The story
BUILT TO BOOK! WATERFRONT, FULLY FURNISHED TURNKEY STR + LOG CABIN LODGE IN PIGEON FORGE | 8 BR / 8 BA | SLEEPS 18 Bring the whole crew (and their cousins). Creek Bend Lodge is a 3,828 sq ft log lodge on the banks of Caney Creek, sleeping up to 18 and selling fully furnished and turnkey, down to the last throw pillow. Big-group cabins on the water in Pigeon Forge are about as rare as a quiet Saturday on the Parkway, and this one has the receipts to back it: years of booking history, including over $220,000 in gross rental income in 2024. THE OPPORTUNITY: Weddings, reunions, retreats, birthdays, and multi-family getaways seek out this exact configuration and pay premium rates for it. Close, hand over the keys, and keep the calendar full. THE PROPERTY: Every cabin in the Smokies sells a view. Creek Bend Lodge sells the soundtrack, too. This creekside lodge pairs the quiet luxury of life on the water with one of the most coveted addresses in the Smokies, ready to welcome its next 18 guests on repeat. The Living Spaces: An open floor plan flows from a kitchen worthy of royalty, with stainless steel appliances, to a dining space generous enough for the entire group. Fireplace and deep leather seating set the tone for long evenings, while the game room, with a big screen TV, pool table, plus a sitting area with ping pong, keeps the friendly competition going well past dessert. The Floorplan: This is where the lodge truly distinguishes itself, with the bedroom math everybody loves: 8 spacious bedrooms, 8 full baths, and a whirlpool tub in every one. Multiple primary suites, including two on the main level, mean no one draws the short straw. Main-level bedrooms open directly to the deck, the hot tub, and the creek beyond, and a bunk room gives the youngest guests a hideaway of their own. Outdoor Living: The main-level deck overlooks the water, the hot tub sits on a screened porch above it, and the back deck steps down to a creekside picnic table, grill, and fire pit. Mornings come with coffee and the steady rush of Caney Creek below; evenings belong to the hot tub, the fire, and dinner by the water. It's the kind of setting guests photograph, share, and rebook. WHERE THE MONEY IS: The Great Smoky Mountains dominate. Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited national park in the United States, drawing roughly 11.5 million recreation visits in 2025, more than Zion and Yellowstone combined. That traffic is at your door. Guests don't just book a cabin; they book the soundtrack. Creek front settings command premium nightly rates, and that advantage converts straight to occupancy and booking power. THE LOCATION: Simply perfect, just off the Spur between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The Pigeon Forge Parkway's dining, shopping, and entertainment are about 4 minutes away, and The Island is just 10. Under 15 minutes in one direction lands you at Dollywood and Dolly Parton's hometown of Sevierville; under 10 minutes in the other brings you to downtown Gatlinburg's shops, attractions, and the gateway to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Best of all, the level 0.62-acre lot has paved parking and no steep mountain roads, a major booking advantage for big groups and year-round access. THE BOTTOM LINE: This is not a typical cabin listing. It's a proven, creek front, 18-guest income property in the heart of the Smokies, and everything conveys: furniture, artwork, appliances, and décor.
