Charming cabin
I could so live in a cabin like this! It’s beautiful. Our stay was very nice. Two cabins next to each other, the other one only occupied our last night. I would highly recommend it. Very private and safe feeling. It’s a fair distance from downtown Gatlinburg, about 25 minutes. But not an issue for us. Has a lovely loft bedroom and bathroom with shower upstairs, which we didn’t use. The bedroom downstairs is small but comfortable.
Overall we were very comfy, interior lighting need someattention., Carpenter bees were eating the front porch swing.

Cute cabin
Very cozy cabin outside of the tourist areas but only like 20 minutes to Gatlinburg Nice quiet area ideal for a relaxing getaway. The living room was nice Could use a few updates - the pillows were lumpy and uncomfortable and the sheets won't stay on the bed. The beds were fairly comfortable. The living room is nice and the kitchen seemed well supplied.
My boyfriend and I wanted a short weekend getaway and this cabin was perfect for that! We stayed here and did a day in Gatlinburg. There was some user error getting the heat to work for the first few hours on the first night but after that, we had a great time! Cute cabin, good location.
My son and I really enjoyed your cozy little cabin! It was conveniently located to attractions, shopping and waterfalls! We will definitely stay here, again and will recommend it to our friends and family!
