Love this cabin!!, so comfortable and clean! The view from the porch is great! This is the second time we have stayed and sure that we will return again later in the year.
This was a sweet little cabin nestled on the side of a mountain that had breathtaking views into the valley below. It was clean and had everything we needed. I would definitely stay here again.
The cabin and property really exceeded our expectations. It’s cozy and you get a beautiful view of the mountains. We appreciated the solitude and quiet without being too far from busier areas. Already planning on coming back next year!
Great cabin! Extremely clean and comfortable, close to everything. Planning on staying again next year!

Thank you Lori! It is wonderful to know you loved the cabin. Its also great that it was super cute & clean. We hope you stay with us again. Safe travels, until next time.
We had a lovely stay at this cabin and the views were amazing, it was everything we wanted it to be plus some, but the written directions could be touched up slightly seeing as we did get lost the first time getting to it. On the plus side we got to witness a beautiful momma bear and cub right behind the cabin which was super exciting for us
No issues very nice and clean also got to see mama bear and her babies would stay again

Im glad you got to see mama & her babies! That is very special. Its great to hear that you enjoyed your cabin as well. We look forward to you staying with us again. Thank you.
We had a wonderful stay. The cabin was so cozy and the porch with the rocking chairs was the perfect spot for sunsets. It was close enough to get to entertainment quickly but out enough to have the quiet peacefulness of the mountains. We will definitely be back.

Leslie, We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We appreciate your feedback. We hope you will return again soon.
We loved the cabin, it was perfect , and plan on staying there again sometime. We stayed from 2/13/25 to 2/16/25. The best part was Valentine’s night in front of the fireplace the love of my life asked me to marry him. It was absolutely perfect and the best weekend of my life and his also.
Definitely a Premier Host! Our cabin was clean and ready for check-in 30 mins early. Air was giving problems but thankfully an extremely nice on call tech did some work and got us window units to help during our stay. Would definitely stay here again.
Cabim was perfect for a couple. Nice view, quite, great sunsets, and supper close to the park entrance and multiple top notch motorcycle rides. There was a mother bear and 3 cubs we saw in the lower woods by the cabin.
We parked out bike and trailer at the office.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We’re so glad to hear that the cabin was the perfect getaway for you. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the view, tranquility, and sunsets, as well as the convenient access to the park and great motorcycle routes. Seeing a mother bear and her cubs sounds like an incredible bonus to your stay! We’re also happy that parking worked out smoothly for you. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again soon for more memorable moments.
We booked to stay 6 nights and only stayed 2 due to rain and concerns about hurricane Helene. Seeing the aftermath, I think we made the right decision for our safety. Hope to return another time to this property.

Nice but small
Cabin was kinda small compared to pictures. The spiral staircase was kinda different to navigate with luggage. And the upstairs windows in living room didn’t have blinds no privacy if you had someone staying upstairs. But over all cabin was nice.

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you found the cabin nice overall. We'll take your suggestions into consideration for future improvements. We hope to welcome you back for another stay!
We enjoyed our stay and liked the cabin. Bear in mind you will have to go up and down a spiral staircase.
Owner should add a free standing wardrobe. This is because the only closet is consumed with a hot water heater and washer and dryer. Small chest of drawers was mostly consumed with extra bedding. I just laid out my clothes on the pool table.(those that would wrinkle). There was a small hanger device on the door to use if you had a few coat hangers. There were none. The tub spout downstairs needs replacing because its shower function ring no longer functions well and takes excessive force to make it resume tub mode (should be automatic). I own one just like it so I know how it is supposed to work. Hot tub light is non functional but hot tub works great otherwise. I would also add a couple of chairs to the bottom balcony. All of these are “nits” and overall did little to diminish the enjoyment of our stay.
We would stay again. We had a good time in the area and enjoyed our stay. There are some nearby places to eat too, but it is not a stressful drive to get to pigeon Forge if you want lots of options.

Thank you for your detailed review! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and liked the cabin overall. We appreciate your feedback about the spiral staircase and the storage options. We’re always looking for ways to improve our guests’ experience.
We'll definitely look into the tub spout and the hot tub light to ensure everything is functioning properly. Your suggestion for adding chairs to the bottom balcony is a great idea, too! We’re happy to know that these “nits” didn’t overshadow your time with us, and we would love to welcome you back in the future. Safe travels, and thank you for choosing to stay with us!
