About this property

Private Waterfalls on 3 Acres. A Creekside Smoky Mtn Retreat - Read Our Reviews!

  • Note: No scary, steep mountain roads to traverse! Easy access off I-40. You will be staying only 2 miles off exit 412, which is only 4 miles from exit 407, the gateway to Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and The Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

    Be prepared to be awed! You’ve just found a little slice of heaven.

    Stay next to a fully functioning 1798 grist mill. A rare piece of TN history

    This 2 story, coziest of cabins on 3 secluded acres

    Relax by your own private cascading creek. Cook out on the grill, picnic or warm up by the fire pit, all creek side. If you’re lucky, you might get a rare sighting of our resident family of six otters playing & diving for fish in the creek!

    Dandridge (the 2nd oldest town in TN) scenic Douglas Lake, Pigeon Forge and The Smokies are close by.

    Experience a place that, prior to being featured on the Discovery Channel, was known only to a few locals.

    Privately tucked away in a 3 acre wooded hollow, is a place like no other. Driving in, the three story, fully functioning, authentic 1798 grist mill will greet, charm & fascinate. Note: Mill is not open to the public so you will have the property all to yourselves during your stay.

    This property has been an iron forge, foundry; and a mill (for locals and moonshiners alike) for the past 225+ years. The cabin, hidden behind the mill, was built much later as a private residence. This property is now, for the first time in history, available for you to enjoy. By staying here you will also be contributing to the preservation and upkeep of this wonderful piece of history for future generations.

    Hidden behind the mill is the cabin on Dumplin Creek. King & queen bedrooms upstairs, a newly remodeled bathroom downstairs, quaint kitchen, living room & hidden laundry.

    If it couldn’t get any better than this, sit on one of the front porch rockers or swing and be relaxed by your own private cascading creek! Historic Dumplin Creek runs right through the middle of the property, has a 5ft deep swimming hole and is even known to have a fish or two. Explore the trail behind the cabin (at your own risk) where the old mill race runs, all the way to the sluice gate and dam, which is also part of this enchanting property.

    Cook out on the grill, picnic, or roast marshmallows on the fire pit, all creekside.

    Living away from it all, you may feel like Davy Crockett, and keep in mind that you are only a few minutes away from the second oldest town in Tennessee, one of the most scenic (& best fishing) lakes around and within a short drive to Pigeon Forge and The Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

    With nature abounding, history and all the attractions that the area has to offer, what could be better? But, be forewarned, you may not want to leave.

    Note: The inside of the old grist mill, located on this property, is not available to the public, nor (for safety reasons) is it available for our guests to go inside.

The hosts have been clear and open with communication from the booking date to the exit.It's easy to see when you arrive (we were early June) that the homeowners were certainly blessed when they found this property! I can't speak to how common it is to have a lot this pretty, this private, this calming, and including falls, but this is fabulous for peaceful nature lovers!The cabin has the bases covered for creature comforts. Bring provisions and prepare simple meals here; use the laundry area if needed; enjoy the porch swing and rocking chairs. They have a neat bbq picnic area closer to the falls. Hopefully guests will continue to care well for the property so we can go back again!

Beautiful setting

My wife and I had a great time staying in this cabin with our two young boys. The cabin is in great condition and nothing beats sitting on the front porch listening to the creek. It’s very private and a great place to stay.

Stay – A Hidden Slice of Smoky Mountain MagicWe had an incredible stay here. The location is a huge plus—just a couple of miles off I-40 with easy access, but once you arrive, it feels completely secluded and peaceful.The historic 200 year-old grist mill is as fascinating as advertised and gives the property a really unique character. But the highlight for us was the creek. The cascading water, small waterfall, and overall setting made it the perfect place to relax. We spent a lot of time just enjoying the outdoors and even saw deer in the evenings, which made it feel like a true escape.The cabin itself was cozy and comfortable, with everything we needed for a laid-back stay.Another big win is the location—you’re close to Dandridge, Douglas Lake, and the Smokies, but far enough away to avoid the crowds and chaos of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.Overall, this place truly feels like a little slice of heaven. Peaceful, scenic, and unique—we’d absolutely stay again.

Peaceful Cabin Set in Nature's Beauty

A very clean, cozy cabin adjacent to a circa 1798 mill building. The property has a beautiful waterfall that can be enjoyed from the front porch. A wonderful place to stay near Pigeon Forge, but a world away from the crowds.

Lovely private stay

Such a lovely old cabin. Everything was clean, comfy, and secluded yet close. The property was beautiful from the old mill, the cabin itself, and waterfalls. I explored up to the dam in search of otters, but no luck. Darn. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

A little slice of heaven

We had a wonderful visit. The cabin is very clean and comfortable. The setting is all we had hoped for. In fact, it's so lovely you almost don't want to go anywhere else. The first morning we had a lovely surprise of seeing a ground hog on the steps outside the mill. We would definitely stay here again and will tell others about it.

Great cabin on private property.

Great little cabin on private property, next to a small creek. I like that it's little bit out of the way of all the traffic. It was clean and we felt like we were at home. Will definitely come back in winter time.
