New Gatlinburg Log Cabin Listings

New active log cabin listings recorded from October 5 through October 11, 2026.

  • 4143 Fontaine Way, GatlinburgPending $1,590,000
    5 Beds • 5 Baths • 4,162 SqFt • Wr Leland • 7 days on market • Built 2024

    This newly listed creekside luxury cabin is the week’s newest high-end active property and is distinguished by its creek setting, indoor-outdoor pool room, and five ensuite bedrooms. The reported revenue history mentioned in the remarks is a positioning claim rather than independent verification, but the amenity stack clearly targets premium group-rental demand.

  • 253 Silverbell Lane, GatlinburgNew $519,900
    1 Beds • 2 Baths • 936 SqFt • F M Mcmahan • 3 days on market • Built 2026

    This compact new furnished cabin offers an accessible entry into the Gatlinburg market with a fresh build, two baths, and an easy-to-market short-term rental setup. Its main decision point is value per square foot and whether buyers want new construction over larger legacy cabins.

  • 1679 Zurich Rd, GatlinburgNew $1,299,900
    3 Beds • 5 Baths • 2,967 SqFt • Tyrolea Sec 4 • 3 days on market • Built 1989

    This luxury chalet-style cabin brings a newer build, multiple bedrooms, and a very large price point into the active mix. The creekside setting and amenity-rich presentation suggest the seller is aiming at a premium buyer who wants both location and scale.

  • 1008 E Foothills Drive, GatlinburgNew $665,000
    2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,665 SqFt • Valley High • 3 days on market • Built 1973

    An authentic older log cabin with Mt. LeConte views and over an acre of privacy, this property may appeal to buyers who want character more than polished resort styling. The finished basement and flexible lower level add usable space, which helps offset the age of the cabin.

  • 514 Butler Branch Road Rd, GatlinburgNew $419,000
    1 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,600 SqFt • Cobbly Nob • 5 days on market • Built 1987

    This creekside cottage in Cobbly Nob is one of the more detailed income-focused listings, with an active STR permit and a long list of outdoor amenities. The remarks also claim Top 1% Airbnb status and strong performance, but that remains a listing-remarks claim rather than independently verified market data.

  • 1104 Anastasia Way, GatlinburgNew $625,700
    3 Beds • 4 Baths • 2,674 SqFt • Laurel Estates • 7 days on market • Built 2022

    Smoky Pines is a newer fully furnished cabin in Laurel Estates with a polished finish level and strong group-guest layout. Its location off the Craft Trail and community amenities should help it compete with other newer inventory that leans on convenience as much as design.

    This closed Gatlinburg Falls cabin sold for $473,000 after 94 days, which gives the clearest recent pricing signal in the report. The transaction suggests that a well-located, mid-size cabin with game space and a hot tub can still clear the market when priced to the current range.

    This Tyrolea property moved to pending status while still allowing continued showings, which often means the seller is keeping the door open to backup interest. The big selling points are the LeConte views, recent updates, and the fact that it has been used as a long-term personal getaway rather than a rental.

  • 1068 E Foothills Drive, GatlinburgPrice Change $649,900
    Price Change: $659,900 → $649,900 • 1 Beds • 3 Baths • 1,746 SqFt • Condo Villa • 11 days on market • Built 1993

    This cabin stands out because the listing remarks include reported 2025 gross rental revenue and a guest-favorite rating, which are important context for investors. The recent price cut likely reflects the seller’s effort to keep a proven view property competitive as buyers compare income claims against asking price.

  • 4438 E Scenic Drive, GatlinburgPrice Change $429,900
    Price Change: $439,900 → $429,900 • 3 Beds • 2 Baths • 2,132 SqFt • Scenic Acres S/D • 27 days on market • Built 1985

    This level-lot log cabin offers a more practical setup than many mountain properties, with usable outdoor space, hot tub access, and a straightforward interior layout. The sold-as-is language and price reduction tell buyers to focus on structure, location, and finish potential rather than expecting a turnkey renovation.

  • 1433 Garrett Place, GatlinburgStatus Change $1,650,000
    Status Change: ACTIVE → PENDING - CONTINUE TO SHOW • 4 Beds • 6 Baths • 3,000 SqFt • Leconte Prop • 32 days on market • Built 2000

    This Chalet Village luxury cabin is now pending, and the main market signal is its size, full ensuite layout, theater room, and panoramic LeConte views. It was clearly positioned for the high-end group traveler, and that niche appears to have supported the transition into contract status.

