There is also a queen-size sleeper sofa (with new memory foam mattress, sleeps great!) in the living room. There is a gorgeous and peaceful back deck with a hot tub that is such a great treat after a long day of hiking or riding! The cabin is very close to the Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area and Pickett State Park.

There are 2 flat screen televisions in the cabin both of which have local cable television and one is a Smart TV located in the living room. There are 4 stalls on site for horses. This cabin is located at the end of the road with a circle drive, very private, peaceful and serene. Nearby you can also tour historic Rugby, check out the Muddy Pond Mennonite community, take the Big South Fork Scenic Railway, go to the Sgt. Alvin C. York Historic Park, swim and hike up at Pickett State Park, and do some fishing or whitewater rafting in Big South Fork. Perfect getaway for couples, families, or friends looking for some peace and adventure.

Exactly as advertised

This cabin really lived up to all our expectations and then some! It was so easy to find and its proximity to Big South Fork and Pickett State Park made it super convenient. The cabin was super clean and cozy, was in great condition, and had all amenities listed. We were especially impressed with how well appointed the kitchen was with equipment, utensils, and supplies. We would highly recommend this cabin for your next trip!

Lovely Peaceful Get-a-way

This was the perfect cabin for our short get-a-way. We picked it because it checked all our boxes; close to Big South Fork, dog friendly and hot tub. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of the property and well-appointed kitchen. We also loved playing board games on the large wrap-around porch. The host was exceptionally communicative and we appreciate them sharing their wonderful cabin with us.

Vending at a local Truck Show

We didn't get to use the property to its full potential as we were in town for an event and really utilized it for sleep and a shower. But it is a beautiful place and we will definitely stay again if we are back for this event. If you are a horse lover or hiking enthusiast, this is your place!

About the host

Hosted by Leanne Butler

Host profile image
John and Leanne live in Knoxville, TN. Leanne is a first grade teacher and John works in the heating and air conditioning business. In their spare time they love to go trail riding, hiking, biking, and boating with the kids.

Why they chose this property

We absolutely love this cabin and the area. It's so beautiful and serene and the perfect getaway for a couple, family, or group of friends. It's beyond nice to have your horses right there where you can see them, be able to tack up and just ride off directly from the cabin to various trails within the park.
