New Gatlinburg Log Cabin Listings
New active log cabin listings recorded from September 28 through October 4, 2026.
- 1404 S Baden Drive, GatlinburgNew $899,900
This new active listing is a well-finished five-bedroom cabin with broad views, a main-level primary suite, and no past rental history. It is best read as a carefully maintained second-home or investment candidate whose main strengths are the view, size, and turnkey condition.
- 2123 Luzerne Drive, GatlinburgNew $650,000
This Chalet Village cabin is a compact four-bedroom option with strong group-friendly layout, game room space, and a prime location near downtown and Ober Mountain. It is the kind of active listing that may appeal to buyers who want bedroom count and access more than resort flash.
- 920 W Cedar Lane, GatlinburgNew $799,900
This Chalet Village North home leans heavily on custom updates, a two-car garage, and an owner-occupied feel rather than a pure rental profile. The reported projected income in the remarks should be treated as seller claim, but the core value is the newer construction and extra utility.
- 1016 Rast Court, GatlinburgNew $599,900
This property is one of the more interesting mixed-use opportunities in the set because the remarks emphasize demonstrated revenue and flexible sleeping arrangements. The large lot and close-to-town location may make it especially appealing to investors who want size without a luxury-lodge price tag.
- 704 SE Selma Lane, GatlinburgNew $445,000
This Glades-area cabin is priced as a practical, updated entry into the Gatlinburg market, with a good lot size and a clean list of recent improvements. For buyers who prioritize affordability and condition over resort amenities, it deserves a close look.
- 1068 E Foothills Drive, GatlinburgNew $659,900
This cabin pairs a high-altitude view with a reported nearly $80,000 in gross rental revenue for 2025 in the remarks, which is a seller claim and not independently verified here. The real selling points are the LeConte views, guest-friendly layout, and resort access that keep it competitive for investors.
- 661 Morning Mist Way, GatlinburgNew $429,000
This Morning Mist Resort cabin stands out for practical sleeping separation, a game loft, and an easy location near downtown and the park. It is a useful midrange option for buyers who want a cabin that can serve either personal use or STR purposes without chasing a luxury price bracket.
- 344 Silverbell Hgts Lane, GatlinburgNew $680,000
This newer Silverbell Heights cabin offers a clean, city-close alternative with ensuite bedrooms, no HOA fees, and year-round access. For buyers who want modern construction near downtown without resort dues, it is one of the more straightforward choices in the week’s inventory.
Gatlinburg Log Cabins Sold This Week
Recorded closings from September 28 through October 4, 2026.
- 1019 Potters Way, GatlinburgSold $820,000
This closed sale delivered an indoor pool, strong bedroom count, and an upscale Laurel Estates location, which helped it command a high dollar value at closing. At 248 days on market, though, it also shows that premium cabins can still take time to find the right buyer.
- 345 Gatlin Drive, GatlinburgSold $650,000
This closed home sold below list after a steady run on market, which suggests the buyer saw value in the privacy and craftsmanship more than in pure short-term-rental scale. It shows that not every Gatlinburg sale is about high occupancy; some are about lifestyle fit.
- 625 Gatlinburg Falls Way, GatlinburgSold $540,000
This sold Gatlinburg Falls cabin closed close to list after a relatively short run, showing steady demand for mid-size log cabins in established resorts. Updated systems and a functional two-level layout likely helped it land on a cleaner sale outcome than some longer-listed peers.
- 462 Loop Rd, GatlinburgSold $1,225,000
This sold new-construction lodge closed with indoor pool, theater, and high occupancy capacity, which explains its strong pricing compared with smaller cabins. The sale reinforces that brand-new, amenity-heavy properties can still bring premium results when the package is complete.
Gatlinburg Cabin Price and Status Changes
Other verified listing changes detected since the prior weekly snapshot.
- 1126 E Foothills Drive, GatlinburgStatus Change $665,000
This Valley High cabin moved from active to pending and brings a reported $98,000 in rental revenue in the listing remarks, which we treat as unverified seller marketing. The 4.9 rating and updates probably helped, but the pending status is the key market signal here.
