This week’s Gatlinburg market was led by new inventory and late-week contract activity, with 11 new listings, 3 pending sales, 2 closed sales, and 25 price changes across the city. The closed-sale sample averaged $522,500, with a 41.5-day average market time and a 95.0% average sale-to-list ratio. The new listings leaned heavily toward higher-end, amenity-rich cabins and several short-term-rental candidates, while the pendings and price reductions show sellers continuing to adjust for buyer sensitivity to pricing and financing costs. In the background, tourism demand remains a support for cabin demand, but affordability still matters, so well-positioned properties are getting the most attention.

New Gatlinburg Log Cabin Listings
New active log cabin listings recorded from September 21 through September 27, 2026.
- 770 Park Vista Way, GatlinburgNew $1,099,000
This newly listed 5-bedroom Gatlinburg Falls cabin stands out for its renovated interior, mountain-and-wooded setting, and strong amenity package with two game rooms, a theater, hot tub, and two community pools. The remarks also include reported and projected revenue claims, but those figures are unverified and should be treated as listing-remarks estimates.
- 3620 Moonshine Way, GatlinburgNew $1,375,000
Moonshine Way offers four true bedrooms, wraparound decking on two levels, and a layout built for larger groups in Cobbly Nob. Its appeal is the combination of privacy, outdoor living, and multiple entertainment spaces rather than any one feature alone.
- 714 Old Ridge Rd, GatlinburgNew $849,000
This newer 4-bedroom cabin pairs a mountain-view setting with a main-level primary bedroom setup and a game room downstairs, which makes the floor plan practical for families and guests. The home’s location near Gatlinburg and the National Park adds everyday usability to the mountain setting.
- 1124 Twin Oaks Road, GatlinburgNew $599,900
Chalet Village North inventory is attractive here because the cabin is already functioning as an overnight rental and the remarks cite reported 2025 and 2024 gross revenue claims, which remain unverified listing-remarks figures. The three-level layout, seasonal views, and community amenities should keep it on the radar for STR buyers.
- 741 Chestnut Drive, GatlinburgNew $1,199,000
This contemporary chalet is notable for its indoor pool, which is still one of the strongest differentiators in Gatlinburg’s upper-end cabin market. The three-level design and Chalet Village North location make it a clear amenity-first listing.
- 712 Nocks Drive, GatlinburgNew $899,000
Kingsridge buyers will likely focus on the flat lot, mountain views, and the added utility of a garage and storage shed, which are less common in the hills. The cabin is positioned as a furnished, move-in-ready option for second-home or rental use.
- 647 Kristis Place, GatlinburgNew $1,340,000
This high-view cabin is priced and positioned around its rental story, with reported 2025, 2026-to-date, and booked-forward revenue claims that are unverified listing-remarks statements. The main draw is the view corridor over downtown Gatlinburg paired with a finished lower level and outdoor hot-tub and sauna setup.
- 772 Deer Path Lane, GatlinburgNew $550,000
Deer Path in Cobbly Nob is a smaller-footprint cabin that leans on location and mountain community access rather than flashy amenities. It is a straightforward option for buyers wanting a Gatlinburg-area cabin with resort access and easy comparability.
- 531 Gatlin Drive, GatlinburgNew $935,000
This 5-bedroom Montgomery Woods cabin is built around group size and location, with the remarks citing reported annual gross rental revenue over $100K in both 2024 and 2025, which is unverified from the listing. The city utilities and access to Rocky Top Sports World help broaden its use case.
- 688 Ownby Drive, GatlinburgNew $479,900
This remodeled Arts & Crafts-area home is more of a residential play than a cabin investment, especially since the remarks say overnight rentals are not permitted. The updated finishes, main-level living, and walkable access to local shops and the trolley make it a practical permanent-residence option.
- 215 Circle Drive Unit 3, GatlinburgNew $699,000
Downtown walkability is the headline here, and that matters because true flat-access properties close to the action are scarce. The three-level townhome format and reported projected rental income claim of about $95,000 are designed to appeal to buyers who want both convenience and short-term-rental positioning, though the projection is unverified.
Gatlinburg Cabins Newly Under Contract
Cabins that moved into pending status during this reporting window.
- GatlinburgPending $885,000
This one is already under contract after a long 120-day run, which suggests the right feature mix eventually found a buyer despite the extended timeline. The large acreage, extra outbuilding, and view-heavy setup likely helped the property stay relevant.
