This week in White Oak Estates, the story is straightforward: 2 new listings, 0 pending, and 0 closed sales. With no recorded sales in the window, there is no fresh closed-price or days-on-market data to summarize yet, so the main takeaway is the current inventory mix—one larger 3-bedroom cabin at $649,000 and one 2-bedroom cabin at $549,900, both on wooded lots with strong amenity packages and easy access to Pigeon Forge.
New Log Cabins in White Oak Estates
New active log cabin listings recorded from September 14 through September 20, 2026.
3 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,546 SqFt • White Oak Estates • 2 days on market • Built 2006
This 3-bedroom, 2-bath cabin is the higher-priced new option at $649,000, and its larger 1,546-square-foot layout is paired with a long list of entertainment features, including a theater room, pool table, multicade, and hot tub. The no-HOA setting, wooded privacy, and fully furnished presentation may appeal to buyers looking for a turn-key mountain retreat with room to host.
2 Beds • 3 Baths • 2,161 SqFt • White Oak Estates • 4 days on market • Built 2000
At $549,900, this 2-bedroom, 3-bath cabin offers a larger footprint at 2,161 square feet, which may give it stronger space-per-dollar value than the smaller new listing. The main-level parking, screened porch with hot tub, and bonus sleeping space make it a practical option for buyers who want comfort and guest capacity in a convenient location near Pigeon Forge and the park.

Thunder Mountain recorded 1 new active listing and 1 pending sale during the latest seven-day window. There were no closed sales to report, so the current read is centered on fresh inventory and one home that moved into contract after 73 days on market.
Activity in Thunder Mountain was driven by 2 listings: 1 new active property and 1 pending property. The pending cabin spent 73 days on market before going under contract, which gives buyers a useful reference point for how long a larger luxury home in this subdivision can sit before attracting an offer. There were no closed sales in the window, so there is no recorded closed-sale price, average days on market, or sale-to-list percentage to summarize this week. The new listing is positioned at the top end of the subdivision and stands out for its size, newer construction, mountain view setting, indoor pool, and theater-focused amenity package.

Sky Harbor Weekly Market Update: 1 New Listing and 2 Pendings
Sky Harbor recorded 1 new listing and 2 pending sales in the latest seven-day window. There were no closed sales to report this week, so the focus stays on current pricing and the two homes that moved under contract.
Activity in Sky Harbor this week was led by 1 new active listing and 2 pending properties. The pending side suggests buyers are still willing to act on well-positioned cabins here, while the newest listing adds a 2-bedroom, 2-bath mountain-view option at $475,000. There were no closed sales in the period, so there is no fresh closed-price, days-on-market, or sale-to-list data to summarize for this window.
New Log Cabins in Sky Harbor
New active log cabin listings recorded from September 14 through September 20, 2026.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,082 SqFt • Sky Harbor • 4 days on market • Built 1994
This new active cabin is priced at $475,000 for 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and 1,082 square feet on 0.51 acres. Its mountain and wooded views, fireplace, and relatively compact size make it a straightforward Sky Harbor option for buyers prioritizing setting and location over maximum square footage.
Sky Harbor Cabins Newly Under Contract
Cabins that moved into pending status during this reporting window.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,308 SqFt • Sky Harbor • 24 days on market • Built 2008
This pending 2-bedroom, 2-bath cabin spent 24 days on market before going under contract, which points to a marketable but not immediate pace. The listing highlights a strong short-term rental track record and a furnished, amenity-heavy setup, which likely helped support buyer interest at the $469,900 list price.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,382 SqFt • Sky Harbor • 194 days on market • Built 2007
This 2-bedroom, 2-bath cabin went pending after a long 194-day marketing period at a $475,000 list price. The remarks emphasize updates, furnishings, and existing reservations, so the property appears to have been positioned more as an income-oriented mountain retreat than a basic second home.

Pinnacle View recorded 1 new active listing and no pending or sold closings this week. The standout was a 5-bedroom, 5.5-bath log cabin on 1.84 acres with 4,533 square feet, long-range mountain views, and a list price of $1,299,000.
The week in Pinnacle View was defined by one new active listing, with no pending sales and no closed sales to report. The new cabin is a large, updated lodge-style property with an active STR permit, extensive decking, and broad Smoky Mountain views, which likely positions it as one of the subdivision’s more notable offerings. Because there were no closed sales in the window, there is no recorded average sold price, average days on market, or sale-to-list ratio to report for this period.
New Log Cabins in Pinnacle View
New active log cabin listings recorded from September 14 through September 20, 2026.
5 Beds • 6 Baths • 4,533 SqFt • Pinnacle View • 5 days on market • Built 2008
This is the key new listing in Pinnacle View: a 5-bedroom, 5.5-bath log cabin with 4,533 square feet, an active STR permit, and a large 1.84-acre lot. Its strongest decision-useful features are the updated exterior and deck package, the mountain-view setting, and the size, which may appeal to buyers looking for a higher-capacity cabin rather than a smaller vacation property.
Market activity was checked through September 20, 2026. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed; buyers and sellers should verify property details independently.
Foothills Estates Weekly Market Update: One New Listing, One Closed Sale
Foothills Estates recorded 1 new listing and 1 closed sale during the Sept. 14-20 window. The closed sale finished at $1,140,000 after 115 days on market, with the sale price landing at about 95.1% of list.
This week in Foothills Estates, activity was balanced by count but different in timing: 1 home came to market and 1 home closed. The recorded sale posted a $1,140,000 closing price, averaged 115 days on market, and achieved roughly 95.1% of list price. The new listing, 3120 Lexy Lane, adds a 3-bedroom cabin with broad mountain-and-woods views, updated systems, and a layout that supports either second-home use or short-term rental positioning.

New active log cabin listings recorded from September 14 through September 20, 2026.
3 Beds • 3 Baths • 2,355 SqFt • Foothills Estates • 6 days on market • Built 2003
This new 3-bedroom, 3-bath cabin is positioned as a flexible second home or short-term rental option, with furnishings available and a layout that includes a main-level suite, two upstairs guest rooms, and a lower-level game room. The updated HVAC systems, refreshed exterior staining, and covered outdoor spaces should help it stand out for buyers looking for a move-in-ready mountain cabin in Foothills Estates.
Recent Foothills Estates Log Cabin Sales
Recorded closings in qualifying cabin communities from September 14 through September 20, 2026.
3 Beds • 5 Baths • 2,881 SqFt • Foothills Estates • 115 days on market • Built 2026 • Sold at 95.1% of list price
This closed sale shows that a larger, newer luxury cabin in Foothills Estates took 115 days to reach the finish line and closed at about 95.1% of its asking price. The private indoor pool, mountain views, and turnkey presentation likely supported the result, but the longer market time suggests buyers were deliberate at this price point.

Douglas Lake Resort recorded 1 new active listing and 1 pending home this week. No closed sales were reported in the seven-day window, so the clearest signals came from current pricing and the one long-running listing that moved into pending status.

The new active listing came to market at $520,000, while the pending cabin was last listed at $375,000 after 204 days on market.

