Loved the place, great location, and lots of black bears. If I could recommend one thing is have more toilet paper and paper towels on site. Other than that, the place was awesome!

My boyfriend and I wanted a little Tennessee getaway and this cabin really did not disappoint. We received great communication from the hosts with the option to check in early, the cabin was well prepared for us as guests, and the hot tub and pool table were a great inclusion! We only left the cabin to grab groceries, otherwise we stayed on property our whole stay. We truly enjoyed this cabin so much. Of course there was a cobweb here, and a little bit of dust there, but it’s a cabin up in the mountains and is to be expected. Check out details were very straight forward and we had ZERO issues with our stay. I do want to note that the driveway is very steep, but if you go up past the driveway about 500 ft there is a slight turn around area which was super helpful traveling in a pick up! We used the hot tub with zero issues, appreciated how quiet all the neighbors were, and the bed was surprisingly very comfy! I would highly recommend this cabin to any couple looking to spend a few days reconnecting with each other and disconnecting from the rest of the world for a while. Bonus points that we were able to watch a little football and the WiFi worked great!

The cabin was very clean and big for a 2 person stay! We would definitely stay here again, just not in the winter. I only say that because the roads and driveway are VERY STEEP!!! I would not suggest driving a low car! I drive a highlander and had to be very careful pulling in and out the driveway! Otherwise it is perfect!!!
