The cabin was beautiful, clean, and the bed was amazing. The driveway was very steep (22) but it wasn’t too terrible in a truck. We got to see 6 bears while we were there!

This was our first experience renting outside of hotels, and it was incredible. Sophia was attentive, answered our questions quickly, and was so kind and helpful. The place was perfect! So cozy and clean and in the most perfect area. SO much wildlife. It was an amazing experience.

Excellent cabin (if you don't mind steep driveways)

This was our second time to stay here and we couldn't have been more pleased. The fact that there are two woodburning fireplaces is what keeps us coming back. The location is fantastic also. The hosts were very quick to respond to our needs during our stay, so we will definitely be back again!

This cabin has so much going for it.Pros:- Great layout with main living space on first floor and entire second floor as main bedroom- Laundry and kitchen well stocked (although not a single seasoning or oil, even salt and pepper, were there. We shopped for groceries and ate in several times. Fridge ice maker works!)- Bed had cushy topper some people may love but we removed it and found the mattress very comfy on its own.- Hot tub available on deck- Driveway has 2 spots, enabling you to turn around for ease of exit.- Beautiful area on the mountain with sunrise views if you walk up and down the street. An obstructed view is visible out of the upstairs bedroom.- TVs worked well and had cable networks as well as streaming.Cons:- Humidity in the cabin was above 80% our entire stay, which owner says is normal in the area so we can't fault them. It was just challenging that our boots wouldn't dry after getting wet during a rainy hike.- Sheets were synthetic, which we find makes it difficult to regulate body temp and get a good sleep. Would have preferred cotton or at least notice so we could have brought cotton sheets.- Driveway is super steep (standard for the area) and even our SUV labored to get up but we are also not accustomed to this steep of a slope. The roads leading to the cabin are also windy with blind hills and steep drop-offs on the sides. Say your prayers and cross your fingers. :) We were still happy to avoid the congestion of downtown Gatlinburg.
