855 Chestnut Grove Circle, Dandridge, TN 37725

Pull into your own private drive on nearly an acre in Dandridge and the first thing you notice is that this is the real deal: an authentic log home with classic chinking, those clean white lines running between the logs that you only get on a genuine cabin.

The red metal roof is only about 10 years old, so you get all the character without the worry. It feels like a getaway but lives like an everyday home. Step inside and the warm Peachwood walls just wrap around you. The living room, dining room, and kitchen all open into one big space with hardwood floors underfoot, so whoever's cooking stays part of the conversation and there's room for everyone to pile in.

The kitchen gives you real counter space, a pantry, and a breakfast bar, plus a separate laundry room to keep the day-to-day tidy. All three bedrooms sit on one level, including a primary suite with its own bathroom and walk-in closet. Two full baths mean nobody's waiting around on a busy morning.

A covered front porch runs the whole width of the house, and there's a two-car garage for parking and storage. The backyard is the part you'll fall for. A big inground pool sits inside a private wood-fenced yard, there's a covered patio with a ceiling fan and stamped stone flooring made for long summer dinners, and a level lawn with a storage shed and garden beds already in.

It's the kind of spot where the kids and grandkids never want to leave, and honestly, neither will you. Here's why the location works so well. You're tucked away and quiet, but only about 2 miles from I-40, so getting anywhere is easy. Douglas Lake access is just 5 miles down the road for boating and fishing days.

Dollywood is under 30 miles for weekend fun, and East Knoxville is right at 30 miles when you need the airport, shopping, or a night out. Private, peaceful, and close to everything, that's the whole story here.
