New Smoky Mountains Log Cabin Listings
New active log cabin listings recorded from August 24 through August 30, 2026.
- 1736 Walker Trail, SeviervilleNew $439,900
This new Fox Run listing is a straightforward value play for buyers who want a two-bedroom cabin with mountain views, level yard space, and close-in convenience. The recent build quality, parking, and updated mechanicals make it a practical alternative to more amenity-heavy but higher-priced options.
- 714 Aerie Way, Pigeon ForgeNew $575,000
This Eagles Ridge cabin leans heavily on location, outdoor porch space, and a layout that can sleep a larger group than the bedroom count suggests. The remarks’ revenue-potential language is a listing claim, but the convenient Parkway access is the most practical reason buyers will compare it here.
- 2469 Misty Shadows Drive, SeviervilleNew $549,900
This Misty Shadows cabin is all about one-level living, acreage, and mountain views, which makes it attractive for both second-home buyers and STR users. The large lot gives room for future outdoor amenities, so the property’s value is not just in the cabin itself but in the site potential around it.
- 461 Sassafras Trail, SeviervilleNew $769,900
This Sassafras Gap log cabin offers a strong combination of privacy, acreage, and major renovations, including the cabin, decks, appliances, and furnishings. The reported $93,000 annual revenue in the remarks is a listing claim, but the more durable takeaway is the rare blend of view, space, and near-Spur convenience.
- 1740 High Rock Way, SeviervilleNew $1,899,999
This rare Black Bear Ridge commercial-style asset is far outside the typical cabin profile, with a wedding venue use, pool passes, and multiple revenue streams described in the remarks. The reported $51,000 pool income claim is unverified, but the biggest decision point is that buyers are really evaluating a hybrid commercial-and-resort property, not a standard STR cabin.
- 827 Kings Way, GatlinburgNew $975,000
This near-new Gatlinburg cabin combines views, proximity to attractions, and a layout that already works well for a family or small-group rental. The fact that it is on an established rental program and built in 2019 makes it more relevant to buyers seeking operating history alongside newer construction quality.
- 513 Parsons Branch Way, GatlinburgNew $575,000
This Gatlinburg hideaway already has the basics many rental buyers want: location near the Parkway and National Park, updates, and a layout that sleeps six. The remarks call it a proven performer, but that should be treated as a seller claim; the decision-useful point is its city-utility convenience and compact efficiency.
- 3213 Big Cove Court, SeviervilleNew $1,679,000
This Wears Valley log home offers acreage, a three-car garage, and a layout that suits both full-time living and larger second-home use. It has the kind of utility-heavy appeal that can matter as much as rental potential for buyers who want mountain property without sacrificing storage and parking.
- 3225 Emerald Springs Loop, SeviervilleNew $1,050,000
This new-construction Shagbark cabin stands out for its modern design, resort amenities, and mountain-view positioning across three levels. The projected $130,000 annual income in the remarks is a listing-claims projection, but the bedroom-per-level layout and covered decks are the practical features buyers will weigh.
- 1857 Elk Springs Way, GatlinburgNew $529,000
This Elk Springs cabin is newly active and should be read as a close-in Gatlinburg option with a strong resort identity, hot tub, and manageable 2BR footprint. The fact that it is only newly listed says nothing about demand by itself, so the useful information is the location, layout, and established rental-program setup.
- 807 Great Smoky Way, GatlinburgNew $740,000
This Gatlinburg Falls cabin has the kind of four-bedroom, four-bath layout that works well for group stays, and its multiple deck levels add usable outdoor value. The active rental-program positioning makes it a practical look for buyers comparing income-ready resort cabins.
Smoky Mountains Cabins Newly Under Contract
Cabins that moved into pending status during this reporting window.
- 625 Gatlinburg Falls Way, GatlinburgPending $550,000
This Gatlinburg Falls cabin moved to pending, and the timing suggests buyers responded to the combination of resort amenities, recent updates, and walkable Parkway proximity. The game-room setup and hot tub are the kinds of features that matter most in this size band.
