This cabin was exceptionally clean, very spacious, and the perfect place for a family get away. We had a lovely time and enjoyed activities in Pigeon Forge as well as some shopping in Knoxville. We will definitely return and highly recommend this cabin for families or anyone wanting a peaceful escape.

We had a wonderful stay at this mountain cabin. It was exceptionally clean and had everything we could want or need, including a full kitchen, linens, plenty of games, satellite TV, and Wi-Fi. The setting is beautiful, with gorgeous mountain views and an open field. It was so peaceful to sit outside, listen to the crickets, and look up at the stars at night. This cabin was a lovely place to slow down and relax. The hosts were very easy to communicate with, and check-in and check-out were a breeze. The house manual was a great touch, with helpful how-to instructions and information about local attractions and dining. We would happily stay again!

We loved our stay here. Cabin is beautiful, clean, cozy, and very well stocked. Loved the fire pit and wrap around porch. The view of the mountains is amazing and as a bonus we got a little snow while there. The check in and out process was easy. We will definitely be back!

Great property! Loved that they were “off the grid” and away from the tourist spots of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Amenities were very nice save for the broken ice maker.

We recently stayed for a week for our summer vacation and had an amazing time. The cabin was beautiful, comfortable and provided everything our family needed. The owners were on top of everything from check in to check out. They touched base with us to make sure we had everything we needed and really made us feel welcome. Location was very convenient to attractions. I highly recommend this beautiful cabin! Thank you!