2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,118 SqFt • Douglas Lake Resort • 3 days on market • Built 2000
This new 2-bedroom, 2-bath log cabin is positioned as a fully furnished lake-and-mountain-view property with a short-term rental permit already in place.

2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,008 SqFt • Douglas Lake Resort • 204 days on market • Built 2000
This 2-bedroom, 2-bath cabin went pending after 204 days on market, which points to a longer marketing period before a contract was secured. Its selling points are the private, one-level layout, larger lot size, and close access to the boat ramp, dock, pool, and clubhouse.
Market activity was checked through September 20, 2026. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed; buyers and sellers should verify property details independently.
Alpine Mountain Village recorded 1 new listing and 1 pending sale in the latest seven-day window. No closed sales were reported, so there were no subdivision-wide sale-price, days-on-market, or sale-to-list averages to summarize this week.
Activity in Alpine Mountain Village was limited but clear: one large new cabin hit the market and one property moved to pending status. The new active listing is a 6-bedroom, 8-bath, 4,700-square-foot cabin at 326 Alpine Mountain Way, while the pending property at 1276 Bavarian Way is a newer 6-bedroom short-term rental with a larger price point and a longer marketing period before going under contract. With no closed sales in the window, there is no fresh benchmark for sale price, average days on market, or sale-to-list performance this week.
New Log Cabins in Alpine Mountain Village
New active log cabin listings recorded from September 14 through September 20, 2026.
6 Beds • 8 Baths • 4,700 SqFt • Alpine Mountain Village • 2 days on market • Built 2008
This new 6-bedroom, 8-bath cabin is positioned as a large-format rental with 4,700 square feet, strong entertaining space, and a premium location near the Parkway and Dollywood. The listing remarks also include reported revenue claims for 2024 and year-to-date 2026, but those figures are unverified and should be treated as marketing claims rather than confirmed performance.
Alpine Mountain Village Cabins Newly Under Contract
Cabins that moved into pending status during this reporting window.
6 Beds • 6 Baths • 2,880 SqFt • Alpine Mountain Village • 141 days on market • Built 2024
This pending 2024-built cabin was listed at a higher price point and took 141 days to reach pending status, which suggests the market needed time to absorb the offering. The remarks emphasize a pool, rooftop deck, and reported 2025 income claim, but the decision-useful takeaway is that the property was a long-marketed, amenity-heavy STR before it went under contract.
Market activity was checked through September 20, 2026. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed; buyers and sellers should verify property details independently.
This week’s Smoky Mountain subdivisions roundup logged 43 new listings, 25 pending sales, and 17 closed sales. Closed homes averaged 107.1 days on market and sold at an average 97.17% of list price, with a median closed price of $775,000; compared with the prior window, the median closed price was higher, average days on market were longer, and sale-to-list performance improved modestly.
Fresh inventory was active across cabin and lodge communities, while a sizable pending group showed where buyers were willing to step in after longer market times in several cases. The closed-sales set posted a stronger median price than the prior window, but it also took longer to move on average, suggesting buyers are still discriminating even as well-positioned properties continue to clear at close to asking. Reported and projected rental figures in several listings may support investor interest, but those claims remain unverified unless independently confirmed.
New Smoky Mountain Subdivisions Log Cabin Listings
New active log cabin listings recorded from September 14 through September 20, 2026.
6 Beds • 8 Baths • 4,700 SqFt • Alpine Mountain Village • 2 days on market • Built 2008
This new 6-bedroom Alpine Mountain Village cabin is positioned for large-group stays, with 8 baths, 4,700 square feet, and a location close to the Strip and Dollywood. The listing also includes reported gross-income figures in the remarks, but they are unverified and should be treated as marketing claims.
5 Beds • 5 Baths • 2,600 SqFt • Fiddlers Creek Pud • 2 days on market • Built 2021
A 2021-built 5-bedroom cabin in Fiddlers Creek Pud, this one stands out for its central Pigeon Forge location, theater room, game room, and city utilities. The remarks also cite an AirDNA-based grossing claim, which is a listing-remarks projection and not independently verified.
3 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,546 SqFt • White Oak Estates • 2 days on market • Built 2006
This White Oak Estates cabin leans on privacy, wooded surroundings, and a strong indoor-outdoor setup, including a theater room, hot tub, and no HOA. For buyers focused on livability rather than resort density, that combination may be the main draw.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,344 SqFt • Silver Mine Hollow • 3 days on market • Built 1991
Silver Mine Hollow offers acreage, long-range mountain views, and a location minutes from Dollywood, with a wraparound deck and gazebo for outdoor living. The septic permit limits the property to 2 bedrooms on paper even though the home offers three sleeping rooms, which matters for use and valuation.
2 Beds • 4 Baths • 2,808 SqFt • Legacy Mountain • 3 days on market • Built 2007
This Legacy Mountain duplex cabin is unusual: two separate units, each with its own deck and kitchen, creating flexibility for an owner-user or investor. The community amenities and easy access are helpful, while the seasonal view and winter-leaning outlook are the main caveats.
2 Beds • 3 Baths • 1,936 SqFt • English Mtn Sec G • 3 days on market • Built 1994
English Mtn Sec G brings together a private 1.75-acre setting, strong views, and a flexible lower-level suite with separate entrance. The solar system, filtration upgrades, and insulated garage add practical value beyond the scenery.

1 Beds • 2 Baths • 910 SqFt • Hidden Mountain • 4 days on market • Built 1990
Hidden Mountain’s Misty Mountain Cabin is a smaller 1-bedroom option with a rare level backyard, privacy, and thoughtful outdoor improvements. For buyers who want easier access and usable outdoor space, that setup may be more compelling than square footage alone.
2 Beds • 3 Baths • 2,161 SqFt • White Oak Estates • 4 days on market • Built 2000
This White Oak Estates log cabin pairs a furnished interior with a larger recreation setup, screened porch hot tub, and convenient flat parking. It reads as a practical group-friendly cabin close to the core attraction corridor.
2 Beds • 1 Baths • 1,312 SqFt • Pinehaven Est • 4 days on market • Built 2000
In Wears Valley, this Pinehaven Est cabin offers a lower entry point with a flexible loft and bunk room, plus a porch-heavy layout suited to casual mountain stays. The location near Pigeon Forge and Cades Cove remains the selling point here.

Outback Resort Village delivers a larger luxury play with an indoor heated pool, theater, game loft, and mountain views in a 2021 build. The projected income noted in the remarks is a listing claim only, but the amenity package is clearly the story.
4 Beds • 4 Baths • 3,555 SqFt • Serenity Woods • 4 days on market • Built 2023
This Serenity Woods cabin combines newer construction, a large acreage parcel, and a strong run of reported rental performance in the remarks. The top-tier review history and low-maintenance finishes may appeal to investors looking for scale and durability.
1 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,248 SqFt • Bear Creek Crossing • 4 days on market • Built 2006
Bear Creek Crossing remains one of the stronger amenity-driven resort options, and this cabin uses that to good effect with a hot tub, games, and wheelchair ramp access. The resort package is a major part of the value here, especially for smaller cabins competing on amenities.
1 Beds • 2 Baths • 960 SqFt • The Oaks • 4 days on market • Built 2005
This The Oaks auction listing is less about fixed pricing and more about the bidding format, with short-term rental approval and a seasonal mountain view. Buyers should pay attention to the auction terms and the fact that the final price will be set by the bidding process.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,082 SqFt • Sky Harbor • 4 days on market • Built 1994
Sky Harbor offers mountain-view potential in a manageable 2-bedroom, 2-bath cabin with a wooded setting and 0.51 acres. With limited remarks provided, location and setting do most of the work here.

