Will stay again!

We absolutely loved staying at this property! It is very roomy as we had 5 adults and 1 child. It was very clean when we arrived and the homeowners were very easy to get in touch with. The location is only a very short drive to get to the main strip of Pigeon Forge. We would absolutely stay here again when we return!

Watching wildlife

Our favorite thing was sitting on the porch and watching all the wildlife, including two bears.There were plenty of games for entertainment and very close to all the activities in Pigeon Forge. We really enjoyed it.My only issue was being handicapped and taking a shower. A shower head on a hose would be perfect.

Close enough....but not too close

Love the location. Close enough to not have LONG drives, but far enough to enjoy the country. Amazing house. Met all of our needs and then some. Great communication with home owner. Kept it simple, you gotta love that. To anyone interested in visiting the area, this is the place to stay. I know I will be back!

Relax enjoy

Easy to get to. Not far from major strip, pizza, groceriy stores. Loved sitting on front porch in morning and at night. Quiet with small wildlife. Every morning watched a male and female cardnal. Saw hawks, butterflies, humming bird and fireflies at night in the back yard. Games were fun. Water always hot, kept AC on 75 always cool.the small bedroom was fine size wise, only sleep there. Hosts were very accomidating and understanding of all our needs. Will be back.

The cabin was really great. Our group has been friends for 55 years. Each of us had a room, plenty of room to cook and play cards. Close to restaurants and activities without having to go into pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg. Really really enjoyed our stay. Easy to find. Host was most gracious with any problems we had. We’ll stay again.

Reunion

Stayed here with another family that we haven’t seen in a year. Cabin was perfect for a mini reunion, plenty of neat additives to the cabin. Really appreciate it the “give a little take a little” cupboards and drawers. Cute little recipe swap going on in the kitchen. We were happy with our stay. Hope to make this a tradition.

Truly a hidden gem…

This home truly was a hidden gem. It’s quaintly tucked away just off wears valley providing plenty of refuge from the hustle and bustle while allowing perfect access to the fun in town. We travel to this area frequently and typically stay somewhere new each year. This was such a great stay! The owners were prompt to communicate and reached out to check on us a few times. We really appreciated that. The home was exactly as depicted and looked exactly like the photos. I loved sitting on the front porch enjoying my coffee each morning. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed in regards to pots, pans, utensils, etc. Although we didn’t cook as much as we’d planned because we were too busy running around enjoying ourselves. The backyard area and fire pit were perfectly kept. The hot tub was a hit with our adult kids. They also had a cute little option to take or leave a recipe on the recipe cards. Such a cute little home nestled in the heart of the area. I cannot say enough good things about this place. We will be back. ❤️ To the hosts, thank you for providing an affordable option for families. Your home is wonderful.

Convenient

Everything was great but 3 out of the 5 beds was very uncomfortable. They sagged and seemed on the older side. So instead of having a bed for everyone we had to double up and no one really got a good nights rest. The cabin itself was very quaint and clean. Very Close to Pigeon Forge so it was very convenient for our stay. The cabin was fully stocked and ready.

We had a quick extended weekend trip. The location of this property is perfect. No steep hills and spacious parking. (Make sure you take the route from the Parkway). We had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and memorable.
