Rare opportunity to own an authentic early-1800s hand-hewn log cabin on nearly 2 private wooded acres along Cricket Creek in Cosby. Rich in Appalachian history and craftsmanship, this one-of-a-kind property blends true historic character with modern updates, creating a property unlike anything else on the market.
Originally built in the early 1800s and thoughtfully relocated to its peaceful creekside setting, the home features original hand-hewn logs, four preserved historic rooms, and custom additions completed in the late 1990s. A 2025 remodel brought major improvements including new PEX plumbing, updated electrical, new fixtures, recent roof improvements, and updated decking--offering modern comfort while preserving its original soul.
The cabin offers 3 spacious en-suite bedrooms, 3 full baths, 1 half bath, plus additional sleeping space, comfortably accommodating up to 8 guests. Currently established on a rental program, this property presents an excellent opportunity as a short-term rental investment, second home, or private mountain retreat.
Inside, you'll find a remarkable blend of old and new--centuries-old timber construction paired with soaring cathedral ceilings, expansive windows, and peaceful wooded views. Outside, enjoy rocking chairs on the classic front porch or relax on the back porch overlooking the seasonal creek and surrounding woods.
Adding to its unique legacy, the home was once owned by renowned artist Mary Todd Beam. Ideally located near the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, with quick access to hiking, fishing, rafting, and tubing, this property offers the perfect balance of seclusion and adventure. Conveniently positioned between Newport and Gatlinburg, you're just a short drive to restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and all the attractions of Pigeon Forge and Sevierville while still enjoying the peace and privacy of mountain living.
