Whispering Canyon: Your Private Mountainside Retreat!

Seconds from the Parkway. Minutes from the Peaks. Miles from the Ordinary.

Experience the quintessential Smoky Mountain getaway at Whispering Canyon, a sprawling, multi-level log home where modern luxury meets "cabin in the woods" charm. Tucked privately into a lush canyon with no neighbors in sight, you’ll enjoy total seclusion—despite being just a 3-minute drive from the heart of Gatlinburg.

Why Large Families Love Whispering Canyon:

The Ultimate Location: 3 minutes to the Parkway and Ober Mountain; 4 minutes to the National Park entrance (bypass the traffic!).
Triple-Deck Living: Three massive, full-length decks—one for every level—featuring rocking chairs, a propane firepit, and a bubbling hot tub.
Space to Breathe: With three distinct floors, the kids can dominate the lower-level game room while the adults enjoy wine and mountain breezes in the loft.
The Wild Side: We are located on an active bear trail! Watch for local black bears from the safety of the decks for an unforgettable Smoky Mountain memory.

Three Levels of Comfort & Entertainment

The Main Level (Gathering Space):
Step through the front door into an open-concept great room designed for togetherness.
Chef’s Kitchen: Fully stocked and ready for pancake breakfasts or family dinners.
Dining for 10: Plenty of room for everyone to break bread together.
Primary Suite: A King bedroom with a jetted tub, separate shower, and direct access to the main deck and BBQ grill.
The Upper Level (The Quiet Retreat):
Second King Suite: A private sanctuary with its own full bathroom and deck access.
The Loft: A cozy "getaway" spot featuring a Queen sleeper sofa, a board game table, and a reading nook. Perfect for remote work or a quiet afternoon with a book.
The Lower Level (The Ultimate Fun Zone):
This floor is built for the younger (and young at heart) members of your group.
Rec Room: A massive 65” Smart TV, sectional sofa, pool table, and arcade games.
The Bunk Suite: A clever "sleepover" room featuring a twin-over-full bunk and a full-over-full bunk, plus an attached full bathroom.
Relaxation:

Step outside to the lower deck to soak in the private hot tub.
Modern Essentials:

We know convenience is key for large groups. Whispering Canyon includes:
High-Speed Wi-Fi & 6 Smart TVs: Log into your own streaming apps from any room.
Stress-Free Access: Easy, paved roads with no steep mountain drops to navigate.
Starter Kit: We provide coffee pods, paper products, and spa-quality toiletries to get your vacation started the moment you arrive.
Ready to start your Smoky Mountain tradition? Book Whispering Canyon today!

(Note: To protect our local wildlife and your family, we strictly enforce "Bear Smart" rules: keep car doors locked, supervise children outdoors, and use provided bear-proof trash bins.)

We loved this cabin. Perfect for sharing, great location away from the tourist traps and daily bear visits! We felt safe and were prepped well on keeping our cars food-free. Definitely will return again, thanks for everything!“Thank you for giving us a good time and a nice cabin and allowing us to meet your bear friends. I miss those bears already.” -our 11 year old

Wonderful time! Fit our group of 6 perfectly. The bunk room and pool table were such a hit for the kids and a visit from a mama bear and her cubs on the surrounding hill was the perfect cap to our trip. Thank you and looking forward to the next time.

After a 10 hour road trip, the host let us in 1 hour early and with 4 kids that’s HUGE! Then the house was absolutely amazing, 3 floors of wood, amazing master, awesome decks, push button fire placed used every morning with coffee, arcade games, hiking right off property, and close to two stores for snacks and drinks. I’m totally coming back, and renting THIS PLACE!Also saw 3 bears our last evening and it made it all magical. Thanks Rob and ErinTroy

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!
