With breathtaking views, endless activities, and a small-town spirit, it’s easy to fall in love with this place.
“Gatlingburg is one of our favorite places to visit, and this property felt like home while we visited. James was such a great host and was flexible with our check-in. The views were beautiful and a great place to relax after a long day of hiking. Being within walking distance of downtown was amazing as well. We would love to stay here when we visit again!”

The Heart Behind the Home
Ellie’s Cabin: Built with Love, Kept with Gratitude
This cabin carries a story of resilience and heart. Originally owned by Rhett and Robbie, the home survived a devastating fire and was lovingly rebuilt. Their daughter Ellie, who dreamed of running the cabin herself, gave it its name before tragically passing away. Today, owner James continues their legacy.
He bought the home not just for its charm, but because of the love poured into it. James honors Ellie’s vision and remains grateful for the friendship and guidance of Rhett and Robbie, who remain close and supportive. Every guest who stays here becomes part of this story—a legacy of warmth, memory, and connection.
