About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Iris: Secluded Nordic style tiny home

Nestled among pines and cedars. The charm of camping but with wifi and a walk-in shower.

17 min to Market Square
18 min to The University of Tennessee
22 min to Sevierville
10 min to Seven Islands State Birding Park with French Broad River access
<1 hr to Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrances

Conveniently positioned between Knoxville and the Smokies. You can spend the day in GSMNP, have dinner in Knoxville, then return to your secluded country retreat to wind down by the fire.

The Iris is cozy but is a tiny house with tiny house limitations. Storage is limited, so please keep this in mind when preparing for your stay.

The bed is located in a tight loft with little head room. Guests must be comfortable with and capable of climbing a ladder.

Guests planning to cook their own meals will find a kitchenette that includes a microwave and stovetop, as well as an outdoor grill. Cookware is provided but charcoal is not. Please bring your own if you plan to grill.

Fire pit is available for use when there are no burn bans in effect. Firewood can be purchased from local vendors.

Outdoor shower is available mid-spring through the summer, when temperatures stay above freezing.

Youtube TV is provided and includes most basic channels. Guests may log in to their own accounts on additional apps (e.g., Netflix, Hulu, etc.)

Cell service can be spotty, depending on your carrier. Enabling wifi calling on your phone is recommended.
