Tiny Owl Cabin – Tranquil Forest Retreat with Hot Tub and Creekside Setting

Welcome to the Tiny Owl Cabin, a charming forest hideaway nestled in Newport, Tennessee. Just a 35-40 minute drive from Gatlinburg and the breathtaking Great Smoky Mountains, this cozy cabin offers a unique getaway.

Part of a new wave of unique stays across the United States, the Tiny Owl Cabin is a compact space, under 180 square feet, that provides a cozy and primitive experience with modern comforts. Perched among the trees and overlooking a mountain stream nestled near the Cherokee National Forest, it’s the perfect escape for couples or solo travelers seeking a peaceful getaway.

The cabin comfortably sleeps two guests with a full-size loft bed. A sitting area and a small dining table accommodate two people. A fully equipped kitchen with a sink, mini fridge, stovetop, and ample storage ensures that you can prepare meals during your stay. A spacious bathroom with a stand-up shower and a TV/DVD player provides relaxation after a day of exploring.

Step outside and you’ll find a private gazebo with seating, perfect for enjoying the soothing sounds of the stream. A water feature and a pond area add an extra touch of tranquility to the outdoor space.

The cabin boasts a private hot tub, just steps away from the cabin, tucked away in the forest. Relax in your own private hot tub, surrounded by nature, listening to the flowing stream and unwinding after a day of exploring the Smokies.

The Tiny Owl Cabin seamlessly blends the beauty of the outdoors with the comforts of home, making it the ideal base for exploring the Smoky Mountains, hiking trails, and charming nearby towns.

This is truly a tiny cabin, and we loved it! We got in later than expected, which means that we didnt get to enjoy the hot tub or the peaceful creek right out the door but it was perfect and i would love to return! I do recommend a vehicle with 4 wheel or awd, as there is unpaved access to the property, with some steep hills. I absolutely loved this stay, and highly recommend this to anyone who is in the area Communication with the host was not only easy, but they accommodated my change of plans and were beyond helpful.

Once you get there, good luck getting out

Don't recommend! They take you down a hill that's almost impossible to get back up with no heads up or anything. Usually if that's an issue the host will say there's a steep drive or you need 4 wheel drive so you can be prepared but there was no warning. The picture of the loft is deceiving, they definitely made it look bigger than actual size by pushing the mattress to one side and making the extra space on the side. The outside was the best part and the hot tub was great but once inside we got ate up by bugs and covered in spider bites. Not to mention it stank in there so badly we had to go buy spray and a candle. The toilet or something leaked all over the floor. So when you climbed down from the loft, your feet got wet. It was the worst VRBO I've ever rented and they advertised as a couples getaway but you have neighbors breathing down your necks with their dogs running around everywhere and the stray cats were constantly following us around begging for food. It left a lot to be desired...

I missed out

I’m sure the property is really great, but we booked the trip last minute and had rental car issues that made us miss out on our trip, which was non refundable. We do look for to coming there one day, hate we missed it, really needed it too.

Best Mini Vacation Getaway

I had such a great time getting away at the Tiny Owl Cabin! The Stuetz Team went above and beyond from beginning to end. The communication and amenities were perfection. The beautiful scenery of the wooded mountains, the hot tub, and relaxing sitting area by the pond and creek were enough for me to not need to go anywhere during my stay. However, I did leave a couple times. One being to get a wonderful massage from thwir professional Therapist Peggy. Leaving feeling truly blessed by this overall experience. Thank you Tammy, Sam, and Peggy! Hoping to meet again when I come back :)

Cozy, cute getaway

I was looking for a small place to stay for 2 nights and this tiny cabin was ideal. I patricularly enjoyed the hot tub and location as I wasn't interested in staying near a crowded area. Enjoyed the nearby trails. It was an easy 40-45 min drive to the Gatlinburg area to explore downtown and other attractions in the Smokies.

Inconvenience and disappointing stay

There were numerous inconveniences during our stay at Get Further Away. Upon our arrival, our cabin had several issues. These are a lack of hot water, a stove that was not working, and an air conditioner that showed an error message and also would not work. The tenant on the premises was helpful and the host suggested that we could switch to a different cabin as we just wanted to rest and enjoy our getaway. We moved cabins for the night and all was well. The following morning, we were told that that cabin was booked and we’d have to move back to our original cabin. I understand that people book cabins, but I wish that this was told to us upfront so that we didn’t fully unpack and get settled in. This resulted in us having to unpack and pack three times which took a decent chunk out of the morning both days. With that being said, we packed up our belongings and headed back to our initial cabin. We planned to spend the day in Gatlinburg, which was pushed back due to my car not being able to make it up the gravel road, and getting stuck multiple times. It took about an hour of trying to get up before deciding to take my boyfriend’s car, forcing us to pay for an extra tank of gas as we planned on using the other car which had a full tank. When we arrived home later that afternoon, we noticed a strong sewage smell in our cabin. Unfortunately, this didn’t go away for the remainder of our stay and was still prominent when we checked out. We would like a partial or full refund.

Perfect for a romantic getaway

My husband and I came down to stay for a few days to celebrate our honeymoon, and had the best time. We were looking for a cabin near the Smokies that was affordable, and this was perfect for just the two of us. The cabin had everything we needed, and the hot tub and campfire area were wonderful. I would definitely come down and stay here again!

Romantic and Charming

My wife and i stayed here for 3 nights and it was just what we were looking for. This small cabin was exactly as described, set back in the mountains with lots of shade and a small creek running through the property. Gravel road with steep incline leads to the property, 4 wheel drive is recommended. We enjoyed our own private hot tub and fire pit while listening to the sounds of nature each evening. Tammy was friendly, responsive and accomodating. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, utensils, pots, pans, cutting board, hand towels and wash cloths. No oven or microwave, but stove top was efficient and mini fridge worked well. Sleep loft was tight, with little room to sit up in the bed. We did notice a slight sewage smell coming from the toilet- was easily remedied by running the flusher for at least 20 seconds each flush and we kept the bathroom window open and bathroom door closed. Small air conditioning unit kept cabin cool, but we also brought a box fan to run at night to keep the air moving in the sleep loft. Overall, we highly recommend the Tiny Owl Cabin for a true Smoky Mountain experience.

Unpleasant

Upon arrival it was evident that a truck would’ve been needed for an experience like this. After we made it to through the gate I assume there was so clear verbiage or signage on where to go. Once we made it in it was clear there was limited air conditioning which was the our main cause of leaving after running the a/c for 2hours with all windows closed after previously being opened we decided to see if we could take a nap and wait for it to cool off and that never happened amongst that, there was no privacy not in the main living space nor outside. So with all that being said out check in was at 4:00pm and we went home due to the heat being insufferable we ended up packing up and going at 7:00pm and made it back to Chattanooga at 11:01 pm. This was supposed to be a birthday trip to which we saved for but it just turned out being a bad experience. I just wanted to share my experience with whom ever. Thanks for understanding.
