Waldens Creek Cabin Rentals

Walden's Creek is a rural valley west of Pigeon Forge, reached by Waldens Creek Road off Wears Valley Road. Farmland, wooded hillsides and the creek itself give it a country feel, while Pigeon Forge and Wears Valley stay within easy reach.

Why stay in Walden's Creek

Country quiet near town

Waldens Creek Road leaves the traffic behind almost as soon as you turn off Wears Valley Road. Cabins here trade Parkway lights for open fields and wooded ridges, and evenings are peaceful.

Between Pigeon Forge and Wears Valley

You can spend the morning on the Parkway and the afternoon in Wears Valley, or head on toward the national park's quieter western side.

Room to spread out

The valley is less crowded than the resorts closer to town, so cabins tend to feel more private, with mountain views from many of the decks.

What's nearby

Back toward town, Wear Farm City Park, Dollywood and The Island in Pigeon Forge are an easy drive. Through Wears Valley, you'll reach Metcalf Bottoms and the scenic route toward Cades Cove.

Tips for your stay

Stock up in town

Grocery stores are back in Pigeon Forge, so pick up supplies before you head out Wears Valley Road.

Watch for farm traffic and wildlife

Waldens Creek Road is a two-lane country road. Watch for tractors, deer and turkeys, especially early and late in the day.

Follow your cabin directions

Side roads off Waldens Creek can be steep and winding, and GPS doesn't always choose the best route. Use the directions we send with your arrival details.

Give bears space

Black bears live throughout the Smokies. Keep your distance, never feed them, and keep trash secured.
