Summary:
Welcome to Hiker's Dream Lodge, a mountain escape set on 34 private acres in the heart of Cosby, Tennessee. Surrounded by sweeping Great Smoky Mountain views, this property was built for exploring by day and unwinding by night — especially with the brand-new swimming pool waiting after a long hike.
The Space:
Made up of two homes — a main cabin and a separate carriage house — the lodge offers 8 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms total, comfortably sleeping up to 24 guests. A creekside bonfire pit and plenty of outdoor space round out a property made for both adventure and rest.
Outdoor Adventures Await:
Hike more than 4 miles of private trails, including a scenic climb to the peak of Harrison's Knob for sweeping views of the Smokies. Soak in the hot tub as the mountains stretch out before you, gather around the creekside fire pit for marshmallows and stories, or fire up the gas grill for a meal with mountain views as the backdrop.
Indoor Comforts & Entertainment:
Rack up a game of pool in the spacious game room, complete with its own kitchenette. Smart TVs and high-speed internet keep everyone connected throughout the property, while the cozy living room and fully equipped kitchen with breakfast bar make it easy to gather as a group.
Accommodations:
The main cabin offers 6 bedrooms, including king and queen beds, bunk beds for the kids, and a luxurious master suite complete with a jacuzzi tub. The carriage house features a newly renovated bunk room built for both sleep and play — two custom-built queen-over-queen bunks, a 75" TV for movie nights, oversized lounge chairs, and an arcade game.

Restaurant recommendation: The Greenbrier - 35 min drive (21.1 miles)Just 10 minutes from the Cosby entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, this lodge puts hiking trails, waterfalls, and wildlife viewing right at your doorstep — with Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and other local attractions only a short drive away.
Tucked into the peaceful community of Cosby, Tennessee, the lodge offers quiet charm, scenic drives, and uncrowded trails, including the nearby Cosby Campground and Hen Wallow Falls — a welcome escape from the busier energy of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.
When you're ready to explore further, you're just a short drive from local favorites like Carver's Orchard, ziplining adventures, whitewater rafting on the Pigeon River, and the Appalachian Trail.
Whether you're a hiker, a nature lover, or simply looking to disconnect and recharge, this is the perfect place to do it.
Public transportation and rideshare options are limited in the area, so we recommend having a vehicle for convenient travel.
