The Homestead

The pioneer past comes alive at The Homestead, a mid-1800s, hand-hewn dogtrot cabin with huge white oak
logs with chinking and beautiful dovetail notching. Located on top a mountain road in the historic Timber
Ridge Community of Gatlinburg – a community of authentic and antique log homes in a truly natural setting –
The Homestead boasts majestic mountain views and is within minutes to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and the
national park.

Reclaimed in 2020 from a Roane County farm in West Virginia, The Homestead is a true dogtrot: two separate
log cabins on either side of a breezeway – all under a common roof. In 2022, the Barnwood Builders
transported the logs to Tennessee and reconstructed them on this site. Each of the massive logs was
painstakingly marked and tagged to enable accurate reconstruction and restoration of the original, early cabin.
At 1,400 sq. ft., this cabin features high-stacked, chinked logs and exposed beams, along with tongue and
groove construction.

The Homestead offers rustic ambience with modern convenience, comfort, and function. It has a fully
furnished galley-style kitchen with granite countertops in the enclosed breezeway as well as a laundry. The
original log cabins are located on either side. Each cabin consists of a king bedroom with built-in twin beds and
a full bath with a shower/tub combo. The open living and dining area features a gas stone fireplace and
mountain views both inside and outside on the full-length covered porch. The porch has rockers, a dining
table/chairs, and a hot tub, all providing exceptional 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 mountain. Be watchful for bears and other wildlife as they stroll by. For outdoor
cooking, a park-style grill is conveniently located in the parking area.

Be surrounded by beauty, serenity, and history at The Homestead, where the quality and attention to detail
respect the Smoky Mountain tradition. If wishing to vacation with others, The Shed is mere steps away, and
Sheriff’s Cabin sits just below The Homestead in Historic Timber Ridge Community. Other nearby cabins on
Smokerise Mountain by the same owner are Always, Ever After, Journey’s End, and Life’s a Bear.
