New Sevierville Log Cabin Listings
New active log cabin listings recorded from November 2, 2026 through November 8, 2026.
4 Beds • 5 Baths • 3,252 SqFt • Laurel Branch Ph 2 • 1 day on market • Built 2019
This new Laurel Branch Ph 2 listing is positioned at the top end of the market, with 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, 3,252 square feet, and broad mountain-view appeal. The 2019 build, large decks, hot tub, fire pit, and game room give it a luxury second-home or STR profile, but the pricing will put it against a narrow pool of buyers.
3 Beds • 3 Baths • 1,859 SqFt • Homestead In Wears Valley • 2 days on market • Built 2022
In Homestead In Wears Valley, this 2022 cabin combines a wraparound screened porch, main-level primary suite, and a 1.9-acre lot with a practical layout for a second home or rental use. The annual maintenance fee is modest for the setting, and the full-length deck and outdoor living space are the main selling points.
3 Beds • 4 Baths • 3,585 SqFt • Rebel Hills S/D • 2 days on market • Built 2022
This Rebel Hills S/D cabin stands out for its location near Dollywood and The Island, along with no HOA and a reported income-producing short-term-rental setup. The recent updates and strong amenity package make the value proposition more about convenience and function than raw size alone.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,156 SqFt • Sky Harbor Sec C • 3 days on market • Built 2024
This newer Sky Harbor Sec C cabin is a compact 2-bedroom option with a 2024 build date, which may appeal to buyers who want newer construction without moving into the highest price tiers. The smaller footprint and annual fee make it a straightforward low-maintenance mountain cabin choice.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,252 SqFt • Holly Tree • 3 days on market • Built 2026
Holly Tree offers a 2026 new-construction cabin with a level lot, covered decks, and a furniture allowance, which may help offset initial furnishing costs. The floor plan and outdoor space make this one more accessible for buyers who want new construction without a major renovation project.
3 Beds • 6 Baths • 4,122 SqFt • Bluff Mountain Vistas • 4 days on market • Built 2025
This Bluff Mountain Vistas listing is the week's standout luxury rental play, with a private indoor pool, pickleball court, and broad mountain views. The reported first-year gross rental revenue claim is notable, but it should be treated as a listing-remarks projection rather than independent verification.
5 Beds • 6 Baths • 3,644 SqFt • Smoky Cove Ph-3 • 5 days on market • Built 2025
Smoky Cove Ph-3 offers a 3-story layout with a private heated indoor pool, hot tub, theater area, and five ensuite bedrooms, which keeps it squarely in the group-rental segment. The established guest reviews and proximity to the Parkway support its positioning as a turnkey STR cabin.
4 Beds • 6 Baths • 3,361 SqFt • The Lodges At Smith Creek Reserve • 5 days on market • Built 2026
This new-build cabin in The Lodges At Smith Creek Reserve leans heavily on resort amenities, including access to the owner-exclusive waterpark and a rooftop patio. The small monthly fee and turnkey furnishing package will matter to investors comparing newer luxury cabins in the same price band.
3 Beds • 3 Baths • 2,292 SqFt • Shagbark • 5 days on market • Built 2007
Shagbark continues to attract buyers who want gated-community amenities with a more approachable price point. This 3-bedroom cabin's level lot, covered porches, and year-round usability make it one of the more practical listings in the week's active set.
3 Beds • 4 Baths • 2,659 SqFt • Settlers Ridge • 5 days on market • Built 2019
This Settlers Ridge cabin is a straightforward newer log-and-craftsman option with 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a 2019 build. It is a cleanly positioned mountain cabin, though it leans more on the setting than on a long list of headline amenities.
6 Beds • 7 Baths • 4,794 SqFt • Smoky Mountain Ridge • 5 days on market • Built 2018
Smoky Mountain Ridge brings size and amenity depth, with 6 bedrooms, a private indoor pool, theater, and game room. The resort positioning and turnkey furniture package are the core value drivers for this larger investment cabin.
2 Beds • 3 Baths • 1,968 SqFt • Sky Harbor Sec H • 5 days on market • Built 2026
This 2026 Sky Harbor Sec H cabin is a newer 2-bedroom option with a relatively modest maintenance fee and a compact footprint. Buyers looking for a fresh cabin in a familiar resort area will likely focus on its low-lift ownership profile.
5 Beds • 8 Baths • 4,731 SqFt • The Lodges At Smith Creek Reserve • 6 days on market • Built 2024
The Lodges At Smith Creek Reserve again shows up on the luxury end, this time with 5 bedrooms, 8 baths, and a large square-footage footprint. The new-waterpark angle and furnished condition are the clearest markers of its investment positioning.
5 Beds • 5 Baths • 3,373 SqFt • Lodges At Legacy Mountain • 6 days on market • Built 2022
This Lodges At Legacy Mountain cabin is another high-end resort listing that emphasizes the indoor pool, theater, and mountain views over everyday occupancy metrics. The developer-scarce positioning may appeal to buyers looking for a less common resort product.
4 Beds • 5 Baths • 2,970 SqFt • Grand View Resort • 6 days on market • Built 2009
Grand View Resort continues to draw attention with a cabin that is close to the community pool and zipline attraction. The combination of 4 bedrooms, 5 baths, and being sold furnished keeps it aimed at the short-term rental buyer pool.
