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.
Loved this cabin. Right on the river and the back porch swing was the best place to enjoy it. Cozy and relaxing, the fireplace was the cherry on top for the cooler nights.
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.
We had a blast. We were up for a wedding on Saturday and totally enjoyed our stay. The wedding was at a nearby vineyard, and the cabin was in a close location to everything. We will be back.
This was such a relaxing long weekend. The cabin was just what we needed. The location is perfect. Flowing river view from the back porch. Lots of things to do in the area and away from the big crowds. Highly recommended
The cabin was perfect for our needs. The bed was very comfortable. We loved the sound of the river and was so beautiful with the snow. We would definitely stay here again.