  • 1580 Zermatt Drive, GatlinburgPrice Change $550,000
    Price Change: $570,000 → $550,000 • 2 Beds • 3 Baths • 1,498 SqFt • Tyrolea Sec 4 • 32 days on market • Built 1993

    The A-frame design, mountain setting, and active short-term rental use give this listing flexibility for investors or second-home buyers. The price reduction likely helps it stay competitive in the Tyrolea section, where character and location are both part of the value story.

  • 440 Deer Path Lane, GatlinburgPrice Change $695,000
    Price Change: $724,900 → $695,000 • 3 Beds • 4 Baths • 1,664 SqFt • Cobbly Nob-Pine Cove • 54 days on market • Built 1992

    This true square-log home combines year-round park views with a wraparound deck, hot tub, and a classic cabin feel. The recent price adjustment suggests buyers are comparing it carefully against other cabins with similar view and amenity packages in Cobbly Nob.

  • 2053 Settlers Ridge Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $770,000
    Price Change: $785,000 → $770,000 • 3 Beds • 3 Baths • 2,184 SqFt • Settlers Ridge • 53 days on market • Built 2008

    A direct national-park boundary and Mt. LeConte views make this one of the most location-driven listings in the report. The multiple en-suite bedrooms and game room give it broad guest appeal, and the current price cut shows the seller is competing in a very specific upper-mid market.

  • 626 Jess Field Rd, GatlinburgStatus Change $985,000
    Status Change: PENDING → PENDING - CONTINUE TO SHOW • 3 Beds • 3 Baths • 1,978 SqFt • Timber Ridge Cabins • 69 days on market • Built 2026

    This pending cabin has the indoor heated pool, sleeping capacity, and resort setting that make it stand out in a large-group niche. The reported 2024 and 2025 gross figures in the remarks are unverified here, but they help explain why it may have attracted interest despite a longer marketing period.

  • 1523 Gillespie Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $384,997
    Price Change: $384,998 → $384,997 • 1 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,384 SqFt • Tyrolea Sec 1 • 74 days on market • Built 1993

    This Chalet Village chalet is being sold fully furnished and is positioned around proximity to downtown plus established rental performance. For buyers, the main takeaway is that the property already has the ingredients investors usually ask for: location, décor, and amenities.

  • 505 Hoot Owl Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $448,999
    Price Change: $449,999 → $448,999 • 1 Beds • 1 Baths • 540 SqFt • Mtn Shadows Resort Comm • 86 days on market • Built 2000

    The strongest hook here is the actual revenue history cited in the remarks, which gives buyers a concrete operating reference point rather than a projection. With recent updates to the hot tub, water heater, appliances, and exterior finish, the property is being marketed as a ready-to-run honeymoon cabin.

  • 745 Hazy Circle, GatlinburgPrice Change $530,000
    Price Change: $540,000 → $530,000 • 2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,440 SqFt • Smokerise Mtn Comm • 87 days on market • Built 2003

    This furnished cabin offers privacy, wooded surroundings, and a practical two-suite layout that fits both personal use and rental use. The listing also notes that it is already managed, which may help buyers evaluate continuity of operations rather than starting from scratch.

  • 914 High Mountain Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $496,809
    Price Change: $496,890 → $496,809 • 1 Beds • 2 Baths • 848 SqFt • Black Bear Falls Phase 3 • 122 days on market • Built 2007

    A smaller cabin with mountain views, community pool access, and reported revenue claims in the remarks, this property is positioned as an income-producing entry point. The reported figures may appeal to investors, but the long days on market show buyers are still selective at this price level.

  • 3606 Parkland Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $474,999
    Price Change: $499,900 → $474,999 • 3 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,600 SqFt • White Oak Lodge & Resort • 131 days on market • Built 2022

    Backing the national park and sitting in White Oak Resort, this cabin offers one of the stronger location-and-amenity packages in the report. The price cut signals that even well-located, turnkey cabins may need to sharpen value when they sit for an extended period.

  • 3606 Parkland Way, GatlinburgStatus Change $474,999
    Status Change: PENDING - CONTINUE TO SHOW → ACTIVE • 3 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,600 SqFt • White Oak Lodge & Resort • 131 days on market • Built 2022

    Backing the national park and sitting in White Oak Resort, this cabin offers one of the stronger location-and-amenity packages in the report. The price cut signals that even well-located, turnkey cabins may need to sharpen value when they sit for an extended period.