3 Beds • 3 Baths • 2,480 SqFt • Teaster Prop • 6 days on market • Built 2012
This Teaster Prop cabin is priced in the midrange and appeals through its Wears Valley access, furnished condition, and established rental history. The sunroom game space and hot tub add to the guest-use case, which matters in this segment.
3 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,946 SqFt • Echota Resort • 7 days on market • Built 1997
This Echota Resort cabin offers a practical 3-bedroom, 2-bath layout with pond views, level parking, and easy access to downtown Sevierville and Soaky Mountain. The reported rental income claim in the remarks is a notable part of its positioning, but the key decision point is that it combines a manageable size with an established resort location and several recent system updates.
6 Beds • 7 Baths • 4,181 SqFt • Lodges At Legacy Mountain • 7 days on market • Built 2022
Another high-end Lodges At Legacy Mountain cabin, this one is a 6-bedroom luxury product with an indoor pool and broad mountain views. Buyers in this range will compare it closely against other large resort cabins with similar amenity packages.
6 Beds • 7 Baths • 4,181 SqFt • Lodges At Legacy Mountain • 7 days on market • Built 2022
This nearly identical Legacy Mountain cabin is priced just below its sibling listing and carries the same luxury profile. The best decision-useful detail is the combination of size, views, and private pool amenities rather than a unique floor plan difference.
6 Beds • 7 Baths • 4,830 SqFt • Smoky Mountain Ridge • 7 days on market • Built 2021
This Smoky Mountain Ridge cabin is notable for the reported 2025 and 2026 gross-income claims and the installed sprinkler system. The six ensuite bedrooms and resort access make it an institutional-style rental asset, but the revenue figures remain listing remarks claims.
3 Beds • 4 Baths • 2,300 SqFt • Shagbark Sec 23 • 7 days on market • Built 2024
This Shagbark Sec 23 cabin is an unfinished opportunity rather than a finished turnkey sale, so buyers need to think like project managers. The remaining construction work, as-is sale, and active-site warning are the key facts here.
2 Beds • 3 Baths • 2,217 SqFt • Laughing Pines • 7 days on market • Built 2023
Laughing Pines brings a more balanced profile: over an acre, two primary suites, mountain views, and a reported October rental take in the remarks. The room to add outdoor amenities may matter as much as the existing setup for buyers focused on future rental upside.
Sevierville Log Cabins Sold This Week
Recorded closings from November 2, 2026 through November 8, 2026.
8 Beds • 9 Baths • 4,560 SqFt • Hibernation Station • 127 days on market • Built 2021 • Sold at 94.8% of list price
This Hibernation Station sale closed at a meaningful discount to list after 127 days, which shows how longer market time can pressure larger luxury cabins. The indoor pool, theater, and 8-bedroom layout still found a buyer, but at a lower realized price than asking.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,510 SqFt • Fox Run Sec A • 66 days on market • Built 1984 • Sold at 100.0% of list price
Fox Run Sec A sold very close to list, which is a practical reminder that well-kept cabins in strong locations can still clear efficiently. The 2-bedroom layout, mountain views, and recent improvements likely helped the sale hold near asking.
2 Beds • 3 Baths • 1,758 SqFt • Wyatt Cabins • 34 days on market • Built 2005 • Sold at 93.3% of list price
Wyatt Cabins closed below list after 34 days, and the sale-to-list gap suggests the market did not reward the full asking price. The cabin's proximity to Dollywood and the recent updates made it marketable, but the final price shows buyers remained disciplined.
2 Beds • 3 Baths • 2,400 SqFt • Sky Harbor • 39 days on market • Built 2025 • Sold at 96.3% of list price
Sky Harbor sold in 39 days and at 96.3% of list, which is a solid result for a newly built themed cabin. The turnkey furnishing, STR permit, and firework-view positioning appear to have kept it competitive.
4 Beds • 6 Baths • 3,568 SqFt • Valley Home Est Sec 2 • 53 days on market • Built 2021 • Sold at 100.4% of list price
This Valley Cabin Est Sec 2 sale cleared above list and closed with a strong realized price for a larger indoor-pool cabin. The Wears Valley location, outdoor amenities, and investment framing clearly resonated in the sale outcome.
2 Beds • 4 Baths • 2,280 SqFt • Bluff Mtn Acres Sec 6 Ph 2 • 82 days on market • Built 2022 • Sold at 100.0% of list price
Bluff Mtn Acres Sec 6 Ph 2 matched list price at closing, a clean result for a cabin with an indoor pool and private creek setting. The nearly 1.3-acre lot and no-HOA setup make it the kind of property that can attract both buyers and STR operators.
1 Bed • 2 Baths • 2,054 SqFt • Cedar Falls Phase 1 • 243 days on market • Built 2007 • Sold at 90.4% of list price
Cedar Falls Phase 1 closed well below list after a long marketing period, despite the indoor pool, game room, and reported rental income history in the remarks. That outcome suggests the market placed more weight on value and timing than on the income story alone.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,212 SqFt • Sky Harbor Sec H • 502 days on market • Built 2025 • Sold at 99.1% of list price
This Sky Harbor Sec H sale closed almost exactly at list after a very long time on market, which points to a buyer willing to meet the price once the property fit their needs. The accessible design features and new-construction appeal were the most distinctive facts.

