Our stay at this cabin was absolutely wonderful. Nestled quietly in the mountains, it offers the perfect balance of peaceful seclusion and convenient access to town. The setting creates a relaxing, getaway feel without sacrificing proximity to restaurants, shops, and activities.Upon arrival, the cabin was exceptionally clean and well-maintained, which immediately made us feel comfortable and at home. Every detail was thoughtfully prepared, and it was fully equipped with all the amenities needed for a cozy and enjoyable stay. From start to finish, it provided the perfect retreat, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing mountain escape.
We had a great time. It was right on the river which was wonderful. We had a couple of mechanical issues, but the owners were very responsive to questions.
The cabin was very cozy and clean. The kitchen was stocked with everything we need to prepare and cook our food. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting around the fire pit at night.
This house is in a beautiful location. It is a 30 minute drive down a narrow, winding road but well worth it. The house was well stocked with amenities as well as being clean. It felt like a home away from home.
It is a lovely home on a beautiful property. The area is quiet and peaceful. While it is a bit of a drive to get anywhere, we already knew that from the very representative listing. The kitchen is well stocked with essentials and cleaning supplies. A great and comfortable get away!
The cabin was clean and maintained well. We loved the location and enjoyed the view of the river down by the fire pit. Highly recommend this cabin to all.
Had a wonderful stay with family! Enjoyed the majestic views of the mountains overlooking the tennessee river, while watching bald eagles, river otters, and wild turkey. Could not have asked for a better place to stay! Would absolutely go back and stay again!
It was a beautiful view and very nice cabin. Wish we could have fished and hung out in the river in front of the cabin but the weeds in the river made that impossible. We tried to rent kayaks but you definitely need to do that in advance they were booked! Regardless we really enjoyed our time here!
Property was great for our family! We saw lots of wild life including eagles catching their breakfast most mornings and several herons hanging in the shallow water. Wonderful views of the river and mountains. Well stocked kitchen. Easy check in and check out. Would recommend 4WD/AWD as the driveway might be challenging without. Cabin is 25-30 minutes minimum from main roads and access road is narrow and windy in some spots.
Wonderful setting. Saw lots of wildlife. River is great. Fishing is good. Coffee on the deck overlooking river so relaxing.Plan your drive to town due to the scenic road where wildlife is bundant. Cabin lacks overhead lights in most rooms (table lamps ate there) but all else was great.
Great house with stunning views. Everything worked.Very clean. Appreciated the coffee. Terraced driveway offered plenty of parking.We all had a wonderful stay.
Three night trip. Was very much needed and just what i needed.