For By Grace is a newly built, high-capacity cabin with an indoor pool, theater, and game room, plus reported booking income in the remarks. Those income figures are unverified, but the construction age and sleeper capacity should keep it on investor shortlists.

This Shagbark creekside cabin stands out for its setting right on flowing water, loft game room, and fully furnished turnkey presentation. The creek location gives it a different feel than the more typical view-based cabins in the area.
3 Beds • 3 Baths • 1,860 SqFt • Dogwood Farms Phase V • 4 days on market • Built 2001
Dogwood Farms Phase V offers a larger 3-bedroom layout with a game room, bunk beds, and mountain-view dining, making it geared toward group stays. The remarks also note no current STR permit, which is an important constraint for investors.
2 Beds • 3 Baths • 2,294 SqFt • Dogwood Farms Phase 1 • 4 days on market • Built 1995
Another Dogwood Farms offering, this one leans on accessibility, flat parking, and wide-open outdoor living with mountain views. The main-level primary suite and porch-and-hot-tub setup should resonate with buyers who value easier daily use.
2 Beds • 3 Baths • 2,298 SqFt • Dogwood Farms Phase 1 • 4 days on market • Built 1999
This Dogwood Farms Phase 1 cabin has a classic mountain setting with big deck space, a loft, and a main-level primary suite. The layout and mountain views are the main decision points here, especially for buyers who want privacy without sacrificing access.
6 Beds • 7 Baths • 4,800 SqFt • For By Grace Resort • 4 days on market • Built 2022
For By Grace Resort brings an indoor pool, theater, game room, and substantial sleeping capacity together in a 2022 cabin. It is clearly aimed at larger groups, with the amenities doing the heavy lifting.
3 Beds • 3 Baths • 1,280 SqFt • Valley High • 5 days on market • Built 1985

5 Beds • 6 Baths • 4,533 SqFt • Pinnacle View • 5 days on market • Built 2008
Pinnacle View combines large-lot privacy, major updates, and an active STR permit with a lodge-style layout and broad mountain views. The reported projected income in the remarks is unverified, but the property’s scale and setting make it easy to understand the appeal.

Cabins that moved into pending status during this reporting window.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,824 SqFt • Highland Park • 82 days on market • Built 2026
This Highland Park cabin spent a long time on market before going pending, which suggests pricing or positioning may have needed time to align. The new construction, full furnishings, and close-to-Dollywood location are still the core value points.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,308 SqFt • Sky Harbor • 24 days on market • Built 2008
Bearadise in Sky Harbor went pending after a moderate market run, supported by strong review scores and a well-liked wraparound deck setup. The guest ratings and wooded setting likely helped it stand out.

Legacy Mountain remains amenity-driven, and this cabin’s pending status after a longer marketing period suggests buyers were willing to wait for the right fit. The resort pool, easy roads, and proven guest-friendly layout are the main takeaways.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,082 SqFt • Eagle Crest • 121 days on market • Built 2000
This Eagle Crest cabin moved to pending after a long exposure period, but it brought the kind of hard-number rental history that investor buyers study closely. Reported 2024 and 2023 income figures, plus high occupancy, were the key marketing points.

3 Beds • 5 Baths • 3,456 SqFt • The Oaks • 29 days on market • Built 2008
The Oaks cabin moved pending with a large footprint, multiple king rooms, and wide-open mountain views aimed squarely at group rentals. The listed gross-rent projection is a marketing estimate, not a verified performance figure.

2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,382 SqFt • Sky Harbor • 194 days on market • Built 2007
This Sky Harbor cabin went pending after a long run, and the remarks show why: strong mountain atmosphere, functional updates, and a fully furnished presentation.

Thunder Mountain is a large-format cabin with theater, game room, ramp access, and a layout built around group travel. The pending result after a long market period suggests the market needed time to absorb a property at this scale and price.