Price Change: $424,900 to $399,000 • 1 Bed • 1 Bath • 676 SqFt • Hidden Springs Resort • 67 days on market • Built 2001

This On Higher Ground Ph 3 cabin changed by a single dollar, so the real significance is not the price move but the continued effort to keep the listing visible. The large acreage and strong rental presentation remain the key features.
Price Change: $381,000 to $380,999 • 1 Bed • 1 Bath • 676 SqFt • Echota Resort • 43 days on market • Built 1995
This Echota Resort cabin is the smaller companion to another active listing in the same subdivision, which gives investors a rare side-by-side package option. The price adjustment is minor, but the bundle angle is the practical hook.

Price Change: $860,000 to $849,000 • 4 Beds • 3 Baths • 2,340 SqFt • Covered Bridge Resort • 234 days on market • Built 2005

This two-cabin Price Acres offering is unusual because it packages multiple income-producing cabins together on 2.77 acres. The week brought only a tiny price adjustment, but the more important detail is the combined rental-history story and the flexibility that comes with two units.
Price Change: $419,900 to $418,900 • 1 Bed • 2 Baths • 1,680 SqFt • Spurling Heirs • 123 days on market • Built 1988
This Spurling Heirs cabin saw a small price reduction while keeping a flexible-use message centered on renovations and possible future value. The seller concession may help some buyers, but the real question is whether the property can justify its pricing against neighboring cabins.
Price Change: $529,900 to $509,900 • 2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,240 SqFt • Sky Harbor Sec 2 • 242 days on market • Built 2026

Price Change: $1,500,000 to $1,000,000 • 1,824 SqFt • Trace Two Hundred • 101 days on market • Built 2002
This Trace Two Hundred listing is really a land-and-home opportunity on 40 acres, not a standard cabin sale. The acreage, privacy, and room for future homesites or development make it materially different from the typical cabin listings in this report.
Price Change: $669,000 to $668,750 • 2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,200 SqFt • Hidden Hollow • 127 days on market • Built 2025

This Kerr Rd property is one of the stronger income-oriented listings in the week, with a separate entertainment building that includes the indoor pool and theater. The remarks also mention substantial revenue potential and current bookings, which should be treated as listing claims rather than verified operating results.
Status Change: ACTIVE to PENDING - CONTINUE TO SHOW • 4 Beds • 4 Baths • 2,834 SqFt • Settlers Ridge • 43 days on market • Built 2022
This Settlers Ridge cabin moved to pending, and its mountain views, indoor pool, theater room, and multiple decks likely made it stand out in the luxury segment. The pending status is the clearest signal that the package found a buyer after a solid run on market.
Price Change: $849,990 to $849,909 • 7 Beds • 5 Baths • 3,430 SqFt • Hickory Manor • 102 days on market • Built 2000

Status Change: ACTIVE to PENDING - CONTINUE TO SHOW • 4 Beds • 3 Baths • 2,200 SqFt • Summit View • 8 days on market • Built 2007
Summit View moved to pending quickly after listing, and the big-view positioning appears to have mattered more than size alone. The reported rental revenue and the three-level entertainment layout make it a classic investor target.
Price Change: $624,900 to $619,900 • 1 Bed • 2 Baths • 1,500 SqFt • Legacy Mountain • 58 days on market • Built 2007
Legacy Mountain offers a smaller but well-finished cabin with sweeping views, recent updates, and strong resort amenities. The price reduction helps keep it competitive among one-bedroom cabins with hot tubs and game-room space.

Price Change: $491,000 to $486,000 • 2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,075 SqFt • Sky Harbor • 68 days on market • Built 2024
This Sky Harbor contemporary cabin is the individual component of the paired Ridgehigh Pass offering, and the lower price point gives buyers a simpler entry point into the same area. Its appeal is more about newer construction and flexibility than about a long amenity list.

