We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cabin on the hill - looking forward to a return visit. Loved our "double yoker" egg, courtesy of Diane and Gene's chickens!
Owner response:Our chicken, Hilda, has not been presenting us with delicious mountain eggs for sometime now. We are pleased she chose to share her one-time 2 yolk egg with Jerry and Celeste. We were afraid Hilda had forgotten us. A pleasant and timely gift.

Loved our stay at the cabin. Rustic applies only to the outside of this comfortable cabin. We had a great stay, cabin is close to town and all shopping and attractions. The chickens are so much fun! We hated to leave and will return again for another stay. Gene and Diane are great hosts and make sure you have all you need plus Teddy the dog is so cute!

Owner response:Scott and Shirley were ideal guests. Scott named our 2 chickens as Hilda and Matilda and they responded with a favorable "cluck cluck". We are all, with Teddy, eagerly waiting for Scott and Shirley to come again and enjoy the Great Smokey Mountains with us again. Scott caught some keeper fish while here. Way to go Scott....

Thank you Gene and Diane for a wonderful week in the most precious cabin ever!! You treated us like prince and princess. Could not have picked a more pleasant place to stay. The rustic cabin was quaint, cozy and just awesome and near everything. We are looking forward to coming back in November. Makenzie cannot stop talking about the flowers, cows, chickens, art. You two made the trip so special. Thank you again.

We wanted you to know that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your charming cabin. All the beautiful flowers growing around the cabin and the multitude of song birds were such a delight. Also, the pie you gave us was delicious. Thank you for everything.

We came for our first year anniversay and could not have picked a more special place. Thank you so much for your hospitality. Here is advice for future renters of Orchard Hill Cottage. You must visit Cade's Cove. It's a long ride but well worth it. We also recommend Mason's Mtn. Mine. The mine is just 20 minutes from the cabin. Hard work yields results. Different food at Cyprus Restaurant in the Highlands. The best part of our trip was just pulling off on the side of the road and playing in the waterfalls and creeks.

We highly recommend! # 1 Mining at The Rose Creek Mine.. we found lots of awesome gems, some being made into jewelry. Pack a lunch!! #2 Sheffield mine, we found smaller gems, mostly rubies. One was 23.5 carat. (having it made into a pendant) Both are close by and lots of fun. #3 Definitely go to the "Gem Factory".. It is a great shop. Chris will look at all of your "finds" and show you what can be made. Great prices!! #4 Drive up to Highlands--WOW. Stop at Dry Falls on the way up. You can walk under them. #5 Driver "under" Bridal Veil Falls--just because you can. We'll add more to the list when we return to our "new home away from home".

What a great place to "run away" to! We really felt at home. Gene and Diane felt like friends. "You have a special place here. We would love to come back"
