Excellent cabin (if you don't mind steep driveways)
This was our second time to stay here and we couldn't have been more pleased. The fact that there are two woodburning fireplaces is what keeps us coming back. The location is fantastic also. The hosts were very quick to respond to our needs during our stay, so we will definitely be back again!
Wonderful Cabin Experience with One Small Challenge
We had a fantastic stay at this cabin near Gatlinburg! The location is beautiful and peaceful, making it the perfect getaway spot. The cabin itself was cozy, well-maintained, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
The only issue we encountered was the steep driveway—it can be a bit tricky, especially if you’re not used to mountain roads. However, it was well worth it for the amazing views and privacy. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend this cabin to others looking for a relaxing retreat in the Gatlinburg area!
We had an excellent stay. Host was responsive and helpful. Property was exactly as shown and described. So close to the park and town but still felt tucked away. We did see some bears on and near the property which was really cool. Driveway is really steep. We have a 4 wheel drive vehicle so it was no issue but would definitely be a factor if you didn’t. Hot tub was awesome after long days in the park. We would definitely visit again.
The cabin is lovely even better that the online pictures show. Sophia, the host responded within minutes of being contacted. You can sit on the porch and safely see bears.
Also as over people have said, the driveway is a challenge but there is parking at street level near the cabin.
My first experience staying in a cabin and it was amazing ! My kids enjoyed it and I will be coming back.
Any question I had the host was very professional and help me with anything right away.
Cabin was perfectly located just minutes from the national park. Place was very clean and had everything we needed.
About the driveway, I will just say that I made it with the SUV
Absolutely gorgeous stay the owners were easy to speak with and was very attentive and polite. I will definitely make another trip and hope I can get in this cabin again.
We enjoyed our stay! The cabin was lovely! Thanks!
