We stayed at another one of our hosts cabins a couple years ago. It was great then and great now. Cabin was clean and well furnished. Definitely recommend this as a nice getaway.
Loved the peaceful location. The big sliding back doors gave a great view of the wooded area behind the cabin. It also made it very convenient when taking our furry friend out for his restroom breaks. The cabin was clean and well laid out. Look to stay there another time.
Wonderful pet-friendly cabin near all the activities we enjoyed during our stay. Very comfortable accommodations with everything needed for a relaxing vacation! All the extra touches made us feel “at home” and would highly recommend.
Cabin was very clean, cozy, and very convenient to where we wanted to visit. Had everything we needed for cooking meals. Bed and furniture very comfortable. Have zero complaints. Highly recommend this cabin for anyone's next vacation.
Very clean and comfortable cabin. Convenient location for visiting the Great Smoky Mountains park. Quiet setting and good paved roads all the way to the cabin. Well equipped kitchen and bathrooms. Comfortable beds.
Overall this was a lovely place to stay and we enjoyed our time there. Cleanliness could be improved and some extra blankets would have been helpful during the winter season. (There was only one). The kitchen was well-stocked and I didn’t need most of the kitchen items I brought from home to make Christmas dinner.