Chalet Village North delivers one of the stronger view-driven pending listings, with expansive decks and a long list of recent improvements. The projected rental range in the remarks is a listing estimate, not an independently verified forecast.
4 Beds • 5 Baths • 2,511 SqFt • The Lodges At Reedmont • 53 days on market • Built 2024
The Lodges At Reedmont cabin pairs a newer build with an indoor pool and strong reported 2025 gross rental income. The high occupancy mention in the remarks suggests the property has been performing as a busy rental, though that claim is unverified.
Smoky Mountain Subdivisions Log Cabins Sold This Week
Recorded closings from September 14 through September 20, 2026.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,248 SqFt • Sherwood Forest • 33 days on market • Built 2002 • Sold at 97.8% of list price
Sherwood Forest closed slightly below list after 33 days on market, a relatively efficient sale in this week’s group. The final price held close to asking, which fits the property’s amenity-rich resort positioning.
4 Beds • 4 Baths • 2,080 SqFt • Echota Resort • 36 days on market • Built 1996 • Sold at 93.3% of list price
Echota Resort closed in 36 days and near the list price, backed by reported 2025 gross income and a long review history in the remarks. The easy Parkway access and strong guest setup likely supported the sale.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 912 SqFt • Lennard Prop • 63 days on market • Built 1993 • Sold at 95.5% of list price
This Lennard Prop cabin closed at a meaningful discount to list, even though the location and no-STR-use zoning made it more of a permanent-home play. That kind of buyer pool is usually narrower, which can affect pricing.
1 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,510 SqFt • Dogwood Farms Phase Iii • 84 days on market • Built 1997 • Sold at 100.1% of list price
Dogwood Farms Phase Iii closed just above list, and the upgraded roof, HVAC, and deck staining likely helped the outcome. With mountain views and broad use options, it was an approachable size for both end users and investors.
4 Beds • 6 Baths • 2,586 SqFt • Covered Bridge Resort • 96 days on market • Built 2026 • Sold at 102.1% of list price
This Covered Bridge Resort cabin closed above list and included a projected income claim in the remarks, which should be treated as marketing language rather than verified performance. The indoor pool and 2026 build likely helped keep buyer interest strong.
4 Beds • 6 Baths • 2,586 SqFt • Covered Bridge Resort • 121 days on market • Built 2026 • Sold at 101.0% of list price
A similar Covered Bridge Resort property in Pigeon Forge also closed above list, reinforcing how this amenity-driven format can hold value. The indoor pool, theater, and group-friendly layout fit the buyer profile in this segment.
6 Beds • 7 Baths • 4,794 SqFt • Smoky Mountain Ridge • 134 days on market • Built 2020 • Sold at 93.8% of list price
Smoky Mountain Ridge closed below list after a longer marketing period, despite the indoor pool and large-lodge presentation. The discount suggests buyers were selective on pricing even for a high-amenity cabin.
4 Beds • 4 Baths • 2,445 SqFt • Bear Creek Crossing • 83 days on market • Built 2019 • Sold at 101.9% of list price
Bear Creek Crossing sold above list in 83 days, and the private pool room plus resort access likely supported that result. At this price point, strong amenities and proximity to the Parkway matter.
2 Beds • 3 Baths • 1,672 SqFt • Cedar Falls Phase 3 • 48 days on market • Built 2020 • Sold at 96.9% of list price
This Bear Creek Crossing cabin closed at a modest discount after 48 days, which is a solid result for a 2-bedroom with a large loft and outdoor living space. The custom-cabin format and location near attractions kept it competitive.
3 Beds • 3 Baths • 2,250 SqFt • Smokies Edge • 145 days on market • Built 2004 • Sold at 101.7% of list price
Smokies Edge closed above list after a long market period, helped by its STR permit and Wears Valley location between Pigeon Forge and Townsend. That close above asking suggests the right buyer was willing to stretch for the setting and rental potential.
4 Beds • 5 Baths • 3,815 SqFt • Homestead In Wears Valley • 50 days on market • Built 2026 • Sold at 97.9% of list price
Homestead In Wears Valley delivered one of the highest closes in this week’s set, at $1.515 million. The new construction, expansive views, and premium finishes clearly resonated in a luxury segment where presentation matters.
3 Beds • 4 Baths • 3,000 SqFt • The Oaks • 106 days on market • Built 2020 • Sold at 93.6% of list price
The Oaks cabin closed below list, despite strong reported booking numbers and accessible, amenity-rich features. The discount shows that even well-performing rentals can still meet market resistance when price runs ahead of buyer expectations.
3 Beds • 2 Baths • 2,100 SqFt • Saddleback Ridge Phase 3 • 189 days on market • Built 2023 • Sold at 81.9% of list price
Saddleback Ridge Phase 3 sold well below list after a long run, despite the creek setting and mountain charm. The remarks show motivation was part of the story, and buyers clearly responded to value rather than the original asking price.
2 Beds • 1 Baths • 852 SqFt • W R Leland • 333 days on market • Built 2025 • Sold at 102.5% of list price
Braydens Way in W R Leland sold above list after a very long time on market, which suggests the new-construction concept eventually found the right buyer. The reported rental projection in the remarks is a listing claim, not a verified result.
2 Beds • 3 Baths • 1,872 SqFt • Locust Ridge Views • 70 days on market • Built 2018 • Sold at 100.0% of list price
Locust Ridge Views sold at full asking, which is a strong result for a furnished cabin with updated systems and a seasonal-view setting. The close suggests the condition and location aligned well with the list price.
4 Beds • 5 Baths • 2,596 SqFt • Ogle Add • 115 days on market • Built 2024 • Sold at 96.8% of list price
This Gatlinburg new-build closed at $900,000, just under list, after a longer marketing period. No HOA, public utilities, and a turnkey presentation gave it a practical edge for either a second-home buyer or investor.
3 Beds • 5 Baths • 2,881 SqFt • Foothills Estates • 115 days on market • Built 2026 • Sold at 95.1% of list price
Foothills Estates closed below list, but it was still a sizable sale for a brand-new luxury cabin with a pool and mountain views. The turnkey design and indoor-outdoor layout were clearly aimed at the upper end of the rental market.

This week’s Sevierville snapshot featured 33 fresh actives, 18 pendings, and 12 closings. The closed-sale median rose to $775,500 from $625,000 in the prior window, while average days on market improved to 96.3 from 122.1.