- 1116 Greenbriar Village Lane, GatlinburgPending $1,125,000
Another long-marketed property has gone pending, and the appeal here is the scale: five bedrooms, multiple baths, and a lot of entertainment space. The listing’s price reduction likely helped move it toward a contract, but the exact contract terms are not provided.
- 755 Glory Ridge Way, GatlinburgPending $550,000
This Hemlock Hills log cabin went pending after a lengthy marketing period, which points to steady but selective demand for well-located mountain cabins. No-steep-road access, utility water and sewer, and a practical three-level layout are the details most buyers will weigh.
Gatlinburg Log Cabins Sold This Week
Recorded closings from September 21 through September 27, 2026.
- 656 Morning Mist Way, GatlinburgSoldFast Sale $425,000
This closed two-bedroom cabin sold for $425,000 after just 4 days on market, which shows how quickly the right entry-level STR product can move when it is priced and presented well. The closed price came in below list, so the sale still reflected some negotiation even with the fast pace.
- 712 Octagon Drive, GatlinburgSold $620,000
The Reserve closed at $620,000 after 79 days on market, giving buyers a clearer example of how a renovated, flexible-layout rental can trade once the right price is met. The final sale also shows that strong location and a proven rental story do not eliminate the need for patience.
Gatlinburg Cabin Price and Status Changes
Other verified listing changes detected since the prior weekly snapshot.
- 752 Loop Road, GatlinburgPrice Change $1,299,900
This major price reduction keeps the focus on the property’s walkability, new construction, and high-capacity STR setup near downtown and the National Park. The lower list price likely improves competitiveness for a large-group rental product, especially with the resort-style swim spa amenity.
- 535 Forrest Springs Drive, GatlinburgPrice Change $1,299,000
The indoor-pool cabin near downtown saw a price reduction while still marketing itself as a high-occupancy rental with easy access and no HOA. The combination of new construction, city services, and indoor pool positioning remains its strongest selling point.
- 919 Grey Fox Tr, GatlinburgPrice Change $599,900
This Cobbly Nob property dropped in price and still leans on its view, garage, and established vacation-rental setup. For buyers, the key question is whether the updated price better matches the home’s mixed-use flexibility and turnkey furnishing.
- 919 Grey Fox Trail, GatlinburgPrice Change $599,900
This is the same Gray Fox Lodge listing tracked under a second MLS number, and the price move mirrors the primary record. The decision-useful point is still the same: a furnished, amenity-rich cabin in Cobbly Nob with resort access and a downward price adjustment.
- 1607 Mountain Shadow Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $630,000
This new-construction Mountain Shadows cabin has been trimmed in price and is still aimed at both getaway buyers and STR investors. The City of Gatlinburg location, easy access, and resort amenities are the real positioning tools here.
- 3847 Warden Branch Lane, GatlinburgPrice Change $342,000
This compact creekside cabin stands out because it is self-managed and the remarks cite reported 2025 gross rental income of $36,934.32, which is unverified listing-remarks information. The price adjustment may help it appeal to buyers seeking a smaller STR with a track record and management flexibility.
- 1266 Bear Cub Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $780,000
This high-view Kingsridge cabin was nudged down in price and remains centered on its long-range view corridor and finished, turnkey presentation. The fact that it has not been on an STR program may appeal to buyers who want a second home first and rental optionality second.
- 230 Silverbell Lane, GatlinburgPrice Change $690,000
This chalet’s value proposition is straightforward: walkability to Gatlinburg, a furnished interior, and room for larger groups. The price reduction suggests the market is asking for sharper positioning even on a practical, amenity-loaded cabin.
- 514 Butler Branch Road, GatlinburgPrice Change $440,000
This creekside Cobbly Nob cottage combines a strong rental resume with acreage, an active STR permit, and unusual outdoor space for the area. The remarks include a reported 2026 projected figure of $30,000, which should be treated as an unverified listing claim.
- 1523 Gillespie Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $384,999
Chalet Village inventory like this tends to attract buyers who want a furnished, ready-to-use cabin close to downtown. The price move keeps it competitive, but the real hook is the renovated interior and established revenue story.
- 927 Statham Way Unit 2, GatlinburgStatus Change $539,900
This cabin moved from pending back to active, so buyers now have a second look at a well-rated overnight rental near the bypass. The 4.92-star rating and over 265 guest reviews are the most decision-useful indicators of its guest appeal.
