Graduation weekend
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your lovely cabin! It was a perfect location for our family to get to and from UT for graduation festivities. The cabin has a lot to offer from the hot tub, the pool table, and the games which our family all enjoyed using. The cabin is surrounded by a very peaceful environment and we loved sitting on the porch. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. I would highly recommend this property if you are looking to stay close to the university and the airport.

My family enjoyed our stay during the Christmas holiday. Brandi and Kevin are excellent hosts with great attention to details that make your stay special. We were delighted to arrive and find the cabin beautifully decorated for Christmas with a container of homemade fudge and card from the hosts. The cabin was well stocked and had everything we could possibly need during our stay. The property and grounds are amazing. We enjoyed the fishing pond and walks around the property.

Beautiful cabin in a convenient location close to airport and downtown. Only 51 min to Dollywood.
Very clean and comfortable! 3 BRs with queens and a king and each with its own full bath. The pool table and gameroom were perfect for us and we brought our own dice games and cards. The dining table fit all 6 us comfortably without the leaf. Would stay here again! Thanks!

Brandi and Kevin and family have really put together a wonderful property for their guests to enjoy. They obviously put alot of thought into it as just about everything you would need is provided! From quality toiletries to indoor and outdoor entertainment, like pool tables, video games, horse shoes and cornhole just to name a few. Really, you won't even need to leave the cabin!

Better than Expected and We expected A Lot!!
A truly incredible experience! Great communication the entire time and very personal as well. We need to make some changes and the owner was very accommodating. As far as the property, it exceeded expectations. The Ponderosa is a 16 acre serene wooded property with a few well appointed log cabins, a small pond absolutely filled with fish, nature trails, and lots of other activities (tetherball, cornhole, horseshoes, hammocks, fire pits, etc.). It is close to down town Knoxville but you truly feel like you are way out in the country. We stayed in the Big Hoss cabin and it was perfect! EXTREMELY comfortable beds! Fantastic game room! Hot tub on a wrap around deck with swings and lots of sitting. Too much to list! Gas grill came in handy and we even cooked on the fire pit! Lots of fun! My son caught seven bass in two days and these were pretty good size. SOOOOO RELAXING! Thanks so much for a beautiful stay!