New Sevierville Log Cabin Listings
New active log cabin listings recorded from September 14 through September 20, 2026.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,075 SqFt • Other • 2 days on market • Built 1998
This new Oakland Way listing is positioned around its fresh redesign and open-mountain-view setting, with the established overnight-rental use serving as the supporting detail. The reported rental use in the remarks is helpful context, but the most useful facts are the view, location, and updated presentation.
3 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,546 SqFt • White Oak Estates • 2 days on market • Built 2006
This newer White Oak Estates cabin is positioned well for buyers who want a finished, furnished, four-bedroom cabin with easy access to Pigeon Forge amenities. The all-in presentation and newer construction likely make it more competitive than older cabins at similar prices.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,344 SqFt • Silver Mine Hollow • 3 days on market • Built 1991
This Silver Mine Hollow cabin stands out for its acreage, long-range view, and outdoor living setup close to Dollywood. The flexible extra room and the lot size are the details that matter most if you are comparing it with more compact resort cabins.
2 Beds • 4 Baths • 2,808 SqFt • Legacy Mountain • 3 days on market • Built 2007
This duplex-style cabin is unusual enough to stand apart, especially for investors who want two units in one property just outside Pigeon Forge. The layout and dual-deck setup are the story here; the remarks also indicate one of the units may suit owner use while the other is rented.
2 Beds • 3 Baths • 1,936 SqFt • English Mtn Sec G • 3 days on market • Built 1994
This property is appealing for its privacy, acreage, and broad mountain-view setting, especially at a lower entry point than many of the larger resort cabins. The standout feature is the finished lower-level suite, which gives the home more flexibility than a standard two-bedroom mountain retreat.
4 Beds • 4 Baths • 2,972 SqFt • Other • 4 days on market • Built 2007
This large log cabin combines size, location, and a strong mountain-view package, which helped it stay relevant in a crowded active set. The established rental program is useful context, but the real decision factor is whether buyers need the space this cabin offers near Pigeon Forge.
1 Beds • 2 Baths • 910 SqFt • Hidden Mountain • 4 days on market • Built 1990
This smaller Hidden Mountain retreat is notable for its level backyard, outdoor living setup, and recent systems updates. For buyers, the key decision point is whether privacy and usability outweigh the absence of a mountain view in a market that often chases scenery.
2 Beds • 3 Baths • 2,161 SqFt • White Oak Estates • 4 days on market • Built 2000
This White Oak Estates cabin stands out for entertainment space, flat parking, and a screened porch with a hot tub, which are all practical advantages in this market. The furnishings and sleeping capacity make it easier to compare against other family-oriented cabins than against smaller honeymoon properties.
2 Beds • 1 Baths • 1,312 SqFt • Pinehaven Est • 4 days on market • Built 2000
This Wears Valley listing is aimed at value-focused buyers who want a furnished cabin close to Cades Cove and Pigeon Forge without a premium price tag. The loft and bunk-room setup make it a practical sleep-capacity play rather than a luxury one.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,118 SqFt • Douglas Lake Resort • 4 days on market • Built 2000
This Douglas Lake Resort cabin offers a classic mix of lake views, resort amenities, and a fully furnished presentation. The pending status suggests buyers still respond to the lake-and-mountain combination when the access and amenities are straightforward.
4 Beds • 4 Baths • 3,555 SqFt • Serenity Woods • 4 days on market • Built 2023
This large, newer luxury cabin remains one of the week’s clearest big-ticket STR plays, with a reported income story, multiple king suites, and low-maintenance exterior materials. The reported revenue numbers are from the listing remarks and should be treated as seller claims, not independently verified performance.
1 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,248 SqFt • Bear Creek Crossing • 4 days on market • Built 2006
Bear Creek Crossing remains a strong amenity-driven address, and this smaller cabin should benefit from the resort’s indoor and outdoor pool mix, waterfall, and mini golf. The wheelchair ramp and larger-than-expected square footage are practical details that may broaden the buyer pool.
1 Beds • 2 Baths • 960 SqFt • The Oaks • 4 days on market • Built 2005
This auction-format listing changes the conversation from a fixed asking price to bidding strategy, which means buyers should focus on location, condition, and their own ceiling rather than list-price assumptions. The short-term-rental approval is important, but the auction structure makes process and timing the real story here.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,082 SqFt • Sky Harbor • 4 days on market • Built 1994
This Sky Harbor cabin stands out because the listing emphasizes view, location, and classic cabin appeal without leaning on a heavy amenities package. For buyers comparing similar two-bedroom cabins, the main question is whether the setting and lot size justify the price relative to more feature-rich competition.
6 Beds • 7 Baths • 4,794 SqFt • For By Grace • 4 days on market • Built 2025
This is one of the week’s biggest and most amenitized active listings, with an indoor pool, theater, and an occupancy level designed for large groups. The reported 2025 and trailing-12-month income claims are from the remarks and unverified here, but they do show how the listing is being positioned in the market.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,420 SqFt • Shagbark Sec 3 • 4 days on market • Built 1976
This creekside cabin in Shagbark has one of the more distinctive settings in the week’s active list, and the flowing-water location is a major differentiator. The fully furnished, turnkey setup and gated-community backdrop make it appealing to both second-home and rental-minded buyers.
3 Beds • 3 Baths • 1,860 SqFt • Dogwood Farms Phase V • 4 days on market • Built 2001
This one is all about interior flexibility: multiple sleeping zones, a game room, and a layout that can support larger groups in a compact footprint. The note that it currently lacks an STR permit is the key decision point, because that will matter more than the furnishings for many buyers.
2 Beds • 3 Baths • 2,294 SqFt • Dogwood Farms Phase 1 • 4 days on market • Built 1995
This cabin offers a flexible mountain layout with good parking, strong outdoor living space, and the kind of view-oriented design buyers in Wears Valley tend to watch for. It reads as a practical lifestyle cabin first, with rental use as a secondary option if permitted and desired.
2 Beds • 3 Baths • 2,298 SqFt • Dogwood Farms Phase 1 • 4 days on market • Built 1999
This Dogwood Farms cabin leans on mountain views, outdoor space, and a roomy interior that can handle family groups. The main decision point is whether a buyer values the tucked-away feel enough to trade for a little more drive-time to the attractions.
3 Beds • 2 Baths • 2,062 SqFt • 4 days on market • Built 2008
This Douglas Lake property stands out more for setting and future upside than for a polished, fully finished presentation. The remark about room for TLC matters because buyers here are being asked to buy the location first and then decide how much work they want to take on.
6 Beds • 7 Baths • 4,800 SqFt • For By Grace Resort • 4 days on market • Built 2022
This large indoor-pool cabin remains positioned for group-rental buyers, and the scale plus entertainment package help explain why it stayed on the market long enough to reach contract. The reported 2025 earnings claim belongs to the listing remarks, but the real decision-useful point is the size, access, and year-round amenity set.
3 Beds • 3 Baths • 2,133 SqFt • Other • 5 days on market • Built 2023
This pending contemporary cabin combined newer construction with a flexible bonus sleeping room and an income story that the seller clearly used to attract attention. The closing-cost credit is a practical lever for buyers, and the reported net-income claim in the remarks is unverified here.
2 Beds • 3 Baths • 2,740 SqFt • Wonderland Woods • 5 days on market • Built 1997
This Wonderland Woods cabin is likely to appeal to buyers who want privacy, wooded surroundings, and room to add value in the basement. The seasonal view and flexible lower level matter more here than a long amenities list, because the cabin’s strength is usable space.
4 Beds • 4 Baths • 2,360 SqFt • Other • 5 days on market • Built 2025
This new farmhouse-style cabin is positioned as a higher-end build with four king suites and no HOA, which should appeal to both lifestyle buyers and investors. The remarks include a projection rather than a verified rental result, so the useful takeaway is the design flexibility and limited-cabin setting.
Sevierville Cabins Newly Under Contract
Cabins that moved into pending status during this reporting window.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,308 SqFt • Sky Harbor • 24 days on market • Built 2008
This pending Sky Harbor cabin had a long enough marketing period to suggest buyers were weighing the review history against the asking price. The review count and guest-favorite positioning are useful, but the main decision driver is still the cabin’s location between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,874 SqFt • Legacy Mountain • 105 days on market • Built 2007
This pending kept its appeal tied to Legacy Mountain amenities, easy roads, and a layout that sleeps larger groups without forcing steep-driveway compromises. The long list time before contract suggests the resort location helped, but buyers still worked at their own pace on a property in this price band.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,082 SqFt • Eagle Crest • 121 days on market • Built 2000
This one moved to pending after a long run, but the review history and strong reported rental performance made it an understandable candidate for a buyer focused on income. The remarks include explicit revenue claims that are reported by the listing and not independently verified here.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,008 SqFt • Douglas Lake Resort • 204 days on market • Built 2000
