Location Location Location

Walk into Gatlinburg or sit on the back deck and watch the bears come out of the Smoky National Park. Or maybe watch a family of turkeys cruise by. The cabin has a generator in case the power goes out.

You won’t be disappointed with this 2 bedroom cabin. 1 short mile to downtown Gatlinburg.

This cabin is situated between the park and Anakeesta.

Dogs are welcome but are 50 extra and billed the day before your vacation.

I cannot say enough about how pleased I was with this cabin. Super nice, so clean, private, adorable. Both bedrooms have its own bathroom. Great pace for the kids to watch tv and have a trundle bed on the landing. Plenty of space for the 5 of us. Great sitting outside space for relaxing. Just a great place all the way around. I will definitely book here again. Such a great experience.

Booking the cabin and getting access to it was great! Chris communicated everything we needed to know. The cabin is located in a perfect spot, easy to get downtown. The cabin itself was great, everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable! Will try to book it next time we come up.

The property is clean and so very cute. The beds are comfortable. There are plenty of bath towels and bed linens. There is definitely a nature vibe with almost daily visits from the neighborhood bear despite being walkable distance to downtown. The road does have a sharp turn and a low lying cable; so be aware if driving an RV like we were. The host was accessible for any questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We have stayed in many rentals over the years. This house is absolutely in the top three of our favorites! It is absolutely darling. It is even better than the photos and description in the listing. We stayed a week. Chris was wonderful in responding to any questions we had during our stay. The house is in such a perfect location. If the Gatlinburg strip is your thing, it is super close, but far enough away that you don't hear noise, even cars and motorcycles. The proximity to the GSMNP cannot be better. During our stay we were fortunate to see three bears (literally in the yard, on the driveway, and walking up the middle of the street). We also saw coyote pups, turkeys, and a bobcat. Sitting on the porch you feel like you are in the park. We will definitely be back, and will stay at this house.

Great basecamp for hiking LeConte

Spent two nights at the cabin on either side of a big hike this weekend. The proximity to the trailhead and to Gatlinburg’s restaurants were a big plus, and the hot tub was clutch for soaking our weary bodies. The sleeping options were good for us (and could have accommodated four or five). Didn’t see any bears this time, but it sounds like we just as easily could have. Great spot for our needs.

The house was located close to downtown Gatlinburg but still quiet. The description was a little dated as the home no longer showed signs of a fire pit and a lot of the signs and decor are down in thewas prompt with check in instructions and information. I know the homeowner isn’t directly responsib

I am not allowed to have a fire pit per city guidelines. There isn’t enough space. Your comment that pictures and signage is not correct. No pictures are missing. You must be thinking of a different property.

Cute cabin

It was exactly like the post! Cute 2 bedroom with a loft. Plenty of beds for the size! Super close to town. We literally walked down the hill. However still far enough that it's quiet! We loved our stay. Extra dishes, towels, and even small toiletries in case you forgot something. Communication was good too! We would stay there again!

5 Star Cabin

This cabin is very close to downtown but you feel like it’s deep in the mountain. Chris called the night before we arrived to let us know how to get in and tell us about the cabin. We text him a couple times during our stay and his response was within seconds. The cabin is extremely clean and furniture is well maintained. We enjoyed the peacefulness of the back porch. We would definitely return.

Amazing cabin!

My husband and I LOVED our stay in the cabin. Not only is it so incredibly peaceful and calm, but we got to enjoy the wildlife around us! Sadly we didn’t see any bear during our week stay, but got to see 3 coyotes run around! The cabin is just as described, very clean, well stocked, easy access. There is a great hot tub in the screened in back patio with views of the national park. A park grill right outside the back door. Chris is super responsive to any questions or concerns and is such a nice guy! We cannot wait for our next stay in this cabin!
