The property was very clean and ready for our arrival, porch lights on and towels set out. The driveway is steep so don't slow down. Very quiet cabin. Hot tub is very nice. Had everything we needed for the 4 days in June we were there. AC worked great! We stayed out all day and made sure to be back before sunset, not a fan of driving in mountains after dark. Easy to contact hosts with quick replies. Great stay!

This is our second stay at this cabin, and we can't wait to come back again. Peaceful and secluded but just mere minutes from Town and GSMNP. Wildlife is abundant, views can't be beat and it's just the right size for the two of us!
