This place was great! While we had an issue with laundry because we were traveling on a motorcycle and packing light, solutions were offered efficiently and selflessly! We were so grateful for the cabin and all the amenities- what a peaceful place to spend part of our honeymoon. We will for sure book again next time we visit the area!!

This is a great place to stay. We enjoy everything. The setting by the river, the comfort, and the especially the hospitality of those who work there and own it. We also went over to the Little River Pub and Deli, and ate there, and really enjoyed it. Its a nice and peaceful place to stay, and if you love being right next to water and the outdoors, it's a wonderful setting. Thank you so much, we look forward to being back again soon..

It's close to the smoky mountains and on the river. The place was clean. Feels more like a motel than a separate house, it's fine, but you'll have to share the outside space with other people.
