Peaceful Getaway

This property lacked nothing! It’s cozy, convenient and esp nice the bike/walking trail is a few steps away. The main road is near but noise was not a problem and it was quiet for sleeping. The carport is handy and only a couple of steps into the house. The porch and backyard are great. The beds are super comfy and the kitchen was stocked! I’ve never had anyone leave eggs and butter :) Missy was very kind and accommodating - don’t hesitate to book with her!

My family and i had a great time staying here! The house was decorated for Christmas and was very cute. The owner was super responsive to all of our (many) questions. It was 4 minutes from the entrance to the national park. Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg were a short drive through thr mountains away. It was close to everything without being crazy busy. I highly recommend.

Home away from home

I wanted to stay in a house as opposed to a hotel. The host had a very well-equipped kitchen. Although we never opened the wine it was a nice gesture. It was a chance to get away from the Florida weather. I would stay there again if I was to get back to Tennessee.

Perfection!!

My sister and I wanted a place to relax and regroup after a death in our family, and we both needed good wifi to work a little. Missy was the absolute best hostess, and her home was perfect in every way. The decor was phenomenal, and she thought of EVERYTHING we could possibly need. We’ll be back Missy. Thank you!! The Greenberg Girls!

Awesome

This is a very cozy home. Very Clean and updated without losing the charm of what is was over 100 years ago. The host is very detailed on appointing the kitchen and bathrooms of her properties. If you are cooking or grilling at home you will not have to go out looking for cookware or utensils. The outdoor was also set up to do just that to enjoy the outdoor property. Truely a gem of vacation rental's.
