Very cozy stay with stunning views surrounding the whole site! Perfect for a weekend trip. The host was easy to communicate with, responding right away to any message we would send. As they say in their description, the road leading up to the site truly is very narrow and winding, so be aware of this and mindful to arrive before dark! Some of the dishes we found were still a little dirty when we arrived, but they had a variety of different pots and pans and plates and bowls and such, which was very much appreciated! The fire pit was in a perfect spot, and they even had folding chairs for extra seating! They have multiple showers that were very clean and had a toilet and sink in the stall with them which was super nice. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much.

Very clean and in great shape. Right next to the showers on the hilltop and such a beautiful place to stay. 30 minutes from Gatlinburg and such great hiking around. We had a great time staying here and will do so in the future!

The cabin was a genuine glamping experience. There is a TV and wifi, a window unit AC, ceiling fan, and kitchen appliances. The road to get to the cabin is winding and a little narrow - definitely a little difficult to navigate at night or during inclement weather. We truly enjoyed our stay and got the full experience with a campfire, fireflies, and listening to early morning birds - even saw a hummingbird!

Place

Overall the place was good! Relaxing and comforting. The only thing is there is no full bathroom at the cabin only a half bathroom. You have to shower at the guest campground. I would not recommend for toddlers as there is a bunk bed above the main bed and there are ladders. Perfect for only couples!

We stayed less than 24 hours, got accused of bringing a pet and destroying a parking bumper (we were barely in the cabin for the majority of our stay.) Also you need to make it before dark because the road is crazy and only one vehicle can fit in it. The shower area smelled of mildew.

Thanks for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear your experience didn’t meet your expectations. We take a lot of pride in our cleanliness—many guests tell us our bathrooms are the cleanest they’ve ever seen at a campground, and we’re very thorough about cleaning the cabin between each stay. After your checkout, we did find pet hair and pet food inside, which made it clear that a pet had been present, even though our listings are pet-free. We never accused anyone of causing damage, so we’re not sure where that part came from. The road coming in is a narrow, winding mountain county road—beautiful, but definitely easier to navigate before dark, which is why we always recommend early arrival. We appreciate you staying with us and wish you the best in your future travels.

Amazing

We enjoyed spending time at this cabin. It was exactly what we were looking for when we booked. We wanted to disconnect and spend quality time together. This cabin checked all the boxes for us. Beautiful views, comfortable cabin, fire pit, great and easy communication with property management. It couldn’t have been better. There was even a camp cat that came and visited us he was so cute. He didn’t stay for too long but we enjoyed seeing him. I believe his name was Oliver.

cozy

stayed here the week before Christmas with my 5 year old daughter. it lives up to its name its very cozy little cabin. it was below freezing every night we was there and barely above if any most to the days we was there. the cabin stayed nice and warm. i asked the host to have the heat on when we checked in and they did. the power was out one evening when we got back to the cabin but come back on before we left again. the host brought lanterns and propane heater for us to have incase the power went out again over night. the cabin is on a very nice old farm on top of a hill on the back of the property. It was just my daughter and i and when i bring her back to the gatlinburg area i will be staying here again. she had plenty of room to do her thing out side and just enjoy the views.

A little surprised.

The overall stay was nice. It was a nice, small cabin. The location was private...sort of and the view was beautiful. If you are used to actual camping in a tent or a RV then this is perfect. We, however, were expecting a normal cabin. The pictures in the listing show a small bathroom with a shower but if you scroll alll the way to the bottom, you will notice that it says "bath house". Which means there's no shower in the actual cabin. You have to drive to another area to shower, which for us was very inconvenient. I 1should have paid more attention. The cabin does have a sink and toilet but no hot water, which didnt make sense. When it was time to check out, we were told to wash the dishes, no hot water, so they wouldnt be very sanitized. We were also instructed to put the trash into our car and drive it to anither address for disposal because there was not a dumpster on-site. Big no-no for us. The cabin, of course, is no smoking but we did not realize we couldnt smoke on the porch either so be mindful of that. Aside from those little issues, it was a pleasant experience. The owners were very responsive and nice. I would suggest bringing your own television. There is wifi but no televisions on location. We wont be booking again but as i said earlier, if you're looking for a real camping experience, then this would be great!

We apologize that the descriptions may not have been clear to you. Our intention was to convey that the accommodation is a camping experience by referring to it as a camping cabin and highlighting its location in a campground. We kindly request guests to refrain from smoking on the decks or porch. We make sure to inform guests about this policy and explain it to those who inform us that they smoke when we ask ahead of time.

If you’re looking for a cabin that is quiet and off the beaten path, this cabin is for you! It is a camper campground that has a couple locations to rent. There are two bathhouse rooms on the property. While it is not listed in the listing, potential renters should know that check in time is from 4-9pm. This is due to the complexity of the road and the fact that the people around you are tent camping. It was slightly frustrating that this was not in the listing, but once arriving, it was understandable. I haven’t seen any other reviews list this, so I felt it was needed! Overall, we loved our stay and are already talking about coming back!

It was as described in the app…I just wish I had read that the showers were down the hill; however, that was actually not a problem. The a/c kept the place cold, and the kitchenette was perfect. It even had a full sized refrigerator/freezer on the porch that was very handy. Communication was flawless, the campground was silent overnight, and the other campers were uber-respectful. No notes - just awesome!