- 3475 Twin City Way, Pigeon ForgePending $450,000
This Pigeon Forge cabin moved to pending after a long search period, likely reflecting the market’s sensitivity to value, condition, and renovation potential. The unfinished basement is the biggest decision-useful feature because it gives the next owner room to create added guest space or amenity value.
- 3429 Mtn Tyme Way, SeviervillePending $1,100,000
This luxury cabin’s move to pending after 60 days suggests the market responded to its newer build, mountain view, and no-step parking access. The remarks’ projected rental figure is a seller claim, but the property’s polished finish level and easy entry likely helped it stand out.
- 2466 Bryan Road, SeviervillePending $850,000
This large Wears Valley cabin moved to pending after an extended listing period, which may reflect how buyers responded to its size, parking, and established income profile. The remarks describe consistent revenue and high guest capacity as listing claims, but the practical appeal here is the rare combination of accessibility, no HOA, and room for bigger groups.
- 1932 Thistle Thorn Trail, SeviervillePending $1,999,000
The pending status on this 12-bedroom cabin underscores how limited inventory can support very large group-rental assets when the location and permit capacity line up. With 52-occupant permit language in the remarks and multiple entertainment areas, it sits in a narrow niche that few properties can match.
- 2048 Eagle Feather Drive, SeviervillePending $469,900
The move to pending after a long marketing period suggests the cabin’s mountain-view setting, furnished presentation, and resort access eventually found a buyer. The listing’s projected rental range is a remarks-based claim, but the key takeaway is that flat parking and a family-friendly layout were notable differentiators.
- 3515 Mountain Tyme Way, SeviervillePending $729,900
This luxury log cabin went pending quickly, which suggests the view quality, bonus rooms, and turnkey presentation were compelling in the upper-mid price range. The remarks’ 10-out-of-10 ranking and review count are still seller claims, but the overall package clearly fit the market niche.
- 2440 Paradise Falls Way, SeviervillePending $1,235,000
This Wears Valley retreat offers acreage, private waterfall access rights, and substantial recent improvements, which likely helped it secure a pending status after a longer marketing period. The remarks emphasize unique land features and upgrades, but those should be read as seller claims unless independently confirmed.
- 2867 White Oak Ridge Lane, SeviervillePending $615,000
The pending status on this Wears Valley cabin came after a long stretch on market, suggesting buyers took time to weigh its updated interior, sauna, and mountain-view setting. The projected income noted in the remarks is a listing-claim only, but the property’s size and turnkey furnishing help explain its appeal.
Smoky Mountains Log Cabins Sold This Week
Recorded closings from August 24 through August 30, 2026.
- 2011 Ridgecrest Loop Lane, SeviervilleSold $458,000
This closed 1BR cabin sold at its full list price, which is a useful reminder that smaller, private cabins with a reported income story can still clear well when they are priced correctly. The remarks’ roughly $50K annual gross claim is a listing statement, but the main strength was the private setting close to Parkway access.
- 3856 Twilight Way, Pigeon ForgeSold $979,000
This newly built Pigeon Forge resort cabin closed at $979,000, a modest discount to list, which shows buyers still rewarded sharp pricing even on amenity-rich properties. The indoor pool and downtown access made it a strong group-rental candidate, and the closing speed was solid for a new construction asset of this size.
- 3321 Pine Peak Way, SeviervilleSold $760,000
This sold Pine Mountain cabin closed below list after a relatively brief marketing period, which suggests buyers were willing to pay close to ask for a new luxury build with major view appeal. The basement theater, outdoor kitchen, and multiple fireplaces helped it compete in the upper-end market.
Smoky Mountains Cabin Price and Status Changes
Other verified listing changes detected since the prior weekly snapshot.
