Our stay at this home was absolutely perfect for both us and our pups! The highlight was easily the fully fenced yard, which was secure and spacious enough for the dogs to run freely while we relaxed on the porch. It is so rare to find a rental where you can truly let your guard down knowing the yard is pet-safe.The home itself was cozy, clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a week long getaway. If you are looking for a stress-free, dog-friendly retreat, I cannot recommend this place enough. Mathew was a great host as usual and we'll be returning again next year!!

This place has it all! A hard-to-find, one-level home with an incredibly well-stocked kitchen, immaculate housekeeping, plentiful and comfortable furnishings, fenced-in yard, screened-in porch, etc. You can tell the owners take pride in this home. The area is super quiet and peaceful. The owners messaged us to make sure all was good and if we needed anything. Will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful time at this lovely, amazing cabin. First of all, it was extremely clean when we arrived. It is spacious and has a true mountain feel when you walk in. It is well stocked with everything you need. The location is fabulous! If you don’t like driving up a steep mountain road, then this cabin is definitely for you. Golden Oaks is easy to access, something that was important to me. Also, I loved the large outdoor area. The host was very friendly and responsive. I have stayed in many cabins in the Smoky Mts and this one was by far the best!!

About the host

Hosted by Mathew Knight

Host profile image
We love to travel and take in what destinations have to offer with our kids. We love to be able to balance being active on vacation with relaxing. We are excited to be able to host you at our cabin! - Mathew and Sara

Why they chose this property

It's in a very peaceful setting yet close enough to all that the area has to offer no matter what you are looking for.

What makes this property unique

We love being so close to one of the back door entrances to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is convenient and less busy. Having such a peaceful setting with access to a great pool and fishing pond is wonderful. Also being a short drive from all that Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Townsend have to offer is very convenient.