- 749 Yona Trail Way, GatlinburgStatus Change $730,000
This Black Bear Falls cabin is now pending and stands out for its easy road access, community pool, and strong mountain-view setting. Those are practical features for both guests and second-home owners, especially in a resort where convenience matters.
- 1523 Gillespie Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $384,998
This Chalet Village chalet keeps its turnkey angle front and center, with furnishings, hot tub, and a rental-ready setup included. The tiny price change does little to alter the story; the real value is the resort location and packaged convenience.
- 840 E Highland Drive, GatlinburgPrice Change $320,000
This Arts & Crafts Community property now comes in at a much lower price after a substantial cut, which materially changes the entry point for buyers. The larger lot and four-bedroom layout may make it interesting for someone willing to renovate or hold for broader use.
- 840 E Highland Drive, GatlinburgStatus Change $320,000
This Arts & Crafts Community property now comes in at a much lower price after a substantial cut, which materially changes the entry point for buyers. The larger lot and four-bedroom layout may make it interesting for someone willing to renovate or hold for broader use.
- 1215 N Baden Drive, GatlinburgPrice Change $475,000
This sister property to 1349052 is similarly positioned in Chalet Village, but with slightly different bed and bath proportions. It has the same creekside appeal and should be judged on how well the layout fits the buyer’s intended use.
- 1211 N Baden Drive, GatlinburgPrice Change $575,000
This creekside Chalet Village cabin offers a classic Smoky Mountain setting with a fireplace and flexible use as a home, getaway, or rental. The price reduction helps keep it visible in a crowded midrange segment where condition and setting both matter.
- 1123 Longview Court, GatlinburgStatus Change $975,000
This new-construction Chalet Village home is still in the build phase, so buyers are really purchasing the end result and the location. The mountain view and completion timing make it a fit for buyers who want new product rather than a resale cabin.
- 505 Hoot Owl Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $449,999
This compact honeymoon cabin is already presenting actual reported revenue in the remarks, which keeps the focus on performance rather than size. The latest small price move suggests the seller is trying to protect the income story while staying competitive on entry-level investor pricing.
- 530 Parton Drive, GatlinburgPrice Change $349,900
This smaller cabin offers a more traditional mountain-retreat profile, with a private wooded lot, wraparound porch, and several major system updates already done. The price drop makes it more accessible for buyers who want land and privacy without moving into the premium-lodge segment.
- 1257 Bavarian Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $2,525,000
Builtmore 2 mirrors its companion property with the same scale, amenities, and projected-income story, so it will appeal to a narrow but serious investor pool. The latest price cut may help, but this is still a niche asset that buyers will scrutinize closely.
- 1253 Bavarian Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $2,525,000
Builtmore 1 remains one of the most aggressive luxury offerings in the market, with rooftop decks, indoor pool space, and a 22-guest occupancy claim in the remarks. The price reduction likely reflects the reality that this segment needs the right buyer and the right underwriting to move.
- 909 Black Wolf Way, GatlinburgStatus Change $829,990
This pending luxury cabin offers a theater, game room, indoor pool, and strong occupancy potential, but it is also part of the larger, more complex end of the market. The move to pending suggests buyers still respond to big-amenity properties when the location and execution line up.
- 914 High Mountain Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $496,890
This smaller mountain-view cabin continues to lean on income potential, with furnishings, hot tub, and community-pool access included. The long time on market suggests buyers are being selective even when revenue claims and convenient amenities are part of the pitch.
- 419 Matterhorn Drive, GatlinburgPrice Change $489,000
This Cobbly Nob cabin combines usable acreage, privacy, and mountain views with a layout that supports both second-home and rental use. The price trim keeps it positioned as a more approachable mountain retreat than the larger lodge inventory nearby.
- 213 Matterhorn Drive, GatlinburgPrice Change $2,299,900
This is one of the largest offerings in the set, with a true lodge scale, indoor pool, theater, and very high guest capacity. The price cut helps, but buyers will still weigh the size, the projected-income claim, and the real operating costs of a property this large.
- 615 N Ownby Drive, GatlinburgStatus Change $649,000
This log home offers more of a full-time-residence feel than a pure rental cabin, with a garage, extra lot, and generous interior space. It is now pending, which suggests the combination of privacy and everyday livability found the right match.
