Wonderful cabin, great location

The cabin is located off the parkway, nearly equal distance between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Although there are other cabins nearby, it feels secluded enough that we were only reminded there were neighbors while we were heading out the door. The cabin is spacious, and exactly as described.
