Book a hotel near USA Raft, Hartford

"We stayed as a family of 4, and we really enjoyed the home, the accessories, and the location.The blue house has an upstairs loft, but we didn't realize it would be crawl on your knees height. Our son is fairly tall, and he opted to sleep on the couch because he was concerned about hitting his head. That said, daughter slept up there and both mom and dad went up andndown without problem. The stairs are a very large height, but if you pay attention you should be fine.The kitchen area has great supplies. We travel with a few things since my husband is a chef / sommelier, but there were some nice utensils (kitchen knife) and thoughtful details on the pots/pans and coffee area. There is a 2-eye cooktop, a microwave, and Keurig coffee statin inside. There's a propane grill outside, but you'll need to use the lighter in the house because the ignition doesn't seem to work. On the porch, there's a picnic table for outdoor dining with a beautiful view of the river. There is also a fire pit (that we didn’t use) with two chairs to relax. To the side, there's a nice campfire area (we didn’t use this either).Behind the house and directly up the hill is a rather strenuous hike to Buzzard's Roost (seriously, 3 miles one way that gains 1300 feet). You can walk from the house, or you can drive down to park on the road and access the Stone Mountain Trailhead there. This is a great spot, and we do plan to return in the future. "

"We loved our stay, removed from the Gatlinburg crowds, in this lovely, immaculate cabin. It was perfectly situated for our many hikes in the Smokies. This is a well appointed cabin where all of our needs were more than met. Highly recommended!"

"We loved it here. The view was amazing. The cabin was clean and stocked. We did have some minor communication problems at check in but the rest of the weekend we had no problems. We will definitely be coming back!"

"Small and pleasant log cabin in a less-travelled area about 40 minutes East of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Cabin was clean and organized when we arrived. Enjoyed 7 days of silence and nature during our stay. Saw a total 6 bears (not at the cabin, just during the trip)!"

"We really enjoyed our stay!! We were in the area for a wedding. It was me and my grown children and their children. My daughter has 2 grown children and my son has 2 small children. We all had plenty of room as well as separation of space with the 3 levels and bathrooms. It was a great stay. Would definitely recommend and would stay again if in the area. "

"we loved it here, very clean and has everything you could need. the host was very sweet and communicative as well. i definitely recommend staying here. "
