Amazing stay
I can’t say enough about this place and the hosts. The cabin was absolutely gorgeous and clean. The location was pretty centralized with most things in the area. Nice quiet and secluded. We will definitely visit again and this place will be on the top of the lists to try to get. Their hospitality was excellent. Very fast response. Can not wait to come back.

The cabin for perfect for our family of four and a great location between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We echo many of the other positive reviews. One star remove for the neighborhood dog that barks like clockwork at 6:30am EVERY morning. We were woken up every morning of vacation due to this annoying dog and disrespectful owner. Sometimes the dog would only bark for around 5 minutes while one morning it barked continuously for around 45 min. This is no fault of the owner of the cabin but definitely impacted our enjoyment of our stay.

Awesome place to stay
Great location to both pigeon forge and Gatlinburg . Easy to find. Property was clean, beds were comfortable. We saw a bear and a baby bobcat while sitting in the hot tub on the back deck . Hosts were extremely easy to get a hold of and so very sweet. Will come back again next year

Cabin is in like new condition. According to the owner it had burnt and rebuilt in 2017. The amenities were in excess of what other cabins we had rented in the past. Coffee being supplied was a plus. Cabin is exactly as portrayed. We will definitely be back.
