Great cabin! Sitting on the two covered porches made you feel like you were back in your childhood tree fort. The hot tube was awesome after hiking and playing all day. The kitchen was well equipped and functional. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Everything was clean and smelled fresh rather than sterile. The host communicated early, well, and was friendly. The kitchen had enough dinnerware and utensils to make everything comfortable. Plenty of bath towels were provided. There were a few hangers in the closet which was great since that's something I didn't consider while packing for the trip!The cabin and the lot was gorgeous!! Nestled in the mountains, you could hear the stream running alongside the property. Very scenic! There's a little country store selling essentials and pizza very nearby, basically "in the neighborhood" which was convenient when we just needed sugar and bottled water vs driving into town.Bears were active in the area but not troublesome. They do seem to just walk right on down the paved road so definitely keep the garbage in the bear-proof bins securely and keep food out of your car. Great experience here and the cabin was quaint and comfortable. I would choose it again if we return to the area.

We enjoyed our stay very much and really took advantage of the hot tub and fire pit daily. We had bears visit the cabin during our stay as well. It was the perfect distance away from the hustle and bustle. The main problem were the ants. This time of year they come out heavy so I understand but they were a bit overwhelming in the kitchen area.

Was a lovely property with all we needed to enjoy the March surroundings. The hot tub was amazing while it snowed. Very clean. Would just recommend to bring a couple extra blankets in the colder weather season, especially if you are a person whom gets cold easily. That being said the heat did wonders for keeping you warm. Great experience!! Thank you

We loved staying at the cabin!! It is in a great location and close to all the places we wanted to go to. Great communication regarding what would be available to us and what we would need to bring as far as supplies. Definitely in an area where you will get to see bears up close 🙂.

Incredible location just 10 minutes up the mountain from the Smoky Mountain Park exit. We had luck on our drive up, as we received snow due to the elevation of the mountain. We also saw a family of bears who got incredibly close, walking around the porch outside the cabin. Make sure to secure that food!The host provides about 1/4 cord of firewood to burn, which kept the accommodation nice and toasty. It was incredible. Pigeon Forge is also just 15-25 minutes away, traffic depending. Overall a fantastic, cute experience. We didn't want to leave!Will be planning to stay here again.
