This is amazing place to stay. The location is perfect. Its in the woods enough for the mountain feel, but close enough to walk into town. You cant get a better location. We walked out on the screenporch to be greeted by a beautiful black bear on the other side of the door. Its one of my many favorite moments while we were there. We will be back next year.

A cool little cottage, minutes from everything!

The house is literally a few minute drive or walk to downtown Gatlinburg, and 10 minutes to Pigeon Forge. The house is well kept, just feels homey. I look forward to booking here again!

The cabin is perfect. We stayed with my brother in law and his wife. We had a great time. It was extremely cold, spent alot of time in the cabin enjoying the company, the beautiful fire and the river flowing by. Easy access to Gatlinburg activities.

Great location. This is a quaint little cabin. Nothing fancy but nice. It gives you the feel of going to stay at Grandma's house. It wouldnt be for someone who likes high-end amenities. I would go stay again.

Every thing was great. Enjoyed listening to the river while sitting on the screened in porch. The rocker on the porch was ready for the dump. Need more comfortable porch furniture. Inside was nice.
