Quaint and quiet
The place is a quant little cabin. It is nestled at the end of a one lane dirt road. Not one lane in each direction, one lane. It is only about half a mile long. I would recommend getting there before dark on the 1st day. The cabin is immediately to your left when the road opens up. It is a simple, 1 bdrm with a king size bed & loft sleeping area. The ladder in the room leads to an open loft with 2 beds directly above the king bed. The kitchen has all the basic needs. If you are there during the colder months the wood burning stove works excellent & is MORE than capable of warming the room. Stop by Walmart, next to Starbucks ;o), to get some extra wood, about 20 mins drive. There are 2 other heaters (bathroom & living room). The sound of the stream that runs beside the cabin makes sitting on the porch a peaceful place to be. This cabin is not fancy or modern, but has everything you need and 2 TV's if you need extra entertainment. We didn't have any issues so did not have to contact the owner. The cabin is only 30 mins from several attractions (Great Smokey Train ride, wildwater rafting, ziplining, hiking & more). It was perfect for the two of us.

Best vacation ever!
My husband took me away for a weekend here and he knew we needed to be out as far as we could get. And it worked perfectly! The house was amazing and the property was just beautiful! We had everything we needed plus and I was able to just read and relax all weekend.

The place was great and clean and well stocked. However, the kitchen sink leaked all over the counter and the tub leaked into the bathroom floor.
