Prime Location-3 Min to Town! Large Private Cabin, Hot Tub, Fireplace, Game Rm.



Whispering Canyon is THE ideal cabin where you will enjoy the best of the Smokies; a relaxing log cabin experience nestled in the trees right in the heart of Gatlinburg. The cabin is a very short 3 minute drive to The Parkway in Gatlinburg, 3 minutes to Ober Gatlinburg for year round outdoor play, 4 minutes to the National Park entrance and only 10-15 min to Pigeon Forge, with no scary roads and easy access to the many, many local attractions. It's also privately tucked into the canyon with no nearby neighbors, giving you that traditional cabin in the woods vacation.

Please note:
Whispering Canyon has a winding, moderately steep driveway with level parking at the top for up to 4 cars. Driveway conditions can be slippery or icy. All wheel or 4-wheel drive is recommended in icy and snowy weather.

Whispering Canyon includes:
-Comfortable accommodations for up to 12 guests
-3 Levels of living space
-3 Private Bedrooms with full bathrooms
-3 Decks that each run the full length of the cabin
-Wi-Fi and smart TV's
-Pool table and arcade games in the rec room
-Reading nook and board game table in the loft
-Hot tub * Propane Firepit * BBQ Grill on the decks

Whispering Canyon, located off Ski Mountain Rd in Gatlinburg, is a beautiful and comfortable cabin perfect for gatherings of friends and family. Everyone will find space to spread out, relax and rejuvenate. All 3 large bedrooms have access to one of 3 full length decks. All 3 decks come with multiple rocking chairs and lounge seating to enjoy your morning cup of coffee or your evening glass of wine (or 'shine). The pool table and arcade games are ready for friendly competition. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to prepare any meal. Roku enabled Smart TVs allow you to access your own streaming subscriptions from 6 different rooms throughout the cabin. When you are ready, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, and all local attractions are just a few minutes away. And you can't get much closer to the main entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Staying at Whispering Canyon will allow you to bypass the majority of traffic going into the park.
Bears do visit the cabin on a regular basis. There is an active bear trail from our driveway! Please supervise children outside, keep car doors locked and cabin doors shut at all times. Do not leave food in your car or outside. All trash must be placed in the bear bins.

This is a perfect quiet spot for reading, playing a game, or getting some work done. The full length deck can be accessed by both the loft and the bedroom.

Lower Level - Travel downstairs to find another whole floor. Here you will find a large multi-use recreation room with sectional sofa in front of a 65 inch Smart TV, a pool table,2 arcade games, and pub table w/ stools. The 3rd bedroom is next to the rec room, with a set of twin over full bunk beds, another full / full bunkbed and an attached full bathroom with tub/shower combo.

Pro: Location! Loved not being able to see other houses. Close to town. We saw bears within the first hour of being there. The bears tried to open our car door. My husband forgot to lock the house door and she opened it and stuck her head inside. Be careful! Easy check-in and check out. Bed on each level. Sofa bed was good. Cons: The air is slow to change. Arrived and it was set at 74. To get it down to 71 took all night (but finally got there). I wrote to ask if there was an issue with the air and she told me not to turn the heat on in the basement because it will make it warmer on the main level. Lol I wrote to tell her there wasn’t a chance we were turning the heat on but never received a response. It would have been nice for her to check back in. The beds- this one always gets me. Main level bed was pretty BAD. You could tell it was a cheap mattress. Go to Costco and get a descent one. The bed upstairs was super soft but better than main level. The sheets and linens were great. Just wish the beds were better quality. Overall we would stay here again. The active bear trail was for sure. We saw 7 bears and our grands loved that. If the beds were better, would have given 5 stars.

Family Hiking Experience

First, thanks to Rob and Erin for timely communication and quick responses to all my questions. Second, the property very accurately matches the description offered. Third, location was amazing for our journeys to central parts of GSMNP. Overall, an amazing weekend in which we were truly thankful to have a home away from home after some exhausting (but rewarding) hikes.

This house was absolutely perfect for our family during our stay. It was a great location to get to downtown Gatlinburg but also excellent to skirt around it to go to Pigeon Forge or into the national park. It was pristine, beautiful, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Definitely be aware of locking car doors even when loading up! We enjoyed a very close brush with nature when a bear family came visiting and helped themselves to some snacks in our van while we were getting ready to travel home! All in all, you won’t regret staying at Rob and Erin’s cabin one bit!

Quiet cabin near town

This is a lovely getaway to enjoy while visiting the Great Smoky Mountains, Gatlinburg, or Pigeon Forge. It is just a short drive into Gatlinburg. This cabin had everything we needed and our family enjoyed our time here. It was very quiet and felt like a hillside retreat. The outdoor decks off of each level were a great place to relax and watch the wildlife!

Perfect location

This cabin’s location is ideal, close to the main drag in Gatlinburg but is tucked away in a quiet, private location. No neighbors, no noise. The cabin is large with good sized bedrooms and with 3.5 bathrooms we had plenty of space. The owners were easy to work with. Would stay there again.

Wonderful cabin if you are looking to stay in- great location to get out and do things too! The hosts thought of everything to keep us comfortable including extra heaters, and plenty of comfortable bedding and extra blankets! We really appreciated the provided supplies to get us going and were able to have groceries delivered. Also, greatly appreciated minimal checkout chores.

Fabulous Thanksgiving trip

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful cabin. Everything was exactly as listed. The location is fantastic. You can get to Gatlinburg in just minutes, it is also a short drive to Ober Mountain and you can cross the mountain to get to the bypass and be in Pigeon Forge very quickly. We cooked an amazing Thanksgiving dinner while there. The kitchen was perfect for cooking. And, the snacks and coffee pods were a very gracious gift. We will definitely stay here again.

Excellent Family Getaway

Whispering Canyon was the perfect location for our family vacation. Rob and Erin are thoughtful and welcoming hosts, as they provided everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The amenities were outstanding on each level, and the location is perfect. Although just a few minutes from downtown Gatlinburg and the park entrance, you feel quite secluded with its quiet and peaceful mountainside location. The decks are large, contain comfortable furniture and a hot tub to relax and chill. The outdoor firepit table and lower-level game room were perfect hangout locations. The hosts were in regular contact to ensure that the cabin met our expectations. The welcome basket with various snacks and goodies was a simple yet appreciated touch. We loved the cabin, would highly recommend it and hope to come back soon. Thanks Rob and Erin!