This Douglas Lake Resort cabin moved to pending after a very long marketing period, which underscores how location and one-level convenience can still win when the right buyer comes along. The private feel relative to the resort setting is probably what made this one stand out.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,510 SqFt • Fox Run • 20 days on market • Built 1984
This Fox Run property moved to pending with a practical update story: new deck, HVAC, bath updates, and good access. That kind of improvement package often matters more than flash when buyers are trying to avoid near-term maintenance.
3 Beds • 5 Baths • 3,456 SqFt • The Oaks • 29 days on market • Built 2008
This pending reflects how larger group cabins can still move when the layout, mountain views, and parking are all working together. The projected income language is clearly marketing, but the practical takeaway is that the size and entertainment spaces likely widened its buyer pool.
4 Beds • 5 Baths • 3,203 SqFt • Autumn View Estates • 126 days on market • Built 2003
This larger Wears Valley cabin needed time, but it ultimately found a buyer because the layout, size, and level-yard setting fit the premium second-home and STR audience. The key detail is the combination of multiple covered porches, parking, and a flexible basement level.
1 Beds • 2 Baths • 960 SqFt • Laughing Pines • 228 days on market • Built 2000
This one moved to pending after a long marketing run, which suggests the combination of a turnkey presentation, easy access, and the fully furnished setup found the right buyer profile. The main appeal is the compact, low-maintenance cabin format close to Pigeon Forge with a practical loft layout and a short-term-rental-friendly package.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,382 SqFt • Sky Harbor • 194 days on market • Built 2007
This pending cabin had a motivated-seller tone in the remarks, and the eventual contract suggests the market responded to that value proposition. The practical strengths are the Sky Harbor location, the established rental setup, and the multiple decks that support mountain-lifestyle use.
2 Beds • 3 Baths • 2,244 SqFt • Other • 61 days on market • Built 1994
This Sky Harbor cabin went pending after a moderate stretch on market, and the views plus established rental layout are the main reasons it stayed competitive. The long-range view description and game-room style lower level are the pieces a buyer will likely focus on first.
2 Beds • 3 Baths • 1,568 SqFt • Shagbark • 11 days on market • Built 2024
This pending continued to attract interest because it combines Shagbark security, an indoor pool, and a strong amenity mix in a newer build. For buyers, the key detail is the balance of privacy and resort features; for sellers, it shows how gated-community inventory can still get traction.
3 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,792 SqFt • Homestead In Wears Valley • 315 days on market • Built 2003
This contract took a long time, which tells you buyers were likely weighing the view, the Wears Valley setting, and the one-level convenience against time on market. The cabin’s broad appeal comes from privacy and easy access, not from a flashy amenity stack.
3 Beds • 5 Baths • 2,531 SqFt • Bluff Mtn Acres • 96 days on market • Built 2022
This nearly new Bluff Mountain cabin reached pending after a long listing period, which fits a luxury property with a strong feature set but a narrower buyer audience. The setting, suite-style bedrooms, and outdoor living spaces are the main decision points here.
3 Beds • 4 Baths • 4,774 SqFt • Thunder Mountain • 73 days on market • Built 2020
This luxury cabin moved to pending in Thunder Mountain after a long run, and its theater room, game room, and accessibility features are the obvious selling points. The remarks lean heavily into investor language, but the real attraction is the scale and resort-style entertainment package.
6 Beds • 7 Baths • 3,964 SqFt • Alpine Vista Resub • 132 days on market • Built 2025
This pending was driven by size, new construction, and the indoor-pool setup for larger groups, all of which tend to matter in the upper STR bracket. The long marketing span suggests that even strong amenity packages can take time when the price sits at the luxury level.
3 Beds • 5 Baths • 2,902 SqFt • Huskey Grove Est • 70 days on market • Built 2026
This pending shows buyers are still responding to newer cabins placed close to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, especially when the floor plan supports group use. The continued-show status implies the property remained marketable even after going under contract, which can help in this segment.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,248 SqFt • Shagbark • 6 days on market • Built 1995
This Shagbark cabin went pending quickly enough to show that gated access, strong proximity, and a main-level suite layout still resonate. The screened porch and recent improvements are the most decision-useful details for buyers comparing similar cabins.
4 Beds • 5 Baths • 2,511 SqFt • The Lodges At Reedmont • 53 days on market • Built 2024
This newer Reedmont cabin remains a strong example of how a well-designed STR can compete on occupancy, size, and guest-ready amenities. The reported 2025 gross revenue claim is from the listing remarks, but the more durable takeaway is the indoor pool, private suites, and high-capacity layout.
Sevierville Log Cabins Sold This Week
Recorded closings from September 14 through September 20, 2026.
4 Beds • 4 Baths • 2,080 SqFt • Echota Resort • 36 days on market • Built 1996 • Sold at 93.3% of list price
This closed sale fit the market well: a four-bedroom cabin with rental history, easy access, and a layout that supports group stays. The sold price below ask shows the buyer got some room on price, but the property still cleared at a solid level for its size.
1 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,510 SqFt • Dogwood Farms Phase Iii • 84 days on market • Built 1997 • Sold at 100.1% of list price
This one closed just above ask after a moderate marketing period, and the result fits a cabin with a polished look, strong mountain-view location, and a practical guest layout. Even with the revenue language in the remarks, the market ultimately rewarded the property for its condition and access more than the headline marketing.
4 Beds • 6 Baths • 2,586 SqFt • Covered Bridge Resort • 96 days on market • Built 2026 • Sold at 102.1% of list price
This sale closed slightly above list, which is notable for a newer cabin with an indoor pool and theater setup. The result suggests that well-finished, high-capacity properties with proven rental presentation can still command premium interest when the amenity package is strong.
6 Beds • 7 Baths • 4,794 SqFt • Smoky Mountain Ridge • 134 days on market • Built 2020 • Sold at 93.8% of list price
A high-end, large-capacity cabin like this can still sell, but this closing shows buyers were selective at the top end and did not chase the original ask. The mountain-view, pool, theater, and large-group layout remain the key strengths, yet the final price signals that premium inventory still has to be anchored to the market.
4 Beds • 4 Baths • 2,445 SqFt • Bear Creek Crossing • 83 days on market • Built 2019 • Sold at 101.9% of list price
This sold above list in Bear Creek Crossing, which suggests the pool-and-resort formula remains compelling when the cabin is updated and close to the Parkway. The transaction speed was decent, and the furnished, low-tax, rental-ready positioning likely helped.
2 Beds • 3 Baths • 1,672 SqFt • Cedar Falls Phase 3 • 48 days on market • Built 2020 • Sold at 96.9% of list price
This closed slightly below list, and that fits a well-located cabin that still drew solid demand but not a full-price chase. The resort access, wraparound porch, and rental-oriented design made it a practical acquisition rather than a speculative one.
3 Beds • 3 Baths • 2,250 SqFt • Smokies Edge • 145 days on market • Built 2004 • Sold at 101.7% of list price
This sale moved above list after a lengthy marketing period, which likely reflects that a usable permit, a solid cabin layout, and a Wears Valley location still carry weight. The transaction suggests buyers will pay for a property that already functions as an income-producing cabin when the package is complete.
4 Beds • 5 Baths • 3,815 SqFt • Homestead In Wears Valley • 50 days on market • Built 2026 • Sold at 97.9% of list price
This high-end new-construction sale confirms that buyers will still pay for premium finish quality, large-scale outdoor living, and a truly elevated view package. The closing below list suggests the market rewarded craftsmanship and setting, but not every aspirational price tag.
3 Beds • 4 Baths • 3,000 SqFt • The Oaks • 106 days on market • Built 2020 • Sold at 93.6% of list price
This closed sale shows that a highly amenitized, accessible cabin can still clear at a strong price even when the final number comes below list. The ADA-friendly features, private feel, and established rental positioning likely helped keep this one attractive to a narrow but serious buyer pool.
3 Beds • 2 Baths • 2,100 SqFt • Saddleback Ridge Phase 3 • 189 days on market • Built 2023 • Sold at 81.9% of list price
This closing shows how creekside setting, strong access, and a true turn-key furnishing package can still bring buyers even after a long time on market. The sold price landed well below list, so this is a useful reminder that motivated pricing can matter more than narrative when a property sits for months.
2 Beds • 3 Baths • 1,872 SqFt • Locust Ridge Views • 70 days on market • Built 2018 • Sold at 100.0% of list price
This sale held exactly at list, which is a good read on a cabin with a balanced price point, easy access, and a classic Smoky Mountain layout. The result suggests buyers were willing to meet the number when the property was turnkey and the feature set matched the market.
3 Beds • 5 Baths • 2,881 SqFt • Foothills Estates • 115 days on market • Built 2026 • Sold at 95.1% of list price
This closing near the million-dollar range shows buyers still value newer construction, indoor pool features, and wide-view Wears Valley settings when the property is presented as turnkey. The sale below list is a sign that larger cabins can attract serious interest, but they still need realistic pricing to convert.

