We’ve stayed at this cabin multiple times, and it continues to exceed our expectations. You truly can’t beat the location—it’s perfectly situated with easy access to both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, making everything so convenient.The cabin itself has everything we need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. It’s always clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped, which makes it feel like a home away from home.The host is also wonderful to work with—always responsive and quick to communicate, which we really appreciate.We’ve been very happy with each of our stays here and will absolutely be booking again in the future. Highly recommend!

Dear Jeremy, Thank you for your short and to the point review. We pride ourselves on having our cabin spotless, and will be sure to share your review with our housekeeper. The location was the main reason, why we purchased the cabin in the first place- it is just far enough to be "remote" but close enough to be convenient. Thank you for staying in our cabin, and we hope to have you stay with us again soon. Best, M&J

We really enjoyed our stay at this cozy cabin! It was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. My husband who uses an electric wheelchair had no issues getting into the cabin. We also loved it's pet friendly and we were able to bring our two small dogs with us. The location is also great! The only thing we had issues with was the wifi didn't want to work, the host communicated quickly and tried to get it resolved. It wasn't a big deal to us, we enjoyed the DVD player in the evening and watched movies together.

Overall great stay and great hosts, but the floor is in serious need of repair. There’s a large area between the entryway and the kitchen that is dangerously uneven and weak. We had to walk through very carefully for fear of tripping or falling through to the basement. It’s become a dangerous situation and should be repaired as soon as possible.

Dear Jason, thank you for your sweet and short review. I pride myself on being accessible to our guests and I am glad that it made a difference. The main reason, we love our house is its convenient location- with two acres of land and no neighbors in sight, we are still only a 2 min drive to the heart of Gatlinburg.

Homey cabin

The a/c went out the second day we were there but we got ahold of the onsite housekeeper Leann and she was quick to call the owners, the a/c was fixed in less than 2 hours! We were VERY pleased with that! The cabin makes you feel like home and PLENTY of room to roam around. The only thing we didn’t care for is that it was too close to the road but other than that we’d stay again!

Dear Beverly, Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. At times, when there are events in town, the traffic on the road by our house increase as people are trying to avoid the main path. We have installed sound proof windows in hopes that it will cut any and all road noise during these occasions.

We were very pleased! We were comfortable and had everything we needed. The yard and patio area were so pretty plus a peaceful little creek ran down the border. Great location to downtown Gatlinburg and a short drive down the mountain to Pigeon Forge.

Great place to stay!

We (6 adults and 1 child) arrived to town early and I had asked if we could get in early host said she would let me know as soon as it was ready. She let me know and we were able to get in an hour ahead of anticipated so that was great. Communication was great and friendly. When we walked in it smelled very clean and was very clean. Location is perfect it is right down the road from the Gatlinburg action and also easy to get to pigeon forge from here. Would definitely recommend this place and would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by M & J

Host profile image
We are family that has been coming to Gatlinburg on vacations for many years and we have finally decided to buy a place on our own. We spent quite a few months renovating and rebuilding this house to make it perfect. We are excited to be able to share our house with our guests when we are not there.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the location of this house-- it is perfect! We love that we have a completely secluded private 2 acres of land with no neighbors in sight. The house is less than 2 min from Gatlinburg, and if you feel like it, you can even walk down the hill and hop on the town trolly to take you to the center of Gatlinburg. The nearest grocery store is less than 5 min drive, so its very convenient if you plan to do some cooking or BBQ grilling.

What makes this property unique

The house is a modern cabin that has been fully remodeled on the inside with brand new bathrooms, kitchen, furniture, carpets and appliances.
We have a small creek running through the property and a vast backyard that is perfect for relaxing, kids playing and barbecuing.