- 2176 Spurling Road, SeviervillePrice Change $1,150,000
This brand-new indoor-pool cabin saw a small price reduction while staying firmly in the large-group, high-capacity investment category. The projected $160,000 annual income in the remarks is a listing-remarks claim, but the pool, size, and setting remain the main reasons a buyer would focus here.
- 1656 Walker Trail, SeviervillePrice Change $2,099,000
This five-cabin portfolio listing got a meaningful price cut, which matters because bulk assets are often judged by portfolio math rather than single-property emotion. Buyers will be focused on the scale, acreage, and collective income potential rather than any one cabin’s design details.
- 3402 Cherokee Ridge Way, SeviervillePrice Change $499,000
This dog-friendly Wears Valley cabin continues to stand out for practical guest features such as fenced outdoor space, easy access, and an RV hookup. The price cut helps its position against cabins that rely only on view and décor rather than utility and flexibility.
- 4326 Forest Ridge Way, Pigeon ForgePrice Change $774,000
A sharp price reduction brought this indoor-pool cabin closer to where buyers may be comparing similar resort properties, especially given its Mount LeConte views and strong amenity set. The reported gross-income figure in the remarks is a listing claim, but the property’s recent updates and pool feature are the core value drivers.
- 505 Hoot Owl Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $472,999
This one-bedroom Gatlinburg honeymoon cabin saw a small price adjustment while still emphasizing its actual income history and proven short-term rental footprint. For buyers, the key decision point is the combination of a tiny-footprint cabin, overnight-only zoning, and a strong Gatlinburg location.
- 1107 Ridgefield Drive, SeviervillePrice Change $294,500
This small honeymoon cabin continues to position itself as a value-focused romantic retreat with a below-appraisal price point and an income estimate in the remarks. That projected rental range is unverified, but the compact size, hot tub, and easy access between the parks are the main selling points.
- 2656 Sunset Road, SeviervillePrice Change $799,000
This newly built Shagbark cabin remains a strong example of a modern mountain home with high-end finishes and clean mountain-view appeal. The reduction makes it more competitive for buyers comparing newer inventory in a gated resort setting.
- Pigeon ForgePrice Change $787,000
This five-bedroom Arrowhead Resort cabin was reduced again while still leaning on its proven income profile and bathroom-per-bedroom convenience. The remarks cite annual revenue figures as listing claims, but the larger takeaway is that this is a high-capacity cabin in a very close-in Pigeon Forge location.
- 830 Great Smoky Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $923,999
This Gatlinburg Falls cabin received another small reduction while remaining positioned as a three-ensuite, group-friendly rental. Recent updates to the roof, siding, fireplace, and hot tub keep it in the conversation for buyers focused on lower near-term upkeep needs.
- 3286 Lonesome Pine Way, SeviervillePrice Change $1,150,000
This indoor-pool log cabin remains one of the more amenity-rich active listings, and the reduction keeps it competitive against other resort pool properties. The layout, multiple living areas, and mountain views make it especially relevant for buyers targeting larger family or group stays.
- 3103 Perry Circle Lane, SeviervillePrice Change $872,999
This classic log cabin in Wears Valley remains well positioned because of its expansive decks, parking, and flexible sleeping arrangement, even after a slight price trim. The pending status indicates that the combination of location and usable outdoor space likely resonated with a buyer.
- 2028 Piney Overlook Lane, SeviervillePrice Change $775,000
This cabin’s big parking pad, corner lot, and move-in-ready condition give it a practical edge in a market where access matters as much as view. The latest price cut makes the property more competitive for buyers who want a second home now and optional rental use later.
- 776 Mountain Stream Way, GatlinburgStatus Change $1,389,999
This large Gatlinburg Falls pool cabin moved from pending back to active, which means the deal did not hold and the property is again in the market. The indoor heated pool, six bedrooms, and strong historical income claims make it notable, but the status change is the key signal for buyers watching the segment.
