The cabin was really great. Our group has been friends for 55 years. Each of us had a room, plenty of room to cook and play cards. Close to restaurants and activities without having to go into pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg. Really really enjoyed our stay. Easy to find. Host was most gracious with any problems we had. We’ll stay again.

Nice place to stay

This was a cute and roomy place to stay. The location was pretty convenient as it’s only minutes away from the excitement downtown. My family was visiting for the Rod Run and we loved the that we weren’t right in the midst of the hustle and bustle but were only minutes away if we decided we wanted to.

We absolutely loved staying at this property! It is very roomy as we had 5 adults and 1 child. It was very clean when we arrived and the homeowners were very easy to get in touch with. The location is only a very short drive to get to the main strip of Pigeon Forge. We would absolutely stay here again when we return!

Reunion

Stayed here with another family that we haven’t seen in a year. Cabin was perfect for a mini reunion, plenty of neat additives to the cabin. Really appreciate it the “give a little take a little” cupboards and drawers. Cute little recipe swap going on in the kitchen. We were happy with our stay. Hope to make this a tradition.
