This property offers seclusion, privacy and is conveniently located to practically anything! Make sure you have read all communications before arriving, as you likely will not have cell service when you arrive. This spot was exactly what we were looking for! Cozy, quiet and away from the hustle and bustle. Lots of things to do without ever leaving the immediate area!

It was a great stay. The host was nice and responsive. We had a great time. It was clean, well-maintained, and beautiful. The instructions were very clear, and we knew everything about the stay and the surroundings. I do recommend this if you are going to the Smokies.

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.

Felt like home!

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!

Mini vacation

My husband and I just wanted to get away for a few days! This spot was perfect! Very cozy and comfortable! Host was very polite and helpful! We plan on bringing our son back with us next time. When it's a little warmer so we can explore the woods a little!! I recommended this little getaway to do many people!

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.

Thanks for your feedback. I'm glad you liked the cabin. In regards to the bed: after owning multiple short term rentals for over a decade, I can tell you that the comfort of the bed is one of the most subjective areas I've ever encountered. What everyone considers comfortable is so varied. This bed isn't broken. It's relatively new with a 3 inch foam topper. Maybe it was too soft. I'm sorry it wasn't what you liked.
