Appalachian Escape Cabin

Appalachian Escape Cabin Vacation Rental | Private/ Secluded Log Cabin | Near Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge, Great Smoky Mountains This is anything but a cookie cutter log home!

We looked far and wide, until we were able to find the right place. We prefer seclusion, privacy and uniqueness, while many area cabins are located in the 'resorts' where privacy is in short supply, and cabins look alike and cookie cutter. When we found 'Appalachian Escape', there was no mistaking we had found what we were searching for! We originally fell in love with cabin's large and secluded p

roperty and the peaceful feel it exuded. The cabin itself was another story - the previous owners have erected the "shell" (foundation, walls, roof and windows/doors), but the inside has never been completed. There were no interior walls, no flooring, no power and only some rudimentary plumbing. We bought the cabin in 2013, and it took us over a year to add, renovate or install EVERYTHING in the cabin: walls, hardwood floors, doors, trim, stairs, insulation, HVAC, furniture, appliances, lighting, fireplace, cabinetry...and...and...and... It was a lot of work, but the end result is a fantastic, top-of-the-line mountain cabin that your family and friends will love to come to and won't ever want to leave!! Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge have lots to do, from hiking, to white water rafting, to fine dining and live shows, to horseback riding and Go-Karts. We know that this area can entertain virtually any family for years to come...

More bears! 🐻🐻

These two young bears came strolling through the yard at Appalachian Escape β€” and they look quite a bit bigger than the little cubs we spotted with their mama recently.

Yearlings? Maybe! Either way, they clearly know this is a pretty nice place to wander. πŸ˜„πŸŒ²

You never know who will stop by to say hello at Appalachian Escape. 🦌❀️
This doe and her little fawn took a leisurely stroll through the outdoor game area while everything was nice and quiet. It's moments like these that remind us why we love sharing our little corner of the Smokies. 🌲🏑