Price Change: $1,249,990 to $1,249,909 • 4 Beds • 6 Baths • 3,712 SqFt • Victorian Heights • 24 days on market • Built 2022
Victorian Heights offers twin cabins on unrestricted acreage, which is a different proposition than a single resort cabin. The acreage, no-HOA setup, and expansion potential are the most useful facts for investors.
Price Change: $849,000 to $825,000 • 3 Beds • 3 Baths • 2,288 SqFt • Hickory Hollow • 32 days on market • Built 2007
Hickory Hollow is a solid 3-bedroom log cabin with a broad view, a catch-and-release pond nearby, and a furnished STR setup. The recent price cut may help, but the key decision point is whether buyers value the setting enough to match the pricing.

Price Change: $1,725,000 to $1,625,000 • 3 Beds • 5 Baths • 4,124 SqFt • Foothills Estates • 21 days on market • Built 2024

This Burning Oaks cabin has been on the market a long time, and the price cut reflects that extended exposure. The property is more of a traditional cabin on a usable lot than a resort-style rental, which narrows the buyer audience.
Status Change: PENDING - CONTINUE TO SHOW to ACTIVE • 3 Beds • 3 Baths • 1,830 SqFt • Bear Country Hideaway • 73 days on market • Built 2003
Bear Country Hideaway re-entered the market after a contract fell apart, so the active status now reflects a reset rather than new momentum. The cabin's long track record of reported rental income and extensive updates are the main decision points.
Status Change: ACTIVE to PENDING - CONTINUE TO SHOW • 3 Beds • 3 Baths • 1,890 SqFt • Stone Mill • 15 days on market • Built 2006

Price Change: $489,990 to $459,900 • 1 Bed • 1 Bath • 384 SqFt • 70 days on market • Built 2000
This riverfront pair is unusual in this market because the listing is effectively tied to two small cabins on one tract. The reported gross income and water-adjacent setting are the details that matter most for buyers evaluating it as a niche rental asset.
Price Change: $699,000 to $689,000 • 3 Beds • 2 Baths • 2,200 SqFt • Sugar Tree Valley Est • 137 days on market • Built 1996
Sugar Tree Valley Est remains a strong mountain-view cabin with a large lot, screened porch, and expansion potential in the unfinished basement. The price reduction is notable, but the timeless view and maintained condition are the real selling points.
Status Change: ACTIVE to PENDING • 1 Bed • 2 Baths • 960 SqFt • The Oaks • 52 days on market • Built 2005
The Oaks is now pending after being set up as an auction-style opportunity, which makes the contract result more about the process than the list price. The short-term-rental approval and Sevierville location were the essential facts.
Status Change: PENDING - CONTINUE TO SHOW to ACTIVE • 4 Beds • 3 Baths • 1,960 SqFt • 57 days on market • Built 1977
This unrestricted foothills property moved back to active status, so buyers now have another chance at a larger 4-bedroom cabin on 1.5 acres. The no-restrictions setting and outbuildings make it different from the resort-driven listings in the report.

Price Change: $374,900 to $364,000 • 1 Bed • 1 Bath • 660 SqFt • 83 days on market • Built 1999
This fully remodeled cabin remains one of the smaller, more private active listings and has a clear rental-income story in the remarks. The recent price cut helps, but the lot size and update list are the bigger value points.
Price Change: $658,000 to $620,000 • 2 Beds • 3 Baths • 2,352 SqFt • Wonderland Woods Sec 3 • 172 days on market • Built 1996

Price Change: $587,000 to $578,000 • 3 Beds • 2 Baths • 2,100 SqFt • Saddleback Ridge Phase 3 • 38 days on market • Built 2023
Saddleback Ridge Phase 3 is a newer A-frame cabin with a steep maintenance fee relative to its size, so buyers will likely focus on the low-maintenance interior and main-level living. The corner-lot setting and modern finishes are the main positives.
Price Change: $434,900 to $429,900 • 2 Beds • 1 Bath • 988 SqFt • Hidden Mtn East Ph Iv • 84 days on market • Built 1997

