Very nice cabin and location

We had a good time, it was comfortable enough for three people. The beds were clean and good mattresses. My only criticism, is that once we reached the cabin, the hostess was not available. I had the courtesy of letting her know about a few things that needed care, but no answer from her.

Good value

Not accessible for handicap or walker. Two steps up to entrance. Floor inside extremely uneven and spongy in places. No drip coffee maker or firewood provided. (That's fine but not told that ahead). It's at least 40 minutes to Gatlinburg, not 30. The porch was a nice place to relax. The setting was quiet and woodsy.

Just Okay

The good part is that the property is close to Gatlinburg and good hikes. The bad is that the property is pretty close to the main road and you can hear the cars all day and there are dogs that bark up the road 24/7. Cleanliness was okay. The bathroom had cobwebs and the towels had some stains and the bed had an old bandaid stuck to the sheets.

Great little cabin

We really enjoyed this little cabin, had everything we needed was not too far from restaurants and stores. Within 30 minutes from Gatlinburg. I loved seeing the Christmas lights. Stacy was very helpful and the maintenance man was extremely helpful in navigating around the area. We didn’t get too used the hot tub because of an issue but it was a great place to get away for a few days. Would definitely recommend.

Loved it so much, we extended our nature retreat!

We LOVED our time at the cozy cabin. We were able to contact both our property manager and our Innkeeper to extend our stay because we loved our time so much! We were able to find stores close by for any grocery needs,we were able to drive through the smokies on a few different trails, and we LOVED that we could bring our dogs with us. They loved the comfort of nature sounds versus a dog friendly hotel in a tourist attraction. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us! We hope to be back soon! Be sure to check out Carver Orchard and make time to eat there too!

Extended Getaway

We booked this cabin for one night to extend a short trip to the area we had with family. We wanted to stay an extra day from the rest of them and found this little gem! It was everything we look for in a cabin. The location was away from hustle and bustle, very quiet. The cabin is perfectly sized for our family of 6 (My wife and I, kids ages 15,10,3,1). The cabin has everything you would need to cook meals and spend time without having to lug all the accessories of a home. The jacuzzi was already heated and ready when we arrived which was great after a week spent hiking (and carrying kids) through the mountains. It has an on site charcoal grill and firepit we unfortunately didnt get to use but are very nice to have for a longer stay. All in all, it was an extremely comfortable and cozy cabin, perfect if your looking for a stay in the mountains away from City life. We will definitely remember it for the next time we visit the area.

Secluded

The cabin in secluded for anyone who just want to get away.Had to speak with manager about posibly changing date for a medical condition and she was willing to accommodate but we didnt have to . THE CABIN: Very seculded code was sent to get in. Just to let you know you are seculded so no wifi. Unable to watch tv in either bedrooms have to watch DVDs. Lets talk about the sofa bed. Pulled it out and the mattress is 1/2 inch thick and frame of head was broke. Family said it was so hard to sleep on the floor was better. THE BATHROOM: the tub and shower needs to be replaced. We refuse to shower becuse it has a permanent dirty stain didn't know if was clean or not. Beds were very uncomfortable need new mattresses. And. When it rains the porch and stairs are very slipper several of us almost fell. We did enjoy our visit.

Beautiful Cabin

This is an exceptionally beautiful cabin. It was very clean and decorated nicely. They put extra care in making it feel welcoming. There were extra touches they made to make it cuteness overload. 😍. Its located 40 minutes from Gatlinburg and worth the drive. We planned our activities accordingly. It's secluded, but an easy drive there. It was very affordable. Probably a third of the price than other cabins in Gatlinburg and Sevierville. The property manager responded immediately when I had a question. Our dog, Maxx, loved it also. It had a nice yard for him to play frisbee. We will definitely be staying here again.

I can not say enough good about this place! For starters, it is THE cleanest pet friendly rental I have ever stayed in, and I’ve stayed in a lot. There was no bad odor, everything was clean. I always check rooms/furniture with a black light before we get too cozy, and it passed that test also! The location is perfect, you’re just a short drive from everything. The cabin is secluded and by itself, you can’t see the neighbors. The road and driveway are well maintained and accessible by car. Everything was well stocked. The only thing I would’ve changed, is better lighting outside. There was a dusk to dawn light, but I believe the bulb was out. We had to use our phone lights to take our dog out at night, so nothing too major. There was a ton of movies and board games, TV in every room, well stocked with towels, wash clothes, etc. There isn’t a washer or dryer that we saw, which didn’t bother us at all, just a heads up for someone needing one, and there’s no WiFi, also no issue, we had full service and used our phone hotspots if we needed to use the computer, we try to stay “unplugged” on family trips. Again, I can’t say enough about this place. It is its own little slice of paradise. We will definitely be recommending this cabin to others!

Beautiful cabin tucked away

This was the cutest most cozy cabin! You can tell the owner has put thought into several things. The decorating was with purpose. The porch outside was very relaxing. Even at night to hear all the crickets was so very relaxing. The area set up for day and night was so cute, we were able to read and relax day and night! We passed a few other cabins when getting in, and the driveway for this one was so much better than the others, it felt more private and room to roam. One of the things about ouside are the very cute little iron bears placed in hidden areas outside the cabin. Now, this cabin is a 30ish minute drive from Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge but there are 2 things about that. We wanted to go to both, and thins was kinda in the middle of the two so that was very nice. And then two the traffic everyone dreads we didn't really have to face until we got about 10 minutes away from where we were wanting to go. But the drive to get to where we wanted to go was part of the beautiful experience! We were also just 10 minutes away from a beautiful overlook, and just a short drive from a Walmart and a Cracker Barrel that had a beautiful view! We were able to cook meals or go out, which we did both. And the best part was it was affordable! There is a certain pressure when planning a getaway as a mom, and you want to impress your family with your choice, but also keep it practical, and i was able to accomplish just that by booking this cabin! I got a... good job mom! So yay!! Thank you
