What Guests Are Saying

★ “This property was perfect for my family and my sister’s family vacation. Plenty of space to spread out. Nicely decorated. Very homey and comfortable. The kids stayed entertained with big yard and plenty of trees… our favorite thing was the spacious front porch with rocking chairs and a daybed.”

★ “We stayed here with 7 adults and 7 kids. We loved the secluded location and cabin. The host kept in touch to make sure we had a great stay. They even left us s’mores items for the kids.”

★ “We had a great time and made a lot of special memories. The kids had lots of room to play in the yard — you can’t find that too often in the mountains. Fires every night. Comfy beds. We will be back!”

Beautiful Cabin!

We loved the property! The two buildings enabled us to let our young adult children have their own space while the main cabin was the hub of the activities. Away from all the traffic was an added bonus. The bears that were there everyday were much entertainment! (They loved your apples from the apple tree). The lounge bed you have on your beautiful front porch could be nicely replaced by a swing. (The bed was very musty). Overall it was a very nice week in a very nice home.

Family Thanksgiving Trip 2022

This property fit our family perfectly. With the two separate living areas, this was ideal for a stay with small children! The location of the cabin is definitely not in a busy area. If you want to be close to Piegon Forge, this property would not be what you are looking for. You will drive at least 20 minutes to get to Piegon Forge restaurants. Cades Cove is about 45 minutes away. This is your property if you want quite and to disconnect from the busy life we all live! Our family really liked our time here!

Beautiful secluded getaway

This property was perfect for my family and my sisters family vacation. Plenty of space to spread out. Nicely decorated. Very homey ad comfortable. The kids stayed entertained with big yard and plenty of trees. When it rained they had fun playing games that were provided, frozen ball, and air hockey. Our favorite thing was the spacious front porch with the rocking chairs and daybed. We spent the majority of our time out on that beautiful front porch. It was really nice they provided a nice gas grill, a kreuig and coffee pods. Looking forward to coming back .

Off the Beaten Path

My family and I were looking for a place to stay to take one last vacation with my sister and her family before they are deployed to Japan this summer. Easter and the kids’ subsequent spring break was our perfect opportunity. Before our arrival Matthew had given us all of the information we’d need to enter the property (as phone and wifi service are naturally spotty in the mountains; we were prepared and happy to work through this). Upon arrival, my sister and I had discovered an Easter basket FILLED with toys and candy for the children, along with a note that advised us to look in the refrigerator where we found eggs and dye for the kids. This listing wasn’t IDEAL when we found it, as it did not have enough rooms separated by walls, but we believe it helped us and the kids get closer. They played longer, slept in the bunkhouse together, and genuinely enjoyed their time together more than they would have, had the rooms been separated. The main cabin was used for the adults in my family which do not yet have children. We made breakfast for everyone and sat together almost every morning before adventuring off as a family. If there is anything I’d say that might deter you from staying at this property, it is this: to get out of the neighborhood, it takes a minimum of 15-20 minutes. The cabin sits deep in the holler, this is something we looked for; with lots of children we wanted to ensure that we were not disturbing anyone, and we are a very “outdoors” type of family. If you plan on being close to pigeon forge and not wanting to drive 30 minutes to popular attractions like “the island” or the titanic museum or what have you, then this is your sign. But if you love the country, and rolling hills with horses and cows and animals alike, than this home AND host are definitely for you. Matthew kept in contact with our needs. Our first day exploring, he had messaged us to ensure that the home met our needs. We were aware of the lack of service and wifi and had no other issues learning how to work everything at our disposal. He was kind, and EXTREMELY thoughtful and our family cannot say enough good things about his home and his generosity.

New Year

The property was about 45 minutes from anything. If you are looking for something super remote this is a good option. Everything is pretty far away, including grocery shopping. The property was very dirty, the sheets looked like they hadn't been washed, there was a lot of dust all over, we ended up cleaning as soon as we got there because it was very dirty. There is no cell service, and the wifi is pretty slow, so it's difficult to connect to anything. The property owner Matthew contacted us to find out if the house was clean and I voiced my concerns and he never responded to it. We ended up having to leave 2 days early because of a snowstorm where we had no electricity or running water. The pictures don't really show the layout very well, the main house has 2 rooms and like a loft area on the second floor, one bedroom has a single bed and the other bedroom has a double bed, there is a full bathroom and laundry on the first floor of the main house, the upstairs has a king-size bed, a full bathroom, and a fuse ball table. there are 3 closets on the second floor so plenty of room for storing suitcases and whatnot. The lighting could be better, it's kind of dark. The Barnhouse has a full bathroom on the main floor and sauna, it has it's own kitchen, and on the second floor its a big loft with a sectional, an activity area, 2 double beds, a single bed, and a sofa bed.

Good times all around

We had a great time. Plenty of space to hang out, play games, cook, relax in the hot tub. We personally brought our projector and screen and set it up in the studio and played So it was nice having the large space and multiple couches. Only complaints (and they are minor) is that the studio has NO internet. Maybe a second router for out there could fix that issue. And the beds in the studio are very stiff and plastic like. I was hoping for slightly comfier beds for the price but everyone in the main house enjoyed their beds so maybe we’re just too old for hard beds. But super minor fixes that in no way took away from a great vacation. There’s so much to do on property we really didn’t ever NEED to leave. But when we did town wasn’t too far! I would stay again :)

No blankets, broken chair and shower door

The rental process was very easy to negotiate but once at the property there Were no blankets for the foldout couch. No additional blankets no additional pillowcases. One of the bar chairs broke while our daughter was sitting on it causing bruising and swelling to her knee. Management told us that the chairs were working properly prior to our arrival it was obvious they had tried to fix them with screws and nails before so this was not their first incidence with these chairs. The shower door is only held on by two rollers both of which they are not maintained properly causing the screws and wheels to fall off and glass doors to fall off the hinges while showering. The air conditioner that was upstairs leaks to the downstairs Dining room. The air conditioner in the garage home was not sufficient for the area and it never cooled down properly nor did it have adjustments that you could make for it and it was extremely loud.
