The cottage was cozy, and perfect for a weekend get away! The place has a wonderful view, and the best welcome with Inola! A return trip will be made soon!
This was our 2nd time staying here. Very quiet, serene, peaceful location. Cabin has everything you need. Host is awesome!!!! (and his doggie). Will definitely stay again in the future.
Friendly host, clean, peaceful. If you want to be in the mountains this is where you want to go. Close to golfing, whitewater rafting, Great Smoky Railroad train ride and the casino. We had a great time 4 days we we there! We will be staying again! Thank you Michael!!
"An absolute gem of a stay! This cozy cabin is nestled on a gorgeous, secluded property and stocked with everything you need. Michael is an incredible host whose hospitality went above and beyond. Plus, it's easily the most pet-friendly place we've ever stayed. We can't wait to come back!"
This was our 4th stay since 2021 and it was wonderful as always. Everything is clean and the kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, etc. The sunsets are gorgeous from the porch. Mike and Inola Mae are amazing hosts. Our kids (now 12 and 14) love it and this is where they want to go when we plan a mountain weekend.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Everything was tidy and comfy, we had everything we needed in the house. Very easy to get to and close to all the things we wanted to do. My children absolutely LOVED our hosts pup Enola and looked for her every time we pulled up.
We checked in pretty late and had little time to check everything out. However check in was easy and Michael was extremely hospitable and a gracious host. Woke up to a beautiful scenery. Met Michael and iola may his dog. Overall the home was cozy and inviting.
Michael is always a pleasure to stay with. He makes you feel at home and goes above and beyond to make sure your stay was great. Will stay there again!
We had a wonderful stay. Our host was such a joy to have nearby, and his sweet dog Enola Mae made the experience even better. He helped us out on very short notice and welcomed us like old friends. Truly grateful for the hospitality.
Alarka Cabin was just as described.Great location for dogs to run. Best host ever.Very friendly, helpful and generous. The area has an endless supply of activities for the outdoor enthusiast. I highly recommendthis rental
