We stayed here over President's weekend. We were celebrating our anniversary. This cabin is located centrally from pigeon forge or gatlinburg. Very convenient to the parkway in P Forge one way and the Arts & Crafts community is also near by. The cabin is one of the cleanest ones we've stayed in. We've probably stayed in 50 different cabins over the years as we live only 1.5 hours away. The owners were very easy to work with. Beds were comfortable for a cabin. My ONLY complaint was the driveway, it is virtually impossible to make a left in to the drive, you have to pull up to the next driveway and turn around. It's not that big of a deal. But that was the only thing we didn't care for. Other than that.... this is one we will stay at again. Perfect for 2 couples as there are jacuzzis in both bedrooms. Lovely weekend overall.

We had a great time staying in this beautiful cabin. It was very neat and clean and had everything we needed during our stay. The cabin is very convenient to Pigeon Forge yet is still secluded in the mountains. We would definitely recommend staying here for anyone in the future.

My husband and I and our friends recently spent 4 nights at this lovely cabin. It was very clean and quite comfortable. It's remote yet close enough to the many activities nearby. We will all certainly recommed it to our friends and family. Thanks for a great stay!

Just What We Needed

What a wonderful cabin!! Convenient to town, and all the excitement, and to Smokeys, and then to come back to such an inviting home. Our youngest seemed to just leave her swim suit on because she kept getting in and out of the hot tub. The owners were great to work with, and the pictures can't do justice to just how homey the cabin really is. The board games and Yahtzee helped make this such a great family trip. We will highly recommend this cabin to friends and family!

Beautiful Cabin

Just came back from a long weekend at Appalachian Joy. Very appropriate name for this cabin. The cabin was spotless and had everything you need to enjoy your stay. Just far enough out of town to be away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to be convenient to everything. The cabin is great for a weekend getaway for 2 or bring the kids, there is plenty of room. We'll definitely be coming back.

We never left the cabin ...and it was great!

We arrived on Sunday, Dec. 26th, and there was probably 3" or 4" of snow on the ground (and it continued to snow all night). We had no problems traveling until we literally got within 10' of the top of the driveway (almost to the flat part of the drive), then the truck decided that was as far as it wanted to go (I really think the heavy snow and the incline might have had something to do with it as well). However, since the truck was stuck we just stayed there being thankful that we brought enough food. The next day we met one of your neighbors (Tom, who was a very nice guy) and he said that he measured 10" of snow on the top of his truck! Since we were snowed in we just took advantage of it and made the most of it. We made a big snowman on the deck (complete with a vest, hair and a smiley face). We walked around some every day and just enjoyed the beauty of God's creation. We also read God's word, watched TV, played games and enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub and jacuzzi. Once we walked around we were surprised to learn how many cabins were in the same area (but don't worry - you can't see many from the cabin). We were there for 4 days and never left in the vehicle until it was time to check out. The cabin was very nice, clean and adequately equipped. We really enjoyed the gas log fireplace and we enjoyed playing Yatzee and Monopoly. The cabin was exactly as had been described and the photos were very good. The price was also a great value. We would recommend this cabin and we would also recommend staying in! You might surprise yourself with just how much you will enjoy it. We do have some words of wisdom for the wintertime guests ---- take plenty of food just to be on the safe side!

Appalachian Joy - Completely Satisfied

We found the cabin to be all that we could have hope for - conveniently located but remote enough to provide the right amount of seclusion. Well furnished and decorated - by far the cleanest rental (we are very picky about this aspect) we've ever stayed in - we were comfortable in all aspects in your cabin. We've already recommended this cabin to friends - Best Wishes for the future...

We took a chance renting something different than our usual...and we definitely came out winners! The owners were very friendly and easy to work with. Beautiful cabin...very clean and spacious. Cabin has an outside grill to enjoy while enjoying the outdoors and rocking on the front porch. Enjoyed the solitude of the cabin while being less than 10 minutes from all the activities in town...enjoyed Dollywood...took the drive over to Cades Cove...when we left for home we took 441 South...this took us through the Great Smoky Mountain National Park...Cherokee...Dillsborough (lots of craft stores)...and we ended up in Dillard, GA for the night. The drives were absolutely beautiful...make sure to take time to enjoy all the wonderful views and outdoor activities in this area...lots and lots of nature walks! Would definitely rent again.

Appalachian Joy Aptly Named

Our week we spent at the Appalachian Joy cabin on vacation was fabulous! The cabin has a simple layout, cute decor and is VERY clean. We had time for rest, relaxation and solitude ... and the fun in town was only 10 minutes away. I enjoyed the hot tob as well as rocking on the front porch and watching the hummingbirds! The listing description and pictures were accurate, but did not do the cabin justice. It was beautiful! The owners were easy to work with, helpful in answering my questions, and the property was well-maintained. Our family was blessed to stay at your cabin, and will definitely recommend it to friends and family!

The cabin was beautiful! I would definitely recommend staying there! I did not have enough time to really enjoy all the aspects of it, but I will definitely be back again! I love seeing the mountain views and the sites in Tennessee. I had a really great time! Thank you so much!

Vacations are great to look forward too, when they get here they seem to come to an end faster than we want. This has been the greatest 5 days. The fun seeing things in town, shopping, The Stampede. Going to the Biltmore in Ashville, the Choo Choo in Chattanooga. Coming back to the beauty of this cabin, the serenity that is to be found has made for a very full, filling and happy time for all. Thank you for providing a touch of PARADISE!

Been here a week for spring break with family. Got to see a lot of sights around the area, then was able to come back and relax in a beautiful setting. Love the decor. Note: Richard and Lori helped me build a Southland Log Home in Michigan. They were extremely friendly and helpful. If you're ever in the market for a log home, I recommend them wholeheartedly. Very professional.

The stay here was wonderful! The cabin is beautiful and so is the town. We don't want to leave, but we will definitely be back. This cabin was perfect for our first trip here and our honeymoon.

This is our first experience staying in a cabin and we're so glad it was in yours. We were not disappointed. The cabin & view are spectacular. You've done a wonderful job with everything. We are already planning return trips. I cannot think of anything that you should have done different. We have our 20 month old grandson with us & he absolutely loves the bears sitting on the floor. They've been kissed, hugged and even fed. Again we really are enjoying our stay and hurry to get back to the cabin when we go out.

Thank-you for building such a wonderful cabin! We enjoyed our stay and didn't want to leave. Everything was so clean and nice. You have great taste in decorating. We will definitely be back and will recommend "Appalachian Joy" to our friends and family. Again thanks for making this such a peaceful and relaxing stay. It felt just like home. (well actually a little nicer!)
