I found this charming cabin to be immaculate, private, quiet with a breathtaking long range view from it’s spacious front porch swing and rocking chairs. I slept like a baby.My hosts exemplified southernhospitality passed down from the Scotch Irish pioneers who settled these ancient NC mountains. I will definitely return.

We had a great stay here with our kids for Easter break. It is the perfect location for exploring the Smokey Mountains and surrounding forests. Everything about the property is as listed and there were no surprises. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to make a great meal, and there were plenty of towels, sheets, pillows, and blankets to go around. The neighborhood was quiet and relaxed. We would definitely stay again!
