Log Cabin w/ Picturesque Mtn View. Private Sunsets. Hot Tub. Kid & Dog Friendly

This is a picturesque log cabin that sits high atop Renegade Mountain on the Cumberland Plateau in Eastern Tennessee. Seek refuge in this cozy, secluded, romantic, and well equipped 2 Bedroom plus loft log cabin located in Crab Orchard, Tennessee. Renegade Mountain is a private community located approximately 1 hour West of Knoxville, 2 hours East of Nashville, and 1.5 hours North of Chattanooga. The cabin is at 2650 feet altitude. We are centrally located for many major vacation destinations in the Southeast. Located just 5 miles off of I-40, you are only minutes away from Crossville, Fairfield Glade, Catoosa Wildlife Preserve, Lake Tansi, Cumberland Mountain State Park, Bear Trace, state parks, wineries, and antique shops (127 Yard sale in August of 50+ miles) and specialty stores in the Crossville area. Walking trails abound just outside our front and back doors. Bring your fishing poles and head to Cumberland Mountain Park. The lake is full of Bass, Bluegill, and Catfish. In the winter, they stock the lake with Trout. See TNWildlife.org for licensing. There are 20 waterfalls within a two hour drive of the cabin. Ozone Falls is less than five miles away. It is also a great swimming hole. There are more than 10 great public golf courses. Crossville is the "Golf Capital of Tennessee". Check out Fairfield Glade and Lake Tansi for more info on golf. We highly recommend the spectacular views from Mt. Roosevelt Overlook (right off of HWY 70) and Black mountain. Black Mountain overlooks are a short, easy hike. Pigeon Forge and Dollywood are 1 1/2 hours away. There are plenty of off-road motorsport trails. Don't forget your camera, there are lots of opportunities for landscape and wildlife photography. Flatrock Motorsports Park is open in Westel but club members only for now. The park will hold world-class races, music festivals, along with a winery and brewery. This track is only 11 miles from the cabin. Check out Flatrock Motorsport on Facebook for progress. The Tail of the Dragon (318 curves in 11 miles) is 2 hrs from the cabin.

Our 2 bedroom, 2 bath cabin with loft sleeps 6. Plus there is a pack-n-play for a toddler or infant. It has a well furnished kitchen with a gas stove, dishwasher, microwave, a kitchen bar for dining (no formal dinning table), and a cozy and comfortable den with a seasonal gas log fireplace (avail. Sept. 15th - May 15th), and 50' flat screen TV. There's also a flat screen TV for each of the bedrooms and loft. Bedroom windows provide beautiful mountain views. The master bedroom has a queen bed on the main floor with an enjoying full bath. A second bedroom with a king bed is upstairs. There is a full bath on the second floor. The open loft area overlooking the den can sleep 2 additional guests on a daybed with trundle. A jogger stroller and infant seat with tray are also available on premises.

The private and shaded rear porch runs the full width of the house and faces West with a magnificent view of neighboring Black Mountain during every season of the year (excepting the occasional foggy day). The very private 6 person hot tub (no children allowed in hot tub) is off the back porch and provides the same view. Nothing like watching the sun set behind the neighboring mountain or therapy under the stars from the comfort of the hot tub. Enjoy rocking, reading, resting, watching wildlife, listening to the blue birds at sunrise and whippoorwills after sunset. You can also swing in one of the old lift chairs from the former Renegade Mountain Ski Resort as you take in the magnificent view. At night you can roast marshmallows and make Smore's around the fire pit. There are horseshoes and cornhole games for the competitive types. This is truly a four season getaway. There are plenty of outdoor activities during warm weather months, but cool Autumn days can be breath taking during the changing of the foliage. One can also spend snowy winter days by the fireplace with loved ones creating memories. Puzzles and games are available for those rainy or snowed-in days.

There is a full size washing machine and dryer, iron, and ironing board. The cabin has central heat and cooling, so you will always be comfortable. AC is rarely needed, since summertime temperatures on the top of Renegade Mountain are generally at least 10 degrees cooler than in Nashville, Knoxville, or Chattanooga, and the humidity is also much lower. Use Crossville for your weather location, not Rockwood.

There is high speed internet, a computer, and multi-function printer, TV's have a separate DVD player. Wi-Fi calling is preferable as cell phone service is spotty, especially AT&T. The computer has over 8000 songs cataloged in i-Tunes play lists for your enjoyment. Genres include classical, pop, instrumental, 50's, 60's. 70's - 90's and country.

The doors have Keypad locks, so check-in is easy. You may arrive and enter regardless of the hour after 4:00 PM Central ST. Checkout time is 11:00 AM CST. There are two steps from the parking area to the porch and one step from the porch into the cabin. There is one step down from the cabin to the rear porch and six steps down from the rear porch to the ground. The cabin is NOT considered handicap accessible. If this is a problem for your stay, please cancel as soon as possible without penalty.
This is a non-smoking cabin, this includes no burning candles (except birthday candles), incense or sage inside. Vaping, cigarettes, and cigars outside only please. NO Marijuana or drug use on property. There is a can with sand on the back porch for the butts. DO NOT throw cigarette butts into the woods. We also most lost the cabin to a forest fire in the fall of '23.

We DO have a $45 pet fee that is to be paid at the time of booking. An unregistered dog is a $100 fee. If you have trouble with the pet fee during booking please let us know.
