We really enjoyed our stay! The cabin was perfect with its proximity to the Gatlinburg strip! We also enjoyed the stream behind the house and sitting out on the screened in back porch! Our daughter loved the loft area and our dogs loved being along for the whole experience!

Thank you for your review. We take feedback seriously and hope you could provide more to help us improve for future guests. We hope you will visit with us again soon.
I rated the winery experience a 1 because there was no winery. Host was very prompt and provided very nice kitchen amenities. The cabin was very authentic and cozy and the location was wonderful. Beds and furniture were comfortable. Screened in porch was nice and the creek was a super bonus.

We hope to welcome you back for another peaceful stay in the future!
We checked in everything, which was very easy do without having to do a lot of extra travel with traffic, everything was exactly as it was explained in the listing. Very accessible to Downtown Gatlinburg
