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.

A little slice of heaven

We had a wonderful visit. The cabin is very clean and comfortable. The setting is all we had hoped for. In fact, it's so lovely you almost don't want to go anywhere else. The first morning we had a lovely surprise of seeing a ground hog on the steps outside the mill. We would definitely stay here again and will tell others about it.

Lovely private stay

Such a lovely old cabin. Everything was clean, comfy, and secluded yet close. The property was beautiful from the old mill, the cabin itself, and waterfalls. I explored up to the dam in search of otters, but no luck. Darn. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

The property is beautiful and the waterfall is a dream! I loved sitting on the porch just listening to the water. The cabin is well made with nice decor and finishings. Owners are nice and very attentive. I definitely want to stay again! The only thing I would add is it needs a little more lighting, especially in the kitchen. And a hot tub would make it perfect! But, I don’t have to have those last items to stay. Thank you for the opportunity to share this property and to make great memories. It’s been a hard year and this is just what I needed!!

Exactly what we were looking for

From the moment we turned in the drive and saw the mill and waterfall we knew we would enjoy our stay. It feels like you’re in the middle of no where yet you’re right off the road and interstate is only 2 miles away. With the sound from the waterfalls you don’t hear any noises around you. We spent all our time by the creek relaxing. Even caught a few small rainbow trout and Crawdads. The cabin had everything we needed. We plan on returning another time.

Amazingly Peaceful weekend getaway

My husband and I decided to book this property (on a whim) for the peaceful waterfall and cozy cabin feel. This property did not disappoint! It was the best weekend we have had in a while. This is a wonderful weekend getaway. Sit in the rocking chairs with your feet up and just relax with the sounds of the water rushing over the rocks.Recommend 100%!!!

Peaceful Cabin Set in Nature's Beauty

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.

Anniversary Trip

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.
