This place is beautiful! The pictures don’t do it justice. Especially the view from the back deck- WOW! We loved the giant porch swing. Appreciated that there were throw blankets available to keep cozy. Kitchen was stocked well with all things needed to cook. There were seven women for a girl’s trip and we had a blast in this adorable cabin!

Brief visit

This was one of my favorite VRBO rentals yet. We loved the front porch, the quiet neighborhood, and the open common areas of the house. Great for the young grandkids and us older folk too. The owner makes it easy with plenty of instruction and a very comfortable home.

Beautiful location and breathtaking views

We booked this cabin as a relaxing getaway with friends and family and without a doubt would book again! Whenever we needed to ask the host a question, he would always get back to us in a timely manner and was very accommodating. From the stunning views of the mountains from the porch to the warm and welcoming living and entertainment spaces, the cabin felt like a home away from home and we were so sad to leave. Definitely a five star cabin and a five star host!

Amazing family stay

The property was clean and cozy and could be perfect for larger groups than us four. We enjoyed challenging the kids to all the games downstairs, relaxed in the hot tub and took in all the views on both patios. Location was perfect and close to anything we wanted to do, views were beautiful all around. We had three separate encounters with bears at the house. One not 10ft from us while sitting on the lower back patio. We had other encounters with bears on the drive up the mountain. My only con would be I wished the smaller trees could be trimmed down a little to enhance the view but if done I probably wouldn’t have noticed the beautiful humming birds buzzing around so I’m glad they weren’t. This was probably the best vacation we have ever had! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

We enjoyed our amazing stay at the cabin! The mountain view was incredible and we loved the bed swing! It was so peaceful to sit on the back porch and read or visit with our friends. It was a great location for visiting the places we wanted to visit like Cade's Cove, Roaring Fork Motor Trail, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The cabin was so cozy and inviting. We loved the game room and the fire pit area. Austin was easy to communicate with and was super responsive. We hope to return to the area soon and are able to book our stay here again.

Wonderful Cabin & Excellent Host

My family and I have been visiting the Smoky Mountains for 18 years, and we always search for the perfect cabin—space, bathrooms, beds, location, and of course, the view! For the last 5 years we stayed in the same place, but this year the kids wanted a change. We’re so glad we found this one!Austin was fantastic from booking through check-out—quick to respond, transparent, and always helpful. The kids loved the game room/bedroom, and the fully equipped kitchen was a big win for the adults. Peaceful location, stunning views and good location.