  • 4750 Townsend Drive, GatlinburgPrice Change $999,900
    Price Change: $1,039,900 → $999,900 • 4 Beds • 6 Baths • 3,600 SqFt • Webb S Crk 1 • 126 days on market • Built 2011

    This is one of the report’s largest and highest-priced cabins, with mountain views, multiple fireplaces, and a finished lower level on a wooded lot. The projected rental-income claim in the remarks is unverified, but it may be part of the property’s positioning as a premium investment.

  • 832 Resort Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $744,000
    Price Change: $774,000 → $744,000 • 4 Beds • 6 Baths • 2,496 SqFt • Gat Falls Parkview Resort • 125 days on market • Built 2008

    This resort cabin is built around guest entertainment, with a theater room, recreation space, and multiple private baths that suit larger groups. The latest price cut likely keeps it in the conversation for investors who prioritize amenity depth over a lower entry price.

  • 856 Crest View Drive, GatlinburgStatus Change $900,000
    Status Change: ACTIVE → PENDING - CONTINUE TO SHOW • 3 Beds • 3 Baths • 2,172 SqFt • 126 days on market • Built 2023

    Just minutes from downtown and the Parkway, this newer cabin offers convenience, furnished readiness, and a strong entertainment layout. Its pending status after an extended listing period suggests the price and location eventually aligned, even if the final contract terms are not available here.

  • 817 Sunshine Tr, GatlinburgPrice Change $769,900
    Price Change: $789,900 → $769,900 • 3 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,948 SqFt • Lil Bit Of Heaven • 128 days on market • Built 2001

    Cobbly Nob remains a recognizable draw, and this cabin pairs that location with reported 2025 gross revenue in the remarks. The price reduction suggests the market is respecting income potential but still pushing back on list price after a long exposure period.

  • 569 Forest Springs Drive, GatlinburgPrice Change $799,900
    Price Change: $834,900 → $799,900 • 3 Beds • 3 Baths • 2,500 SqFt • Settlement At Gatlinburg • 129 days on market • Built 2004

    This Roaring Fork-area cabin leans on mountain views, multi-level outdoor space, and a flexible layout with extra game or sleeping areas. The listing is priced as a premium resort-style property, so the long days on market make location and view the critical comparison points.

  • 776 Mountain Stream Way, GatlinburgStatus Change $1,389,999
    Status Change: PENDING → PENDING - CONTINUE TO SHOW • 6 Beds • 7 Baths • 3,570 SqFt • Gatlinburg Falls • 136 days on market • Built 2019

    This is the week’s clear group-rental outlier, with an indoor heated pool, high occupancy capacity, and reported strong gross results in the remarks. For buyers focused on scale and amenity-driven demand, the combination of size and indoor pool access is the key decision factor.

  • 967 Scenic Tr, GatlinburgPrice Change $737,500
    Price Change: $745,000 → $737,500 • 3 Beds • 3 Baths • 3,042 SqFt • Cobbly Nob • 154 days on market • Built 2004

    Cobbly Nob location, big views, and a remodeled interior give this cabin broad appeal for both second-home and rental buyers. The listing’s long run on market suggests the size of the opportunity is being weighed against the asking price and operating expectations.

  • 714 Mountain Stream Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $719,990
    Price Change: $745,000 → $719,990 • 3 Beds • 3 Baths • 2,673 SqFt • Gatlinburg Falls • 167 days on market • Built 2018

    This Gatlinburg Falls cabin combines mountain views, three levels of living, and a consistent short-term rental track record that is likely its main selling point. The price adjustment brings it closer to where buyers may be comparing revenue history against asking price.

  • 1779 Mountain Shadows Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $429,000
    Price Change: $439,900 → $429,000 • 1 Beds • 1 Baths • 1,536 SqFt • Mountain Shadows Resort • 249 days on market • Built 2004

    A true log cabin close to downtown and the Arts & Crafts Community, this one is positioned as a small-format STR with classic mountain character. The long market time and recent price move suggest the market is asking for sharper value on a one-bedroom cabin, even with the strong location.

  • 363 Lewis Clabo Rd, GatlinburgPrice Change $1,750,000
    Price Change: $1,800,000 → $1,750,000 • 7 Beds • 9 Baths • 4,520 SqFt • 517 days on market • Built 2021

    This large, fully furnished cabin near downtown Gatlinburg stands out for size, walkability, and the extra lot, all of which help it compete in the upper end of the market. At 517 days on market, it reads more like a long-positioned luxury hold than a quick-turn listing, so pricing fit will matter here.