Current Rate and Demand Context
For a Smoky Mountain short-term-rental cabin sale decision, the current backdrop is mixed: consumer mortgage rates are elevated but down from prior peaks, the Federal Reserve’s policy rate target is a separate benchmark and was raised on September 16–17, 2026, Great Smoky Mountains National Park visitation remains strong year-to-date, and national new-home inventory is still above a nine-month supply. That supports a market where pricing and timing matter more than a blanket "best time to sell" claim.

Matt's TakeMatt Maloney • The Maloney Team
In Sevierville, the market rewards the right cabin at the right price more than it rewards wishful pricing.
The current Sevierville market is active, but it is not a market where every listing can be stretched indefinitely. We saw 33 new listings, 18 pendings, and 12 closings this week, and the closings showed a stronger median price and faster average time to contract than the prior window. That said, mortgage rates are still elevated; Freddie Mac’s 30-year fixed average was 6.95% for the week of Sept. 17, while the Federal Reserve’s policy rate target sits in a separate range of 3.75% to 4.00% after the Sept. 16-17 move. Those are different benchmarks, and buyers feel the mortgage rate directly. For sellers, conditions can be favorable when the cabin is truly turnkey, the access is easy, the view or amenity package is distinctive, and the property is priced in line with recent sales rather than with the best-case story. That is especially true for cabins that can stand out among a still-looser national inventory backdrop and continued strong Smoky Mountains visitation. In plain terms: the best sellers are meeting the market where buyers already are, not waiting for buyers to chase them higher.
Sevierville Cabin Market FAQ
What should Sevierville buyers focus on first in this week’s market?
Start with the features that are hardest to change: location, access, sleeping layout, and view. This week’s list shows buyers still responding to cabins that combine easy roads, practical parking, and usable outdoor space with either a strong view or a resort amenity set. If you are shopping for an STR, verify the permit status, HOA rules, and how the bedroom count actually functions in the space. The highest-utility properties are the ones that work for both your use case and the guest experience you plan to offer.
What does this week say to Sevierville sellers?
The main message is that well-positioned cabins still sell, but price discipline matters. Closed sales this week averaged 96.5% of list, which tells you buyers are still paying close attention to value even when a property is attractive. Sellers who have strong access, updated interiors, and a clear mountain or amenity story are better positioned than those relying only on optimistic income language. If your cabin is unique, the market may reward that, but the ask still has to line up with comparable sales.
Why do some properties go pending while others stay active for weeks?
The difference is usually a mix of price, property type, and how narrow the buyer pool is. Larger luxury cabins can take longer because the pool of buyers is smaller, even when the amenities are excellent. Smaller cabins may move faster when they are clearly turnkey and close to the Parkway or resort amenities, but that is not automatic. This week’s pendings show that buyers are still willing to commit when the property matches their intended use and the pricing feels supportable.
How useful are the income figures mentioned in some listings?
They can be useful as a marketing clue, but they should not be treated as independently verified underwriting. Several remarks this week include reported or projected rental figures, and those are seller or listing-remark claims rather than third-party confirmation. The better way to use them is as a prompt to ask for documented histories, expense assumptions, permit details, and management arrangements. A buyer should always compare those claims against actual operating numbers and local restrictions before making a decision.
What is the limitation of this weekly report?
This report is a one-week snapshot of recorded activity in Sevierville, so it is good for reading current conditions but not for drawing broad conclusions about every price band or neighborhood. The closed-sale metrics are especially useful because they show actual transactions, while active and pending listings show what buyers are considering right now. When a property has only just been listed, low days on market simply means it is new to the market, not that it is moving quickly. For trend questions, it is best to compare multiple weekly windows rather than rely on a single sample.

