Mountain Week Stay

We had a wonderful stay at this mountain cabin! It was absolutely perfect for two people, with identical spaces that gave each of us privacy and comfort. The layout was thoughtfully designed, and everything was clean and cozy. The location couldn’t have been better—peaceful, scenic, and close to everything we wanted to do. Driveway is a little tricky to find on the initial check in but not difficult to navigate going forward. Communication with the owner was excellent from start to finish. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing and well-balanced getaway!

The only thing I wish was different, was the hot tub was covered, the huge covered front porch would have been perfect for the hot tub. One minor thing, very little pots and pans to cook with. Overall great cabin

Great cabin!

Cabin is as described and pictured. One of the cleanest cabins we've rented and it's in a good location. One thing to note, there is no closet in one of the bedrooms and they could really use some hooks in various locations in the room so you can hang clothes. We would definitely stay here again.

Holiday Vacation

The house was warm and wonderful for the two couples. When we got there the Christmas tree was lit and holiday music was playing from the televisions. The house was clean and smelled like cedar. It was lovely. We were there for 8 nights during Christmas week. The house and location are lovely. We cooked some nights and the kitchen was great to cook in. The beds are comfortable however one bedroom has no closet and the other doesn’t have a dresser. Just for information, not a drawback. If we were coming back to Gatlinburg, we would definitely start again.

Great Experience

The cabin was located in a nice area away from downtown, so it made for a quiet stay. Property was well kept and cabin was clean and in order. Our little one got to see a bear each day as it walked around the yard and ate Kudzu. We will definitely stay here again. Very nice rental property.

Incredible Cabin and Amazing Host!

This cabin is absolutely beautiful! It is very close to downtown Gatlinburg and very easy to find. We enjoyed relaxing in the recliners watching TV with the fireplace screen on. The kitchen is well equipped for any cooking needs. The host is wonderful and went above and beyond to make sure the cabin has everything you need for a great stay. We loved the cabin so much we have already booked another stay for next year!
