An absolute 5-star experience! The home was exceptionally clean, incredibly comfortable, and nestled in a peaceful, quiet neighborhood that is minutes from town. Check-in was a breeze, and we were so impressed by the thoughtful touches, from the perfectly stocked kitchen to the great selection of games. We had a wonderful time and would absolutely love to stay here again!

This is our fourth or fifth time staying here and we just love it. It is perfect for our family. Jody and Brian are always very communicative when needed but usually the property is perfect and we do not need to reach out for any issues. Everything is clean and comfortable, and we love that the property is surrounded by the forest yet so close to town...the best of both worlds! Our trips to the Thayer cabin are something my family looks forward to every year. :)

Family Getaway

We had a great week away in our favorite area to visit. The cabin was cozy with a giant kitchen and plenty of cookware that we made food all week. The boys lived the bunk beds and we enjoyed the layout of the cabin so the sleeping was not disturbed by laundry.Great place to stay that is well maintained

Very nice stay

This was a very nice cabin. Everything was set up well and was very clean. We had a fire at the fire ring one night, saw some deer that were virtually tame, enjoyed watching the chipmunks and squirrels, and relaxed around the cabin when we weren't busy in Old Forge.

Cannot wait to return!

We just returned from a fantastic week away at this beautiful camp. Wonderful, clean accommodations that are close to town, but nestled in the woods so you still get all of the peace and quiet you need to recharge. All four of us were sad to leave, but are looking forward to returning!
