A Romantic Secluded Cabin With Mountain Views, Hot Tub & Wood Fireplace!

This cabin was absolutely wonderful. There was plenty of space, great views, and the perfect location not in the hustle of Gatlinburg, but an easy drive into town. We loved being secluded - without being able to see other people at least (we could hear other people talk).

Though there were some things that could be improved.

- The Jacuzzi Tub didn't fill up with hot water. We had showered that morning and took a 7-10 hour hike in the woods. When I got back I wanted to relax in the tub with a bath bomb... but there wasn't enough hot water for the entire tub. So it filled a quarter of the way up hot, then got cold. Instead I sat in the hot tub (which was great, but i really wanted to use my bath bomb!)

- There wasn't a guide book or any quick suggestions on what to do, where to go, best hiking trails, etc. Your on your own without internet. It would have been nice to have a quick layout of things to do from the host.

- I was so excited to use the telescope! BUT I couldn't get it to work, even with the owners manual. It was a very nice expensive telescope that moved to stars/planets on its own... but I couldn't see anything. A short and sweet "how-to" or "best views" sheet with quick easily digestible instructions would be much better than trying to read an entire owners manual.

- You are required to take the trash out and do the dishes. While I know this is common courtesy, you are paying a $75 cleaning fee, plus the ask of a tip. And if you don't do this there is threat of extra charges in the rental agreement.

- 10 AM checkout. I'm not an early bird. I hate 11AM checkouts, but they are the norm and reasonable. 10AM is a bit early. They also threaten to charge you $250 if you're not out in time. The cleaning lady showed up at 10:05 as we were fiddling with the lock.

Again, this place was amazing and I would love to go back even with all these nit-picky things. But I also believe you should fully know what to expect. It should also be noted that checkout, required cleaning, and the fees are all in the rental agreement that you read before reserving. It wasn't a surprise, but just an annoyance.

The best part of the cabin were the views! We could only enjoy these views however from indoors....there were wasp nests on both sides of the patio making it uncomfortable to be out on the deck. Swatting bugs is one thing, but dodging wasps is another. The hot tub was cold and didn’t heat up completely until the next day which was also a huge bummer for us. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. Just wish we could have enjoyed the amenities a little more.

First off would like to say that this place is not all that bad but we had some issues. We got the itinerary and it said they recommend us to come before dark but with the way our drive was we didn't get to arrive until after dark and there was barely any lights or signs to help lead the way up. We want to thank a friendly neighbor who helped us get up the mountain to the cabin as the itinerary states to increase speed but you need to gun it literally to get up as we got stuck twice trying to get up the hill but be careful because there is a little bridge that will keep you from increasing your speed as well as a little sweet dog who wants to help you but you have to keep your speed up and we almost hit her :(. I would definitely not recommend this cabin to someone who is used to city life as we are city people and wanted to try something different and well we got it. The cabin itself is beautiful you do get great views from the main and top balcony. Did not like that we had to go outside to get to the Jacuzzi level and the front porch there should be doors from the inside. We tried to use the Jacuzzi inside and it was so loud and splashed water every where so we immediately had to turn it off! This cabin is not two bedrooms it is one bedroom and a loft which we were kind of disappointed as we were two couples and would have liked our privacy! They do have a fireplace outside but please do be aware you have to bring your own firewood so it would of been nice to know that before getting up the hill and settled in. All of the balcony's and chairs had to be wipe down as there were spider webs everywhere which we understand is apart of nature but they could have cleaned it up a bit before we got there. There is a lot of decorations in the house but unique and wasn't all that bad! Sun rise from the first floor room is absolutely beautiful as well as on the balconies! The kitchen has everything you need. The grill is like the ones at a park and can not be moved, which disappointed us because it rained almost our whole stay so we only got to cook out once and had bought food to cook out our entire stay. Another thing i did not like is that we had a curfew basically because you could not get to the cabin after dark and i highly recommend you don't unless you are comfortable with the area. This is a nice cabin with beautiful views just not a good stay for our first time in a cabin in the mountains.

We had a wonderful time at this well cared for cabin, from the moment we arrived to the time to leave each moment was a memorable experience and I would like to thank the owners of this property for having let us share in there most beautiful piece of Tennessee serenity and awesome views. I highly recommend this rental property to those considering staying here. Please take care of the dog whom watches over this place, she is a free spirit whom we nicknamed turbo. She has a good life there and she was a joy to share this trip with. I highly recommend this rental and you will be hooked from the moment you arrive. Thank you so much for sharing your cabin with my Loved ones.

The views are fantastic. We loved the cabin. Private, access was easy, views awesome, hot tub very nice, beds not great, TV so so (who cares), friendly cute neighbor dog, lots to do nearby. Overall positive experience.
