Whispering Canyon: Your Private Mountainside Retreat!

Seconds from the Parkway. Minutes from the Peaks. Miles from the Ordinary.

Experience the quintessential Smoky Mountain getaway at Whispering Canyon, a sprawling, multi-level log home where modern luxury meets "cabin in the woods" charm. Tucked privately into a lush canyon with no neighbors in sight, you’ll enjoy total seclusion—despite being just a 3-minute drive from the heart of Gatlinburg.

Why Large Families Love Whispering Canyon:

The Ultimate Location: 3 minutes to the Parkway and Ober Mountain; 4 minutes to the National Park entrance (bypass the traffic!).
Triple-Deck Living: Three massive, full-length decks—one for every level—featuring rocking chairs, a propane firepit, and a bubbling hot tub.
Space to Breathe: With three distinct floors, the kids can dominate the lower-level game room while the adults enjoy wine and mountain breezes in the loft.
The Wild Side: We are located on an active bear trail! Watch for local black bears from the safety of the decks for an unforgettable Smoky Mountain memory.

Three Levels of Comfort & Entertainment

The Main Level (Gathering Space):
Step through the front door into an open-concept great room designed for togetherness.
Chef’s Kitchen: Fully stocked and ready for pancake breakfasts or family dinners.
Dining for 10: Plenty of room for everyone to break bread together.
Primary Suite: A King bedroom with a jetted tub, separate shower, and direct access to the main deck and BBQ grill.
The Upper Level (The Quiet Retreat):
Second King Suite: A private sanctuary with its own full bathroom and deck access.
The Loft: A cozy "getaway" spot featuring a Queen sleeper sofa, a board game table, and a reading nook. Perfect for remote work or a quiet afternoon with a book.
The Lower Level (The Ultimate Fun Zone):
This floor is built for the younger (and young at heart) members of your group.
Rec Room: A massive 65” Smart TV, sectional sofa, pool table, and arcade games.
The Bunk Suite: A clever "sleepover" room featuring a twin-over-full bunk and a full-over-full bunk, plus an attached full bathroom.
Relaxation:

Quiet cabin near town

This is a lovely getaway to enjoy while visiting the Great Smoky Mountains, Gatlinburg, or Pigeon Forge. It is just a short drive into Gatlinburg. This cabin had everything we needed and our family enjoyed our time here. It was very quiet and felt like a hillside retreat. The outdoor decks off of each level were a great place to relax and watch the wildlife!

Perfect location

This cabin’s location is ideal, close to the main drag in Gatlinburg but is tucked away in a quiet, private location. No neighbors, no noise. The cabin is large with good sized bedrooms and with 3.5 bathrooms we had plenty of space. The owners were easy to work with. Would stay there again.

Wonderful cabin if you are looking to stay in- great location to get out and do things too! The hosts thought of everything to keep us comfortable including extra heaters, and plenty of comfortable bedding and extra blankets! We really appreciated the provided supplies to get us going and were able to have groceries delivered. Also, greatly appreciated minimal checkout chores.

Beautiful stay in the Smokies.

This cabin is beautiful. Close enough to everything, but with plenty of privacy. The cabin was well equipped with everything we needed and the setting with all the fall leaves was amazing. Stayed in numerous VRBO rentals prior and this rental was by far our favorite. Very clean, very comfortable, and very inviting.

Spring Break Vacation

Our family absolutely loved this cabin! It was so convenient to downtown Gatlinburg and all of the surrounding activities. The layout of the cabin is perfect for a small family like ours or a large group. The hot tub and the pool table were a huge hit with the kids! We definitely hope to come back in the future!

Wonderful!

The cabin was great and everything we needed and wanted for our first vacation with a baby! All the kitchen supplies we needed, bedrooms on separate floors, great living room and TVs, comfortable beds, nice hot tub and everything was clean. The solid pizza place around the corner, quick access to the Park without going through gatlinburg, and quiet patio made it perfect.

Ultimate Comfort

My friend group enjoyed every minute in this spacious and well-appointed cabin. We were a quick drive away from Gatlinburg attractions and the national park, but the cabin feels tucked away and remote. The views are spectacular, and the cabin was roomy and comfortable. Nothing but praise for this vacation rental. Highly recommend!

Great Secluded Cabin Right Next Door To Gatlinburg

Our family of 7 had a great time here. Everything was just like the listing said. Very clean and up to date cabin plenty of space for everyone. We grilled out on the balcony, relaxed in the hot tub, played a lot of pool, and sat by the fireplace. Gatlinburg is less than a 5 minute drive but the cabin feels like you’re in the woods far up a mountain. Great place to stay would definitely recommend.

Fabulous Thanksgiving trip

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful cabin. Everything was exactly as listed. The location is fantastic. You can get to Gatlinburg in just minutes, it is also a short drive to Ober Mountain and you can cross the mountain to get to the bypass and be in Pigeon Forge very quickly. We cooked an amazing Thanksgiving dinner while there. The kitchen was perfect for cooking. And, the snacks and coffee pods were a very gracious gift. We will definitely stay here again.

Best Cabin we have ever stayed in!

This was the cleanest, best stocked, cabin we have ever stayed in, and we have stayed in several! The owners were very attentive and great to deal with. It is secluded enough for privacy, and big enough for atleast 10 people to relax comfortably. We will definitely rent this cabin again. Carrie & Eli Groves
