Our stay here was great. The amenities were very much enjoyed by our family of 5, and the cabin itself was comfortable and clean. The host really seemed to think of everything, and the cabin felt ready for us when we arrived (even the hot tub was ready to go!).

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re really happy to hear that the cabin was comfortable for your family and that you enjoyed the amenities. We always try to make sure everything is ready for a smooth and relaxing arrival, so it’s great to know the hot tub hit the spot! We’d love to welcome you back anytime you’re in the area.
Great cabin with awesome deck and spa. Gps took me in the back way at night, so was relieved to find an easier route to town next day. Traffic was horrible in town, and people speed by the cabin, but really appreciated staying away from the crowds in this cozy cabin.

We’re so glad you enjoyed the cabin and the deck and spa! It’s great that you were able to find an easier route to town—mountain roads can definitely be tricky at night. We’re happy you appreciated the peace and quiet while still being close to everything.
Very nice and spacious cabin, we enjoyed it and will be back.

Our family enjoyed a week long stay. So close to Gatlinburg but far enough to be out of the hustle and bustle. Can't wait for our next trip!
Great location, just far enough away from the touristy bustle of Gatlinburg to be quiet and peaceful, but close enough to town for meals and only a 20 minute drive to Dollywood. Beds are comfy, outdoor spaces are beautiful & the hot tub was great to soak in after a long day. Wish we could have stayed longer!

We loved the cabin! We’ll definitely be back and bring our family for the other two rooms. Location was good just scary at night with bears but property well lite. Inside nice and cozy! We all loved it.

Property was clean and homey! Very quiet location and peaceful, yet close enough to anything you need and downtown Gatlinburg. Will definitely try to stay at same location when we go back.

Thank you for your 5 star review! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed yourselves so much and we thank you for the opportunity to host you. We'd love to have you back anytime!
Great location, minutes from downtown Gatlinburg. We loved the outside area with the hot tub and fire pit. The beds were comfortable and house nicely decorated. The house needs treated for ants and the outside furniture needed cleaning is why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars.

Thank you for your review! We're delighted to hear that you had a great time at our cabin and enjoyed its location. We want to assure you that our cabins undergo monthly pest control treatments to minimize any unwanted critters. However, being nestled in the mountains, some outdoor pests may occasionally find their way inside.
We make every effort to keep the outdoor furniture clean and inviting. However, factors such as weather conditions and surrounding tree coverage can sometimes lead to it getting dirty again even after we've cleaned it. Despite these challenges, we continuously strive to maintain a clean and enjoyable environment for our guests. We look forward to the opportunity of hosting you again in the future.
Wonderful ranch style spacious rental. Stay on Glades for the quickest route, otherwise it could take 10-15 min to get down and out of the mountain.
Shops and food nearby on the mountain too!

We really liked the location. Nice & quiet & peaceful. The house was great and we loved spending time in the gazebo. We think the pet fee is steep

The pictures really do not do this cabin justice. It is beautiful. The split floor plan was great for us parents wanting a quiet place away from the kids. The outdoor area was very enjoyable with the gazebo, firepit and hot tub. To top it off, they let us bring our dog. Great stay!