- 3262 Pine Peak Way, Pigeon ForgePrice Change $1,144,900
A price adjustment on this new-construction Pigeon Forge cabin keeps the property in the luxury income bracket while preserving its sleeps-16 layout and strong view corridors. The $40,000 furnishing credit is a notable buyer incentive, while the projected revenue remains a listing-remarks claim rather than verified income.
- 3123 Rocking Chair Lane, SeviervillePrice Change $849,999
This Wears Valley log home continues to sit at a higher price point because of its acreage, garage capacity, and flexible use as a second home or permitted rental. The updates and generator help it stand out for buyers prioritizing practicality, parking, and long-term holding value.
- 753 Glory Ridge Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $625,000
The latest reduction on this Arts & Crafts Community cabin makes the furnished, turnkey positioning more competitive for second-home or rental buyers. Its location, dual fireplaces, and strong guest appeal are the most decision-useful points, especially for someone wanting Gatlinburg access without being directly in town.
- 834 Great Smoky Way, GatlinburgPrice Change $488,000
This Gatlinburg Falls cabin saw another price cut while offering a proven rental track record, mountain views, and city-utility convenience. The property remains aimed at buyers who want a manageable footprint with strong guest amenities and easy access to downtown Gatlinburg.
- 1310 Amazing Grace Way, SeviervilleStatus Change $2,600,000
This 8BR/8.5BA new-construction cabin moved from active to pending, showing continued demand for large-group properties with indoor pools and full sprinkler systems. The size, amenities, and private gathering spaces make it a strong fit for buyers focused on high-capacity rental positioning.
- 3059 Perry Circle Lane, SeviervillePrice Change $525,000
A compact Wears Valley cabin with broad mountain views and a flexible loft setup, this one remains positioned for buyers who want privacy and scenic value over sheer square footage. The remarks refer to estimated rental income, but that figure is only a listing-remarks projection and should be weighed alongside the cabin’s shared-well setup and older build.
- 1724 Azalea Circle, SeviervillePrice Change $475,000
The latest reduction reinforces the seller’s push to stay competitive on a fully furnished cabin with easy access, wooded setting, and flexible guest appeal. The remarks describe verified-looking rental activity and future reservations, but those should still be treated as listing claims rather than independently confirmed performance.
- 658 Wiley Oakley Drive, GatlinburgPrice Change $1,500,000
This newer luxury log cabin was reduced again while still offering a premium finish level, strong mountain views, and a high-end build in Chalet Village North. For a buyer, the practical point is that price is now being used to sharpen the property’s position in a crowded upper-end segment.
- 643 Forest Drive, Pigeon ForgePrice Change $1,100,000
This Parkway-adjacent five-bedroom cabin continues to be priced as a large-format income property, and the latest reduction keeps it in front of buyers watching for walkable Pigeon Forge access. The reported projected annual revenue above $140,000 is a listing-remarks claim, but the location and room count remain the main value drivers.
- 1625 Bluff Ridge Road, SeviervillePrice Change $524,000
A highly distinctive handcrafted cabin with custom interior features, lots of parking, and a private setting, this one is geared toward buyers who value character over conventional layout. The remarks also reference repeat business and strong reviews, which are listing-claimed performance signals rather than independently verified results.
- 1748 Ridgecrest Drive, SeviervillePrice Change $550,000
This waterfront-access cabin stands out for its rare dock amenity, strong privacy, and compact 1BR format that can appeal to buyers seeking a differentiated overnight rental. The reported over-$80K financials in the remarks are a listing-claim only, but the combination of location, screened porch, and water access helps explain the property’s positioning.
Smoky Mountains Log Cabin Market Pulse
These comparisons use recorded log cabin closings in the current seven-day window versus the prior seven-day window. They appear only when each window contains at least three sales and the necessary fields are present.
