The cabin was very nice. The hot tub has a wide range of adjustment so even in the summer it’s comfortable. I recommend going in mid-late fall to early spring if you want the best views. I found the bed to be too firm and I couldn’t sleep very comfortably. Overall it was a good stay and I enjoyed my time here.
This property was everything we were looking for! The home furnishings, bathrooms, and kitchen are new and everything was clean. The hot tub on the balcony in the back of the house was also very clean with amazing views of the mountains. The road leading to the property was a bit tricky, especially in the dark. Overall, we would highly recommend!
Beautiful clean interior. Very comfortable vibe. There was a great view from the deck and the porch. If you love being in nature, this lodging was a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of life to take a step back and just enjoy precious moments. There is a kitchen, washer dryer, half bathroom and a full bathroom in the room. Great stay.
Cabin was spacious and inviting with lots of space for clothes and tucking away suitcases. Our favorite things were coffee on the balcony in the morning and sunsets at night! The Artist Community was our favorite area to shop - fewer crowds and accessible from the cabin without going into downtown Gatlinburg. We had a fantastic week!
We loved the cabin! Very clean, spacious and the view was fantastic. We enjoyed the sunsets, even though it was very warm in the evening. The secluded nature of the cabin really made our stay warm and inviting. Derek was accurate about the directions and cabin amenities in his communications, and the instructions in the cabin very easy to follow. The kitchen was stocked with cooking pans and all utensils, so we could prepare a nice couple's dinner. The cooking items were very good quality and easy to use. If there was anything I would recommend, is an extra hook in the bathroom. The lack of one didn't alter our experience, just a nice to have kind of thing. Thank you, Derek, for a wonderful cabin experience. We hope to book with you in the future! Highly recommend this cabin!

Great view, hot tub, convenient location, great host
We loved this cabin. The location is awesome and the view beautiful. The cabin had everything you would need for a getaway. It was very clean and very roomy. We enjoyed just sitting on the deck and having a glass of wine, so perfect.
Overall we had a great stay in the cabin. Everything was as advertised and was easy to check in and out. Great amenities and Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge along with the national park made the visit a memorable one
This cabin was the cleanest place we've ever stayed. Beautiful view from the balcony. We got to see a bear in the front yard! We loved this location and plan to come back. Very close to attractions downtown Gaitlynberg as well as Pigeon Forge. Thanks Derek!
This cabin was absolutely stunning! The interior is like brand new but with the character of the antique logs. Extremely clean and beautiful views. We would highly recommend this cabin. We will be back!
This place is so cozy , clean and beautiful! Views are gorgeous! Literally in the middle of everything you need and would want to do. The host is amazing! Will definitely be coming back.
This place was amazing, every thing about it was perfect. Pictures online do not do justice, and WOW…talk about gorgeous sunsets from the balcony. It is also located right between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge which is very nice. We can’t wait to go back again.
We absolutely loved the cabin and the accommodations provided! The cleanliness was superb and was in a convenient location to get to Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge in a short distance! Grocery stores and convent stores were near by as well! Would love to make it an annual trip for our anniversary!
We loved this cabin. It was clean, cozy and had amazing views. The area is secluded and quiet, exactly what we were looking for. The cabin has all the modern conveniences with a rustic and woodsy atmosphere. We couldn’t find one negative thing to say about it. We are already planning our next visit.
The cabin was in a great location to both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. It was clean and in a quiet location. The host was very informative with check in instructions and checking to make sure we arrived and had no issues. Follow his directions given by the instead of the GPS because our gps lead us to the wrong location and had us taking roads that were a little sketchy in a dually truck. We even got a glimpse of the neighborhood bear leaving the cabin after we checked out. We will definitely be back.
