The view from the cabin was absolutely breathtaking. The cabin was very comfortable, enjoyable, and clean. We even saw a bear from the balcony! My family and I 100% recommend staying here, and it was worth every penny!

About the host
Hosted by Melissa McMahon
Our family is based in South Florida, and we love to travel! We discovered the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee after we had our first child and were looking for somewhere safe to travel during the COVID pandemic. We fell in love with the area and decided to buy a place that we could enjoy with our kids.
Why they chose this property
We chose our cabin because we loved the beautiful mountain views from the decks. We were able to make it a cozy place that has what we need for our toddlers when we make trips to the area, and it is our own piece of paradise in the mountains.
