Cozy little secluded cabin in a great location. Perfect for a peaceful getaway to the mountains. We had a wonderful vacation exploring pigeon forge and gatlinburg throughout the day and spending time curled up in front of the fireplace and relaxing in the hottub at night. Hosts were very accommodating.

We are so honored and appreciative to have hosted you Josh. Our cleaner stated you made it very easy on her and her team! Would absolutely host you if you're ever in the area.
Great place to take your significant other for a nice quiet getaway. Had everything we needed and wanted. Was lots of extra items incase you didn't bring it.I loved the creek! Location was just far enough away but close enough to gatlinburg and pigeon forge to be a quick easy drive. Everything was great! If I had to complain about anything it would probably be the hump in the floor between the kitchen and the living room, we tripped on that thing several times.

Thank you so much for the kind words and thoughtful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear you had a peaceful getaway and enjoyed the creek and convenient location. We try to stock the cabin with all the little extras to make things easier, so it’s great to know that made a difference. And thank you for the note about the floor transition—definitely something we’ll take a closer look at to help prevent future stumbles. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
