at Sheriff’s Cabin, lovingly rebuilt after the 2016 Gatlinburg wildfires. This mid-1800s, hand-hewn cabin with huge white oak logs and beautiful dovetail notching showcases the ancient art of chinking, which highlights the beauty and variations of these old logs. Located atop a private driveway in the historic Timber Ridge Community of Gatlinburg, a community of authentic and antique log homes in a truly natural setting, Sheriff’s Cabin boasts exceptional mountain views and is within minutes — just off The Spur — to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and the national park.

Reclaimed from a Tyler County farm in West Virginia, Sheriff’s Cabin was transported and rebuilt by the Barnwood Builders in 2021 as originally featured on the DIY (now Magnolia) Network (Smoky Mountain Magic: S14 E2 on Amazon Prime). Each of the massive logs was painstakingly marked and tagged to enable accurate reconstruction and restoration of the original early settler cabin. At 465 sq. ft., this open-concept cabin features 14-ft-high stacked, chinked logs, exposed beams, and a metal roof. Other coverage featuring Sheriff’s Cabin aired in 2023 on the Magnolia Network (Barnwood Living Pavilion: S16 E3 on Amazon Prime).

Sheriff’s Cabin offers a pioneer experience without any sacrifice of comfort or convenience for up to 2 guests. It has a fully furnished kitchen, dining area, a gas stone fireplace, a ceiling fan, a 50-inch smart TV (Samsung), a stacked washer and dryer, a private toilet and shower area, and a clothes closet. At bedtime, a king-sized bed awaits for the coziest of nighttime escapes. Glass panels and windows and a glass door give natural light and allow for outdoor views.

The L-shaped porch, complete with rockers, a bistro table, and a hot tub, provides relaxed outdoor living. Here, cares melt away and nature is on display every day with natural vegetation, changing cloud formations, and colorful sunsets. Even rainy days offer cozy comfort on this ridge. Be watchful for bears and other wildlife as they stroll by. For outdoor cooking, the grill is conveniently located next to the parking area at this semi-private cabin in the Smokies. And there are only 4 steps up to reach the porch for easier unloading.

Surround yourself with beauty, serenity, and history at Sheriff’s Cabin, where the quality and attention to detail are one-of-a-kind. If wishing to vacation with others, nearby cabins by the same owner are The Homestead and The Shed, Always, Ever After Gatlinburg, Journey’s End, and Life’s a Bear.
