Enjoyed our stay!
We enjoyed Lil Ponderosa because it was spotless and we felt at home immediately. We slept well in the king sized bed that is super comfortable. The location is in between Maryville and Knoxville which worked perfectly for our trip. We can’t wait to stay on the property again. Great experience.

great weekend!
we had a great weekend at little ponderosa! the listing was exactly as listed in the description. it was exceptionally clean, and it is obvious that the owners/crew take very good care of it because not only this cabin, but the entire property was very well maintained/manicured. the stocked pond was a big hit for our group and we were able to catch and release a lot of fish. we also enjoyed sitting on the front porch swing/rockers. it feels very secluded, but we were still able to get to downtown knoxville in 15-20 minutes. there are other cabins on the property, but there is plenty of privacy at this cabin. we travel to east TN frequently, so we hope to be back in the future!

Perfect
These owners are exceptional! Everything you need is in the right spot when it comes to bath, kitchen, cooking, etc…. The cabin is so peaceful and beautiful. Sit on the front porch in the morning for your cup of coffee and take it all in. Or relax in the evening in the clean soothing hot tub! It’s times like these you make family memories enjoying the space, taking walks, soaking in the hot tub together. This is definitely the best Vrbo we have been to just for its serenity and feel. You’ll love it I promise!

The Little Ponderosa is a peaceful retreat. We enjoyed mornings on the porch swing listening to the rooster and watching the sunrise. There are lots of activities in the cabin and on site and it is close to Knoxville. We hope to be back.

Great little hidden gem!!
The Lil Ponderosa was a great place to stay. Originally I was worried it might be a bit far from where we’d be spending most of our time (the UT campus area) but it was actually only a 10-15 min drive, depending on the time of day. The cabin was clean and quaint and had all of the amenities you could want! And we loved hanging out with the barn kitty! We would definitely stay again.

UTK Drop Off
We selected this unique property as a home base for our UTK Freshman drop off weekend.
We wanted something that was a little quieter and unique. Given the nature of our trip we didn't get to experience the great property it is on, but the cabin was perfect for our needs!
An easy 15 min drive into town and a quiet escape at the end of the day!
Would definitely stay again!
