We loved our stay at the cabin! Denise was very welcoming and quick to respond to any questions. The hot tub was perfect, especially after a long hike. We enjoyed a couple hikes at the Cosby entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains Park. It was a short 10 minute from the cabin. The cabin felt private but not secluded. There are other homes by the cabin, but the trees made it feel pretty private. The cabin was very clean and just as described. The creek running behind the cabin was peaceful to listen to while in the hot tub. Everything was great and just the quiet trip we needed.

This cool cabin was great! The only thing it is a little further out than I thought. But other than that it’s cute place. We enjoyed the hot tub. I wish we would have brought firewood for the fire place it’s really cozy! Denise was a great host and always answered any questions I asked!

Such a great little cabin outside of the busyness!

This stay was an anniversary trip for my husband and I. We really enjoyed the cozy cleaniness of this little cabin. The hottub was very relaxing and listening to the little creek that ran next to it was so peaceful. Denise was a great host!

Great cabin for what it’s worth

The cabin was accurate as listed. Me and my wife stayed at the cabin for our honeymoon and it was pretty amazing. The drive to Gatlinburg wasn’t too bad, just about 30 minutes away. I have a few minor complaints that I’ll be nitpicking about. The bed isn’t very comfortable, not a lot of privacy when using the hot tub, and also some spots inside the cabin hasn’t been thoroughly cleaned or dusted. However, we were able to overlook all of it and still had a wonderful experience. The hot tub was actually my favorite part about the cabin despite the lack of privacy from the other nearby cabins/houses. My wife’s favorite part of the cabin was the recliners in the living room. I would definitely recommend this cabin for couples that would like to be in a quiet area and don’t mind a 30 minute drive to Gatlinburg or other major attractions.

Remembering Mom

We spent a 4day weekend on the one year anniversary of my mother's passing. We were right where we wanted to be. Secluded enough but still within driving distance of the places we needed to be. The cabin was welk appointed and very clean. Be sure you know how to cook on an electric stove , and don't trust GPS if you are coming in from the north!😆

Retirement vacation

Great stay, great cabin for the two of us. Far enough east of Gatlinburg to enjoy the quiet, less hectic of the tourist part of the Smoky Mountains. Located to get to anything we wanted to and did. We enjoyed the hot tub a few nights and even had a couple camp fires. Thank you so much!

Anniversary get-a-way

We had the privilege of staying at the Cool Water cabin for four nights in celebration of our Anniversary. The hosts were beyond accommodating. The cabin was so much more than we expected. The cabin was pristine and included everything we needed for our stay. We have stayed in multiple VRBOs in the past and this one tops the cake. The cabin included everything from snacks set out for our arrival, coffee, bottled water, toiletries and so much more. We enjoyed staying on the outskirts of Gatlinburg and enjoyed the easy ride into town. We would park at the Gatlinburg Welcome Center and use the free trolly to commute around town. We will definitely be back. Thank you to the wonderful hosts. It truly was a memorable experience.

Excellent small cabin near Cosby

Easily accessible from paved rural roads, 8 minutes from Cosby entrance to GSMNP. Numerous cabins fairly close by; privacy good, but you'd probably wait until dark to use the nice little hot tub. Very comfortable and well equipped; very clean except for a few pet hairs in the bath mat. We were not big fans of the funky sinks, they aren't very ergonomic.

Cozy Retreat

We came to see the Great Smoky Mountains, and we are so glad we found this cozy retreat away from it all. Our favorite part was soaking in the hot tub after a day of hiking all over the mountains and town. Denise is a wonderful host who took good care of us. We would definitely stay here again.
