A Cobbly Nob Cabin Built for Slow Mornings and Long Evenings

Cobbly Nob sits east of Gatlinburg along Highway 321, close enough that downtown is about twenty minutes away, and far enough that the loudest thing at night is the creek and the wind in the trees. It's a gated mountain community wrapped around the fairways of Bent Creek Golf Course, and it's where we chose to make The Smoky Edit our family's home away from home.

If you've been searching for a Gatlinburg cabin without the Parkway traffic outside your window, this is the side of the mountains we'd point you toward.

Why Cobbly Nob

It's gated. Guests come and go through the community gate, which keeps the roads quiet and the pace unhurried.

It's got its own amenities. Cobbly Nob guests have access to community pools (seasonal), tennis courts, pickleball, and a basketball court, so there's something to do even on a day you never leave the neighborhood.

It's next door to the national park's quiet entrance. The Greenbrier entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park is about ten minutes away. The road winds along the Little Pigeon River to some of the best hiking in the Smokies, with a fraction of the crowds you'll find at Sugarlands.

It's close to the good stuff without being in it. The Gatlinburg Arts & Crafts Community is about ten minutes away. Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, and whitewater rafting are each about twenty-five.

Drive Times from The Smoky Edit

The Cabin

The Smoky Edit is a three-level log cabin, about 2,800 square feet, renovated top to bottom in 2026. Three bedrooms, three baths, five beds, sleeping eight.

• Three decks, three views. Main floor, loft, and lower level, each with its own look at the Smokies.
• Two fire pits. One off the loft deck facing open ridgeline views, one on the lower deck tucked beneath the tree canopy.
• A private hot tub on the lower deck, steps from the game room's French doors.
• A game room with an 85" TV, Nintendo Switch 2, bean bag seating, and a full pool table.
• A primary suite that feels like a boutique hotel, with a sitting area, a desk set into a picture window, and a spa-style bath with a walk-in shower.
• A loft with hanging swings, a coffee bar, and a view toward Mt. LeConte.
