Cabin was clean and perfect for me and my partner. It could easily accommodate another couple, the sofa is a pull out bed. Hot tub was clean. Location was the best part. This cabin is 10 minutes from downtown Gatlinburg. There are also closer nearby shops and restaurants to eat from. A liquor store is maybe a minute away. Overall we loved this cabin and our stay. The property managers were also kind and communicative.

Hosted by Liz and Vince
Liz fell in love with the area after she went to college less than 2 hours from Gatlinburg. We love hiking and the gameplan is to hike at every national park in America, and love that the Smoky Mountains is so close to us in Gatlinburg. As we started going from one park to the other, we began looking for a getaway cabin, and love the Knotty Pine cabin. We are putting a lot of focus and time in making our guests' stay at our cabin a great experience. We are eager to get communication and feedback from our guests to make their current and future stay as wonderful as possible.

Thank you and best regards,,
Liz and Vince

Why they chose this property

We love this neighborhood, including the resort the cabin is located in, with swimming pools and hiking trails, as well as a playground, for our guests. The cabin is right near the Smoky Mountains and located just 2.5 miles from the downtown Gatlinburg strip and all the attractions including the Aquarium, Pigeon Forge and Dollywood are also within minutes. You can park at the nearby City Hall and take the free quaint trolley to downtown Gatlinburg (and avoid the parking fees!). The exceptional arts and crafts district is located just minutes away as well as a local community center, grocery store, restaurants and emergency services. Depending on the time of the year, there are great views from our decks. While we are "up in the mountains," it is an easy drive to get to the cabin, with no crazy mountain roads to drive. We are confident that when you walk through the front door

What makes this property unique