Matt's TakeMatt Maloney • The Maloney Team
Sevierville still has buyers for the right cabin, but pricing and presentation matter more than ever when inventory stays active.
Sevierville is still moving, but the market is doing what healthy mountain markets do when mortgage costs are elevated: buyers are choosy, and the cabins that pair location, layout, and a clear use case keep the best odds of getting attention. Freddie Mac reported the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 7.18% on November 5, 2026, while the Federal Reserve's target range remained 3.75% to 4.00% on October 29, 2026, so financing is still a real filter for many buyers. This week's mix of new luxury builds, established rental performers, and several price reductions suggests sellers may need to be realistic on asking price, especially where competing cabins offer pools, views, or strong rental histories. For sellers, conditions can be favorable when a cabin is well positioned, cleanly marketed, and priced to the segment, because serious buyers are still paying up for the right property; for buyers, the best opportunities are usually the cabins that combine usable access, strong amenities, and pricing that reflects today's cost of money rather than last year's optimism.
Sevierville Cabin Market FAQ
What stands out most in Sevierville this week?
The biggest story is the mix: 22 new listings came to market while 8 cabins closed and 2 moved into pending status. That means buyers had fresh inventory to compare, but sellers still had evidence that well-positioned cabins could get to closing. The week also produced several price reductions, which tells you pricing remains a live issue in the current market. In practical terms, the strongest listings were the ones that paired views, access, and a usable rental layout with a price that matched the segment.
Are luxury cabins still selling in Sevierville?
Yes, but they need to be positioned carefully. This week included luxury active listings, and the closings showed that higher-end cabins can still move when the layout, location, and amenity package line up with buyer expectations. The sold data also showed that some larger cabins closed below list while others held closer to asking, so the range is wide. In this price band, buyers are comparing more than square footage; they are weighing views, pool amenities, guest appeal, and long-term operating costs.
What should sellers pay attention to right now?
Pricing discipline matters, especially for cabins that have been on market for weeks or months. Several active listings saw reductions this week, and the sold results showed that buyers are still pushing back when asking prices outrun the property or the segment. Sellers should also pay attention to the cabin's story: access, views, recent updates, and whether the layout actually works for guests or second-home use. If a cabin is cleanly presented and priced against similar product, the current market can still reward that approach.
How useful are the rental income figures in listings?
They are useful as a starting point, but they should be read as listing-remarks claims unless independently verified in your own review. This week's report included several cabins with reported or projected gross revenue, including some that were described as turnkey or already operating as short-term rentals. Those figures can help frame the property's marketing position, but they do not replace a buyer's own due diligence on expenses, occupancy, or management costs. For buyers, the better question is whether the cabin's location, layout, and amenities support the revenue story in a realistic way.
How should I read the seven-day sample in this report?
Treat it as a current snapshot, not a full market forecast. A one-week window can show fresh listings, pending movement, closings, and price changes, but it is still a short sample and can be affected by the timing of specific cabins. That is why the most useful reading is to look at what types of cabins are moving, where they are located, and how pricing compares within the same segment. Over time, those details are more informative than any single week's headline count.