Current Rate and Demand Context

As of the week ending 2026-10-11, the mortgage backdrop remains elevated, the Fed’s policy rate is still restrictive, Smoky Mountains fall demand is seasonally strong, and national new-home inventory remains ample enough to keep negotiating leverage in play for buyers and sellers.

  • Freddie Mac 30-year fixed mortgage rateFreddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey showed the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaging 7.40% on the week of 2026-10-08; the page says PMMS is released weekly on Thursdays and the quoted rate is the average for the prior Thursday-through-Wednesday period.Freddie Mac PMMS — 2026-10-08
  • Federal Reserve policy rateThe Federal Open Market Committee raised the federal funds target range to 3.75% to 4.00% at its 2026-09-16 meeting; that is the policy rate, not a consumer mortgage rate.Federal Reserve FOMC statement — 2026-09-16

Matt Maloney, The Maloney Team
Matt's Take Matt Maloney • The Maloney Team
In Gatlinburg, mortgage rates and Fed policy are not the same thing: the Fed sets the policy rate, while buyers pay the mortgage rate, and both still matter when a cabin has to clear at today’s pricing.

The latest Gatlinburg week shows a market that is still active, but not loose: six new listings came in, no pending deals were recorded in the weekly snapshot, and the one closed sale settled at 96.7% of list after 94 days. That tells me buyers are still making decisions, but they are doing it selectively and with real price discipline. The mortgage backdrop remains elevated, with Freddie Mac’s 30-year fixed average at 7.40% for the week, while the Federal Reserve’s policy rate is a separate benchmark entirely; lowering or raising the federal funds target does not automatically move a buyer’s mortgage quote. For sellers, conditions can be more favorable when the property has a clear edge—walk-to-town access, indoor pools, big views, strong furnishings, or a documented rental record—and when the cabin is priced tightly enough to stand out against the many active options. That is especially true in fall, when Smokies visitation is seasonally strong and inventory quality matters more than hype. In this environment, well-prepared sellers can still win, but overpricing usually costs time first and leverage second.

Gatlinburg Cabin Market FAQ

What stands out most about Gatlinburg this week?

The headline is straightforward: Gatlinburg added 6 new listings, had 0 pending sales in the weekly window, and recorded 1 closed sale. That closed sale finished at $473,000 after 94 days on market, which gives the market a concrete price and speed reference point. The new inventory is diverse, ranging from small furnished cabins to larger luxury and group-rental properties. For readers, the key takeaway is that buyer choice remains broad, but pricing has to match the property’s lane.

Are buyers still responding to higher-end cabins?

Yes, but the response is clearly property-specific rather than broad-based. The week included several higher-end active and pending cabins with strong amenities such as mountain views, theater rooms, hot tubs, indoor pools, and multiple ensuite bedrooms. What matters most is whether the home offers a clear reason to pay up, such as location, guest capacity, or a distinctive amenity package. In this market, premium homes can still move, but they usually need a sharper value story than a simple “luxury” label.

What should sellers notice about the price reductions this week?

Several active listings adjusted their prices, and that is an important sign of how sellers are competing right now. It does not mean a property is weak by default, but it does show that asking prices are being tested against current buyer expectations. In a market with meaningful inventory and higher financing costs, the best-performing listings usually give buyers a strong reason to act quickly. For sellers, the practical lesson is to launch close to the market instead of waiting for the market to come to you.

How useful is the closed-sale data when there is only one sale?

It is useful as a directional signal, but it should be read as a small sample, not a full verdict on the city. One closed sale can still show where buyers are willing to transact on a specific type of cabin and how long that process can take. This week’s closing at $473,000 and 94 days on market suggests that well-positioned cabins can sell, but not necessarily fast. The safest way to use that data is as one anchor among the active listings, pending deals, and property features in the same report.

How should I interpret the methodology behind this weekly report?

This report reflects a seven-day snapshot for Gatlinburg, so it is best used to understand what happened during this specific window rather than to overread long-term direction. With only one closed sale this week, the averages for price and sale-to-list performance are informative but still limited. The report focuses on live market behavior: new listings, pending activity, closed results, and notable price changes. For practical use, that means comparing each cabin to similar homes in the same week and price range, not trying to force a broader trend from a small sample.
