Property Description

Step into history with this truly one-of-a-kind, authentic log cabin originally built in the early 1800s and thoughtfully relocated to its serene setting along Cricket Creek in Cosby. Constructed from hand-hewn, hand-sewn logs, this is a rare opportunity to own a ''true'' log cabin--rich in character and craftsmanship, unlike modern builds. Expanded with custom additions in the late 1990s and recently remodeled again in 2025, the home seamlessly blends historic charm with modern comfort. Recent updates include new plumbing (PEX) with all new fixtures, updated electrical with new fixtures throughout, a recent roof, and decking--offering peace of mind while preserving the home's timeless character. Offering 3 spacious en-suite bedrooms plus additional sleeping space, 3 full baths and a half bath, the property comfortably sleeps up to 8 and is currently established on a rental program. The original cabin showcases four rooms built from centuries-old timbers, while newer additions feature cathedral ceilings, expansive windows with wooded views, and thoughtful design throughout. Relax on the classic front porch with rocking chairs or enjoy the peaceful sounds of the seasonal stream from the back porch, all set on approximately two acres of wooded privacy. Ideally located with easy access to Cosby hiking trails, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and nearby Gatlinburg attractions, this property offers both convenience and a true mountain escape. Adding to its legacy, the home was once owned by renowned artist Mary Todd Beam, further enhancing its historical and cultural significance. Additional highlights include a shared well, HVAC replacement (July 2022), and an effective year built of 1984 due to updates and reconstruction. Whether you're seeking a distinctive short-term rental investment or a private mountain retreat, this extraordinary cabin delivers unmatched authenticity, history, and charm.