- 314 Brown Wren Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $1,050,000
This is a large, furnished cabin with room for 18 guests, and that scale can be attractive to group-rental buyers. The price adjustment keeps it in the conversation, but the value test here is really about whether the location and capacity justify the upper-midrange asking level.
- 755 Glory Ridge Way, GatlinburgStatus Change $550,000
This cabin is now active again after going pending, giving buyers another look at a three-level log cabin with deck space, a hot tub, and easy access in the Arts & Crafts area. The return to active suggests the market still had questions to resolve on terms or fit.
- 831 Spirit Loop Way, GatlinburgStatus Change $625,000
This larger Hemlock Hills cabin offers strong sleeping capacity, easy access, and city utilities, all of which are useful in Gatlinburg’s rental market. It moved to pending, so the combination of guest capacity and access appears to have resonated with a buyer.
- 1375 S Baden Drive, GatlinburgPrice Change $495,000
This chalet is notable for being presented as a short sale, which can add complexity and slow timing even when the cabin itself is renovated and furnished. The updated interior and Chalet Village setting may still attract buyers willing to work through the extra process.
- 519 Picadilly Lane, GatlinburgStatus Change $449,900
The appeal here is the larger lot, privacy, and updated interior in Cobbly Nob, along with a layout that works well for a family retreat. It is back active after previously being pending, which means buyers still have another shot at a cabin that blends space and seclusion.
- 309 Elk Cove Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $475,000
This Elk Cove cabin checks the boxes for short-term-rental buyers: a loft, covered porch, hot tub, and easy access to major attractions. The recent price adjustment likely reflects the need to stay competitive in a market where newer or more amenity-rich cabins are also available.
- 1615 Misty Hollow Way, GatlinburgStatus Change $625,000
The combination of Mt. LeConte views, a hot tub, and a location just minutes from downtown gives this cabin a clear Gatlinburg identity. It is now pending, so the listing appears to have found a buyer after a long marketing stretch in a competitive resort-pocket setting.
- 1135 Shady Grove Lane, GatlinburgPrice Change $695,000
This downtown Gatlinburg cabin offers privacy, decks on all three levels, and a fully furnished package, which keeps it flexible for a second home or rental buyer. With nearly 200 days on market, price sensitivity is likely the main issue buyers are testing here.
- 4230 Alyssa Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $549,950
This furnished cabin offers a private wooded setting, multiple outdoor living areas, and a long list of upgrades that may help it appeal to buyers looking for a low-maintenance retreat. The extended time on market signals that condition alone has not been enough to move it quickly, even after the latest price reduction.
- 436 Lucerne Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $649,999
This cabin’s story is simple: views, convenience, and a proven rental profile have been paired with a notable price cut. The reduction may help sharpen attention from investors who want a short-term-rental property near downtown without the scale of a larger lodge.
- 712 Still Hill Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $700,000
This newer Laurel Estates cabin is designed for overnight-rental use, with an open layout, game space, and strong amenity package. The pricing now sits higher than the earlier list level, so buyers will likely compare it closely with other newer-build Gatlinburg cabins offering similar guest capacity.
- 804 Upper Picadilly Lane, GatlinburgPrice Change $724,500
Panoramic views, turnkey furnishings, and resort amenities make this Cobbly Nob cabin easy to position for guests or second-home use. The listing’s mountain-view focus and main-level primary suite should keep it attractive to buyers who want convenience without giving up the view.
- 713 Hazy Circle, GatlinburgPrice Change $430,000
The main draw here is acreage: 6.58 private wooded acres inside Gatlinburg, which is rare at this price. It is a quieter land play than a typical cabin-in-a-resort listing, so the value proposition leans more toward privacy and long-term hold potential than dense rental-community convenience.
- 363 Lewis Clabo Rd, GatlinburgPrice Change $1,800,000
This large downtown-adjacent cabin stands out for its walkable access to Gatlinburg, full bath access for every bedroom, and additional lot included with the sale. The long marketing time suggests buyers are weighing size and location against carrying costs at this price point.

