The place was clean and right on the river. The river is beautiful with clear clean water and is a great place to hang out and skip rocks. The location is perfect for visiting the Smokies.

This cabin is a little piece of heaven in a world that is a whirlwind!! We have stayed in this cabin many times and look forward to many more years enjoying this beautiful and peaceful place.The owner is wonderful in communication and the cabin is very comfortable with all your needs thought of in advance.The cabin is on Little River- listening to the water running over the rocks 24/7 is the most relaxing and peaceful thing possible. You are close to the grocery store, restaurants and the Park but feel like your out in nature away from everything. We so enjoyed our 4 night stay and hope to be back again soon.

This is the best. It's a one room charming cabin. We have stayed here several times and I believe this time was the best.We're senior citizens that don't need a a large space. The best attraction for us is the fabulous view of the Little River from the comfortable back porch. The rocking chairs and swing were wonderful. We have plans to return next Spring.Thank you, Kerry.