New Gatlinburg Log Cabin Listings
New active log cabin listings recorded from September 14 through September 20, 2026.
3 Beds • 4 Baths • 2,320 SqFt • Potter S Ridge • 4 days on market • Built 2019
This Potters Ridge cabin combines newer construction, mountain views, and an in-town Arts and Crafts District location, which is a strong mix for both personal use and rental appeal. Its value proposition is the blend of size, modern finishes, and proximity to Gatlinburg rather than any single headline feature.
3 Beds • 4 Baths • 3,840 SqFt • Outback Resort Village • 4 days on market • Built 2021
This Outback Resort Village property sits at the top of the price range and offers a luxury-lodge profile with indoor pool appeal, a large sleeping capacity, and an active STR permit. The projected income claim may attract investor attention, but the bigger story is the scale and amenity set that targets large groups.
3 Beds • 3 Baths • 1,280 SqFt • Valley High • 5 days on market • Built 1985
This Valley High cabin is one of the strongest reported revenue plays in the active group, with a stated $98,000 in rental revenue last year and a strong guest rating in the remarks. Buyers should still separate the income claim from the underlying value drivers, which here are location, amenities, and a compact cabin footprint.
5 Beds • 6 Baths • 4,533 SqFt • Pinnacle View • 5 days on market • Built 2008
This large Pinnacle View lodge is aimed squarely at the upper end of the rental market, with 5 bedrooms, multiple living zones, and a substantial list of updates. The projected revenue claim in the remarks is unverified, so the more reliable signal is the property’s size, view setting, and access to major Gatlinburg routes.
1 Beds • 1 Baths • 818 SqFt • 6 days on market • Built 1993
This small Gatlinburg cabin stands out for its acreage and privacy at a very low entry price, but it is clearly being marketed as an opportunity for buyers with a renovation mindset. That makes condition, lot setting, and long-term vision more important than immediate polish.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,286 SqFt • Elk Cove Resort • 6 days on market • Built 2002
This Glades-area log cabin offers a practical 2-bedroom layout, loft sleeping space, and recent improvements, which makes it a usable rental or getaway right away. The best takeaway is the balance of price, location, and modest updates rather than any one standout feature.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,286 SqFt • Elk Cove Resort • 6 days on market • Built 2002
This duplicate listing for the Elk Cove Resort cabin is essentially the same 2-bedroom, 2-bath investment property as MLS 313848, so the main takeaway is its broad appeal as a modest-size STR with updates and a hot tub. Buyers comparing listings should focus on the exact address and board coverage before assuming these are separate opportunities.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,223 SqFt • Quail Run • 7 days on market • Built 1993
This active Quail Run cabin is a lower-priced Gatlinburg option with city utilities, a hot tub, and a layout that is already set up for short-term rental use. Its appeal is more about accessible entry price and convenience than luxury finish, which may help buyers looking for a value-add cabin in town.
12 Beds • 9 Baths • 5,464 SqFt • Tyrolea Sec 4 • 7 days on market • Built 1970
Bearadise Lodge is a high-capacity 12-bedroom property built for large-group rental use, and its creekside setting plus extensive amenities give it a very different profile from the smaller cabins in this report. The key consideration is scale: buyers here are likely evaluating occupancy potential, operational complexity, and guest experience all at once.
3 Beds • 2 Baths • 2,132 SqFt • Scenic Acres S/D • 7 days on market • Built 1985
This Scenic Acres log cabin stands out for its level lot, flexible finished rooms, and as-is pricing that may appeal to buyers willing to finish it to their own taste. The property’s mix of real square footage, no HOA, and conventional-or-cash terms makes the structure of the deal as important as the cabin itself.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,223 SqFt • Quail Run • 7 days on market • Built 1993
This Quail Run cabin is positioned as an affordable Gatlinburg short-term-rental option with city utilities, a hot tub, and room for cosmetic updates. For buyers, the main decision point is whether they want a lower entry price with value-add potential rather than a finished, turnkey look.
Gatlinburg Cabins Newly Under Contract
Cabins that moved into pending status during this reporting window.
3 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,600 SqFt • White Oak Lodge & Resort • 111 days on market • Built 2022
This pending White Oak Resort cabin is notable for its park-adjacent setting, resort amenities, and strong turnkey presentation. The long time on market before going pending suggests buyers were selective, but the furnished, rental-ready setup likely kept it competitive once the right match emerged.
6 Beds • 6 Baths • 2,880 SqFt • Alpine Mountain Village • 141 days on market • Built 2024
This pending Alpine Mountain Village cabin is one of the clearer income-focused listings in the week, with a reported 2025 revenue figure and a permit for large groups. Its rooftop pool, deck space, and proximity to Ober Gatlinburg give it a distinct high-end rental profile that is likely aimed at investors more than traditional second-home buyers.
5 Beds • 5 Baths • 3,964 SqFt • Chalet Village North • 146 days on market • Built 2007
This pending Ski View cabin combines strong views, a large footprint, and recent improvements, which helps explain why it remained in play for so long before going under contract. The projected income cited in the remarks may have supported investor interest, but the real story is the home’s view-driven positioning and updated utility.
5 Beds • 5 Baths • 3,622 SqFt • Alpendorf • 121 days on market • Built 2006
This active Alpine Chalet is already in pending status and brings a strong mix of location, guest ratings, and reported 2025 and 2026 revenue figures in the listing remarks. For buyers, the most decision-useful detail is the combination of active short-term rental status and detailed performance claims, which should still be verified independently.
Gatlinburg Log Cabins Sold This Week
Recorded closings from September 14 through September 20, 2026.
3 Beds • 3 Baths • 2,363 SqFt • 49 days on market • Built 1959 • Sold at 97.5% of list price
This closed historic-style retreat landed very close to ask, which indicates the location and restored character were well received. Its 49-day market time was much quicker than some of the larger luxury properties in this week’s sample, pointing to a narrower but more efficient buyer pool at this price point.
2 Beds • 1 Baths • 852 SqFt • W R Leland • 333 days on market • Built 2025 • Sold at 102.5% of list price
This closed Braydens Way cabin sold above list, which suggests the new-construction angle and negotiable furnishing package held up well with buyers. Even so, the long 333-day marketing period shows that niche inventory can take time to find the right buyer, even when the property is being positioned as a modern rental option.
4 Beds • 5 Baths • 2,596 SqFt • Ogle Add • 115 days on market • Built 2024 • Sold at 96.8% of list price
This closed luxury cabin reached $900,000 after 115 days on market, a solid result for a newer, fully furnished mountain retreat in a prime Gatlinburg setting. The combination of no HOA, public utilities, and multiple entertainment spaces likely helped it stand out to both investors and second-home buyers.
Current Rate and Demand Context
For a Smoky Mountain short-term-rental cabin sale decision, the current backdrop is mixed: consumer mortgage rates are elevated but down from prior peaks, the Federal Reserve’s policy rate target is a separate benchmark and was raised on September 16–17, 2026, Great Smoky Mountains National Park visitation remains strong year-to-date, and national new-home inventory is still above a nine-month supply. That supports a market where pricing and timing matter more than a blanket "best time to sell" claim.

Matt's TakeMatt Maloney • The Maloney Team
Mortgage rates and Fed policy are related, but they are not the same thing, and buyers need to keep that distinction straight when they read the market.
The week’s Gatlinburg activity shows a market that is still workable for sellers, but only when the cabin is priced and packaged for the buyer pool it is trying to reach. We had 11 new listings and 4 pendings, while the closed sales averaged a 98.9% sale-to-list ratio, so well-positioned properties can still clear close to asking even in a market where the average closing timeline stretched to 165.7 days. Freddie Mac’s 30-year fixed mortgage rate was 6.95% for the week of September 17, 2026, while the Federal Reserve’s target range was 3.75% to 4.00%; those are different benchmarks, and a change in the Fed target does not translate directly into a mortgage-rate move. The current conditions can favor a seller when inventory is limited in a specific price band, the cabin has a strong view or amenity package, or the property is already turnkey and easy to market. Larger group cabins, upgraded rentals with strong reported performance, and newer homes near downtown or Ober Mountain may still attract attention, but the pricing needs to match the competition and the carrying costs buyers are watching closely. In practice, that means owners with clean presentation, realistic pricing, and a clear story for the property are better positioned than owners who simply wait for a better headline.
Gatlinburg Cabin Market FAQ
What should buyers pay most attention to in this week’s Gatlinburg cabin report?
Buyers should focus on the mix of use case and price tier. This week’s new listings range from smaller value-add cabins to large, high-capacity lodge properties, so the right purchase depends on whether the goal is personal use, rental use, or both. The closed sales also show that well-matched listings can still sell near list price, but the timeline may be longer than buyers expect. In practical terms, location, view, and layout matter as much as the headline price.
What does this week say about sellers in Gatlinburg?
The market is not giving every seller the same result, but it is still rewarding properties with a clear market fit. The closed sales averaged almost 99% of list price, which suggests buyers are willing to pay close to ask when the property is positioned well. At the same time, the average days on market was lengthy, so overpricing can still slow down a sale. Sellers with updated cabins, strong rental usability, or standout views may have a better chance of attracting committed buyers.
Why are some of the active listings focused so heavily on rental claims?
Because in Gatlinburg, many buyers are evaluating cabins as both lifestyle purchases and income-producing assets. Several remarks highlight reported or projected rental performance, but those claims should be treated as listing-remark statements rather than independent verification. The more useful takeaway is that buyers are being shown occupancy, amenity, and location features that support rental appeal. In this week’s sample, that includes indoor or rooftop pool features, large-group layouts, and proximity to downtown or the national park.
How should I interpret the sold-price and days-on-market numbers?
The sold-price figures show what buyers actually paid during the week, while days on market shows how long it took to reach closing. This week’s three closed sales averaged 165.7 days on market, which tells you that even desirable cabins may take time before the right buyer commits. The median sold price of $769,900 is useful because it is less affected by the highest and lowest closings in the sample. Together, those numbers suggest that pricing and patience both matter.
How much confidence should I place in the weekly snapshot?
A weekly snapshot is useful for reading current activity, but it is still a small sample. This report captures one seven-day window in Gatlinburg, so it is best used to understand near-term pricing behavior, active inventory, and the kinds of cabins drawing attention right now. It should not be treated as a full-season or full-year verdict on the market. The best use is to compare this week’s property mix against your own cabin type, location, and price range.