- 1215 N Baden Drive, GatlinburgStatus Change $479,000
The A-frame’s creekside setting and Chalet Village location are the defining features here, especially for buyers who value a quieter mountain feel without giving up access. Since overnight rentals are allowed in this area, the home remains flexible for personal use or investment.
- 732 Beanstalk Road, GatlinburgPrice Change $994,000
This Kingsridge cabin has a strong view-driven identity, and the remarks back that up with long-running guest history and self-management flexibility. The reported review count and occupancy commentary suggest a well-established STR profile, but the performance details are still listing claims rather than independently verified data.
- 505 Hoot Owl Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $466,999
This small honeymoon cabin had a modest price cut and still leans on actual 2025 and 2024 income claims in the remarks, which are reported listing figures and not independently verified. For buyers, the most useful detail is that it is already set up as a compact, income-producing overnight rental.
- 3639 Moonshine Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $658,000
This larger Moon Shine Ridge cabin remains one of the stronger group-rental candidates in the set, with multiple king suites, wraparound decks, and a lower-level game room. The listed revenue history in the remarks helps frame why it is priced above smaller cabins in the area.
- 205 W Pinnacle Drive, GatlinburgStatus Change $749,999
This cabin went pending after a long stretch on market, and the step-free main-level access plus five-car parking likely helped broaden the buyer pool. Its location near the strip and attractions gives it a practical edge for both STR and personal use.
- 511 Houser Road, GatlinburgPrice Change $487,500
This log cabin continues to market as a smaller, well-updated overnight-rental option close to downtown Gatlinburg. The creekside setting, fresh interior updates, and game room make it more practical than flashy, which should help buyers compare it against other one-bedroom cabins.
- 909 Black Wolf Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $829,990
This large mountaintop chalet was reduced in price and still offers a rare combination of size, views, and group-oriented amenities. The sprinkler system and occupancy capacity are especially important for buyers evaluating compliance and rental scale.
- 914 High Mountain Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $496,899
This one-bedroom cabin has been priced down but still leans on revenue-focused positioning, with the remarks saying it generated $60K last year and projections hit a $75K median; those figures are unverified listing claims. The mountain view, hot tub, and community pool access are the features most likely to matter to buyers comparing smaller STRs.
- 440 Winfield Heights Road, GatlinburgPrice Change $2,384,000
This downtown-adjacent log-style cabin is a rare size-and-location play, with elevator access, multiple suite bedrooms, and a major walk-to-town advantage. The price adjustment matters because the property is competing in a higher-end slice of the market where access and parking carry real weight.
- 715 Upper Windsor Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $505,000
This Cobbly Nob retreat combines a classic cabin feel with updated entertainment features like a new arcade and spa, which should keep it relevant for family groups. The long days on market suggest buyers are being selective even on properties with a clear mountain getaway identity.
- 519 Picadilly Lane, GatlinburgStatus Change $449,900
This chinked log cabin has a long marketing period, but the appeal is still clear: acreage, three levels, and a well-updated interior in Cobbly Nob. The lack of consistent rental-income history in the remarks matters for buyers who need performance data rather than just potential.
- 204 Hill St, GatlinburgPrice Change $844,000
This historic downtown-area property is unusual because it was once a bed-and-breakfast and now functions as a larger single-unit rental. The walkable location, en-suite bedroom count, and flat parking make it one of the more distinctive properties in the week’s inventory.
- 228 Braydens Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $379,900
This Braydens Way cabin is a finished new-construction product with a clear price adjustment and a straightforward rental pitch. The most useful detail is the combination of ready-to-close status, small-format cabin design, and development amenities like the pickleball court.
- 216 Braydens Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $379,900
This is the same Braydens Way product under a second MLS record, and the pricing now sits at the same level as the other unit records. For buyers comparing these cabins, the main decision point is whether they want a turnkey new-build near town with shared development amenities.
- 204 Braydens Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $379,900
This cabin is another identical Braydens Way unit, so the pricing and positioning are effectively the same as the nearby records. The useful takeaway is that the development is offering multiple similar options, which gives buyers room to compare lot, finish, and timing.
- 210 Braydens Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $379,900
This unit matches the other Braydens Way offerings and remains part of the same build-out story. For a buyer, the key is whether a smaller, modern cabin in a managed development fits the intended use better than a larger standalone property.
