Great location to GSMNP

Cute cabin. It was very clean and exactly as pictured. It was minutes from a back entrance to GSMNP and 15 min to the Townsend entrance. Neighborhood is quiet and it’s a great place for a family to stay. I love bears and a bonus is that we saw a bear hang out in a nearby tree.

A Delightful Place

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We enjoyed all the property had to offer. It is quiet, restful, and away from the hustle and bustle of Gatlinburg. It is quiet enough that the occasional bear will just saunter on by. It is delightful place to stay.

Perfect location for Park lovers!

If you’re looking for a cabin for a family getaway and to be close to the National Park, Ole’ Smoky should be where you stay! Great location, cleanest cabin we’ve ever seen, and the host is extremely friendly, laid back and responsive. The drives to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg are beautiful and not long; you’re just 10 minutes from the “secret” park entrance via Line Springs Road. Love it.

Our vacation was great with the opportunity of staying in this beautiful cabin. It was the perfect size and location that we were looking for. My whole family loved it!! We were so excited to see a mama bear and her 3 baby cubs one evening. It was our first visit to Tennessee and fell in love with the " Quiet Side of the Smokies" Thank you for letting us enjoy your home.

Lovely cabin.

The cabin, furnishings, location were all very good. The four if us all thought the cabin was great, but we will never stay there again. The mattresses were extra, extra, extra over the top firm. And I usually like a firm mattress. It’s awful to be sore and tired from hiking and come home to a rock to sleep on. Enough said.

Annual "Summit"

5 High School buddies, Class of 76, get together once/year and this year we decided to do East TN due to two of us living in West TN so that cut down on the air travel. After we do Fargo, ND, where one us lives, I can see us coming back here again. The house was the perfect size, the kitchen fantastic (I'm the cook), the hot tub grand and the location convenient. We did a day at the pool, even. Thanks, Shannon! We'll be in touch. Keith and the boys