Its $949,000 price places it in the upper tier of this week's new inventory, which makes the layout and access especially important.
2 Beds • 3 Baths • 1,500 SqFt • Lakewood Hills Sub • 5 days on market • Built 2021
Lakewood Hills Sub brings a newer 2021 build with 2 bedrooms, 3 baths, and nearly half an acre, which is a useful mix for buyers who want a cabin feel without sacrificing more usable land. The reported rental revenue claim of roughly $73,000 in 2024 may also make it worth a closer look for investors, though that figure comes from the listing remarks.
Pigeon Forge Log Cabins Sold This Week
Recorded closings from November 2, 2026 through November 8, 2026.
2 Beds • 1 Bath • 676 SqFt • Honeymoon Gardens • 181 days on market • Built 2026 • Sold at 102.6% of list price
This sold cabin closed at $399,900 after 181 days on market, which shows that even a small, newly built cabin can need time before a buyer steps in. The 102.6% sale-to-list result suggests the final price exceeded asking, but the long market time is the more telling part for timing expectations.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,342 SqFt • Howard L Brown Prop • 32 days on market • Built 1996 • Sold at 99.2% of list price
The Howard L Brown Prop sale closed at $615,000 after 32 days on market, making it the week's fastest sale among the closed listings. The creekside two-cabin package and the seller-reported rental income claims likely helped support buyer interest, but the main takeaway is that a rare income-producing setup can move faster when the numbers and setting line up.
2 Beds • 2 Baths • 1,824 SqFt • Highland Park • 125 days on market • Built 2026 • Sold at 92.7% of list price
Highland Park closed at $630,000 after 125 days on market, which suggests this larger, newer cabin required patience before reaching a buyer. The sale came in below asking at 92.7% of list price, so this is the clearest example this week of a seller needing to meet the market rather than lead it.
Pigeon Forge Cabin Price and Status Changes
Other verified listing changes detected since the prior weekly snapshot.
Price Change: $975,000 to $974,900 • 4 Beds • 6 Baths • 2,586 SqFt • Covered Bridge Resort • 48 days on market • Built 2026
Covered Bridge Resort is a high-amenity four-bedroom cabin with an indoor pool, theater, and indoor-outdoor entertainment spaces, but it also carries a $950 quarterly maintenance fee. The recent move from $975,000 to $974,900 is only a small price change, but it keeps the property in a very premium bracket where the amenity package has to do the heavy lifting.
Price Change: $1,199,995 to $1,174,995 • 4 Beds • 4 Baths • 2,913 SqFt • Alpine Mountain Village • 145 days on market • Built 2021
Alpine Mountain Village remains one of the week's most expensive active cabins, and its heated indoor pool, theater and karaoke room, and multiple decks make it a feature-heavy listing. The recent price adjustment to $1,174,995 keeps it in the luxury tier, where presentation, amenities, and rental positioning matter a great deal.
Status Change: ACTIVE to PENDING - CONTINUE TO SHOW • 3 Beds • 3 Baths • 2,434 SqFt • Alpine Mountain Village • 85 days on market • Built 2005
This Alpine Mountain Village cabin is now pending, which means the market has already accepted its pricing and layout well enough to move it under contract. The 3-suite floor plan and the less-than-1-mile location from the Main Parkway likely helped make it attractive to both investors and second-home buyers.
Price Change: $998,000 to $997,000 • 9 Beds • 9 Baths • 3,216 SqFt • Royal Vista • 189 days on market • Built 2003
Royal Vista is a nine-bedroom, nine-bath cabin with a large group-rental setup and direct Parkway convenience, and the latest price move to $997,000 keeps it just under the million-dollar mark. The listing remarks point to revenue upside, but the important market detail is that large-capacity cabins like this need a buyer who values scale, access, and operational potential.
Price Change: $864,900 to $864,400 • 4 Beds • 5 Baths • 2,508 SqFt • Royal Vista Resub • 88 days on market • Built 2023
This newer Royal Vista Resub cabin combines city services, STR compliance, and a less-than-5-minute location from the Parkway, which are all practical advantages for an investor. The price step to $864,400 is modest, but the fully furnished package and covered decks keep it competitive in the upper-mid range.
Price Change: $1,174,000 to $1,173,000 • 8 Beds • 8 Baths • 4,028 SqFt • Falling Waters • 185 days on market • Built 2004
Falling Waters is a large creek-front cabin with an indoor swim spa, eight suites, and no steep-road access, which makes the property notably guest-friendly for its size. The price reduction to $1,173,000 keeps it in a premium investment bracket, where location and layout have to justify the capital outlay.
Price Change: $775,000 to $769,900 • 4 Beds • 3 Baths • 2,662 SqFt • Mccarter Heights Add • 84 days on market • Built 1992
This property is one of the more versatile offerings in the market because it includes two distinct rental units on one parcel, plus updated interiors and multiple parking and storage features. The recent price move to $769,900 keeps it in a range where the dual-unit setup may matter more than raw square footage alone.
Price Change: $759,900 to $750,000 • 5 Beds • 5 Baths • 2,392 SqFt • Arrowhead Resort • 125 days on market • Built 2001
Arrowhead Resort offers five bedrooms, five baths, and a reported average annual income figure in the listing remarks, but the more concrete advantage is the location close to the Parkway and resort amenities. The price reduction to $750,000 brings the property closer to the market's current comfort zone for a larger in-town cabin.
Price Change: $498,999 to $497,999 • 2 Beds • 3 Baths • 1,491 SqFt • Golf View Resort Pud Ph I • 144 days on market • Built 1999
Golf View Resort Pud Ph I is a duplex-style cabin with a flexible rental layout, resort amenities, and a long list of recent updates, including a new deck. The slight price move to $497,999 keeps it positioned as a value-conscious option for buyers who want access and utility more than luxury scale.
Price Change: $749,990 to $749,909 • 3 Beds • 3 Baths • 3,200 SqFt • 17 days on market • Built 2004
This Boone Acres Lane cabin has a large lot, a bunk room, and a strong amenity mix, which gives it broader appeal than many smaller Pigeon Forge cabins. The price move to $749,909 is small, but it keeps the property in the same competitive band where furnished, active-rental cabins are trying to stand out on location and usability.

Matt's TakeMatt Maloney • The Maloney Team
Pigeon Forge is still rewarding cabins that are well located, well kept, and priced with the market instead of against it.
This week’s Pigeon Forge numbers point to a market where location and cabin utility still carry the most weight. The new inventory leans toward turn-key, short-term-rental-ready cabins, including smaller getaway units and larger multi-bedroom properties with decks, hot tubs, and easy access to Parkway traffic. The sold cabins show that buyers will still pay up for the right setting and features, but the spread between list and closed prices also suggests pricing discipline matters. Mortgage rates remain a headwind, with Freddie Mac at 7.18% and the Federal Reserve target range at 3.75% to 4.00%, so sellers who have a cabin that is clean, well positioned, and realistically priced may still find this a workable time to list. In practical terms, the strongest selling conditions tend to be where a cabin has broad guest appeal, clear access, and fewer obvious upgrade needs.
Pigeon Forge Cabin Market FAQ
What does this week's Pigeon Forge cabin activity tell buyers?
Buyers are seeing a mix of newly listed cabins and a small number of closed sales, which means selection is available but not overly broad. The week's new inventory spans smaller turnkey cabins and larger group-friendly properties, so buyers can compare lifestyle use against investment potential. The closed sales also show that well-located cabins can still sell, but they do not all move quickly. If you are shopping, focus on access, layout, and whether the cabin is priced in line with its condition and income profile.
What should sellers in Pigeon Forge pay attention to right now?
The most useful signal for sellers is that cabins with the right location and features can still close, but pricing has to be grounded in current demand. This week's sold listings included a compact cabin that spent a long time on market and a larger creekside package that moved faster, which shows that setup matters as much as size. Sellers with clean presentation, easy access, and strong guest appeal may have a better shot at standing out. The market is still selective, so overpricing can leave a cabin sitting while better-positioned listings move first.
How active was the market during this seven-day period?
The week brought 4 new listings, no pending listings reported in the period, and 3 closed sales, along with several price and status changes. That mix suggests steady but measured movement rather than a surge in activity. For readers tracking momentum, the important point is that activity was real, but not broad enough to call it a fast-moving market.
How should readers use the pricing and timing sample in this report?
This report reflects one seven-day window, so it is best used as a current snapshot rather than a full-market forecast. The sold sample is helpful for seeing how cabins performed in this week's price bands, especially because the average closed-sale days on market was 112.7 and the average sale-to-list percentage was 98.2%. Still, a single week can be skewed by property type, location, and how long a cabin had been listed before selling. The safest read is to compare your cabin to the closest match in size, setting, and condition rather than to the entire city at once.
What methodology questions do readers usually have about a weekly cabin report like this?
Readers often want to know whether a weekly report is meant to show every possible shift in the market, and the answer is no. It is a short-window look at what actually listed, went pending, and closed in the specific area, so it is most useful for near-term pricing and positioning. Because the sample is limited to one week, outliers can matter more than they would in a monthly report. That is why the best use of the numbers is to identify current listing patterns, sale timing, and the kinds of cabins attracting buyer attention right now.

