Great Private Retreat

This property sits in a great spot between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge making it easy to get to many restaurants/activities in the area. Also is located in a semi private area located on top of a mountain. With the trees surrounding the cabin you would almost not even know other cabins are close by.

Thumbs up for sure.

I like how quiet it is. After heading down the mountain to Gatlinberg or Pigeon Forge you feel like you escape to your private little hideaway to unwind and relax going back at the end of the day. We definitely got the bug to do this again. Next time bigger cabin and less going down the mountain. It just feels like home away from home. Much better then a hotel stay. We seen bears right up the road from us too. Pretty cool!

Pleasant getaway

The cabin is awesome! We enjoyed our stay very much. The game room was enjoyed by all and the overall cleanliness of the cabin was appreciated. The only drawback is the drive up to the cabin Very steep and windy (to be expected) However there aren't any guiderails which makes it a bit dangerous especially if weather turns on you. It definitely wouldn't keep us from booking again. Just be careful.

Perfect Cabin for a Mountain Getaway

We spent a week here for Thanksgiving and loved it. The cabin was exactly as described and very clean. We saw two bears the first day and that was very cool. The cabin had plenty of room, the kitchen was decently stocked with cookware, the grill was clean with propane ready, and the hot tub was clean and the kids enjoyed it! There are two porches with a wooded view and plenty of seating. The washer and dryer were very helpful and worked well. Some extra blankets and bigger/thicker towels would have been nice especially with the colder temps. We would stay here again and truly enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful cabin

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The one way road to the cabin, not so much. We definitely planned our excursions out around driving it. Winter would be horrible. When we got there we found the light bulb out over the stairs. I texted and received an automatic response the office was closed so i waited until the next morning and texted again. No response until the evening before we left. In the meantime we also found a broken patio chair and a pair of dirty underwear, yuck! Otherwise, we enjoyed the decks very much and the pool table.

Good cabin with hiccups

The cabin was cozy. The master suites king bed is extremely firm. By the second night, my husband and I were being “eaten alive” by the bed. The mattress was folding inward. We removed the mattress and box springs to discover the horizontal slats had been installed but the vertical support beam had never been. He had tools so we attached it. Same with the downstairs bed. The material was laying under the beds but not installed. The hot tub had thrown a breaker and we couldn’t find it, even after resetting the GFI.

It’s great to hear you found the cabin cozy, but that bed situation sounds incredibly frustrating. It’s so helpful that you took the time to investigate and even make those fixes—thank you for that! The hot tub issue must have been equally annoying, and we truly appreciate your patience. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’ll make sure future guests have a much smoother stay.
