Wonderful cabin, amenities are great, host checked on us throughout to ensure everything was fine or if they could help in any way. Lovely area to relax
No issues or negative comments. The cabin was great value for the money. Communication was great. Cabin was clean and well arranged. The hot tub was much appreciated after a long day.
Great time enjoying the snow! Neighborhood plows so roads cleared up quickly (enough for 4 wheel drive at least). Comfortable house with warm fireplaces and the hot tub was a hit. Bunk room was perfect for our young kids.
Me and my friends had a great time at this cabin. It was very clean and well supplied. The check in process was very simple and we got in without a problem. There isn’t too much to do around the area, but the mountains surrounding the property are gorgeous.
This is a wonderful experience for me and my family. Very convenient to the Smokies, lots of space, all the tech that we need to be comfortable. Five stars.
Amazing place, very clean, well kept up, peaceful, comfortable beds, everything needed is provided!!
Host stayed in contact, provided all information needed and answered any questions immediately!!
Best place we’ve ever stayed using VRBO!!
Highly recommended
Had an amazing time with just a couple issues. First the hot tub had WAY too much chlorine, to the point we both ended up with chlorine rashes. Second was the grill ran out of propane while cooking second night. Gated community was extremely nice and we would stay again.

Thank you for your review, Robby! We assure you our hot tub is chemically tested in between each stay and we’re sorry you didn’t find it satisfactory. Since we can’t change the grill’s propane tank in between each stay, we are always more than happy to reimburse any guest that needs to have it refilled, which is in our guidebook as well. Thank you for being a great guest!
My wife and I spent 5 days here. Very clean!. Off the beaten path but still pretty easy to get to. Paved road all the way. Everything functioned as it should. Fair warning, there is no cell service at the cabin. You will need to use internet calling. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and fireplace in the bedroom. Great cabin, great location, great weekend, great owners!
This is a great little cabin, and we enjoyed our stay over the Christmas break. We especially enjoyed the master bedroom and hot tub. The beds and couches were comfortable, the hot tub was well maintained, and the grill was a nice bonus!We spend a week in a cabin in the mountains every year, so we're probably a little more picky than most, but there are a few things that kept it from being a five star cabin for us. Things weren't as stocked as we would have hoped. The day we arrived we went ahead and bought hand soap, paper towels, and toilet paper, because it was clearly not stocked for our week stay. Also, I feel like the number and quality of towels needs improvement. Our family of 5 struggled to have enough towels for showers and the hot tub. A crock pot/slow cooker of some kind would be nice as well.All of the beds were a bit wobbly as well. The bunk beds were a bit unstable as the kids climbed on the top bunk and the queen bed rattled against the wall a bit, but the biggest issue is that the master bed is pressed against the light switch and makes a loud squeak if anyone moves on the bed. It was a challenge to maintain discretion at times. I ended up wedging a washcloth between the bed post and the wall on both the master bed and the queen bed, and now I'm wondering if I removed those before we left. Hmm...I feel like all of these are very small issues that could be easily resolved. In any event, they didn't prevent us from having a wonderful vacation!
This property was as listed and the hosts checked in periodically to make sure we were enjoying the trip and the accommodations were appropriate. Any questions I had were answered very fast. I would recommend this property and owners. The hot tub was very clean, as well!
