❛❛ Unit was very well kept and spotless in comparison to others that are offered in the same area. Beautiful area and when we needed assistance late at night we were met with prompt assistance with a resolution found within minutes. Can’t thank the owners enough. ❜❜ (Eric)



❛❛ Beautiful quiet location and only minutes from Maryville & mountains. Very clean and well kept rental. Cooking supplies in kitchen were great along with a good assortment of spices which we appreciated. Loved sitting on the private back deck and enjoying the firefly’s as they began twinkling. Property was beautiful and we enjoyed walking around exploring. ❜❜ (Lisa)



❛❛ Forest Bliss was amazing and perfect to accommodate what we were looking for. Set up like a studio, but plenty of space for the two of us to feel comfortable and not cramped at all. It felt more like a hotel with all of the extra amenities in the bathroom, but the homey touches of staying at a friend’s house. Very comfortable bed and beautifully decorated with lots of views. We really appreciated all of the local recommendations and wish we had more time to explore the property and use the fire pit - we will be revisiting for sure! If you come from city living, the house may feel more remote; it’s about 20 minutes to get to most restaurants and shops but there’s a Dollar General 7-8 mins away for any last minute shopping. Close to Tail of the Dragon, and if you have a lowered car you will have no issues getting in/out of the property. We could comfortably make day trips to Knoxville and Gatlinburg as well. We loved this home and can’t wait to revisit again soon! ❜❜ (Bridget)