Current Rate and Demand Context
Latest official context for Smoky Mountain short-term-rental cabin real estate points to still-elevated mortgage costs, a higher federal funds target, strong park visitation, and mixed housing supply conditions nationally. The federal funds target is not the same thing as consumer mortgage rates, and the two should be treated separately when timing pricing or sale decisions.
- Freddie Mac 30-year fixed mortgage rateFreddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey shows the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at 7.28% for the week averaged as of 2026-10-01, and the page states PMMS is released weekly on Thursdays at 12 p.m. ET.Freddie Mac PMMS — 2026-10-01
- Federal Reserve target rangeThe Federal Reserve’s most recent FOMC decision on 2026-09-16 raised the federal funds target range to 3.75% to 4.00%; this is the policy rate target, not a consumer mortgage rate.Federal Reserve FOMC Statement — 2026-09-16

Rates are still high, but buyers are more sensitive to monthly payment than to the Fed’s policy headline, so well-priced cabins with clear utility can still move.
The Gatlinburg week shows a market that is still rewarding the right mix of location, layout, and amenities, but not forgiving overreach. With 8 new listings, no pendings, and 4 closings, buyers have choices, especially in the midrange cabins and the larger resort properties that have been on the market for a while. The closings posted a stronger median price than the prior week, yet the sale-to-list ratio eased a bit and the average days on market improved, which tells me pricing is still doing most of the work. On rates, it helps to separate consumer mortgage costs from Federal Reserve policy: the Fed’s target range is a policy benchmark, while the mortgage market is reacting to broader bond pricing, inflation expectations, and lender spreads. Freddie Mac’s recent 30-year fixed reading near 7.28% keeps financing expensive enough that buyers stay disciplined, so sellers who are competitive on price, clear on condition, and strong on presentation may have an easier path. That is especially true for cabins with easy access, community amenities, or proven guest appeal. Bigger luxury inventory can still work, but it usually needs sharper pricing and a buyer who understands the operating math, not just the headline features.
Gatlinburg Cabin Market FAQ
What stands out most in this week’s Gatlinburg report?
The biggest headline is the imbalance between fresh inventory and contract activity: 8 new listings came in, but no homes went pending during the week. That means buyers had more to choose from than sellers had new demand signals to point to. At the same time, 4 closings kept the market active, and those sales cleared at a median of $735,000. For readers, that combination says the market is moving, but pricing and property fit still matter more than broad momentum.
What should buyers focus on when comparing Gatlinburg cabins right now?
Buyers should compare use case first: is the cabin best as a personal retreat, a second home, or an overnight rental? In this week’s set, some listings lean on resort access, others on acreage and privacy, and others on newer construction or high guest capacity. The best value often depends on whether the property’s layout, access, and amenities line up with how you plan to use it. In a higher-rate environment, monthly payment and ongoing operating costs deserve as much attention as the asking price.
What does this week suggest for sellers in Gatlinburg?
Sellers should take note that the market is still rewarding well-positioned cabins, but it is not absorbing overpricing quickly. Several active listings have been adjusted lower, while others with stronger location or amenity packages remain competitive. The closings also show that buyers will pay solid numbers when the property checks the right boxes, especially in established Gatlinburg communities. If a cabin has a narrow buyer pool, pricing precision and presentation become especially important.
How should readers think about the closed-sale pricing sample this week?
This week’s sale sample is useful, but it is still just four closed homes, so it should be read carefully. A small sample can move around based on property mix, meaning one luxury sale or one lower-priced closing can influence the averages. That is why the median sale price and average sale-to-list ratio should be viewed together rather than in isolation. The takeaway is directionally helpful, not a substitute for a property-by-property valuation.
How should I interpret the methodology behind this weekly Gatlinburg report?
This report reflects one seven-day window, so it captures short-term activity rather than a full monthly cycle. That makes it good for spotting what type of cabins are getting attention, what is closing, and where pricing is being adjusted, but less useful for making grand conclusions on its own. Because Gatlinburg inventory includes everything from small creekside cabins to large indoor-pool lodges, the property mix matters a lot. The best use is to compare this week’s details with nearby cabins and current competition before making a decision.
