We had an a really nice time and enjoyed our stay. The cabin was clean and In a nice location. It had everything we needed and look forward to another stay in the future
We absolutely loved staying here! The host made everything so simple and the cabin was amazing! Everything was perfect for our family vacation and the location made it easy to do a lot of fun activities without driving forever. We cant wait to come back and stay again!!
The cabin location was PERFECT! For all activities in and around Gatlinburg. My friends and I had an incredible time and the cabin was beautiful. Highly Recommend!
Wonderful stay at this cabin! The owner was very responsive and so kind. The cabin was very clean and cozy as well as very conveniently located for both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We did walk to downtown (15-20mins), if you don’t mind a couple hills. And we did see a bear while down at the fire pit! If you’re looking for a great relaxing stay with privacy while also close to everything, this is the perfect stay! We will definitely be back!
Property mgr gets a 10! Extremely responsive cabin was very nicely appointed and the inclusion of linens was very appreciated. Just one thing to note is the drive is short to and from the cabin to town but winding, narrow and one lane at one point. Just to note if coming in the winter.
The cabin and location were fantastic. The location was close to plenty to do, while feeling cozy in the woods. It was a perfect location for our family to gather, spend quality time and celebrate a birthday. The host was extremely helpful and great to work with.
The cabin was clean. Our host was great and communicated everything we needed to know. The hot tub was clean and ready for use. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Cabin was close to everything but also secluded. We would definitely stay there again and I would recommend this place.
Great location for a holiday stay with family. Perfect sized cabin for our family. Beautiful views, great location, excellent recommendations by the host. The cabin had excellent WiFi service that allowed for my husband to catch up on work and my kids to stream without interference. The highlight was the Master Suite with the soaker tub to relax and warm up after a long day of sightseeing on the top of Anakeesta! Would highly recommend
We booked this property for a last minute trip to Gatlinburg for New Year’s Eve.The property was fantastic! We had our family of 6 (5 adults/1teen) and two dogs. Will definitely plan to go back!
This cabin was awesome!! Cute, clean and lots of games and activities. The location is perfect as well. It’s close enough to town to walk but far enough away that it’s private and quite.
Will definitely stay here if I ever make it back to the smoky mountains!!! Thank you!!
My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary and everything about the cabin was amazing. The pictures hardly do the cabin and the amenities justice! It was spotless and just as described and we look forward to coming back sometime. Jennie is an amazing hostess and I would highly recommend her cabin.
was an amazing hostess
We really enjoyed our stay at this beatiful cabin. It was not only clean, it was warm and welcoming. Our hosts made sure we had everything we needed.
The scenery was beautiful and serene.
The cabin is in close proximity to both, Pigeon Forge and downtown Gatlinburg.
We hoghly recommend this cabin for your next Smokey Mointain vacation.
This was the perfect cabin for our Gatlinburg getaway! It was clean and decorated soooo cute! Jeannie thought of everything! I love that the communication with her was super quick too! Great location too! Can’t wait to be back maybe in the summer!
We just stayed here from 7/4 -7/12 and absolutely loved this cabin. Family of 5 1 fur baby had plenty of space inside & out. It was very well stocked in the kitchen (with SPICES yay), many board games, amazing shuffleboard game & head to head arcade. Towels provided for the hot tub- much appreciated, clean comfortable beds & baths. It was super close to Dollywood & all the Pigeon Forge fun & our favorite... walking distance to Gatlinburg. We walked there almost every night. The owner reached out to make sure everything was fine or if we needed anything ( I appreciated that). We'll definitely stay here again.
We loved staying here — we knew we would be spending time at the aquarium and restaurants on the Gatlinburg parkway so we wanted to be close by, but still feel in the mountains. This was it! Hot tub, in the woods, great porches, log cabin, but a 3 minute drive to the main drag. My kids loved the game room. Great tvs (football season!), roomy kitchen and dining. Covered parking, keypad entry. Jennie was so easy to work with.
