Overall this is a great place to stay. Loved the outdoor area/deck. Location is great. I will say there needs to be more seating in the living room and the description needs to be updated to no dishwasher.

We stayed here with my family and kids and it was so cozy and clean! They thought of everything when it comes to a place you can just come and relax. They had dishes, wood for a fire and even sticks to cook your own marshmallows. We had a blast!

Our stay here was great. The amenities were very much enjoyed by our family of 5, and the cabin itself was comfortable and clean. The host really seemed to think of everything, and the cabin felt ready for us when we arrived (even the hot tub was ready to go!).

We absolutely loved our stay here — 10 out of 10 and we’d come back in a heartbeat. The cabin is gorgeous, with charming local décor and so many thoughtful touches. The bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable, and the two‑headed master shower was such a treat with plenty of hot water. We also appreciated the little conveniences like laundry bins, luggage racks, nightlights, blackout curtains, and the refrigerator ice maker. We used the hot tub every single night.The location couldn’t be better — just minutes from the strip but still peaceful. Traffic does go by faster than the posted 15 MPH, but in May it wasn’t too busy.Honestly, it was hard to think of anything we were missing. If we had to make suggestions, pool towels for the hot tub, a bit more counter space (an island would be great), and gates on the back deck to help keep the dogs contained would be nice additions. Otherwise, this cabin had everything we needed for a wonderful stay.

Perfect for our family getaway!

Great location, just far enough away from the touristy bustle of Gatlinburg to be quiet and peaceful, but close enough to town for meals and only a 20 minute drive to Dollywood. Beds are comfy, outdoor spaces are beautiful & the hot tub was great to soak in after a long day. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Great cabin with awesome deck and spa. Gps took me in the back way at night, so was relieved to find an easier route to town next day. Traffic was horrible in town, and people speed by the cabin, but really appreciated staying away from the crowds in this cozy cabin.

We’re so glad you enjoyed the cabin and the deck and spa! It’s great that you were able to find an easier route to town—mountain roads can definitely be tricky at night. We’re happy you appreciated the peace and quiet while still being close to everything.
