The host was most receptive and quick to answer all the questions I had. The cabin is right on the river with the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad track straight across. It's peaceful and scenic. The cabin is small and warm. I felt welcomed and hope to visit again!

Everything about this place was great. Rooms are big, breakfast is top notch. Right on the river, very relaxing. The only thing I could say as a negative is the hot tub was not hot for half my stay. But the place is great and I will stay here again!

While we had a great time, the room was excessively dusty. There was dust all over the walls-above where you would typically see. Sink in the bathroom stayed clogged up. Toilet Seat could have used a replacement and wobbled. Yes wobbled. Other than that the room seemed clean.
