We stayed for 4 nights and really loved everything about it. The drive in and out is a bit steep, so definitely recommend 4WD or AWD vehicle. Cabin was clean and well maintained. Hot tub was great, and clean! The owner was extremely easy to get ahold of, and talk to. Any issues we had she was quick to respond and to fix it! Would absolutely recommend! It’s small, and private, but still close enough to Gatlinburg/ pigeon forge to go out and have fun for a day! Overall great experience.

Great secluded get away!

This cabin is absolutely adorable! It is well equipped for a 2 night stay. Secluded (though there are a few other cabins near by within walking distance it feels very private). The host is VERY responsive to all messages and also lives near by

The property was beautiful.All of the cabins were placed to where you really can't see each other. It actually gave me a lot of wonderful ideas. Great spot for a couples get away. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer.

Perfect for a romantic getaway

My husband and I came down to stay for a few days to celebrate our honeymoon, and had the best time. We were looking for a cabin near the Smokies that was affordable, and this was perfect for just the two of us. The cabin had everything we needed, and the hot tub and campfire area were wonderful. I would definitely come down and stay here again!
