This cabin is so lovely! The beds are comfortable, the layout and outdoor spaces are great, and the location is near enough to Dollywood and Gatlinburg but I'm a quieter part of the area. Much of the kitchen equipment needs to be replaced and the kitchen could have been cleaner, but overall, it was a great stay.

This cabin provided us with exactly what we needed… peace and tranquility! The pictures are accurate to what the cabin actually looks like. The roads to get there were a little scary (curvy, narrow mountain roads) but the scenery was breathtaking!! We have already discussed coming back to the “Zen” cabin!!!

The location is perfect if you are wanting to be out of the hustle and bustle of Pigeon Forge/Gaitlinburg. The space suited our family/party of 6 perfectly. The swim spa was beautiful! We had some bears and some cubs up close on the porch and it was really neat to see!

We had a fantastic and relaxing weekend with old friends! The location is just far enough from downtown Pigeon Forge to give you peace and quiet, while still being only a quick and easy drive into town. For us, that balance was perfect.The kitchen was impressively well stocked, making it simple to enjoy meals together. The swim spa was a highlight — such a great way to unwind — and the sound system added a wonderful touch, creating a great atmosphere throughout our stay.This home truly offered everything we needed for a comfortable, enjoyable getaway. We’d absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat close to all the attractions!