Matt's TakeMatt Maloney • The Maloney Team
Gatlinburg is still rewarding cabins with the right mix of location, presentation, and usable features, but the market is being selective.
Gatlinburg continues to favor cabins that either solve a location problem or offer something buyers cannot easily replicate, such as walkability, strong view corridors, acreage, or a clear short-term-rental setup. The week’s sales show that well-positioned cabins can still trade near list, but the broader active market also shows that pricing has to line up with the property’s finish level, access, and income story. Freddie Mac reported the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at 7.18% on November 5, 2026, while the Federal Reserve’s target range for the federal funds rate was 3.75% to 4.00% on October 29, 2026, so financing remains a real consideration for buyers even as park visitation stays solid. For sellers, conditions may be more favorable when a cabin is well prepared, clearly priced against nearby competition, and aimed at the buyer pool most likely to value its specific strengths rather than trying to appeal to everyone at once.
Gatlinburg Cabin Market FAQ
What does this week’s Gatlinburg market activity say for buyers?
Buyers saw a mix of fresh inventory and older listings that required price adjustments, which means selection is available but value matters. The new offerings ranged from smaller investment cabins to large group-capacity properties, so buyers can shop across several price tiers without leaving Gatlinburg. The most competitive cabins appear to be the ones with strong location stories, usable outdoor space, and clear rental or lifestyle appeal. For a buyer, the practical move is to compare each cabin against nearby alternatives on size, setting, and overall condition rather than focusing on list price alone.
What should sellers notice in this week’s report?
Sellers should notice that the week produced closed sales, but several active cabins still needed price relief to stay relevant. That tells you the market is not rewarding vague positioning; it is rewarding cabins that are priced to their exact segment and presented with a clear use case. In Gatlinburg, that use case may be walkability, views, land, updated interiors, or a rental-ready layout. If a cabin does not immediately stand out, the market seems more likely to pressure price than to overlook the gap.
How fast are Gatlinburg cabins selling right now?
The closed sales this week averaged 135 days on market, and the median sold cabin took 145.5 days, so transaction speed is not especially fast in this scope. That said, speed varies a lot by property type and pricing fit, with one of the week’s sales moving in 31 days while others took far longer. The pending result also shows that a cabin can still find traction after a long exposure period if the right buyer comes along. For sellers, the takeaway is that correct pricing and clear presentation matter more than expecting a quick sale.
How useful are the price and rental claims in the listings?
They can be useful, but they should be treated carefully. When a listing mentions revenue, that is a reported listing-remarks claim, not an independently verified income statement, so it helps frame the property but should not be used as a promise. The best use of those claims is to compare a cabin’s positioning against its location, size, and amenities to see whether the ask makes sense. Buyers should still review actual operating history, expenses, and permitted use before relying on the income story.
How should readers think about this week’s sample of Gatlinburg cabins?
This report reflects one seven-day window, so it is best used as a snapshot of current positioning rather than a full-cycle forecast. That is especially important in Gatlinburg, where a cabin’s appeal can depend on walkability, views, acreage, or community amenities. For practical decisions, readers should compare each cabin against similar cabins in the same price band and setting, not against the whole market at once.

Current Rate and Demand Context
As of November 1, 2026, mortgage rates were elevated but easing slightly, the federal funds target was still restrictive, Great Smoky Mountains demand remained strong, and the park continued to report heavy visitation and gateway spending. I could not retrieve a current national housing inventory or sales release from the allowed domains in this run, so that topic is omitted.

