Private Waterfalls on 3 Acres. A Creekside Smoky Mtn Retreat - Read Our Reviews!

Note: No scary, steep mountain roads to traverse! Easy access off I-40. You will be staying only 2 miles off exit 412, which is only 4 miles from exit 407, the gateway to Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and The Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Be prepared to be awed! You’ve just found a little slice of heaven.

Stay next to a fully functioning 1798 grist mill. A rare piece of TN history

This 2 story, coziest of cabins on 3 secluded acres

Relax by your own private cascading creek. Cook out on the grill, picnic or warm up by the fire pit, all creek side. If you’re lucky, you might get a rare sighting of our resident family of six otters playing & diving for fish in the creek!

Dandridge (the 2nd oldest town in TN) scenic Douglas Lake, Pigeon Forge and The Smokies are close by.

Experience a place that, prior to being featured on the Discovery Channel, was known only to a few locals.

Privately tucked away in a 3 acre wooded hollow, is a place like no other. Driving in, the three story, fully functioning, authentic 1798 grist mill will greet, charm & fascinate. Note: Mill is not open to the public so you will have the property all to yourselves during your stay.

This property has been an iron forge, foundry; and a mill (for locals and moonshiners alike) for the past 225+ years. The cabin, hidden behind the mill, was built much later as a private residence. This property is now, for the first time in history, available for you to enjoy. By staying here you will also be contributing to the preservation and upkeep of this wonderful piece of history for future generations.

Hidden behind the mill is the cabin on Dumplin Creek. King & queen bedrooms upstairs, a newly remodeled bathroom downstairs, quaint kitchen, living room & hidden laundry.

If it couldn’t get any better than this, sit on one of the front porch rockers or swing and be relaxed by your own private cascading creek! Historic Dumplin Creek runs right through the middle of the property, has a 5ft deep swimming hole and is even known to have a fish or two. Explore the trail behind the cabin (at your own risk) where the old mill race runs, all the way to the sluice gate and dam, which is also part of this enchanting property.

Cook out on the grill, picnic, or roast marshmallows on the fire pit, all creekside.

Living away from it all, you may feel like Davy Crockett, and keep in mind that you are only a few minutes away from the second oldest town in Tennessee, one of the most scenic (& best fishing) lakes around and within a short drive to Pigeon Forge and The Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

With nature abounding, history and all the attractions that the area has to offer, what could be better? But, be forewarned, you may not want to leave.

Note: The inside of the old grist mill, located on this property, is not available to the public, nor (for safety reasons) is it available for our guests to go inside.

My wife and I came to the Dandridge area in order to visit WolfPAWs (Wolf-Dog Sanctuary) for our anniversary. I chose this particular property to stay in because it was a short drive to the sanctuary and the pictures looked beautiful. It did not disappoint. The cabin was cozy. The creek with small rapids right outside and the Grist Mill dating back to the late 1700s were both very nice. We had a great time.

The cabin is perfectly located just off the highway and a short drive to everything you need but also away from the busy streets and lights. The old mill and waterfalls make for great views and the cabin is cozy and comfortable. We wished we could have stayed longer!

A very clean, cozy cabin adjacent to a circa 1798 mill building. The property has a beautiful waterfall that can be enjoyed from the front porch. A wonderful place to stay near Pigeon Forge, but a world away from the crowds.

Appsolutely beautiful property. Very clean and well maintained. It's rustic,very private and quiet. Really enjoyed our time on the porch listening to the water. Owners are wonderful at responding to any inquiries you may have. Perfect place to spend time relaxing after exploring the area, only 30 - 40 minutes from everything.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. It was nice to walk by the creek and the mill. It was so peaceful there. It felt like we were the only people around even though there was a house up the hill behind the barn. We were able to easily get around the area to the different attractions. My only disappointment was that we had to leave early because of the approaching hurricane. I would definitely go back and stay again.

We have stayed at properties from Montana to Washington, to Tennessee If you are looking for 5 star elegance, thankfully this is not that property.ButIf you want pure natural beauty, classic style and attention to detail, this is it.The cabin is immaculate inside and has new appliances and fixtures, without sacrificing its charm. De and Ron are gracious and responsive. The water and old grist mill are beautiful.The only thing that could have made this trip better was some snow, and we aren’t holding that against the host!We will be back in December of 2025.

We loved this property. It was so nice to listen to the creek in the morning or after a long day. The cabin had everything we needed. Communication with Ron and De was excellent. We would definitely book this cabin again if we are ever in the area.

Easy to get to,so peaceful. The water fall and old mill were more than expected. Sitting on the front porch and listening to the water rushing was a real joy, we saw ducks and deers and heard a bear too. It was great, my husband really loved it. Would stay there again. Thanks so much.

Great little cabin on private property, next to a small creek. I like that it's little bit out of the way of all the traffic. It was clean and we felt like we were at home. Will definitely come back in winter time.

Words wouldn't be able to accurately describe this place. The moment you turn in driveway a sense of peace, tranquility, and calmness takes over. The cabin is cozy, staying true to character but updated enough for any modern day convenience you would need. Sitting on the porch, listening to the creek, just doesnt get much better. I was here for work and the location was great for that as well as shops and the local attractions. I will definitely book again when in the area. The hosts are great! I"m not sure if there could have been anything that would have made this trip any better, well maybe being able to stay longer!

This was a lovely, quiet cabin by Dumplin creek. It has all the amenities needed for comfort, and the beds were very comfortable! It was relaxing sitting in the front porch rocking chairs listening to the water flow over the rocks. We were delighted to meet the owners to hear about the history of the mill. They have beautifully preserved the integrity of this historic site. This place was a highlight of our time in Tennessee.
