Thank you for your review Melissa. Sorry about the rain, but it sure does help keep East Tennessee nice and green for us. I hope you found some things to do in the cabin like playing on the classic arcade game, board games, foosball, or relaxing in the hot tub. Please bring your wonderful family back to visit us someday, and we will request sunnier weather for ya 😊. Kevin

Enjoyed our stay!

We enjoyed Lil Ponderosa because it was spotless and we felt at home immediately. We slept well in the king sized bed that is super comfortable. The location is in between Maryville and Knoxville which worked perfectly for our trip. We can’t wait to stay on the property again. Great experience.
