It was a very beautiful area! The only thing was actually getting there. The sharp turn into the driveway and your GPS tells you that the road is closed. But the property itself was beautiful and clean. Definitely would stay there again.

Beautiful Cabin

The place was amazing thank you for letting us stay in your wonderful cabin. We had a great time! One little note, one of the slate steps coming up the stairs from the garage area is loose.

Great little cabin

This was a great little cabin for a long weekend in the Smokies. One thing that I did miss in the listing was that the master bathroom is a tub only. It was not a big deal as the second bathroom downstairs has a shower, but it was a bit limiting.

Overall cabin is great! They hold most of your essential items. I think clear directions to the cabin would've helpful, especially when its dark out. GPS would brings you to the wrong road. If you get car sick easily take something, a lot of whinding toad. Other than that its a beautiful spot definitely recommend it!

Not the place to stay in the winter

The road to the cabin is not safe if the weather is bad. Not much room for a family to gather and sit to visit. It’s a beautiful cabin but if you are there to go to Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg as we were the travel back and forth is very long

Short vacay

It was a nice place. The maid service needs to do a better job as mouse droppings were found on the rug as well as in the drawers. A few of the appliances in the kitchen had not been properly cleaned. We simply cleaned them, but I notified the manager. He stated he would tell the cleaning service.

Quiet Family Weekend Getaway

If you are looking for a place to unwind and enjoy nature then this is the cabin for you. We had a lot of family bonding time on this trip; from hiking to exploring Gatlinburg. While at the cabin enjoyed grilling and making s’mores. The owners we very thoughtful and had sleep sound machines in each bedroom. This was very helpful because at night it’s so quiet you can hear whenever someone walks or talks. We even had the neighbors friendly dog Boomer come over to play. The only downside was there was not a washer or dryer on site and the kitchen wasn’t as clean as I would have liked. I have a small car and it did struggle to make it up the gravel road.

If you looking for a quiet retreat and a place to enjoy nature this is the cabin for you. Our family had a lot of bonding time; from hiking to exploring Gatlinburg.

Lovely mountain getaway -- we'll be back!

This is a stellar property! We absolutely loved everything about it. There was lots of space for our family of six -- we loved the outdoor dining area and sitting on the porch. We would recommend a AWD or 4WD car for the drive up the last several miles, but that said we had visitors who were able to get up the hill in a front-wheel drive car, so perhaps we're just flatlanders! In any case, the location is incredible -- close to Hartford but way removed from the day-to-day. Guests should know that a beer or butter run will take you 30 to 40 minutes round trip! But we planned well and brought lots of groceries from Newport. The cabin was clean, peaceful, organized, and well-thought-out. Communication was top-right. A real gem -- honestly, one of our best VRBO experiences yet.

Relax family time

Beautiful place but not for taking kids. I think it was my fault for not reading the review and learning about driving to the cabin. If you plan to leave the cabin and get to know around, this cabin is not for you. The last part of the drive to the cabin is significantly challenging and doesn't take small kids.

Relaxing, peaceful getaway!

We loved being in this very nice and cozy cabin in the mountains, away from everybody. All though the drive to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge was a 45-60 min drive; the cabin was worth the drive time. We are definitely coming back the same time next year!!!

A beautiful, remote, house

The house itself is great, it was very clean, well decorated and had with a nice view. If the purpose of your trip is to go to Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge, the house is a bit of a drive from there. If all you want is a quiet vacation in the mountains, this house is perfect. If you want to explore the surrounding cities just know you'll be driving over an hour.
