Lovely quiet place. We had everything we needed. The pond was pretty. The lake a mile up the road had a nice swimming dock. We saw a momma bear and two cubs in our driveway one morning. Beautiful cabin. Nice layout.

The cabin was very clean & easily accessible to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park! Highly recommend taking in the view from Lookout Rock, which about 5 minute drive or so! Communication with the hostess was outstanding too. Really, you couldn’t ask for more. The WiFi at the cabin was very acceptable & I was able to log into my YouTube TV account to watch TV at night. I definitely would consider staying there again.

We loved this property! The pictures did not do this place justice because it was actually WAY better than portrayed. Great set up for our trip. Amenities were top notch, and I love the fact that numerous common items you always forget are already on site making stress just melt away. We used this as a motorcycle homebase, be careful on the driveway entrance as the gravel poses some challenges but not a complaint. Close to Dragon and Parkway makes the location ideal.A

This was one of best experiences I have had with rental stays!! The house was amazing, both gorgeous and cozy, super clean, pretty much every item you'd find at home was available and easy to find as everything was labeled. Communication from the host was top-notch, very speedy replies, including specific information and resources as our stay coincided with a winter weather warning. We will definitely plan to stay here again!

Four ladies and a dog! We converged from Alaska, Colorado, Montana and South Carolina for a trip to explore and experience Tennessee. We picked a great place to just be and to travel out and explore from. We hiked a couple trails close to the house. Gold Mine Trail and Look Rock. We took a day trip to Townsend and the Tuckaleechee Caverns. It was an awesome tour and we really enjoyed the people at the Little River Pub and Deli! If you are a quilter stop in and see the Twisted Sisters Quilt Shop and Mountain Creek Quilt Shop in Maryville. The cabin has lots of room, super comfy, and has all you need to cook up meals. The firepit and the hot tub were a great place to sit and reminisce our well grown friendships!
