A wonderful location and a very nice cabin. It was clean and cozy.But I wanted a good night’s sleep and the hand me down/broken down bed was uncomfortable, at best. I’m probably going to stop staying in VRBOs because this is the 3rd rental that had an uncomfortable bed. Hotel quality beds should be the standard.

Cute little cabin was clean and ready for our stay when we got there. Stocked well. Easy check-in and check-out. Jessica was a great host! Her advice about getting gas and groceries before going to the cabin was very helpful and spot on. Her directions regarding the driveway were also very helpful. I had an AWD and had no problems, but I don’t think I would have attempted it with a 2-wheel drive. As for cell service, I have Verizon and did not have coverage at the cabin (host warned about this) and the WiFi is most likely as strong as it can be, but cannot handle too many devices at once… just something to be aware of. Overall, it was a really nice stay.

Great Anniversary get a way

The little bungalow was just as advertised! It was remote, quite, had a kitchen, bathroom, and was in a great location to explore an area we had not been in before. Recommend renting Ebikes and touring Cades Cove, and hiking the area trails.

Felt like home!

We loved this stay. Great experience when booking/checking in. The host was very accommodating to our check in time. The bungalow was very clean and cute. There was alot of information provided on the area/hiking trials. Beautiful views leading to the place as well with alot of outlooks to stop on if wanted. Would definitely stay again!

Mini vacation

My husband and I just wanted to get away for a few days! This spot was perfect! Very cozy and comfortable! Host was very polite and helpful! We plan on bringing our son back with us next time. When it's a little warmer so we can explore the woods a little!! I recommended this little getaway to do many people!

Very pleasant

The design was cozy and very easy to relax in. The access point to trails is a quick drive and there are easily hours of hiking to be done. The lake is a walk down the hill and the environment is very quiet. The hosts checked in on me and were quite kind. It was excellent for some solitude; I met a deer at my car the first morning.

Nice cabin

It was a nice and a clean stay. Host is really responsive and gave us all the details that is needed for a smooth check in and for parking. Only issue was hot water ran out after one person shower and had to wait for 15mins or so for next shower. I really wanted to stay for fall but when we went there leaves have turned into brown. I would recommend this place for anyone.

Cozy

We had a nice and cozy stay at the little bungalow. 😊 Seriously listen about the drive way. It is very step and loose gravel by the cabin. Other than that it is a very nice and relaxing place.

Hubby's birthday getaway

The cabin was perfect for a couples getaway. We enjoyed our getaway for my husbands birthday. We had a close encounter with a coyote. He can up 40 feet from back deck. Also enjoyed watching the deer im backyard every evening

Quick, easy, comfortable,

The host clearly takes pride in providing a great and affordable space for renters. Entire process was seamless. The bathtub was an added comfort, being positioned in view of the tv so you could relax and watch a movie on the multiple streaming services available. Highly recommend the bungalow

Amazing get away

Firstly, it was so clean, and nicely stocked. The driveway to the cabin is not bad. It's steep but our front wheel drive suv, made it no problem. Probably not a car. Also it's a steep hill, so watch your footing. The area is remote on top of the mountains, along super long, winding roads. Be careful driving at night, as it gets very foggy. But the area is gorgeous, quiet, peaceful. Right outside of good hiking spots and Gatlinburg and pigeon forge. Great place. The host was awesome, and responded quickly to any questions. Number one advice, remember to keep your key in lockbox. Very easy to lock yourself out lol!yourself out!! Thanks for the memories memories!!to

Clean but no wifi

This was a cute little spot, however, we couldn't get the wifi to work. With no signal whatsoever and no wifi, we couldn't message or call the host. There are roads with no signs, so even with my paper directions we very nearly missed the wedding because we got lost and had no service to put it into Google Maps. Thank goodness for a park ranger who pointed us in the right direction. We got back and my boyfriend laid down to rest and watch TV and found it also didn't work. It was a very frustrating stay.

Just right

This little one-space bungalow was all we needed. Everything was great about the property, but there are a few things I would like to have had mentioned to me, so I'll mention them below. The electricity will go out with rain, not just storms, so have food available that doesn't need cooked or heated. The shower is awkward, soaks the floor, and the head doesn't move to any usable position. You will be taking a bath more often than not. The TV doesn't like the 2g internet and didn't want to connect to the 5g. I used screen casting to watch anything on the TV. The distance to town is not far, but it is all up or down hill and will take a good bit of time, so get your groceries before going up to the property. Overall, we had a wonderful stay, everything was clean when we arrived, and we didn't break the bank either. Thanks!
