Tiny Owl Cabin – Tranquil Forest Retreat with Hot Tub and Creekside Setting

Welcome to the Tiny Owl Cabin, a charming forest hideaway nestled in Newport, Tennessee. Just a 35-40 minute drive from Gatlinburg and the breathtaking Great Smoky Mountains, this cozy cabin offers a unique getaway.

Part of a new wave of unique stays across the United States, the Tiny Owl Cabin is a compact space, under 180 square feet, that provides a cozy and primitive experience with modern comforts. Perched among the trees and overlooking a mountain stream nestled near the Cherokee National Forest, it’s the perfect escape for couples or solo travelers seeking a peaceful getaway.

The cabin comfortably sleeps two guests with a full-size loft bed. A sitting area and a small dining table accommodate two people. A fully equipped kitchen with a sink, mini fridge, stovetop, and ample storage ensures that you can prepare meals during your stay. A spacious bathroom with a stand-up shower and a TV/DVD player provides relaxation after a day of exploring.

Step outside and you’ll find a private gazebo with seating, perfect for enjoying the soothing sounds of the stream. A water feature and a pond area add an extra touch of tranquility to the outdoor space.

The cabin boasts a private hot tub, just steps away from the cabin, tucked away in the forest. Relax in your own private hot tub, surrounded by nature, listening to the flowing stream and unwinding after a day of exploring the Smokies.

The Tiny Owl Cabin seamlessly blends the beauty of the outdoors with the comforts of home, making it the ideal base for exploring the Smoky Mountains, hiking trails, and charming nearby towns.

Amazing stay

The property was beautiful.All of the cabins were placed to where you really can't see each other. It actually gave me a lot of wonderful ideas. Great spot for a couples get away. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer.

Perfect for a romantic getaway

My husband and I came down to stay for a few days to celebrate our honeymoon, and had the best time. We were looking for a cabin near the Smokies that was affordable, and this was perfect for just the two of us. The cabin had everything we needed, and the hot tub and campfire area were wonderful. I would definitely come down and stay here again!

Cozy, cute getaway

I was looking for a small place to stay for 2 nights and this tiny cabin was ideal. I patricularly enjoyed the hot tub and location as I wasn't interested in staying near a crowded area. Enjoyed the nearby trails. It was an easy 40-45 min drive to the Gatlinburg area to explore downtown and other attractions in the Smokies.

Amazing stay at the Tiny Owl!

We loved our stay at the Tiny Owl! It is a very small cabin but worked great for us as we were out and about all day and only came back to the cabin to make dinner and sleep. We really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after being in the cold all day. There are other cabins around but it still feels very secluded and off the beaten path! I would highly recommended staying in the Tiny Owl for anyone on a budget. We will most definitely be back in the future to check out the other cabins on site!

Best Mini Vacation Getaway

I had such a great time getting away at the Tiny Owl Cabin! The Stuetz Team went above and beyond from beginning to end. The communication and amenities were perfection. The beautiful scenery of the wooded mountains, the hot tub, and relaxing sitting area by the pond and creek were enough for me to not need to go anywhere during my stay. However, I did leave a couple times. One being to get a wonderful massage from thwir professional Therapist Peggy. Leaving feeling truly blessed by this overall experience. Thank you Tammy, Sam, and Peggy! Hoping to meet again when I come back :)

Unique experience. Loved our little camp site. The hot tub was perfect. The stream was very nice and relaxing... The pond was beautiful. Would only change the ladder that led to bed in the loft. Maybe one with handles on top.

Customer service was top notch. We has a little problem with knocking pipes in the cabin, and they worked around the clock to fix it ASAP and even brought us extra firewood for the inconvenience.

The stay was great enjoyed all the amenities… it is quite a trek on some bumpy roads but with it. All that needs updated is the toilet. Not as sturdy as it should be.

Adorable little cabin!

This cabin is very small, but so fun! It was just the two of us, and we stayed cozy and comfy all night. The hot tub was plenty big enough for the two of us, and the temperature was perfect! There was a small room that woukd be so cute for 1 or 2 litrle kids that has a small collection of books, as well as a small tv and dvd player. It has plenty of easily accessible windows, so we were able to let the clean mountain air flow though comfortably. The hosts were amazing in communication, and was so sweet!

Romantic and Charming

My wife and i stayed here for 3 nights and it was just what we were looking for. This small cabin was exactly as described, set back in the mountains with lots of shade and a small creek running through the property. Gravel road with steep incline leads to the property, 4 wheel drive is recommended. We enjoyed our own private hot tub and fire pit while listening to the sounds of nature each evening. Tammy was friendly, responsive and accomodating. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, utensils, pots, pans, cutting board, hand towels and wash cloths. No oven or microwave, but stove top was efficient and mini fridge worked well. Sleep loft was tight, with little room to sit up in the bed. We did notice a slight sewage smell coming from the toilet- was easily remedied by running the flusher for at least 20 seconds each flush and we kept the bathroom window open and bathroom door closed. Small air conditioning unit kept cabin cool, but we also brought a box fan to run at night to keep the air moving in the sleep loft. Overall, we highly recommend the Tiny Owl Cabin for a true Smoky Mountain experience.