Matt's TakeMatt Maloney • The Maloney Team
Buyers still have choices, but the best cabins are the ones that are priced cleanly and backed by real guest appeal.
This week’s Smoky Mountains market still looks selective rather than broad-brush strong. Mortgage rates remained elevated, with Freddie Mac putting the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at 7.24% on October 29, 2026, while the Federal Reserve kept the federal funds target range at 3.75% to 4.00%; that gap matters because financing costs are still shaping what buyers can comfortably pay even as tourism demand stays solid. The National Park Service continues to point to heavy visitation in Great Smoky Mountains National Park and says autumn typically brings congestion and limited parking, which supports short-term rental demand for well-located cabins. For sellers, conditions may be favorable when a cabin is truly turn-key, well located, and positioned for guests, especially if it competes on views, access, or standout amenities. For buyers, the market is giving you room to compare pricing, income claims, and finish quality carefully, because the best listings are being defined by specifics, not just momentum.
Smoky Mountains Cabin Market FAQ
What was the biggest takeaway from this week's Smoky Mountains cabin market?
The main takeaway is that activity stayed busy, but buyers remained selective. New listings came in across a wide range of prices and sizes, while pending and closed deals showed that location, access, and guest-ready features still matter most. The week also produced 16 closed sales, so there was real transaction flow rather than just listing activity. In practical terms, well-positioned cabins continued to move, but pricing and presentation still mattered enough to separate the best listings from the rest.
How should buyers read the current mix of new, pending, and sold cabins?
Buyers should treat this market as choice-rich but not loose. The new listings include everything from compact one-bedroom cabins to large luxury investment properties, which gives buyers room to compare size, amenities, and setting before committing. The pending and sold results show that some cabins did find buyers, but often after meaningful market time, so careful underwriting still matters. A cabin that fits the location, price, and guest-use profile is more likely to stand out than one that simply has a long feature list.
Are the current pricing patterns helpful for sellers?
They can be, but only for the right cabin. Sellers with turn-key cabins, strong views, easy access, or clear rental appeal may still find conditions favorable because those traits remain easy for buyers to understand. The week's closed sales also suggest that some sellers needed to adjust expectations, especially on older or more specialized inventory. For an owner considering a sale, the market looks most favorable when the cabin is ready for market, priced against recent competing listings, and supported by a clean property story.
How reliable are the rental income figures shown in some listings?
Treat them as listing-remarks claims unless you have access to the underlying records. Several cabins were marketed with reported or projected gross rental revenue, occupancy, or future-booking references, and those figures can be useful for comparison. They are still seller or listing claims, not independently verified figures in this report. The safest approach is to use them as a starting point and then review expenses, booking history, management details, and any assumptions behind the numbers before making a decision.
What methodology limits should readers keep in mind for this weekly report?
This report focuses on the current seven-day window and summarizes the cabins that changed status, came to market, or closed during that period. That means it is useful for reading current conditions, but it is not the same thing as a full-cycle market study. Some cabins have clear rental claims or price history in the listing remarks, while others do not, so the level of detail varies by property. For the most useful read, compare each cabin against its own price, setting, and amenity package rather than assuming every listing is competing in the same lane.
Market activity was checked through November 2, 2026. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed; buyers and sellers should verify property details independently.

Matt's Take on Smoky Mountains Cabin SalesOctober 2026 • The Maloney Team
The median sale price was $600,000, down from $652,500, while the average marketing time lengthened to 147 days.
From my side, October reads as a market that stayed active but a little more selective. The closed-sale count improved, yet the mix moved toward lower-priced cabins and sellers saw a bit more give on time and price compared with September. That does not tell one simple story for every cabin, but it does suggest buyers had more room to work in some segments than they did the month before.
Smoky Mountains Monthly Cabin Market FAQ
What happened to closed sales in October across Smoky Mountains cabins?
Closed sales rose to 75 in October from 72 in September. That is a modest increase, but it still shows a market that stayed active at the closing table. The monthly change does not tell us anything about pending activity or current inventory.
Did the median sale price move up or down?
The median sale price was $600,000 in October, down from $652,500 in September. That points to a shift in the sales mix rather than a simple statement about every cabin gaining or losing value. A median change is about where the closings landed, not a universal price move.
How did marketing time change?
The average marketing time was 147 days in October, compared with 121.7 days in September. That means cabins, on average, took longer to get to closing once listed. It does not mean every cabin followed the same path, since some sold much faster than others.
Were cabins still selling close to asking price?
Yes, but a little less closely than the month before. The average sale-to-list ratio was 96.1% in October versus 96.8% in September. Some cabins sold at full asking, while others closed below asking, so the mix was still varied.
What should a seller take from this report?
The market remained productive, but buyers appeared a bit more price-sensitive in several closings. Strong presentation, realistic pricing, and patience still mattered. The results also suggest that individual cabin type, location, and condition continued to influence where a sale landed versus asking.
