Along the side of the wraparound porch is the private hot tub.

We enjoyed our stay at Sparrow’s Nest in late January 2026. The host communicated all check-in and check-out instructions well. The hot tub was lovely other than my husband started to get a rash- we suspect they may treat the tub with something other than choline (bromine maybe? -which he has a reaction to in the past). The kitchen is tiny, could use some updating (new cookware in particular), but is functional. The bedroom was colder than the rest of the cabin in spite of the heater running, but the provided extra blankets kept us warm. Overall we enjoyed a cozy few days in the snowy mountains.

This place is amazing! We got plenty of information well before arriving so we could review and be prepared. The cabin is ADORABLE. You are truly staying in someone's home away from home. It was decorated so beautifully, even with extra fall and Thanksgiving details. If I didn't live 1500 miles away, I would come back every season to see the new decorations. The owner must be a painter, or appreciate art because there were several hand painted antiques with beautiful mountain scenes, I really loved the winter scene on the hand saw over the fire place. The kitchen was perfect, 12 cup basket coffee maker (filters were there for our visit) blender, crockpot, plenty of pots and pans and dishes. I know some reviews complained about doing the dishes, but this normal in a rental and if you imagine your friend is letting you stay at thier place, you would want to treat it with the respect it deserves. The living room and couch are so comfortable I feel asleep there 3 times in two days. We had a snowy day and the cabin has plenty of cozy blankets and quilts to snuggle up in. The heat worked so fast that one or two degrees made a difference you could feel right away. Spacious bathroom for a cabin, clean and new. Sparrows Nest is clearly someone's pride and joy. Sadly, no bears visited us desite leaving several picnic baskets and a "welcome bears" greeting card out for them.If you read old reviews, you might see complaints, but every single thing had been addressed

Its a beautiful location. The hummingbird feeders were lovely as was the hottub and the bedroom. It was great to have a washer and dryer to clean towels and clothes. The kitchen is well stocked albeit small with little space to work in. Communication is difficult there as calls drop. The owner is attentive when you need him. I loved it and could have stayed much longer if I was able to. No bear sightings thank goodness.

Perfectly peaceful!

We really enjoyed our stay! We loved sitting on the porch and watching all of the animals--beaver, lightning bugs, hummingbirds and farm animals. We took our wifi box and and smart TV hoping to use our streaming subscriptions for entertainment but the weather kind of kept the signal strength to a minimum.

Great little spot

The negativesThe property was a 22mile, 40 minute drive from GatlinburgThe turn in is horribly marked (they do recommend coming at daylight & note the conditions in their emails, and GPS will try to send you into someone's driveway (they've even got a posted sign, it happens often, lol). The view is really of someone's back yard &/or a farm and theres another cabin hidden from view but not far away (we never heard or saw the occupants). While in the pics it looks like you are completely alone. The couch (pull out sleeper) wasnt comfortable for sitting. There are extra charges for not cleaning up (dishes, etc). It's a small price & small work, but felt like it rushed us around checkout - 10am. There's nothing that is unscented or hypoallergenic for washing. It definitely caused me some allergic issues. Well stocked for utensils and cooking gear, k cups are at the dollar general in Cosby - 8 minute driveQuiet, sereneBeautiful foliage (including the drive, too) The hot tub was perfectShower's great, water gets hot super fastIn summaryIts a great, clean spot for a romantic getaway (not for the kids - any age), lots of pluses and absolutely lovely. The listing could more accurately depict the setting and location. (I want to see the whole picture ...even the cute wooden bear family in the neighbors backyard) I probably would have put it at a 5 star had the listing/pics been more accurate to the whole picture.
Gorgeous hydrangeas outside!

The property itself was wonderful. No complaints. Only issue was how far away it was from happening places (our fault for not looking further into this) If you are wanting a getaway from society type of vacation, this is the place for you.

Excellent Honeymoon Getaway

Small and pleasant log cabin in a less-travelled area about 40 minutes East of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Cabin was clean and organized when we arrived. Enjoyed 7 days of silence and nature during our stay. Saw a total 6 bears (not at the cabin, just during the trip)!

An amazing couple's getaway!

This little cabin was the perfect couple's getaway! The hot tub was so relaxing. Everything was clean, and the check-in process was a breeze. The host provided ample instructions, and we felt very prepared when we arrived at the cabin. I read the reviews and the host's listing, so I was aware of the entry steps, the longer drive to get into "civilization," and the lack of provided supplies. Because I did research, these things were not issues to me. You'll find that the only "negative" reviews about this place are really just people not being prepared. If you make necessary arrangements, then you'll find that this cabin stay is everything you need. I would definitely stay here again!
