This beautiful cabin at 2752 Murray Ridge Rd in Sevierville is a perfect representation of life in the Smoky Mountains featuring the natural charm of a handmade log house combined with the delightful warm retreat atmosphere that is made for relaxing and unwinding.
It is a 1,536 sq. ft. 2 bedroom, 2 bath home built in 2007 on a 0.27-acre lot, and the layout of the place is like an open mountain stream which is surrounded by the woods captured through the wraparound porch and is the Smoky Mountain nature is reflected in each and every detail of this cabin.
What the cabin manages to pull off is being a rather large yet very cozy and intimate place with the veins of the wood coming alive in the light of the fire, the mountain air making its way through the screened windows on a summer night and each and every corner is infused with a sense of belonging and being at one with nature. Essentially, this doesn’t seem to be a place that simply provides shelter but rather, it is a space that supports and comforts you, thus, giving you the very quiet kind of luxury of the Smokies, where the sound of the wind in the pines is the music of the mornings and the lit gas fireplace is the radiance of the evenings.
The home facade is surely an eye feast in terms of natural concord, with the logs going up in mellow, tawn layers catching the sunlight coming through the trees, the ravaged finish of the wood making the shadows flicker and dance all over it just in the way the light does on the rivers that are in the vicinity.
The wraparound porch that is both roomy and welcoming surrounds the front and the sides of the house, its strong railings and wide boards providing a nice lookout for seeing the mist rising from the valleys or the leaves turning in the fall, the place being big enough for a hammock to sway in the wind or a table to be set for al fresco dinners under the stars.
In order to get rid of the mountains frequent rains and snows the roof is steeply angled and covered with long-lasting shingles that will get old but still look good. On the other hand, theside lighted carport is there as a neat little touch of practicality with the beam giving off a soft light on the driveway when you return from a hiking day at the trail. The 0.27-acre sloped lot is very much in tune with the surroundings and seems like a private getaway with the cabin being just right for catching the wind from the ridge and the woods serving as a natural screen that provides not only privacy but also that indescribable feeling of being one with the vastness of the Smoky Mountains. The exterior is a great deal accomplished through the logs’ patina and the porch serving as a bridge to the inner peacefulness; thus, the cabin is the very embodiment of Tennessee’s high country beauty.
The open plan of the house is an example of how beautifully the space can be let loose, the great room being the center of the house with its high ceilings stretching up beyond, the wooden rafters giving a little bit of a tough rustic look to the room, and the hardwood floorings doing the opposite by their rich, earth colors.
Evenings are going to be mostly held beside the gas fireplace whose sophisticated stone framing makes it a sight to remember, while the fires that flash and fade over the room will be the ones that bring coziness and heat. A pool table and a game table are featured in the attic, which is an open recreation area and, thus, a nice surprise. With all the noise coming from the balls and the merriment of the family, the railings that you look down from to the main floor give you a feeling of being together yet at your own privacy.
Kitchens breakfast bar, a granite counter top, and bar chairs… All these features make for a perfect morning coffee or quick snack spot. The open plan is a way of letting the cooking in a modern kitchen be part of the gathering and not apart from it, thus, it is fully equipped with dishes, utensils, and ample counter space.
Both the bedrooms are made wonderful for sleeping and coming back to oneself. They are like separate sanctuaries of the cabin inside its warm fold. The primary bedroom that is on the main level is like a quiet retreat featuring a king bed loaded up with mountain-style quilts, a walk-in wardrobe for clothes and gear, and a bathroom that is en-suite with a jetted tub, separate shower and tiled floors that are always cool.
The second bedroom that is a loft features two single beds and a full bath. It’s also cozy because of the slanted ceiling and, therefore, new fixtures guarantee comfort. The room is sizable enough for a chest of drawers and a night table and the layout is perfect for guests or kids who are fond of a loft-like hideout.
The cabin accomplished this through simple means: logs’ patina, porch being a bridge to the calm inside, a cottage that is a silent memorial to the beauty of Tennessee’s high country. Simple touches of the cabin such as the newly installed water heater for endless steam, the newly created linen closet filled with fluffy towels, and the new washer/dryer for keeping things fresh make the stay feel like one of high class where the beauty lies in the balance of rustic soul and modern ease, the open recreation area with its pool table a place for games and the lighted carport a practical hub for arriving home.
The wraparound porch benefits great outdoors connection where the deck’s fire pit is in use when the sky is full of stars and the picnic area in the front yard is inviting for take-it-easy lunches with the mountains being your backdrop.
The 0.27-acre lot is a haven in terms of privacy with just a bit of wilderness that is enough to make you feel alive, the woods that are adjacent to the property providing trails for early walks and evenings strolls and the carport that is lighted ensuring that you get home safely after dark.
With a breakfast bar and a spacious primary suite, an open floor plan provides layers of discovery—the loft a bird’s-eye view, the recreation area a lively hub, the deck a bridge to the wild. The cabin is one where the interiors’ rustic luxury like log walls, stone accents, warm lighting, etc. is in harmony with the exteriors’ natural embrace, a place that is equally beautiful in its solitude as well as in its shared joy, and the mountain views from every window are the reminder that you are not only living in the cabin but you are living with nature.
