Our host was very friendly and was kind to check on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Although we didn't cook, the kitchen seemed to be adequately furnished. We spent most of our time helping our grandson move in the university for his final year. We really appreciate the fact that the cabin was pet friendly so we could bring our 10 lb Maltese rescue with us. We had a really great stay and would stay there again. I would definitely recommend it to other visitors to the area.

Just what we were looking for!
This small, unique cottage is not elaborate, but had all the things my brother and I (Ages 79, 80) were looking for in an "out of the way" location. Shopping BEFORE arriving is helpful because the nearest Grocery is several miles away. It is in driving distance of many wonderful places to see in the NC mountains. Not for everyone - but for us - it was great!

This is such a great little cabin. We wished we were able to stay a couple extra days. It's a nice small little cabin, perfect for us two and our dog. There is a mild pet odor, but that's to be expected with allowing pets to stay. It didn't bother us one bit. Our dog loved the open space and the deck is a fantastic place to just sit, relax and enjoy the view. We would absolutely come back to stay any time! I'd recommend this stay to anyone.

Before arrival the owner, Michael, let us know details with directions, access codes etc. He was extremely helpful & hospitable! He has a dog and I was traveling with my monsters, they had a blast with her!! The renovated barn is authentic, cozy, comfortable, full of amenities and very nice vibe. We didn't need for anything! Im definitely going back!

I can't say enough good things about this stay.The cabin was perfect. Amenities were more than expected. Spices, cooking oil, cookware, coffeemaker and Keurig. Beds were comfortable. Host was amazing. Even Enola (his dog) was friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend staying here if in the area. We will definitely stay here again if we are in the area.

Smoky Mountain Getaway
I was looking for a cabin with a view for my first trip to the Smokies. This one didn't disappoint. Our host welcomed us, checked in on us, and made sure we had everything we needed. The cabin is well equipped, and has everything you need, down to the smallest details. It might not be the fanciest cabin out there, but I'll take comfort and kindness over fancy any day. I would stay here again.

Michael gave us the kind of treatment that everyone should enjoy. He even took me for a hike to Alarka Falls with his beautiful dog. We had a great time and were able to relax for the stay. Would definitely recommend this property to any couple. Easy access to property and quiet area.

Amazing, relaxing……,
It was wonderful! You will have everything you need. I was surprised because normally we have to bring everything. Any dish, pots and pans, utensils. The cabinet has seasonings. Bathroom has hair dryer, soap, toothpaste, makeup remover wipes. Plenty of blankets. You have a beautiful view on porch or Balcony. Our host Michael is great and very accommodating. Couldn’t ask for a more relaxing visit. Will definitely be back.

This time I brought my mother along. She thought it was the most organized home she had stayed in. Her OCD tendencies found it very pleasing to the mind. I absolutely agree. Organization of this place is amazing. Its a lovely rustic home and I'll soon be back!
