Cabin was great. Bed was very comfortable. We were close to town for groceries and eating out. Also close to the park where we spent most of our time. Hot tub was sparkling clean and used every night.
Super clean, convenient and located on the River. Easy access to tube and play in the water, cabin has a nice front porch to view the River activities. Easy access to Wears Valley Rd and the Cades Cove park entrance.We rented the 2 bedroom, but a larger group could rent both cabins and have a great family get-away!
This cabin was perfect for what we were looking for. It's definitely on the quiet side of the Smokeys but within a short distance of the excitement of Pigeon Forge. The cabin was very clean and Mr. Carnes was great at responding back to answer any questions. We truly enjoyed our stay.
Lovely cabin and lovely view of the river. Kitchen very well equipped. Great porch for coffee, reading, relaxing and cocktails. I really appreciated the owner checking in via text after our arrival to see if everything was good at the cabin. We will definitely return.
