We loved the cabin! The pool, air hockey table, and games made for great family entertainment. The cabin is secluded but only a few miles from all the attractions. The host was quick to answer any questions we had. We will be back!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you loved the cabin and were able to enjoy all the amenities—from the pool to the games, it sounds like the perfect family getaway 😊
One of our favorite things about the property is that balance of feeling tucked away while still being close to everything, so we’re thrilled that stood out to you. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we truly appreciate your kind words about our communication.
We can’t wait to welcome you back for another stay!
Our stay was wonderful and would stay there over and over again! The hosts had good communication and prompt responses!

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re so glad you had a wonderful stay and that our communication and responsiveness helped make your trip smooth and enjoyable. It truly means a lot to hear you’d stay again — you’re welcome back anytime, and we’d love to host you again on your next visit to the Smokies!
The stay was amazing. All of the amenities were exactly as advertised. The hot tub was interesting. It was lukewarm on the first night, pretty cold on the second night and extremely warm and the perfect temperature on the third night. Loved the cabin overall, be mindful that the driveway is very steep entering the cabin.

Thank you so much for the great review—we’re so glad you had an amazing stay and that everything matched what you were expecting!
We really appreciate you calling out the hot tub experience. That’s definitely not the consistency we aim for, and we’ll be checking on it to make sure it’s dialed in and ready to go for future guests. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
And yes—the driveway can be a bit of an adventure! It’s part of that tucked-away mountain feel, but we always recommend taking it slow, especially on arrival.
We’d love to host you again anytime!
Such a great rental with everything you would need and very clean. The only issue we ran into was the hot tub wasn't hot but more like lukewarm. Other than that everything was perfect.

Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re so glad you found the cabin clean, well stocked, and equipped with everything you needed — that’s exactly the experience we aim to provide.
For future guests, we do want to clarify that the indoor spa heats to a maximum of 100°F, as noted in the listing. It operates on a timed heating system (similar to many hotel spas) and must be activated in advance to reach full temperature. We also include a step-by-step video in our digital guidebook that walks through how to turn on the heating cycle.
We truly appreciate you staying with us and would love to host you again!
Cabin was a little smaller than it appeared in the photos but overall we had an amazing experience here.

Thank you for your feedback and kind review. I’m so glad you had a great experience and enjoyed your stay. The cabin’s square footage is listed in the description to help give guests a clear idea of the space, but I really appreciate your note and am happy it still worked well for your group.
The hosts were great! Lots of helpful communication. The house is gorgeous with all the amenities. Beautiful outdoor views of the trees surround the house, so quiet and peaceful. Thank you Jaime & Mike, we enjoyed our stay.

Family Winter Mini Vacation
The cabin was perfect for our family of 5 (2 adults, 16M, 14F, 9M). The three levels provided enough space for my kids to choose to play air hockey together or have alone time in their own area. While there were only three beds, never underestimate the willingness of a teenage boy to sleep on a pullout couch near the TV when he has his PlayStation hooked up. The pool area was very fun; it ranged from an area to sit to 4.5 ft deep.
It was a very pleasant stay! Quiet and clean! Pool was a great thing for kiddos on down time! Had all the amenities! Definitely recommend!

We had a great stay. Very secluded and peaceful, yet close to everything. The host was very nice and super quick to respond to any questions! The place itself was very accommodating with pretty much everything you may need!

Amazing place! Owners are amazing. Very clean. Close to all attractions but still secluded. We loved the hot tub and pool. The bed was cozy. The back porches are very nice. The only downfall was the the driveway. It’s very steep and there’s barely room to turn around once you get in. Two cabins share the same drive and it’s tough to navigate especially in a full size truck.
My family really enjoyed staying here. Great location also.

We were overall impressed with our stay! A few minor things we noticed while there was the upstairs smelt like dog and the main level had quite a bit of dog hair on the floors. Overall we had a great stay!

Overall everything was great even when the AC wasn’t working good the owner got us a window unit and some fans the next morning and only thing I would have to say that the road to the cabin is steep

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your stay overall and that our team was able to get fans and a window unit out quickly to keep you comfortable. Mountain cabins do come with steep roads at times, but we love that they lead to the best views and quiet retreats. We’d be happy to welcome you back anytime!
Overall the property was good but there are some issues you may want to be aware of. First, I didn't know the property was on a narrow one lane road that would be almost impossible for two cars to pass in some areas. Second, the driveway is very steep. I spun my tires nearly everytime I went up and the pavement was dry. Both of these issues made me limit the number of times I came and went from the property. Third, the floors squeak in different areas to the point that it became annoying. The master bedroom especially was an issue walking to and from the bathroom during the night. Fourth, the heated pool and hot tub didn't work the best. One time it seemed to work okay but others not so much. I found a pool thermometer and it only got in the mid to high 80s in the hot tub. There was one significant safety issue we encountered during our stay. We lost power while my family was in the pool. I have three young kids and this really scared them. I had to slowly navigate my way out of the pool room to find my phone for light where the rest could get out safely. There needs to be some sort of emergency lighting in that area for this reason. We also soon found out that the well is on an electric pump while my wife was covered in soap in the shower. I messaged the owner asking for flashlights and was told they were there but we only found one that was almost dead. We were in the dark for hours. Another issue some may like to know is there are alot of stink bugs in the upstairs area.
This cabin was a huge hit with my adult children and my young ones too. We really didn’t go anywhere as our goal was to spend quality time, and the cabin with games and indoor pool made it fun and possible to just hang and relax. We will be back!! :)

Why they chose this property
It was love at first sight with these cabins! Traveling with a multi-generational crew the layout of these cabins allows for us to travel together and have space privacy for each family. We love the fact that these cabins are on nearly 5 acres, with plenty to explore, and can be rented together or separately. These cabins hold sentimental value in that the logs that are in this cabin came from the sawmill that my grandfather and uncle ran when Jaime was a child. Once we learned this fact, we knew it was meant to be!
What makes this property unique
This property is secluded and private, yet 5 minutes from the parkway and the outlet mall!
