The McCarty House

Rarely is a home of historic architectural significance available for use as a vacation rental in most any destination, and that is particularly true in Gatlinburg and Pittman Center. Designed by Bruce McCarty, well known for many public and private buildings in Knoxville, Tennessee, this gem of a home displays his passion for integrating modern design with natural landscape. Using local materials, the home appears to be sculpted from the site using stone, wood and glass.

This is a space of peace, tranquility and timeless beauty that captures the mid-century modern esthetic in an organic, livable form!

✨ PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS ✨

Built over 60 years ago, it exudes this era of design with unique charm and personality. The home has been thoughtfully restored through an extensive renovation that carefully integrates modern updates while respecting the architect's vision.

The kitchen is equipped with extremely high standards including everything you need for cooking and entertaining. New ceramic dishes, beautiful glassware, and high-end small appliances are housed within the expertly restored original cabinets. Modern lighting has been added, as well as honed granite counter tops. New cork flooring and large appliances finish it off. The newly added kitchen bar is crafted from repurposed chestnut lumber salvaged from Knoxville's oldest standing home.

A two-person walk-in tile shower has been added in the thoroughly updated lower bath. Its design is inspired by the Great Smoky Mountains woodland oasis known as "Midnight Hole,” named for its deep blue-green water.

We’ve added a covered stone patio out front for lounging and as a stylish platform for the new 4-person hot tub spa. The cozy den furnishings paired with a high definition 65" TV make a perfect place to watch sporting events and movies with family and friends. High speed internet allows easy streaming of your favorite shows. The original handcrafted wood-burning fireplace proudly anchors the living room, which has been furnished for comfortable group gatherings.

Upstairs you'll find two bedrooms, a full bath, and sleeping loft. Each bedroom has a private balcony with rocking chairs, dresser, closet, cloud-like bamboo memory foam king mattresses, and as in the rest of the home, they're furnished with period or reproduction MCM pieces. The loft is appointed with a twin sized day bed, desk, dresser, and closet. It's perfect for remote working or for an extra sleeping space.

The McCarty House was originally designed by Bruce McCarty for his mother, Mrs. E.H. McCarty, as their family summer home. It is still used for that purpose today by our family. We love and enjoy it as our cherished retreat. It is our honor to share it with you! Guests will have unlimited access to the host before, during, and after their stay.

Each guest will have full access to the entire property

I plan to interact with the guests to ensure they have a five star stay!

The location is arguably the best in Gatlinburg. It's in the heart of the Arts & Crafts district and close to quaint dining and authentic art galleries. It's only 1 mile to the Great Smoky Mountain Greenbrier Cove entrance, known for the epic wildflowers of Porter's Creek trail, magnificent Ramsey Cascades waterfall, and the majestic Middle Prong of the Little Pigeon River.