- 204-228 Braydens Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $1,519,600
This portfolio listing represents the remaining four Braydens Way units, with the remarks noting that two are sold and two are pending. That structure makes it a scale play for investors, while the per-cabin projection claim should be treated as a listing-remarks estimate.
- 1695 Misty Hollow Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $490,000
This newer Mountain Shadows cabin had a price reduction and still markets itself as a fully furnished retreat with strong income potential. The appeal is the combination of city access, resort amenities, and a compact footprint that may be easier to maintain.
Current Rate and Demand Context
As of the week ending 2026-09-27, mortgage costs were still elevated, the Fed had just tightened policy again, Great Smoky Mountains visitation remained very strong year to date, and national new-home inventory was still ample by historical standards. These conditions suggest cabin sellers face a tradeoff: strong tourism demand helps occupancy potential, but higher financing costs can limit buyer affordability, so pricing and timing matter more than any blanket ‘best time to sell’ claim.
- Freddie Mac 30-year fixed mortgage rateFreddie Mac’s PMMS page shows the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaging 7.03% as of September 24, 2026; the page notes PMMS is released weekly on Thursdays.Freddie Mac PMMS — 2026-09-24

Mortgage rates set the monthly payment buyers feel, while the Fed’s policy moves influence the broader cost of money over time—and that is not the same thing.
Gatlinburg’s weekly read is straightforward: there is still demand for well-located cabins, but buyers are being careful, and pricing discipline matters more when mortgage costs stay elevated. Freddie Mac’s 30-year fixed average near 7.03% keeps financing expensive for many buyers, even though the Federal Reserve’s recent policy move lifted its target range to 3.75% to 4.00%; those are related but different levers, and only the mortgage market directly hits a buyer’s payment. Tourism is still supportive, with Great Smoky Mountains visitation running strong, so owners with a quality cabin, easy access, or a strong rental story can still be in a favorable position. Sellers are most likely to benefit when the property is well maintained, correctly priced for its size and amenities, and marketed in a segment where inventory is thinner—such as walkable downtown units, true group cabins, indoor-pool homes, or updated properties with proven rental appeal. That does not mean every owner should rush to sell, but it does mean timing and pricing matter more now than they would in a lower-rate environment.
Gatlinburg Cabin Market FAQ
What stands out most in this week’s Gatlinburg market?
The biggest story is activity: 11 new listings and 3 pending sales in one week, with two closings adding real pricing data to the mix. That tells us inventory is still being refreshed even as buyers continue to absorb select properties. The new list is top-heavy with cabins that lean on views, walkability, or amenity packages, while the pendings show that well-positioned homes can still move to contract. For sellers, the message is that presentation and pricing still matter more than broad market headlines.
How should buyers read the two closed sales?
The two closed sales averaged $522,500 and 41.5 days on market, and they sold for about 95.0% of list price. That is useful because it shows the market is still willing to transact, but it is not generally paying full asking price across the board. One sale went quickly and one took longer, which is a reminder that property type and pricing strategy matter. Buyers should use those closings as a benchmark, not a guarantee of similar results on every cabin.
What should sellers take from the 25 price changes?
Price reductions are a sign that the market is asking for sharper positioning, especially on listings that have been sitting for several weeks or months. In this week’s Gatlinburg data, several cabins kept their core story intact—location, view, STR potential, or new construction—but moved lower to stay competitive. That does not mean every property is overpriced; it does mean buyers are comparing options carefully. Sellers with a strong feature set may still do well, but the initial number has to match the property’s segment and condition.
How do these Gatlinburg listings differ by buyer type?
Some properties are clearly aimed at short-term rental buyers, especially the cabins with reported or projected revenue claims, higher guest capacity, or strong amenity packages like indoor pools and game rooms. Others, like the Arts & Crafts-area home and certain remodeled cabins, lean more toward primary residence or second-home use. Downtown walkability is a separate niche and can matter just as much as a view for some buyers. The practical approach is to match the property’s use rules, layout, and location to your own goal before focusing on the headline features.
How reliable is a one-week market sample like this?
A one-week snapshot is useful for current direction, but it is still a sample, not the whole market. It can show what buyers and sellers are choosing right now, especially when you see new listings, pendings, closings, and price changes together. It does not prove a long-term trend by itself, and it should not be stretched into a broad market forecast. The safest way to use it is as a tactical read on pricing, property type, and location within Gatlinburg.
Market activity was checked through September 27, 2026. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed; buyers and sellers should verify property details independently.
