About this property

Owner Managed | Laurel Creek Hideaway | Log Cabin | Private Mtn Stream | FirePit

This is Laurel Creek Hideaway. Laurel Creek Hideaway is a MASSIVE multi-million-dollar log home built alongside a peaceful mountain stream. Our lodge is just under 5,000 sf in size, and constructed of huge two-foot diameter timbers. There are two huge outdoor decks that wrap around the front, and overlook the mountain stream. Our home can easily accommodate up to 22 people, and is great for kids and the entire family. You will never run out of space at our property. Laurel Creek Hideaway has 3 floor levels, providing you with room to spread out. The property also offers a private, wooded outdoor area, with a wood burning fire pit and charcoal barbecue grills, adjacent to your own private mountain stream. If you are looking to get away from your daily grind, our property will deliver the serenity and peace you need to recharge.

By renting one of our cabins you will experience a superior level of quality and service that the large property management companies in the area cannot offer. The reason you ask? We are the actual owners of our cabins, and we personally manage every detail ourselves. My name is Chris. My wife Sarah and I are the owners.

The majority of rental cabins in the area are managed by large property managers who have a whole lot to keep up with. Unfortunately, this can lead to a property to fall behind in its care and cleaning. This leads to a poor traveler experience and a lack of personal service. We try to be different. We only own 6 cabins, and that allows us to give more time and attention to our properties. The exceptional quality of our properties and the personal level of service you will receive will leave no doubt in your mind that you made the best choice for your Smoky Mountains vacation.

Our cabins are competitively priced for what they offer with their location and amenities. All of our properties provide our guests a sense of privacy, and are not in areas where you will feel intruded on by a neighboring cabin. We may not be the lowest priced cabin you will find, but that is by design. We want to be one of the best, not the absolute cheapest. We want you make long lasting memories that you will cherish for many years into the future. We are always a phone call or text away if you need us at any point after you make your reservation, and during your stay. The last thing you want is to have to chase someone down if you have a question or a problem.

Cleaning: We understand cleaning is now more important than ever. Our cleaners are using an enhanced cleaning routine to ensure the property has been thoroughly disinfected prior to your arrival. Our cleaners are using an anti-viral/antibacterial cleaner on all frequently touched surfaces such as counter-tops, door handles, light switches, and other frequently touched surfaces. Our hot tub is drained, scrubbed, refilled with fresh water, and chemicals added between each guest. We hope these extra measures make you feel comfortable during your stay at our cabin.

Our sprawling property is ideal for games of hide-and-seek and family BBQs. The walking bridge across the stream leads you to our peaceful stream-side sitting area featuring a wood burning fire pit and two charcoal burning BBQ grills. Our downstairs game room is perfect for keeping the kids and teens busy when grown-ups want some downtime. We have three full size arcade games, a pool table, foosball table, and a corn-hole set to occupy the kids and adults alike. We also have an in-ground basketball goal alongside the driveway to play

As the daylight fades, sink into one of our rockers and take in in the mountain laurel-scented surroundings, and watch the sun slowly dip behind the trees. Enjoy cozy nights in front of the fireplace and lazy breakfasts in the fully stocked kitchen. Don't forget to relax for a while in our five person hot tub while enjoying the peacefulness of our property.

We named our property "Laurel Creek Hideaway" because it is positioned alongside a peaceful, winding mountain stream that defines this location. Gentle cascades of water flow down the stream as it winds its way along our property. The stream makes its way from behind the lodge, and then winds its way along the side of our decks down the length of our property to the end of the driveway. Enjoy the peace and calming effects of the mountain stream at our cabin. The lodge is also surrounded by beautiful mountain laurels which produce aromatic blooms in early to mid Summer. We have a walking bridge built across the stream that leads to a private wooded area next to the stream. Here you will find a wood burning fire pit and a seating area where you can relax and enjoy nature's beauty. Dip your toes in the stream, and feel free to roast marshmallows and hot dogs on the fire. This area is peaceful, secluded, and serene. You will surely lose track of time as you enjoy the beauty nature has to offer.

We have a mixture of open and wooded land totaling just over 2 acres, with the privacy and seclusion you want for you vacation. The driveway and parking area are paved, and there is plenty of room for numerous vehicles to park.

You are just a few minutes away from all the action Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge has to offer. If you want to experience Gatlinburg's sight and sounds, but still want the peace and quiet of the mountains, our lodge is a great place to accomplish both. You will be located only minutes from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We are close to everything the area has to offer.

Entering the main level of the lodge you are greeted straight away by the huge vaulted living area with the grand staircase on your right and the kitchen and formal dining area on the left. The living room has four large sofas arranged comfortably around the stacked stone fireplace and large screen TV/DVD. Massive windows look out onto the forested, secluded backdrop, and mountain stream area that defines this location.

Family Get Away
Beautiful weekend accommodations for a family get away in the mountains. Spacious with comfortable, private accommodations for parents with grown children and their significant others. Gathering areas were comfortable and accommodating for 10+ people. Fire pit area, hot tub, downstairs gaming room were a big hit!

Room to gather
Lots of rentals have enough bedrooms for extended family vacations, but this house also has exceptionally gathering space. The living room is massive with tons of seating. We had 8 adults, a baby and two dogs and this house could not have been more perfect. Tons of space, fully stocked kitchen and very convenient to town. Would stay here again with no hesitation. Highly recommend!

Family Christmas
This home provided everything we needed and more. The accommodations were great for our large family with plenty of space and entertainment for everyone . It was in a great location making getting around very easy. My only complaint is that it was difficult to regulate the temperature. I would highly recommend this home for a large group gathering.

Christmas trip
Great Family Christmas trip. The fire pit was a huge hit with the family. We roasted hot dogs and smores over the fire multiple times. The cabin was lovely, and had a Christmas tree up and some other decorations. Great stay.

About the host

Host profile image
Hi, I am Chris. My wife Sarah and I had been wanting a cabin retreat in the Smokies for many years. After many years of renting various properties we finally decided to buy one of our own. After renting that property we decided to purchase more properties. Over the years we have acquired 6 unique properties. Good maintenance and upkeep is at the top of our list. All our properties are located in Gatlinburg. We always try to have everything in neat, clean, and in perfect order for your stay. We hope you enjoy your time in the Smokies as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Laurel Creek Hideaway is a MASSIVE log home built alongside a peaceful mountain stream. The lodge is approximately 5,400 square feet and constructed of huge two-foot diameter timbers. There are 2 huge outdoor decks (nearly 3000 square feet of space) that wrap around the front of our lodge and overlook the mountain stream. The lodge can accommodate up to 22 people easily. You will never run out of room at our property. It has 3 floor levels, as well as a large private outdoor area around our private mountain stream.

We have a walking bridge built across the stream that leads to a private wooded area next to the stream. Here you will find a wood burning fire pit (with a grill top) and a seating area where you can relax and enjoy nature's beauty. Dip your toes in the stream, and feel free to roast marshmallows and hot dogs on the fire. This area is peaceful, secluded, and serene. You will surely lose track of time as you enjoy the beauty nature has to offer.
