We had a fantastic time staying at this cabin. Greg and Amy were exceptional hosts. The property was very comfortable and immaculately clean. We were surprised when we opened the refrigerator to find bacon, eggs, milk and water. What a nice welcome. I would highly recommend this property to family and friends and would definitely stay at this property again.

We were in the area for Bronco Off-Roadeo and this cabin met all our needs. It was 12 mins from our event, surrounded by nature and was probably the cleanest cabin we’ve ever been in. Communication from the host was top notch and our stay was very comfortable.

Loved our stay here. Very clean and loved the extra touches the hosts provided. Great check in and out process. Communication from host was excellent, very friendly hosts. Plenty of room for four adults. Took advantage of the garage for parking motorcycles, was very nice to have! Plenty of room for parking our trailer and truck as well. Overall very relaxing place to stay and will stay again if we come back to the area.

Great spot! Especially if you’re in town for dragon and the other riding locations. House was very clean, inside and out. If you forgot something, no worries, it was there! They even had a dozen eggs, pound of bacon, and milk in the fridge. They also had little things of cereal, muffins and coffee stuff too. It was really great, especially if you get in a little later and didn’t have a chance to get to the grocery store. It would definitely get you through until the next day. Class act! We’ll be back again.

Place was great for what we needed it for. Spent the weekend to ride the tail of the dragon and surrounding areas. This little cabin is conveniently located minutes from the dragon. Parking is great and enough space for full size pickup and 14ft trailer. Garage to park bikes inside at night, perfect.

Beautiful cabin in a great location for exploring Tennessee! All of the personal touches were so thoughtful and welcoming. Great central location for our adventures with beautiful surroundings to just relax and enjoy nature on the porch or by the fire. Truly, they thought of everything! :) PS driving to and from the cabin is an experience in and of itself

Our little family of four stayed for the week and it was the perfect spot to relax. A very comfy stay. The cabin was really clean and home-y. Our host was nearby but we only ever saw them once and it was when he made a point to wave and check in about wifi service. They were super nice and communicative. My partner thoroughly enjoyed the proximity to the tail of the dragon. The views, in general, were awesome as well. Would love to come back!

Was a little surprised to find no full size oven, however the toaster oven did the trick for what we needed. Also there isn’t much privacy between bedrooms, was fine for us, may not be for others. Had a great stay and will definitely consider another stay in the future!

Absolutely great cabin, very peaceful and quiet. We road motorcycles in and were able to fit 3 full dressers in the garage. Friendly host that we met and discovered that we all work in the same industry. Would definitely recommend for riders coming in to ride the famous roads, and the not so famous ones. I would however recommend if your coming in on bikes do your best to arrive before dark. Happy valley road is pretty twisty with a substantial elevation change.

My two teenagers, my husband and I stayed here so we could be close to The Tail of the Dragon for the week. The location was perfect for that. The cabin was the perfect size for us, the host was super friendly, and having some groceries in the fridge when we arrived was super helpful and appreciated. Highly recommend this cabin!