Current Rate and Demand Context
Latest primary-source housing demand signals for the Smokies market show mortgage rates were still in the mid-6% range, the Fed had held policy steady at its July meeting, Great Smoky Mountains National Park visitation remained strong year-to-date, and national resale inventory was still only about 4.6 months of supply. That combination supports active demand but not a blanket “best time to sell” conclusion; local pricing, carrying costs, and STR seasonality still matter.

Mortgage rates are still in the mid-6% range, so buyers are selective, but the best seller opportunities usually come from scarce inventory, strong location, and properties that are priced to match the current comp set.
This week’s activity says the Smokies market is still functioning, but it is not a one-speed market. We have 11 new listings, 9 pending sales, and 3 closings, which tells me demand is present for the right cabin, especially when the layout, access, and amenity package fit what guests actually book. Nationally, the 30-year mortgage rate is still in the mid-6% range, while the Federal Reserve has held its policy rate steady; those are related but not the same thing. The Fed sets a short-term policy target, but mortgage rates are shaped by broader bond-market pricing, inflation expectations, and lender spreads, so homeowners should not assume a Fed pause automatically brings cheaper borrowing. For sellers, conditions may be more favorable when the property has a clear advantage—good parking, strong views, close-in access, indoor pool, or group capacity—and when pricing is matched to the current competition rather than anchored to last year’s peak. That matters even more in a market with active price adjustments and a national housing backdrop that still shows only about 4.6 months of supply. In short, there is still a market for well-positioned cabins, but the margin for overpricing is narrower, and the cabins that move are usually the ones that line up with both guest demand and today’s financing environment.
Smoky Mountains Cabin Market FAQ
What stands out most in this week’s Smoky Mountains cabin report?
The biggest headline is the balance of 11 new listings and 9 pending sales, which shows that fresh inventory is still meeting real buyer demand. The week also produced 3 closed sales with an average sale price of $732,333 and an average of 94.3 days on market. That combination suggests buyers are active, but they remain selective about price, access, and feature set. The 22 price changes also reinforce that sellers are still adjusting to the current market rather than relying on momentum alone.
What should buyers focus on when comparing cabins in this week’s list?
Buyers should compare the features that affect both usability and guest appeal: parking, road access, view quality, bedroom count, and whether the cabin has a pool, hot tub, or flexible sleeping space. In this report, many of the stronger candidates had either resort amenities, easy access, or a clear layout advantage for groups. Smaller cabins can still work well, but the practical question is whether the property stands apart enough to justify its price. If you are buying for income, look closely at the layout and location first, then treat any revenue language in remarks as a claim to verify, not a guarantee.
What does the pending activity say about seller expectations?
Pending status is useful because it shows which listings actually found a buyer in the current seven-day window, and several did so after meaningful time on market. That tells us pricing and presentation still matter, especially in the higher-priced and larger-cabin segments. Some pending properties had strong view corridors, indoor pools, or resort access, while others likely benefited from sharper pricing or broader utility. The common thread is that buyers appear willing to act when the property gives them a clear use case and the price is inside the range they are already watching.
How should sellers read the closed-sale numbers this week?
The closed sales provide a practical benchmark: average sale-to-list was 98.0%, which means the closed properties generally sold close to asking price. That does not mean every cabin will sell at that level, but it does suggest well-priced listings can still perform without heavy discounting. The average days on market of 94.3 is also a reminder that not every sale is fast, even when the final price is close to list. For sellers, the lesson is to align with the right segment and avoid assuming the market will absorb an aspirational price without evidence.
How is this report’s sample size and timing meant to be used?
This report covers a seven-day window, so it is best used as a short-term snapshot rather than a full market cycle analysis. That makes it useful for spotting what is happening right now—new listings, pending activity, closed sales, and price adjustments—but it can also be noisy if one unusually large sale skews the averages. The week’s closed-sale metrics are informative because there were enough closings to calculate average price, days on market, and sale-to-list percentage, but they should still be read alongside the mix of properties that sold. In other words, use it to understand current conditions, not to assume a permanent trend from one week alone.
