Cozy, cute getaway
I was looking for a small place to stay for 2 nights and this tiny cabin was ideal. I patricularly enjoyed the hot tub and location as I wasn't interested in staying near a crowded area. Enjoyed the nearby trails. It was an easy 40-45 min drive to the Gatlinburg area to explore downtown and other attractions in the Smokies.

Nice but bad AC
The location was very nice however the AC was not powerful enough, causing the Bedroom area to be very hot. Unfortunately, the bathroom caused the pool cabin to have a sewage smell.

Inconvenience and disappointing stay
There were numerous inconveniences during our stay at Get Further Away. Upon our arrival, our cabin had several issues. These are a lack of hot water, a stove that was not working, and an air conditioner that showed an error message and also would not work. The tenant on the premises was helpful and the host suggested that we could switch to a different cabin as we just wanted to rest and enjoy our getaway. We moved cabins for the night and all was well. The following morning, we were told that that cabin was booked and we’d have to move back to our original cabin. I understand that people book cabins, but I wish that this was told to us upfront so that we didn’t fully unpack and get settled in. This resulted in us having to unpack and pack three times which took a decent chunk out of the morning both days. With that being said, we packed up our belongings and headed back to our initial cabin. We planned to spend the day in Gatlinburg, which was pushed back due to my car not being able to make it up the gravel road, and getting stuck multiple times. It took about an hour of trying to get up before deciding to take my boyfriend’s car, forcing us to pay for an extra tank of gas as we planned on using the other car which had a full tank. When we arrived home later that afternoon, we noticed a strong sewage smell in our cabin. Unfortunately, this didn’t go away for the remainder of our stay and was still prominent when we checked out. We would like a partial or full refund.

Perfect for a romantic getaway
My husband and I came down to stay for a few days to celebrate our honeymoon, and had the best time. We were looking for a cabin near the Smokies that was affordable, and this was perfect for just the two of us. The cabin had everything we needed, and the hot tub and campfire area were wonderful. I would definitely come down and stay here again!

Romantic and Charming
My wife and i stayed here for 3 nights and it was just what we were looking for. This small cabin was exactly as described, set back in the mountains with lots of shade and a small creek running through the property. Gravel road with steep incline leads to the property, 4 wheel drive is recommended. We enjoyed our own private hot tub and fire pit while listening to the sounds of nature each evening. Tammy was friendly, responsive and accomodating. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, utensils, pots, pans, cutting board, hand towels and wash cloths. No oven or microwave, but stove top was efficient and mini fridge worked well. Sleep loft was tight, with little room to sit up in the bed. We did notice a slight sewage smell coming from the toilet- was easily remedied by running the flusher for at least 20 seconds each flush and we kept the bathroom window open and bathroom door closed. Small air conditioning unit kept cabin cool, but we also brought a box fan to run at night to keep the air moving in the sleep loft. Overall, we highly recommend the Tiny Owl Cabin for a true Smoky Mountain experience.

Unpleasant
Upon arrival it was evident that a truck would’ve been needed for an experience like this. After we made it to through the gate I assume there was so clear verbiage or signage on where to go. Once we made it in it was clear there was limited air conditioning which was the our main cause of leaving after running the a/c for 2hours with all windows closed after previously being opened we decided to see if we could take a nap and wait for it to cool off and that never happened amongst that, there was no privacy not in the main living space nor outside. So with all that being said out check in was at 4:00pm and we went home due to the heat being insufferable we ended up packing up and going at 7:00pm and made it back to Chattanooga at 11:01 pm. This was supposed to be a birthday trip to which we saved for but it just turned out being a bad experience. I just wanted to share my experience with whom ever. Thanks for understanding.

Adorable little cabin!
This cabin is very small, but so fun! It was just the two of us, and we stayed cozy and comfy all night. The hot tub was plenty big enough for the two of us, and the temperature was perfect! There was a small room that woukd be so cute for 1 or 2 litrle kids that has a small collection of books, as well as a small tv and dvd player. It has plenty of easily accessible windows, so we were able to let the clean mountain air flow though comfortably. The hosts were amazing in communication, and was so sweet!

It wouldn’t have been terrible if it wasn’t cold outside, it was freezing inside with no heat and the trip down the gravel hill was awful. And the trip back up was awful I messed my car up and almost slid off road

Unique experience. Loved our little camp site. The hot tub was perfect. The stream was very nice and relaxing... The pond was beautiful. Would only change the ladder that led to bed in the loft. Maybe one with handles on top.

Winter getaway
We intentionally wanted a get away with snow and we got that. However even with 4wd, access to location was not possible because roads were not salted. We arrived on Friday and ended up having to go to a local hotel. The next day the owner arranged for us to be ATV'd to our tiny get away. The location was not salted and it was super icy. The tiny get away was not great with maintaining heat, etc in the severe conditions. We should not have been charged for Friday night and should have been given a discount for Saturday evening in my opinion.

Cute TINY home
It’s a cute little tiny home, very tiny, but as listed. The only thing is that you do feel a little claustrophobic in the bed and the bathroom has water damage on the floor around the toilet. Otherwise a great place and nice surroundings

Amazing stay at the Tiny Owl!
We loved our stay at the Tiny Owl! It is a very small cabin but worked great for us as we were out and about all day and only came back to the cabin to make dinner and sleep. We really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after being in the cold all day. There are other cabins around but it still feels very secluded and off the beaten path! I would highly recommended staying in the Tiny Owl for anyone on a budget. We will most definitely be back in the future to check out the other cabins on site!

Please allow us to introduce ourselves. We are Sam and Tammy ; We ourselves were once visitors to The Great Smoky Mountains. Sam is a native Swiss/German and had always the idea to offer and operate a “back to the basics” or Vacation retreat “holiday on a family owned and operated Farm”. We traveled all over the US to see where we want to settle. It took only one visit to realize that this is where we wanted to live, work and raise our children. We went back and forward , sold our home/company and moved to what we think is a most extraordinary place.
We are extremely proud to own and operate Stuetz Mountain Retreat, where you will receive top notch personal attention to make your stay a memorable one.
Each of the cabins we build from a kit or from scratch. All measures have been taken to provide all the comforts of home to make your stay as comfortable and authentic as possible. Click on the Cabins tab and take a tour of the available cabins. Each cabin has a list of amenities sure to please any vacationer and adventure seeker. We hope you enjoy The Great Smoky Mountains and this peace of paradise alone or with your family as much as we have.

In our life, it has been clear that nothing comes easily. We are happy that we took the hard road in many areas to develop and maintain our land, knowing that this efforts will eventually produce better results. Since we are family owned and operated we also maintain a self-sustainable lifestyle. Instead of using disposable products constantly, Sam and Tammy aims to use recyclable and reusable alternatives, even though they often require more effort.
Enjoy your stay with us!
