About This Home

GATED MOUNTAIN LIVING AT ITS FINEST! OFFERED FULLY FURNISHED! This exceptional log cabin is ideally located just 10 minutes from Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and the charming destinations of Townsend, Wears Valley, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg. Nestled on 19+ private acres just below the Foothills Parkway and within the gated enclave of Fawn Hollow, this property offers both seclusion, views, and convenience. Set on pristine, level and rolling land, the home is framed by a flat, usable front yard and a creek that winds gracefully through the property, creating a serene, peaceful setting.
