Just the right amount of getaway

This little cottage on the pond was just what we needed in space, comfort, and setting. The fenced in wraparound deck over the water was a great space for our corgi to explore safely. The bed was very comfortable. Everything was clean, and Lydia was a great hostess!

A Perfect Peaceful Getaway in the Tennessee Mountains

I couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind. This charming cottage near Dollywood is the perfect peaceful escape. Nestled in the beautiful Tennessee mountains, the setting was serene, quiet, and surrounded by nature, exactly what I needed to recharge.The cottage itself was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully furnished with everything I could possibly need. From the moment I arrived, the host Lydia went above and beyond to make sure my stay was comfortable. She was incredibly attentive, kind, and responsive truly the best hospitality I’ve ever experienced.I felt so relaxed and at home that I extended my stay by an extra night and honestly, I still didn’t want to leave! If you’re looking for a relaxing, quiet retreat with a wonderful host, this is the place. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Location was great. Description was vague but accurate. Didn't realize it was a studio and no bedroom. Had a musty smell, most liking from the air conditioner. Overall met our needs for the weekend.

Quiet little cabin on a pond

We enjoyed staying at this cabin. It is tucked away in a quiet area in Sevierville. The pond was nice. I relaxed and watched my husband fish. We did spend a lot of time in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge but it was nice to come back here to enjoy some rest and relaxation. Me and my husband would stay again.

Peaceful Relaxation

We loved everything about this little cottage, we literally came to get away from everything, we fished in the pond, layed in the hammock and relaxed. Lydia was great and made everything super easy. There is also a excellent italian restaurant just down the road. We will be back soon!

This is the cutest cottage in the most peaceful area. The pond and grounds are beautiful. It feels like you are a million miles away but you are actually only about 10-15 minutes from everything!
