We loved our cabin. The road up to the cabin is just a gravel road, just go slow and it is fine. Very nice cabin, it is close to everything you need but you are still in the forest. I loved the screened in porch, the chairs were comfy and they rocked. So peaceful. We drove around and shopped and ate a late lunch then came back to the cabin and played cards.

Quiet cabin

Clean place, beds were comfy. Upstairs bunk bed need work as they creak and move alot. Everytime my teens rolled over on the bunks I could hear it below in the master bedroom. Watched a bear and deer roam through while sitting on the screened in back deck. It was a nice quiet place, close to town. We enjoyed our stay!

Secluded and Serene.

Nice little cabin in the woods, clean and ready with everything you need for your vacation. We only really stayed here to sleep, because we were exploring the area in and around the Smoky Mountains. My only concern was that we stayed in the downstairs bedroom and all the sounds from upstairs could be heard. The host Jeremy was very responsive and overall it was a very pleasant experience. Thank you.

GREAT EASTER break!!

We stayed over the Easter holiday/spring break. The house was clean and accommodated our family. The kitchen was well equipped and we ate many meals around the table. The grill was spotless and we cooked sausage and then s' mores! The washer and dryer came in very handy. The home was located between our family who lives in Maryville and the Gatlinburg area. This made it very easy to visit as well as find lots to do. The owners provided us with information about local hikes and shopping. Very nice stay! Thank you for sharing your home with us.
