Beautiful and clean!

We had a wonderful trip. The place was extremely clean and very beautiful location. We loved sitting on the back porch in the morning and evening. Be very aware of bears! My husband was taking a bag of trash to put in the car so we could drive it up the hill to the trash bins as we were checking out. He turned to look over his shoulder and a bear was right there. The bear was not afraid of us at all. He charged at my husband and I had to throw a water bottle down the hill which bought us enough time to get in the car and lock the doors. The bears are very active at dawn and dusk. Don’t let your guard down anywhere. Nancy was extremely responsive and was a wonderful host. You will have the best issue no matter where you go around there.

Cabin in the Mountains

First of all, I do want to say that the drive to the cabin is very, very steep and has a narrow road. Other than the drive up the cabin was extraordinary and very well kept. The balcony up top is a great place to sit and have your coffee and just listen to the wildlife. Our first night there we did see 6 bear near the cabin so if you want to see wildlife I think you’ll see it here. We really enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful cabin and location

What a GORGEOUS cabin especially in the Fall! I enjoyed my morning coffee in a different spot each morning (I was obsessed with the pretty mugs). The views were just beautiful and the neighborhood was so peaceful. All of the decorative details were perfect. The kitchen had everything we needed. Thank you Nancy for being a gracious and responsive host and for sharing this lovely cabin!!

Just close enough and just enough removed!

We had a wonderful 25th anniversary stay at Aunt Lib’s Shine Shack! More room than we needed for 2, for sure, but we used and enjoyed it all! Home away from home. We enjoyed the breeze in the enclosed sunroom and the post-hke soaks in the hot tub! My husband enjoyed trying to make high scores on the game table while I grabbed a great read from Nancy’s book selection. We saw 7 bear during our stay and got many wonderful steps in on nearby trails… and ate and drank well along the way! We will be back!!! Highly recommend!!! Thanks Nancy :-)

Fall 2024 getaway

My wife and i enjoyed our stay at this the cabin. It is a newer , well kept and clean cabin.it has several extra amenities to entertain any age level. It is very quite with few close neighbors which we enjoyed as we hung out mostly on the screened in porchin the evening and watched a couple of movies. We plan on returning soon for another stay.nancy was easy to contact and very responsive to any need or concerns we had. veryporch

Excellent for groups

Overall excellent experience. We were able to spot a bear next to the cabin as well. Extra blind for kitchen/patio door could have added the coziness/safety. Basic toiletries and towels were provided which was good but Makeup towels were not that clean and had hair on it!! But overall cleanliness was really good. Would strongly recommend.

Perfect modern cabin retreat for families!

The home and property were equally beautiful. Very clean and modern but with the cabin feel we love. Very comfortable beds and furniture. Our teen girls also loved it! My husband and I spent a lot of time on the screened in porch sipping coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. It was the perfect setting. 😊

First timers

We planned a couples trip to experience the Smokey Mountains. The stay was perfect. The cabin had everything you could think of. It’s quite the experience driving in the mountains but we adjusted quickly. We even had a Bear and baby cub only a few yards away from the cabin making its way though. We enjoyed all the hiking. Favorite place to eat was the Local Goat in Pigeon Forge. We enjoyed the General Store there for souvenir shopping as the stuff was not tacky.

Peaceful

This cabin is beautiful! It is quiet and peaceful after a day in the city or hiking. It's clean and we'll stocked with supplies for cooking/grilling. We enjoyed our stay very much. The location between Gatlinburg and pigeon forge is really nice, you can easily get to either pretty quickly. The upstairs game room was a family family. I'd definitely recommend staying here. We'll be returning someday soon

Perfect Family Vacation

Aunt Lib's Shine Shack earns a well deserved 5 star review from this happy family! Attentive best describes this owner/property. Prior to the vacation we had a small issue with billing that was resolved easily and promptly through email. During our stay we accidently tripped a fuse with too many blow dryers and emailed to find the fuse box with immediate response and even had follow up! Every detail in the house is thought out. You can tell that instead of a large business with many properties the manager is person who is thinking about their visitors and strives to make their vacation excellent. A few things to know: The drive up to the property is in the mountains so expect it to be exciting. There is a nice table to eat at in the screened in porch but if it's chilly when you stay there isn't a kitchen table inside. It didn’t effect our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Jones

Tennessee is my home. I was raised in a small rural community, and continue to live in that area where I have worked and raised my family. We grew up knowing the love of family! When we are together for a meal, experience a tree trekking adventure, watch a game, travel, or gather around to play a game of Pinochle it's the most rewarding time! It's family!

Why they chose this property

This property is special in so many ways! My mother is the inspiration for Aunt Lib's "Shine" Shack. She was a truly remarkable lady in all of her roles. She loved life!
Especially time spent with family and friends! This cabin is a place where family and friends can come together and make those long lasting special memories! Experience the wrap around porch with swings and rocking chairs, nap or read on the private screened in porch. Have a smores evening with your group on the patio and firepit! The Great Smoky Mountain area has so much to offer! Let Aunt Lib's "Shine" Shack host your family or group!
