Our yard is big and level enough to handle V-ball, soccer, football or /what ever you bring as a hobby.
We have acres of pleasant walking areas for private exercise and time for strolling to relax and gather your thoughts. Private, Quiet and Convenient.

The little cabin was perfect! It was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Set back with amazing views of the property and mountains. We sat in the sunroof every morning and drank our coffee and ate dinners just looking at the views. The owner is super friendly and offers insights on food and things to do around the area. Will be booking again!!!

This listing is just as described, and so much better! What a peaceful and relaxing week I had. The cottage was the perfect size for me and my little dog. She and I both lived in the sunroom, with the big, comfortable chair, floor to ceiling windows and beautiful views. Perfect little cottage.To property is very welcoming and inviting. There are several sitting places outside also, and my dog loved the big dog run.The owner checked in with me upon arrival to make sure everything was to my satisfaction.

It was the perfect weekend getaway. Our hosts were so thoughtful that they even had a small cake for my husband’s birthday waiting in the fridge. The cottage is so quaint and cozy and the view from the sunroom is breathtaking. We loved bringing our dog and there was even a large yard for him to run free in. The property is peaceful and relaxing. It exceeded our expectations.

Peaceful and Serene

Great place to stay for a romantic getaway. Quiet and peaceful with GREAT views. We saw deer most every morning and evening, the Smoky Mountain views are great and seeing fireflies in the early evening brought back childhood memories. The cabin is nicely decorated and you have what you need to prepare meals. Our hosts David and Jennifer were wonderful.
