About this property
Shower Outdoors Under the Stars!
Hidden gems are rare, but the reward is worth the discovery—and the Secret Garden Cabin is one of them. Tucked away at the very end of Eagle Mountain Trail, this all-adult, pet-free retreat rests along the ledge of a quiet crevasse overlooking a gentle stream. Surrounded by tall pines, hardwoods, and a clear rocky creek, the cabin offers privacy and natural beauty not often found among more crowded cabin sites. Deer and other wildlife frequently visit the water, providing tranquil views right from the expansive patio.
Spanning more than 1,200 square feet with soaring 30-foot ceilings, this one-bedroom retreat feels grand in scale yet intimate in design. A dry-stacked stone, double-sided fireplace rises 25 feet from floor to ceiling, connecting the main living area with the romantic lover’s retreat. Oversized windows fill the great room with natural light, making it the perfect place to curl up with a book, plan your next adventure, or enjoy the 65” DirecTV Choice package.
The open kitchen blends seamlessly into the living space and is thoughtfully appointed with stainless steel appliances, a modern farmhouse sink, granite bar top, and a built-in wine bar with wine fridge. Whether preparing a gourmet meal or simply sharing a bottle of wine, it sets the stage for memorable evenings together.
Step outside to an outdoor living area designed for relaxation, complete with a spacious covered patio, fireplace, and serene creek views. For a truly unique experience, follow the private stairwell down into the forest and cross the enchanted bridge to the Secret Garden gazebo. Furnished with a large lounger and fire feature, this magical hideaway is perfect for morning coffee at sunrise or stargazing late into the night—a rare and unforgettable amenity that makes this cabin truly one of a kind.
At day’s end, retreat to the spa-inspired bathroom. Soak side by side in the freestanding tub, warmed by the glow of the flickering fireplace, or step into the oversized shower for two. For a refreshing start, the outdoor shower invites you to bathe beneath the pines while birdsong drifts overhead. The romantic four-poster bed, dressed in luxury linens, ensures restful nights and peaceful mornings.
Secret Garden is more than a cabin—it’s an experience. From the enchanted gazebo to the spa-like comforts inside, this hidden woodland treasure is a retreat you’ll want to return to time and again.

My husband and I had a wonderful extended weekend at this beautiful property. The house was very clean. We cooked all of our meals at the house. All needed dishes and utensils were provided. There were spices available as well. The only thing we didn’t have was cooking spray. There was shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion provided.
We enjoyed spending time in the hot tub and sitting on the back deck enjoying meals. We spent time hiking in Beavers Bend State Park. Highly recommend the Friends Trail, Mountain Fork River trail and Lookout Mountain Loop.
Loved everything about this cabin! The outdoor shower was so cool. We also enjoyed sitting in the hot tub overlooking the scenery and creek in the back. The management team was also great and very responsive. Will definitely be back!
RELAXING and BREATHTAKING! This property was perfect! It is exactly as you see in the listing! Very clean! They thought of everything! Very private! Perfect area to be in!
If you are looking for a relaxing getaway! This is the perfect place!
This was a great cabin and was very nice, however, the only downside was the two mile gravel road in and out. The road is in rough shape and was difficult.
The cabin is beautiful and would still recommend it.
I'll start with the two small cons: the road to the cabin is not yet paved, and while that was not an issue for us in a truck, it might be a bit of an issue for small cars. Two is that there are a lot of stairs on property. The property photos are conpletely accurate about it, though! Just expect stairs down to the front door, and stairs to the gazebo.
Pros: basically everything else! This cabin is far more isolated than many other Hocha cabins, and we felt truly secluded. There is is currently one cabin neighboring each side of this one, and one of those seemed to be under construction so we had plenty of space to ourselves!
The hosts were so incredibly sweet and allowed us to host a small elopement ceremony here with our parents and a handful of friends (10 people total including us and the officiant). The gazebo was an absolute dream for that purpose!! Our 10 chairs fit perfectly, and the stairs and walkway to the gazebo made for a lovely aisle walk. We hosted a short cookout with the small group afterward, and the porch was a perfect size to accommodate everyone.
We stayed for several days after the elopement. It's a perfect getaway. We greatly enjoyed the jacuzzi, reading on the porch with the sounds of birdsong and the burbling creek, and the luxury of both an indoor shower and an outdoor shower. The kitchen was well-appointed and had every supply you could need for cooking - just bring food & drinks. We'll be back soon!!
