Public Remarks: Retirement? Rental? Second home? Both? A rare opportunity has come along in the gated community of Laurel Valley that fits the bill for all your cabin needs. This beautifully maintained log cabin is tucked into the Smoky Mountain foothills on .63 acres of wooded privacy. It borders the Laurel Valley golf course and offers the perfect balance of tranquility, convenience, and income potential. With an established history of 71 ''exceptional'' reviews, this cabin shines as both a proven investment and mountain retreat, ideal for a short-term rental (marketed to sleep 5), second home, or full-time residence for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of life. One of the many highlights unique to this property are the screened in porches - with a wraparound deck on three sides of the home, there is a screened-in front porch and a private screened-in back porch off the primary suite (perfect for quiet mornings or relaxing evenings surrounded by nature ... just open the door and take the best nap of your life!). Inside, the cabin delivers classic Smoky Mountain character with rich wood finishes, an open living area, and expansive windows that invite natural light throughout. The home features a full kitchen, oversized washer and dryer, a spacious loft with its own full bathroom, and a main-level bath with a jetted soaking tub (a special favorite for those who run the Cades Cove Loop Lope in November or after a vigorous hike). A newly tiled walk-in shower adds a modern touch, and all furnishings and art convey, making this a truly turn-key property ready for immediate use or rental. This cabin is located just minutes from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Cades Cove, and the Little River. While it feels like a peaceful escape, the property is also easily commutable to Maryville and Knoxville. The Laurel Valley community offers access to the scenic Wild Laurel 18-hole golf course, along with a swimming pool and fitness center. Whether you're looking to continue a successful short-term rental from day one or create your own private Smoky Mountain haven, this cabin offers location, charm, and versatility in one exceptional setting.
