House was great. The only downside was the parking area. We rode motorcycles so the driveway was tricky the first time. Other than that, everything was great. Location to area attractions was great. Close to the grocery store and restaurants. Will stay again in the future. Thank you for providing a great house in the woods.

This cabin was everything that it was described to be. We couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay, only wish it was longer. We even got to see a bear right outside the door.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Very quiet and peaceful. Nearby Townsend had everything we needed. This area is much less crowded than Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Close to Cades Cove. We would stay here again.
