We stayed in early fall, the cabin is a very short walk to the river/swimming hole. The location is beautiful and off the main drag so it’s quiet. The cabin itself is a historic cabin so it’s not 100% modern but has all basic necessities. The only negative thing I would say is that the couch is a bit old and there isn’t very much comfortable seating in the living room area. I would definitely stay here again.

Overall this was a very good property. I enjoyed the location and the Cabin. The bathroom was very small and hard to navigate with my recent knee replacement and the steps entering the cabin were also a problem for me. the Bed could have been more comfortable. However, I would happily stay there again. I truly enjoyed the distance from the city crowds. the management company was very easy to work with.

Best place in Gatlinburg

Polite staff, clean cabin, semi-private river access, short drive to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Overall easily labeled as the best place to stay when visiting the area not to mention no loud neighbors on the other side of a thin wall like you find in hotels

Location was great. Cabin could stand for a few extra blankets due to the huge gap under front door. It was a bit dusty but it is a cabin.

Smaller than it appears

The place is very clean, but the pictures make it look larger than it is. But still nice. It is grouped with several other cabins around but it was quiet. With there being so much to do in the area we were really only there to sleep.

Rustic Cabin in the Woods

Its a charming Rustic cabin. There are not a lot of modern touches. The kitchen is not very well stocked. The beds were fairly comfortable and the rooms have their own heaters, which was nice for the cold nights. However, I do believe it was listed as waterfront, and unless it is peak flood season, this cabin is not on the water.

Anniversary trip

Location was nice but the photos were a bit misleading as I assumed the rental was directly on the water. The mildew problem really needs to be addressed. It smells so strongly that my Cpap smells so bad from being there. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay and would love to come back but stay on the cabin two doors down on the corner of the property

Nice Little Getaway

Convenient to many shops and attractions. Just a few steps to what was a "river" that our grandson loved to play in. Rivers are measured in miles wide where we are from not feet. Although yours is much cleaner. 😃 It would have been nice to have a little mop with the broom, and a shelf in the shower would have been nice, but thats just me. Not a problem it just would be nice. Electrical needs to be upgraded. Had to hunt and find three-prong outlets, but we just had to rearrange where we chose to sit or who needed the outlets. Straight and flat roads to get there. All-in-all a nice little place. This will definitely be on our list when we return to the area.
