Cute little cabin was clean and ready for our stay when we got there. Stocked well. Easy check-in and check-out. Jessica was a great host! Her advice about getting gas and groceries before going to the cabin was very helpful and spot on. Her directions regarding the driveway were also very helpful. I had an AWD and had no problems, but I don’t think I would have attempted it with a 2-wheel drive. As for cell service, I have Verizon and did not have coverage at the cabin (host warned about this) and the WiFi is most likely as strong as it can be, but cannot handle too many devices at once… just something to be aware of. Overall, it was a really nice stay.

A wonderful location and a very nice cabin. It was clean and cozy.But I wanted a good night’s sleep and the hand me down/broken down bed was uncomfortable, at best. I’m probably going to stop staying in VRBOs because this is the 3rd rental that had an uncomfortable bed. Hotel quality beds should be the standard.

Great Anniversary get a way

The little bungalow was just as advertised! It was remote, quite, had a kitchen, bathroom, and was in a great location to explore an area we had not been in before. Recommend renting Ebikes and touring Cades Cove, and hiking the area trails.

Amazing get away

Firstly, it was so clean, and nicely stocked. The driveway to the cabin is not bad. It's steep but our front wheel drive suv, made it no problem. Probably not a car. Also it's a steep hill, so watch your footing. The area is remote on top of the mountains, along super long, winding roads. Be careful driving at night, as it gets very foggy. But the area is gorgeous, quiet, peaceful. Right outside of good hiking spots and Gatlinburg and pigeon forge. Great place. The host was awesome, and responded quickly to any questions. Number one advice, remember to keep your key in lockbox. Very easy to lock yourself out lol!yourself out!! Thanks for the memories memories!!to

We loved this stay. Great experience when booking/checking in. The host was very accommodating to our check in time. The bungalow was very clean and cute. There was alot of information provided on the area/hiking trials. Beautiful views leading to the place as well with alot of outlooks to stop on if wanted. Would definitely stay again!

Quick, easy, comfortable,

The host clearly takes pride in providing a great and affordable space for renters. Entire process was seamless. The bathtub was an added comfort, being positioned in view of the tv so you could relax and watch a movie on the multiple streaming services available. Highly recommend the bungalow

We had a nice and cozy stay at the little bungalow. 😊 Seriously listen about the drive way. It is very step and loose gravel by the cabin. Other than that it is a very nice and relaxing place.

Nice cabin

It was a nice and a clean stay. Host is really responsive and gave us all the details that is needed for a smooth check in and for parking. Only issue was hot water ran out after one person shower and had to wait for 15mins or so for next shower. I really wanted to stay for fall but when we went there leaves have turned into brown. I would recommend this place for anyone.

Niet heel schoon

Wij zijn maar 1 nacht hier geweest en kwamen laat aan. Voor het oog is het schoon, maar als je wat verder kijkt laat dat nogal te wensen over. Ik wilde graag in bad, maar er bleek niet voldoende warm water te zijn om het bad te vullen. Verder een mooie locatie en het huis is lekker ruim.
