The property was just as listed, and the property manager was extremely responsive and helpful. We found the setting to be lovely and perfect for a quiet weekend getaway. The cabin was charming, and we especially loved the sun room overlooking the river. It was very peaceful and relaxing. The proximity to Cade's Cove, waterfalls and hiking trails was wonderful. We would love to visit again.

Location was quiet and private. Hot Tub was clean, hot and ready to go. Kitchen was well stocked, bed comfy and the sun room was gorgeous. A couple of things would have improved the stay - a shovel or something to help manage the outside fire pit, a stacked washer/dryer and a couple of larger towels for the jacuzzi. The views of The Little River, the stars at night and the spring blooms were stunning.
