Tucked into the rolling hills of Eastern Tennessee, this cabin is the kind of place that speaks in a whisper. No frills, no noise — just wood, stone, and the steady hum of wind through the trees. It rests on stils and spiral staircase, backed by forest and looking out over a wide stretch of untouched land, where deer pass quietly in the morning and the sunset seems to hang in the sky a little longer.
The charm here isn’t in square footage or luxury finishes. It’s in the “treehouse-esque” positioning, the way the windows catch the late-day sun, and the deep porch that practically begs for a rocking chair and a glass of sweet tea. You don’t visit this kind of home to be impressed, you visit to exhale.
Inside, the story continues. The owners chose reclaimed wood for much of the build, sourcing it from an old barn a few counties over. The result is a lived-in feeling that no amount of design can fake. The floorboards creak just slightly, in that reassuring way that tells you time has passed here. The kitchen is open and simple, with exposed shelving and a farmhouse sink. There’s no TV in sight, only books, board games, and a few handmade pieces passed down through generations.
Like many cabins in this part of Tennessee, the home was designed with intention, not excess. It’s built for quiet mornings with coffee and long nights with good conversation. The wood-burning stove is the centerpiece in winter, while the porch takes over in summer, watching the storms roll through or fireflies blink to life.
What we love about Tennessee cabins is how well they balance beauty and humility. They’re not there to dazzle, they’re there to welcome you in. To wrap you up. And this cabin does that perfectly. From the way the gravel crunches under your tires when you arrive, to the scent of cedar and the glow of lamplight at night, it becomes a place you remember long after you leave.
At Over Home Cabins, we seek out homes like this one, quiet spaces filled with honest work and strong bones. The kind that feel like they’ve always been there, even when they’re newly built. Theres something special about the architecture of the South, not just in the materials, but in the spirit. This home captures that spirit in every detail.
We’ll be sharing more cabins like this across Tennessee and beyond. Each one has a story, not just of how it was built, but why. Who shaped it. What moments it holds.
Whether you’re here for inspiration or just the warm comfort of good design, we’re glad you’re along for the ride.
